II HAVE a very interesting letter
4 from an ex.service man, who
confesses that he was a poor shot
when in the Army. and ascribes
his inferiority in that respect,
and he says in some others, to a
bodily habit that he has been I'M
able to account for. But his case
is best presented by himself. He
begins by referring TO a recent
article Of mine on "right-handed-
ness" and then continues:
my occupation Is house paint
ing and decoration. l am right
handed, but where position of
body counts ! work to the left.
When / was in the country when
young l couldn't account for it,
nor cannot now. / worked always
when hoeing or doing similar
duties, TO the opposite side"
(Those who have ever had the
happiness TO hoe corn will under
stand what he means.)
II have tried your test and find
it to work opposite on me. /
tried it with a ruler, as you sug-
suggested in your article, placing
the ruler under the right eye and
aiming along it's edge, and I found
on opening the left eye that the
aim seemed to shift to the right
of the object. but by placing it
under the left eye and opening
the right eye, the aim did not
chnage at all.
Test Is Made.
Il have tried this repeatedly
with the same results. Then my
daughter tried and found the re-
suits to correspond with your
statements. / am an ex-service
man. served in the A. e. r. in
France, and what / have said may
account for my poor record with
a rifle in the Army, and other
things"
This is an interesting instance OF
the fact that people in general do
not know whether they are right
eyed of left-eyed, although such
knowledge would often be of ad-
vantage to them. The correspond
ent says he is right-handed, but
has the habit of working always
ito the left. To be right-handed
normally implies an Unborn ten
dency TO employ the right hand in
preference to the left for any kind
OF work. A common test is in
writing. With the ma jority of per.

Women are scattering husbands

but now, it takes at least TWO

once upon a time, a woman
used to try to HIDE her marital

her decree on the living-room wall,

AUTHORITIES SEEKING
CANISTER IN KILLING

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-CE)-
Police believe they have identified a
gangster killer" as the murderer of
John +. Cunningham, young motor
car dealer, who was shot to death
Monday in an alleged bootleggers' rem
devious on North Philip street, and
were searching for him today. cun-
ningham was alive when found by a
truck driver, but died without making
a statement.
The gangster in question is suspect
ed by police of completely with num-
Der Of underworld murders during re-
cent years. Search for him began af-
ter the arrest Of two young women
last night. They are held as material
witnesses.
Four men were arrested Immediately

New Method
Quickly Banishes
Heavy Coughs

Why be annoyed and weakened by
persistent, strengthening coughing
spells when you can, through very
simple treatment, quickly stop all irri-
tation and very often Danish the trouble
entirely in "a hours?
This treatment is based on the ia.
nous prescription known as DIR. Kings
New Discovery for Coughs. You take
just one teaspoonful at bed time and
hold it in your throat for Is or 20 sec.
onds before swallowing it. The pre-
scription has a double action. 1t not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but it quickly removes the
phlegm and congestion which are the
real cause of night coughing. Thus,
with the throat soothed and cleared,
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
all night undisturbed.
DR.. Kings New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds. sore throat, hoarse
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic Group, etc.
Fine for children as we'll as grown
ups-no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon
full. At all good druggists. Ask for
