British Opinion Is Mobilized
By Eden in European Crisis
Wins Confidence Of Left
and Holds Prestige
With Right.
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, October 2.-The rise in
prestige of Anthony Eden is the most
striking personal fact in British poll
tics and, it may be. in world Affairs.
1t Is the more striking because so un-
expected.
In the circumstances Of today. the
office OF British foreign minister Is

taches to no other position in public
life. For any parallel to that re-
sponsibility we must go back to the
days when Napoleon was ravaging
Europe from end to end and when
Pitt was the one constant rallying
point against his triumphant eagles.
The failure OF Sir John Simon, in
some respects the most acute and
brilliant mind in contemporary poll
tics, was open and fragrant. His
timid handling Of the Manchurian
challenge was largely responsible for
the wave OF gangsterism that has
since swept the world and for the hu-
initiating collapse Of the League after
that wave, and the disastrous silence

The Comic Hand

The Comic hand is medium-sized,
tapering slightly in the palm. The
fingers are long and tapering, full
at the base and slightly pointed at
the nail. With this kind of hand,
according to writer in Pearson's
London Weekly, you are artistic
and luxury-loving, but are inclined
to be over-impulsive and indolent.
Not for you is the strife of the
world and you would far sooner be
left to vegetate in some quiet back
water of life. Emotional and sensi-
tive you have in you the qualities
of the great artist and the world
famous musician. However, wheth-
er or not you will make use Of
these fine qualities depends largely
on whether or not your hands are
hard and firm. The firmer they are
the more likely it is that you will
make your mark in the world.

Powdered Mummy Remedies

Mummies have always been par
ticularly prolific of legend. In the
Middle ages, powdered mummy was
considered "a potent specific for
many diseases, and may still be pur-
chased in the East for medicinal
purposes. But the effects of these
ancient cadavers have not always
been benign. There is a tale
told of the mummy of Rameses II,
the great Pharaoh, which was dis
covered in the Valley of the Kings.
Sscrilegious antiquarians put the
royal corpse on exhibition in the
Cairo museum: Rameses rose in
wrath to sitting posture, hit his
head against the top of the case and
cracked the glass. 1t is said His
Majesty uttered strange sounds
probably old Egyptian for "Ouch!"
and several persons were killed in
the ensuing panic.

Weather Men Grade Winds
According to the Force

Technically speaking, winds are
graded according to their force.
Strong" is the term for any wind
Of thirty miles an hour. Fifty miles
is the speed at which gales howl.
After seventy-five miles an hour
they become hurricanes, and any
wind falling between these two is
known as a whole gale"
The fastest straight hurricane"
ever measured was one at Mount
Washington, New Hampshire, which
reached the tremendous speed OF
231 miles an hour, though explorers
say that in Central Asia winds ex-
coed even that velocity, observes a
writer in London Answers Maya
zine.
Tornadoes, typhoons, and cy-
clones are something apart. Unless
actually caught up by one person
has absolutely no conception how
demoralizing they can be, for they
are more devastating than any ca
trastophe except an earthquake. 1t
is queer, incidentally, that more Oft
en- than not earthquakes are accom-
panied by tornadoes.
Those who have watched them
say that tornadoes start when two
enormous banks of clouds travelling
in opposite directions come togeth-
er. A violent whirl begins at cloud
level and rapidly works down to
earth. The speed at which the in
ternal whirling currents move is es-
timated to be anything from 300 to
500 miles an hour

Ancient Holyrood Castle
Once Was a ROYAL Palace

Edinburgh, the capital and show
city of Scotland, consists of an old
town and a new, both as much I'M
like each other as are Paris and
Constantinople. Both are situated on
lofty, parallel ridges, separated by a
broad, deep ravine planted with
trees and shrubbery, across which
stretches a bridge of giddy height.
Holyrood palace, long the seat
of Scottish royalty, is perhaps the
outstanding historical attraction in
Edinburgh, says writer in the Los
Angeles Times. Holyrood is tn e
thank offering of Scottish king,
David I, who met the adventure
which started the story surrounding
the old place. Attacked by an infur-
lated stag here, the legend goes, he
was miraculously saved by the lost
Holy Cross, or Rood, which fe ii
from the stag's antlers, and at
sight of which the animal turned
and fed. In his joy over his deliver
ance, the king erected an abbey
on the spot as mark of gratitude.
Four hundred years later the abbey
was replaced by a great palace,
built by King James V.
Many royal names are written
into the history of the old gray
pile, but the nirnbus of romance
encircles especially the memory Of
three: Mary Queen of Scots, Lord
Darnley, her husband, and David
Rizzio, her chief minister.

Youth Needs Much Sleep

A boy fifteen or sixteen years old
needs more sleep than at any other
time in his life after his infancy.
He should have about nine to ten
hours day of sleep. He also needs
more food at that time than at any
other because of rapid development
at that period of his life. Much of
his future health depends on the
care exercised through adolescence.
