THE FALL VERDICT

Because of his age. his i'll health md the punishment that has been already meted out to him in the lowered estimation Of his fellow citi- xens, the jury's verdict of guilty against Albert B. Fall was accom- panied with the recommendation that the former secretary of the ln- terior be granted the mercy of the court. Many citizens will agree that mercy is not out of place. There need be no spirit of vindictiyeness against an aged and infirm man. TO be known in history as the first cabinet officer to be convicted Of bribery is in itself terrible punish ment.
 Fall without question was the most faithless public servant of the present generation. It is true that temptation which assailed him was strong: but of what value is a public official if he cannot withstand temp tation. They above all individuals must be prepared to turn a deaf ear to the whisperings of evil.
 Fall was weak. The oil men hav- ing designs upon the public domain quickly found this out. It only re- Suired a little black bag containing S100,000 to clinch the Elk Hills deal. The government also lost title at Teapot Dome Nothing Of the sort could have happened had Fall lived up to the requirements of public office.
 Now, eight years after the event the former secretary of the interio, is found guilty of having accepted 8 bribe, this consummating the first outstanding victory of the govern ment as a result of the oil scandals the return of the disputed oil lands excepted. The motion for a new trial of course, is mere legalistic technic There is little doubt that the yer. dict will stand. And if it does, E.

Two nervous young men, with just time enough to get their tickets and catch the midnight for Boston. commanded a Red Cap in Grand Central to get them two ham sand wiches and a bottle of ginger ale, quick. In the bag of ono of them was a bottle of Scotch and they thought to have a nightcap or two. The Red Cap caught the gentlemen as they were hurrying through the gates.

Fortune Telling Art of Ancients

Down through the ages has come

all sorts of ways have been used to
foreteli the future. Here are some OF
them:
Alectoromancy is the long word

tune telling by the way in which
chickens pick up grains Of wheat.
Capnomancy is the ni< bod Of fore
telling the future by watt ing smoke

Lithomancy is based on the aspect
Of precious stones.
Bibliomancy Is based on the random
choice of words or texts of the Bible.
Onomancy assumes hidden meaning
In the way letters are arranged in per-
Sonal names.
Myomancy makes use Of the be-
havior of mice.
Chiromancy is the name given for
| telling fortunes by the hands and
cartomancy by means of playing cards.
Even If you put the whole thing
down as nonsense and superstition the
chances are that you are glad enough
to have your own fortune told when
ever the opportunity presents itself, and
