About Noses

The nose that is squat or fiat, or
negro type, indicates an animal
mind devoid Of finer feelings. The
nose that says in the middle shows
similar nature, cruel and treach-
erous. Pointed noses are sticky
peaks, says writer in Pearson's
London Weekly. This applies to all
sharp features. Like knives and
spears, they penetrate. These sub
lects are objectionably inquisitive
ana are liable to read your letters
Il you leave them about. If the nose
ls long and thin as well it shows a
narrow mind-sometimes found in
the religious hypocrite."

Where Cork Comes From

Cork comes very largely from
spain, but also from France, Por-
tugal, Italy, Algeria and Tunisia.
Inc tree is native to parts of Eu-
rope and Africa around the Mediter-
ranean sea, covering a total Of
about 100000 acres. Taking the

1t was typical OF the relationship which

Warned to Preserve Democracy.
Chancellor Gray, in his bscca-
laureate sermon yesterday at National
Metropolitan Memorial NJ E. Church,
told the graduates democracy is
standing on your doorstep with its
life in your hands"
There's the great cause that de-
pends on you" he said.
Men were fighting for it in Crom-
wells England and in revolutionary
France and again and again in the
German states. They fought for il
here-and haven't We honored them
But they did not fight harder battle
than you may have to fight"
DR.. Gray attacked the "blunderine
confusion of what passes for socia.
reconstruction" He charged that
the increasing wrecksge of nationa
character" was actually "the assassi.
nation of democracy"
Planned Economy Hit.
