Too often these are misread. They
are far different from the signs OF
anger instanced above; he who con-
fuses them will do much wrong.
Signatures of an angry disposition,
once mastered, never lead one astray.
They are rs plain as the nose on
the face.
Thin lips are suspicious. but not

The real characters to be looked
for are the eyes, the too flushed face,
and a certain appearance spread over
the entire countenance.
All signs fail at times, of course
Oncoming illness, worry, depreS-
sion-all of these combine at times
to make an otherwise sunny nature
burst forth into explosive clouds of
anger. No one with the slightest ex-
perience of mankind, however, can
possibly mistake these for signs Of
an inherently angry disposition. AL
though they may provoke q burst of
sudden anger In reply, such is the
frailty of human nature. they cannot
be suspected as being the ebullitions
of one of these innately choleric per-
sons who specialize in differing dras-
tically with others, and SO often over
nothing.
These are suspect, in a world where
in their kind already have caused far,
far too much trouble.
Theirs is the brooding, resentful
type of mind, that is happy only so
long as others do not dispute it.
At the first sign of difference they
long to settle the dispute by q resort
to physical violence.
The man of peace, who strangely
enough is found side by side with the
man of war, so curious is the world
mixture, never quite understands the
resort to arms-and fists.
If thing is on an intellectual
plane he thinks 1t ought to remain
there.
A difference of opinion, as far as
he can see, is entirely and wholly
mental.
Just because somebody else has
another opinion about something or
other is no reason why he should not
express it.
II the choleric man were to be
asked whether he did not think the
same he would reply that he did, but
in a few seconds his eyes and tone Of
voice, and perhaps the color Of his
face, would testify to the plain fact
that he did not think so. He wants
to be like others, but he cannot;
something deep in his nature makes
his eyes glare with little cause, and
perhaps his hair stand on end, who
knows?
He Is to be pitied, rather than CEN
sured, except when he wants to resort
to fisticuffs, then he should receive
as good as he sends, or thinks he
wants to send. He does q great deal
of harm in a world where already the
emotions of mankind are too near
the grossly brute. He is forever on
the forefront of progress, because his
very animality makes him valuable
there, rubbing out the physical and
mechanical opposition, but at the
same time he presents too great an
obstacle in the long march Of hu-
manity toward an ideal in which he
does not share. Let the civilized
world be afraid Of the angry man
and keep him in check as best 1t may,
else he will pull all down with him

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

The ancients had an entertaining
theory they called the doctrine Of
signatures.
1t was q naive belief that the in
ward property of thing was signed"
by its outward appearance.
An herb which had flower like an
eye, for instance, was supposed to
be good" for maladies of the hui
man eye.
If q leaf was kidney shaped. as
many leaves are, among the wildings,
it was said to be beneficial in diseases
of the liver.
An infusion Of such leaves. there
fore, was drunk with full belief that
relief would come to the sufferer. And
sometimes this happened, at least
often enough to confirm the faith
of believers.
Although time has more or less
discredited this famous old doctrine,
there was and still Is enough in it
to be intriguing.
Especially in regard to human dis
positions.
He who possesses a choleric tenn
permanent, for instance, almost always
signs" himself with red face, or
angry eyes.
Even a stranger knows full well,
with one look at the fellow, that he
resents nightly any difference of
opinion held by others.
He holds an inward contempt for
his kind, evidently, so that to him
any difference of opinion is pre-
meditated slap in his direction.
This would seem to show the curious
that he. too, belongs to the great
group of those who suffer from the
so-called inferiority complex.
A small and belligerent eye also in
dicates excessive inward anger.
Eyes too close together are another
sign, although often the latter indi-
cate excessive meanness and cruelty.
These are signatures" Of inward
disposition any one may test out for
himself.
While there may be other charac-
teristics tending to mitigate their
harshneSS, in the end, especially when
the person is caught OF guard, they
will crop out
The proper study Of mankind Is
man. said the poet, and everybody, in
a sense, is student Of his kind.
Often very little comes out OF 1t,
though. because the student feels that

value.
Even II they do, what can he do
about it?
Suppose one knows a characteris-
tically angry fellow, who as he grows
older tends more and more to resent
opinions other than his own.
What good does it do to know all
this?
Well, for one thing, he who loves
peace can avoid talking with the speci-
men, as far as possible.
This, of course, is easier said than
done.
Such a man specializes in anger.
Something deep in him is choleric.
The innate animal nature, demanding
plenty of ire to be able to get a din
ner. rises up and chokes him.
He Is resentful Of others, because
anything they do is just so much done
against him, in that any gain on their
part may be gain taken away from
him.
His subsequent words arise from
no more complex an emotion, then,
than ultimate hunger.
He is afraid he will not eat.

The untimely death Of Senator
Bronson Cutting, killed in an airplane
accident in the Southwest, is univer-
sally mourned by members of the press.
His liberal principles and political in
dependence bring commentator even
from those who differed with him on

as a severe loss to the Senate and the
Nation.

and an augury for the future. How

Gov. Philip La Toilette, whose election
as the first Progressive Governor OF
the State went hand In hand with
the election of his brother, Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, as the first
Progressive Senator since the estab-
