place where he could turn around. And Miner can back surprisingly fast in one of those tunnels of his Have you ever seen an electric en- zine? You know it runs either way It looks alike at both ends. Miner doesn't look alike at both ends, but he runs either way. That is why that wonderful thick fur of his is so different from the fur of most oth. CT animals. You know you can smooth it either way. That is to say. it will lie down either way. It has to be that way. or he couldn't back up in a hurry. for it would be most uncomfortable to be brushing his fur the wrong way. But as long as there isn't any wrong way. he is all right.
 It wasn't until he reached a place where another tunnel branch ed off that Miner had a chance to turn around. Then he started after Danny head first. instead of tail first. Miner doesn't look as if he could move very fast, but he can down there underground move a great deal faster than you would think. So Danny fled and the worst of it was that he wasn't sure just where he was going. The one thing he wanted was to get back to the surface but he was not well enough acquainted with those deep tunnels to be sure that he was taking the right one.

vids fee the futurs. It has just a.
 nouneed reports for 1888. which
 contain several factoes ef great siS- nihcancs in rslatton to public health
 The figures indicate that the ex- pectancy of life among wage earn err was, in 1sas. bs.t3 at birth. whereas in 1911 and 1914 1t was 4s.s3 years.
 The life expectancy of the indus. trial population has gained s.1S years during the ls-year period. as contracted with the gain of only eos years for the general popula- ton. No doubt. this l. . rejection to . considerable extent of the in-
 creased attention being given to in-
 dustrial hygiene and industrial health.
 Caacer Ratc Rtses During 1928, the death rates from typhoid fever, scarlet fever. diph-
 theria, tuberculosis. diarrheal conn plaints and conditions associated with childbirth wero lower than be- fore. On the other hand. tho rates
 for heart disease rose, q did also those for cancer.
 These rates arc perhaps associated
 with increased longevity and with
 the fact that people arc now dying of diseases of advanced age rather than the infectious diseases which carried men off early in tho past. Of great importance perhaps was the increase in the death rate from
 diabetes. Since 1911. the death rate from that disease has increased 34 per cent, notwithstanding the fact that insulin has prolonged the lives of thousands of diabetics. Since the introduction of insulin, death rates from this disease have come down for all age groups up to IS. Between %5 and eb years of age. no important change has oc-
 cured. and the deaths from dia-
 betes after 65 years have shown . distinct and significant rise. Supplies Secretion It must be understood that insu- lin does not cure diabetes in the true sense of tho word "cure." It
 takes the place of . missing secre- tion from an organ called the pam creas, which provides . substance
 that aids the human body in sugar digestion.
 The speed and stress of modern life are definitely associated with
 the increased incidence of diabetes.
 It is known that great mental stress
 or great physical exercise can cause
 sugar to appear in the urine. hence
 the battle against diabetes would seem to be associated with the war
 fare against the speed and strain of
 modern life, as we'll as with the purely physical attempt to provide
 assistance for incapable human or gans.

 The boys faith in me was like a draught of heady wine. and smothered the little warning voice which told me that if l thus ranged myself upon Noels side in his at- tempt to achieve economic independ- ence of his father, in all probab- fifty I would jeopardize my own future in the great producers or ganization. was 50 angry at my employer.

