La FOnette's Hands
Read to Reveal
Character

Senator La Toilette is man
with two distinctly unlike hands,
according to Professor Marcus Lee
Mar. medium, and Professor John
Bowling, palmist and character
reader.
Photographs of the Wisconsin
Senator's palms were shown first to
Professor Bowling. 1889 L street.
The identity of their owner was not
revealed.
The character analyst, explaining
that the lines in the palm were too
indistinct to be properly read, asked
that be be allowed to read the
character of the hand rather than
the lines.
Hands Unlike.
The hands are amazingly un-
like, yet it is quite possible that
they belong to the same man"
Professor Bowling declared.
Here" and he pointed at the
photograph of the left hand, is the
hand of an idealist, a man of great
literary talent, perhaps an orator,
at any rate a great dramatist, who
is sensitive to people, and who
knows instinctively what to say to
an individual.
1.-The owner of this hand is a
magnificent theorist, whose theories
are almost always sound and
arrived at in beautifully logical
manner"
Professor Bowling then paused for
moment and scrutinized the photo
graph intensely.
II want to alter a word l used, "
he said. "In preference to calling
the man an idealist, l want to call
him a great humanitarian.
Downright Honesty"
"There is shown in this left hand
also love of music. And there is
downright honesty"
The professor then took up the
right hand.
Here" he said, "is the hand of
an organizer, a leader, a man who
gets what he wants done. It 10 the
hand of an unusually stiong man, 4,
man with whom l should prefer to
be on friendly relations. He never
swerves from his purpise. and l be-
lieve he would almost always lie
right in those purposes.
This mar until he was about
forty has had to work for every
thing he has gained. But there is

INJUSTICE IN THE COURTS

AS a matter of common experience, it is not true that all
men are equal before the law" This is a public utterance of
Circuit Judge j. Hugo Grimm of st. Louis.
He contrasted the trial of "the man with wealth who hap
pens to commit a crime" and "the member of the brotherhood

wealth happens to be acquitted, the member of the brotherhood

iy before the law, as money and influence can and do defeat
justice.
The man of wealth and the member of the brotherhood of
crime, Judge Grimm illustrates, obtain the best legal talent.
They are able to make excuses to obtain continuances. Witnesses
disappear or suffer from lapse of memory. Many witnesses are
inundated. The poor mar cannot employ counsel and takes
the talent which the court gives him, usually a young inexperi-
enced lawyer.
Zee stimulates the intellect and ingenuity of counsel, and the
larger the fee the greater the mental effort. And when we have
his experience, a certain amount of friction in his mental ma
chinery, due to the absence of suitable lubricant in the form
Perjury, bribery, intimidation and now and then conspiracy
aid defendants of wealth or influence. Politics as well as money
helps these defendants to escape conviction.
Whatever the causes may be the public suspects that the
courts have not resisted the contaminations of lucre. There are
sound deductve reasons for this suspicion. When well adver-
tised judges, who enforce some laws sensationaly. grow rich in
{, few years, the public cannot be blamed for thinking that the
show of sterness is nothing more than a pretense to administer
Justice. 1t is a well known fact that many public officials iden-
tlhed with the prosecution of criminals are in league with law
breakers for financial gains.
Judge Grimm offers a few suggestions for reviving the fun
up, especially when defendants are wealthy or belong to brother
hoods of crime. Witnesses should be put under bond. Appeals
should be heard and the cases tried in a few weeks. The public

HAPPY WOMEN
DO NOT SMOKE

Happy and satisfied women al
o never smoke, is the opinion
of DR.. Hofstaetter, gynecologist, who
some time ago created a stir by his
assertion that smoking alters wom-
mems faces, making them look
mor masculine than feminine.
Women who smoke much have
almost invariably contracted the
habit at a time when they we're es-
pecially unhappy" he said in his
book, THE Smoking Woman"
Women regard smoking as some
thing smart" he continues.
Smoking affords them an oppor-
tunity to execute a surprisingly large
number of playful and, therefore,
graceful movements and positions.
1t is a significant fact that the
smoking woman is much more con-
cerned about the motions through
which she goes as she smokes than
