BY HERsERr rLusasaxR

Gov. Roosevelt has turned 10 SWIM
ming more and more during the last
few years. He has found that the many
hours he has spent In the waters at
Warm Springs, Ca, and in his private
pool at Hyde Park have been Of great
benefit to him.
He seldom has lost an opportunity
while serving as Governor Of New York
to slip away for an invigorating plunge
Incidentally, all signs at the present
point to an era Of simplicity In the
social life Of the Capital during the
Roosevelt Garner regime. The next
four years In this respect bid fair to
rival, II not surpass. any previous ad-
ministration.
The reason Is simply that neither
Roosevelt nor Garner cares much for
that sort of thing. And their wives
share their views.
Both Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Garner
have served notice that their elevation
to First and Second Ladies Of the Land
will not revolutionize their private lives.
Both have been working women with
simple, II not even severe, tastes.
Mrs. Roosevelt admits that she will
quit teaching. but at the same time
hints that she might continue her class
in current events In . drawing room &C
the White House. And Mrs. Garner,
perhaps q bit sorrcwfully, says she viii
give up her Job as secretary to her hus-
band. but intimates at the same time
! she will be seen around the w. P.s
ONCE working for the fun Of it."
There will be no social wars or prec-
edent sduabbles during the next four
years II these four have anything 10 say
about 1t.

0raphoiogy IL the effort to determine
ones personality or character traits

centuries the notion has persisted that
handwriting bears definite relation to

Graphology is neither . science nor
an art. I would call it Q presupposi-

IS something to It have no idea of the
complexities involved In the acquisition
Of our writing habits. Those who take
stock IN graphology jump to conclu-
citned to read something into hand
writing, rather than TO read Something
out Of 1t. They start out with some
persons known traits and then study
that persons writing for justification of
popular beliefs In respect to writing
styles. The way to determine the char
acter-reading values Of graphology Ii
to begin with samples of the writing OF
unknown persons. Study these SAM
Piles and then later study the indi-
vduAls who did the writing. You win
ind that the grain of truth in graph
ology Is extremely elusive
In recent years few competent and
painstaking students have tried to get
down to the facts. The best known Of
these Is Saudek, who has spent q LIFE
time with his researches. Saudek has
advanced our knowledge about graph
ology in several particulars His big
contribution Is this: He has exposed
the vast complexities Of the subject.
To all those who imagine that they
may read character from handwriting I
would merely say: Take handwriting

that all owls do hourishing
business at night, and our enemies. the

On silent wings the owls go scouting

should be worth all the traps In town.
There is nothing against the little

their bills to try to frighten away a
determined annoyer.
Mrs. Wright, in describing them, said:
The face looks like that of a tooth

in a closely-fitting hood" Not only do
these owls have marked features, but
the eyes are unusual in this, that they
are provided with eyelashes, most un-

A Little Saturday Talk.

T HAS been delight to find how
greatly interested boys and girls
are in the wonders Of the sky. ]
i have gone far and. wide over the
land, talking in public schools, and
very often I have chosen the topic Of
the stars
Most school pupils know that the sun
Is larger than the earth, but "how
much larger" Is harder question.
After my talks I have given time for
pupils to ask about special problems
which were In their minds, and want
to give you an idea Of the queries they
have made.
Are there any people on Mars7"
Was the moon thrown OIL from the
earth?" What are the rings Of Saturn
hke?" VIII q comet hit the earth some
day?" What are shooting stars?'"
Those are q few of the questions
which boys and girls have asked.
In this Saturday talk do not have
the space to answer many questions
about the stars; but can at least tell
something about the size of the sun.
Bring to mind room which measures
10 feet in each direction, including the
height Of the ceiling. Let that stand
for the size Of the sun. Then place
. plum inside the room and let 1t stand
for the earth.
That Is one way Of comparing the
earth to the sun.
OF course, room would not rep
resent the shape Of the sun. There are
no square corners" on the sun. It
Is a great fiery ball, with flames which
shoot up thousands and thousands of
miles above the surface.
Let us suppose that a hole 5000 miles
wide could be drilled clear through
the sun. That hole would be wide
enough and deep enough to hold 108
balls as large as the earth.
To answer other questions about the
sun, the planets, the moon and the
comets, have prepared an illustrated
leaflet which shall be glad TO mail to
any reader-child or adult-who sends
me stamped, self-addressed envelope.