 Bring me the score as soon as you can. Noel" said. II am sure you have altogether too exalted an opinion of my ability. but I will do my level best to write something worthy Of your music"
 Your kindness is divine" he told me fervently. Il shall bring you the score omorrow-no-how can |? You say it will not be best for me to see Mary?"
 We'll Laid Plans "No indeed" I answered prompt ly. T want you to keep out of Mary's way until the night of the little dinner which Prince Georges has planned to announce their en- gagement. He wishes to keep their betrothal a secret until then. so of course. you know nothing until you hear of 1t that night. But when you receive your invitation I want you to persuade Princess Olina to let you announce your engagement to her at the dinner. And if you dare to appear anything but a happy and devoted lover, l wash my hands Of you"
 Tt is difficult task you set me-" he said with wry little smile, though shall try to acquit myself creditably. But that does not solve the problem of getting my score to you"
 Let me manage that" told him. "Mr. Underwood. know. will be only too glad to act as messen- ger. I'll ask him to go over to your hotel tomorrow and fetch the mu- sic back. Do you mind if tell him and Mrs. Underwood about 1t? They are my best friends, you know. and they both are your very great ad- mirers."
 He winced involuntarily. from shyness. I knew, then resolutely conquered his nerves.
 II shall be glad to have them know. but you won't tell Mary about it?"
 As if his utterance of her name had power to summon the girl he loved, we heard running footsteps on the veranda outside, and the next instant Mary had burst wildly into the room calling frantically:
 "Oh. come quickly. somebody! Hurry"

 The very little baby lying in hia cradle Is responsive to the sound of his mothers voice. since 1t is asso- ciated with the most pleaAant ex- periences of his life.

tclligence, so the little finger is the index to sensitiveness and culture. Crooked little fingers show arrested development and lack of cultivation. That is just one reason why 1t is obnoxious to an expert to see an affected person curl her little finger when she lifts her tea cup. The more cul- tured person is. the finer and straighter the little finger.
 First and third fingers give an indication of artistic sense. If they have pads of flesh on the un- | derside like little drops of flesh, they show an artistic appreciation. even if the rest of the hand shows no creative genius. The center finger tells little.
 'Tapering fingers with too rounded fingernails show an erotic temperament, a brutal and selfish nature. Stubby finger ends indi- cate less intelligence than gently rounded ones. Full flesh on finger ends shows that their possessor likes to live fully.
 TcnipcrancntaI Hands
 "The general shape Of hands tells the tale when fingers are consider | ed also. The round. sweet. full feminine hand, for instance. may belong to the temperament that is exceeding hard. She may love one day and hate the next and she always hates whole-heartedly. 1 ''The mother hand. the hand oi the home-lover. is the one that ii broad at the base. sloping gently until the width just below the fling ] CTS is much narrower than at the

 Al the child grows older and att tempts the pronunciation of words it is important never to laugh at him. Tho child is often very sensitive about his speech and feels keenly any derision of his attempts. If he senses the laughter n . farm of loving approval as 1t sometimes is. he may retain his infantils speech as a method of getting attention.
 When the child confuses syllables in the pronunciation of an unfa- miliar long word he should not be made to repeat 1t correctly. one syllable at . time. To do 70 only leads to further confusion.

 As if Noel Veritzen had read my longing to help him realize his am bition. he suddenly stretched out his hand in shy appeal.
 "OA Mrs. Graham" he said. T dont dare ask you. wouldn't want you to do anything that would make my father angry at you"
 Don't let that consideration weigh with you a second. Noel" said a bit sharply. T am not very graciously inclined toward your father just now. and. frankly, shouldn't mind annoying him. Tell me how I can help you"
 Do you know that my father thinks you have remarkable creative ability and a wonderful sense of the dramatic?" he asked.
 gripped the table so hard in my excitement that I hurt my hand. But pain meant nothing to me at that moment Such praise as this. coming from Philip Veritzen. meant that perhaps I could at last realize the ambition I never had dared speak aloud, but which had obsessed me secretly for years-the desire to write something which could be put into drama form and perhaps pro- duced.
 The next moment all my flaming rapture turned to ashes.
 Sheer lmpertinence
 'I am sure it isn't because he Is prejudiced in your favor. either" Noel went on, shyly, although you knew. I suppose, that he admires your personality tremendously. Why, do you know that he even took Queen Olga's picture from the frame which had stood upon his desk so long and put photograph of you in it."
 That boy did not realize the sig nificance of his revelation l was sure-he is singularly unworldly- but I felt myself shaken with anger
 Where did he get my photo. graph ?" I asked a bit hoarsely. II never gave him one"
 ''No, he said you hadn't" Noel replied. T spoke of it, because 1t really is a wond -rful photograph of you, and he said it was one taken from a group of executives photo- graphed in the office for a maga- zine. Jia had yours taken out and enlarge cd"
 He stopped in sudden embar- rassed contrition.
 T shouldn't have told you that" he cried. "I had forgotten that my father cautioned mo not to speak Of it. Mrs Graham might not like it, he said. but no one except ourselves and the maid who takes care of this room will ever see the picture. and the girl doesn't know who 1t is.' But I am 50 sorry I spoke of it."
 Tt doesn't matter" said, pulling myself together. Later would deal with the matter of the photograph. Just now I must find out what Noel wished of me. He did not leave me longer in doubt.

