Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.
(Copyright, 1922

T%HERE is suggested lack of
muscular coordination in this
handwriting. For that reason
L we should expect close or deli
cate work done by hand TO be
very difficult and trying for the writer.
Though her will may be great enough
to force her to do many such things,
it would apparently be a great strain
on her nervous system. If possible, she
should refrain from this type of work,
as it would surely eventually be a tax
on her entire body, perhaps endanger-
ing her health
In the definitely tied "f" and very
open 20" there is queer contradiction.
The first would suggest a careful,
frugal type of person, while the latter
denotes generosity. 1t may be that she
is more than willing to help any worthy
cause, giving of both time and money.
She probably manages and budgets her
finances, however, in a very precise way
Although the capital "T' is not over
large, the tall point Of the "p" suggests
trace of egotism. She probably feels
that her ideas and beliefs are the only
ones ones and should be generally accepted.
Ii may be that she lacks tolerance with
people who conduct themselves con-
trary to her viewpoint
Society perhaps holds great appeal
for her. She would seemingly enjoy
the rounds of gayety and activity which
it affords. Large groups Of rather
formal nature would possibly attract
her more than small, impromptu en-
tertainmentS. AS she appears to know
how to be very charming guest, she
perhaps is in great demand. We should
not expect her to be long content in
a quiet or isolated location. She would
want to live in the midst Of crowds,
where there was always some happen
ing of interest e~~

He did more. At his expense engin-

Before leaving he gave a considerable

DOUBLING THE BIRD SEASON.

By increasing the open season this year on migratory wild fowl the Department of Agriculture has yielded in some to public clamor, or at least to that portion of the public that finds pleasure in hunting Last year without rhyme or reason, the Department cut the season to 30 days and in fixing the time for hunting used the worst sort of Judg- ment This year, as has just been announced from Washington the season is to be increased to 60 days.
 In Alaska it has been fixed from September l to October 31 That period is probably the one best suited to Alaska a whole But why is 1t necessary to regard the Territory as unit in administering regulations on wild fowl? Natural conditions do not justify such a procedure. Mani festly the same open dates not applicable to the southern that fitted to those in the far north, in the comparatively closer interior. No 6O0,0OO-square mile area in the United States could be so administered and none is attempted except Alaska The Territory ought to be split into at least two and if possible more, divisions. Many local organizations have asked that it be done but Federal authorities have not heard their requests with favor. Nor have they advanced any sound reasons for not making the division.
 Probably Alaskans ought to feel thankful for the 3o-day increase in the hunting season. If they do not it is not from constitutional ingratitude but rather from sense of mystfication. They do not yet know and no has advanced any reason able explanation of why It was necessary to curtal in the slightest degree the open in the Terri tory. Birds abundant increasing every year There has been no drought other natural causes to hamper breeding birds. The total kill in nor nal, or three-month, hunting here is infin- itesima when compared to that of any popuous State Wild fowl constitute an important source of food supply to Alaskans who do not happen to live where fresh meat be had by walking to the corner grocery In fact, the economic value of this game is of more importance to Alaska than the sporting value If Alaskans do not therefore en- thuse over the 30-day extension of hunting is but natural reaction to the absurd treatment the Terri tory has received at departmental hands in this matter of being denied the right to utilize a re- source that is abundant when such utilization would hurt no one and denial of it help nobody.

War Debts in the Campaign.
(Cincinnat iEnuuirer)

It is clear that the question of modifying the war debt settlements is going to be in the limelght for some months to come. Both the pressure of debtor nations and the sentiment of influential groups in this country will suffice to keep the problem before the Government at Washington and before the public.
 This does not mean, however, that the dispos- tion of debts owing to America should be or need be issue in the Presidential campaign. ITO reduce debts maintain them at present levels is not question of public policy to be determined by majority vote, but problem in practical economies to be met by calm analysis lof the economic factors involved.
 The Democratic Party has declared in it's plat form against cancellation of debts But it says nothing whatever against reduction of war debts The Republican Party, the other hand.
 is discreety silent the question at the nsistent demand of Secretary Henry L. Stimson. There is
 no real difference between the parties that issue Both prepared to stand firm on debts modify them, depending the economic conditions that develop in Europe and America in the next six months
 The object of leaders who help to form public lopnion on this question should be, not to cham pion debt cancellation debt reduction rigid debt observance but rather to make plain the nterde- Ipendence of Europe and America, and the extreme importance of close cooperation between them on economic questions.
 This point of view will leave the Federal Gov ernment free of limitations imposed by prejudice and it than face the real situation in interna- ona finance, able to readjust the debt burden to
 suit Europe's ability to pay, if such readjustment
 proves be necessary to avoid further decrease of world trade

Most of these countries at the time extending the area of public forests.

Nor did he know why Jerry had gone flying away in the night, when his presence would have add ed so much to the strength of the besieged forces in the house.
 It had not occurred to him to question Jerry's motives. Jerry's safety was the only thing that worried him.
 But no, that reckless, scream ing zoom of the monoplane had been with Jerrys hand on the stick. And once in the air, Jerry would be safe. If Won Richthof- ems red-nosed circus hadn't been able to bring him down at St. Quentin, certainly he was in no danger now.

Then, just within easy range, they mounted the gun and lay down in the sawgrass.