Danny Meadow Mouse was deep CT down in the ground than he real ized. He was quite below the frost line. Jack Frost couldn't possibly get down there. He was running along through the tunnels of Miner the Mole. Danny had not known be- fore this that Miner ever went so deep. Miners tunnels with which Danny had previously been acquain- ted had all been just under the sur face. In fact, they were SO near the surface that Miner pushed the ground up as he dug his way along. So Danny had always been used to running along right in the grass roots. as it were. But these little tunnels that he was exploring now were way. way down deep.
 If Danny had not been SO sure that Miner must be somewhere asleep for the winter he wouldn't have been quite 50 bold. It did trou- ble him a little that he kept get ting the smell of Mole, and that that smell seemed fairly fresh. He couldn't understand this. He thought it must be that he was near Miners bedroom. So he moved very cauti- ously. Still. he didn't find that bed room.
 And then suddenly his ears caught a sound ahead of him. Some one was coming along the very tunnel he was in. Danny's little heart seem- ed to skip beat. He turned around. for there was room in that tunnel tor him to turn. and he started back. He could hear some one com. ing behind him.
 Its Miner," thought Danny. Tt can't be anybody else. He must have walked up. My. I wish l could get out of here! I don't like being so far down in the ground"
 It was Miner who was coming after Danny. Danny was mistaken in thinking that Miner had been asleep. Miner the Mole is not one of the sleepers. He simply had carried his tunnels down deeper. so as to be 'fo" lile iTUSt. ue edTlnHOrlnS had gone way down there so as L. get below frost. and it was in pur- suit of these, on which he lived, that Miner had driven his tunnels this way and that so far under ground.
 If Danny had looked back and seen anything. he would have been a surprised Mevdow Mouse. He would have found Miner the Mole running backward after him. Yes. sir. that is what he would have found. You see. that tunnel wasn't big enough for Miner to turn around in. so he only thing he could do was to back up until he reached .

New York. Feb. 26.-Some folks just cannot be good. Others just must almost kill themselves with kindness.
 Some women are born to rock the cradle. Others are pre-destined to be happiest piloting an airplane or hewing out other careers for themselves.
 Some women will find tho world of men at their feet with no effort on their part. Others are slated to go the lone way.
 These and others potent charac- teristics of people are revealed not by word of mouth nor by glance of eye but by the unconscious movement. shape and character of their hands.
 Has Heart In Hands
 That is the opinion of a noted sculptor and hand student. Simon Moselsio. For nearly 25 years now Moselsio has been studying hands In his Berlin studio he has one of the most varied, un- usual and noted world collections of sculptored hands. In his gall lery there are 250 different types of hands. hands from such famous people as. Chopin. 1sadora Duncan, | and many famous actors and phy- sicians. Also some fascinating | criminal hands.

AMERICA LOSING LURE
 IN IRISH FREE STATE

DUBLIN, July 15,(FD-The immigra grafton quota to the United States from the Irish Free State is likely to be reduced next year because there are not sufficient Irish born people wishing to go to America.
 Cornelius Ferris, American con- sul general in Dublin, said that he expected the quota, which is now 28,857, will be reduced to. 17,857 this month, with perhaps even a lower figure next year
