her secretary she meets 1iers hannen millionaire who forces his attentions on her lord edwards proposes to joah joan leaves miss ta fontaine to be come a mannequin at the balon celeste joan was left in peace however liut recollecting the shock she had received on the evening before when when she arrived home she did no allow herself to feel secure she thought about piers hannen and thought about him uneasily she did not like the idea of his having shares in the salon celeste especially for that too gave him power over her supposing she were ever to get on so well as to achieve any important position at the salon then ilaniun would have a definite influence on her career if he so wished liut she hoped that by then he would have grown tired of worrying her surely it could not last long a fortnight a month and she need think no more about him to her vast relief there was no car at the corner that night ryad no hannen in the kitchen when she arrived heme she heard from her father that hannen had been at the works that day and had gone through the shop and had stopped to speak to him jiv denby very civil ho spoke to me too remarked mr denby looking in quisitively at joan whens he

this because before the discovery of aspirin most so- called pain remedies were advis ed against by physicians as being bad for the stomach or often for the heart and the discovery of as pirin largely changed medical prac tice countless thousands of people who have taken aspirin year in and year out without ill effect have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct remember this

should joat see but lady elizabeth blagh lord edwards sister joan had never met her though she knew her by sight a plain but distinguished- looking woman with a cold humour less face to joans surprise while this customer was being shown the frocks lord edward himself came in he bowed when he saw her without a trace of surprise though he chang ed colour afterwards when his sister had gone he lingered behind for a mom ent and asked if he might speak to joan who came out into the ante room to see him how do you do he said and hid his nervousness by playing with his little guardsmans moustache miss la fontaine told me you were doing this i wonder if you would care to have luncheon with me somewhere im going to drop my sister in park lane and then i shall bo free it would be a kindness to me if you would i promise he added that i wont worry you i only want a friendly talk it was so amazingly different from the manner piers hannen adopted towards her that joan consented gladly poor lord edward at one oclock he came back and took her to lunch at the berkeley in quiet luxury he did not worry her as he had promised but talked of indifferent matters he seemed surprised at her becoming a mannequin and rather doubtful about it being quite the right thing for her lord edward she noticed was always in doubt never quite settled in his mind as to what he thought about anything she had never noticed it so much before and then it occurred to her that see ing so much of piers hannen had given her an erroneous idea of what people were like very few had his decisive habits and his tremendous obstinacy lord edwards pale coloured eyes looked at her pleadingly now and again but she knew that he had given up hope very soon as she knew he would he mentioned the name of piers hannen he told her how he had gone to malta in the corrair with piers and what a frightful time they had had coming home because piers had insisted on going ahead through the bay of biscay when everyone else wanted him to put in at gibraltar but all those men the whole crew were absolutely under his thumb of course theyre his employees but im sure they would have mutinied if he had been any other owner i tried to make him stop but he wouldnt he had some idea that he wanted to get to london and that was all that counted with him it is all that does count with him the thing that he wants at the moment said joan with a smile yes im a nervous sort of chap i i suppose but it didnt daunt him in the least though it was a terrible trip that we had he did one thing that made my hair stand on end in fact i dont know how hes alive now one of the hands got washed overboard at night in a tremendous sea we put about or lay to or what ever they call it and tried to pick the fellow out with the searchlight finally they located him being wash ed about quite helpless he had a broken arm as it turned out after wards and then a sea hit us and put the searchlight out of action i thought that that was the end of the poor fellow and i was feeling very sick and furious with piers for get ting us all into the scrape but he went over into the dark with a lifebelt piers did into the dark and those terrific sens he got the man and we towed them both in thought the fellow was dead but piers got to work and tried artificial respir ation on him for over an hour he this england easy menus

very helpful to you and tho author of this article makes an especial invitation to you to take advantage of this opportunity see the following article m my remarks in some earlier art icles regarding the extent to which a handwriting analysis can help in forming your future have inspired one lady to write and ask for more information on this point this seems an opportune time for me to do so what you are and wiiat you do depend to a largo extent on your character other things such as edu cation environment upbringing op portunities and so on do enter into it but these are all relative and can all ie influenced by your character people with sufficient strength of character can overcome all deficienc ies in these other angles by applying themselves to the task take two men to illustrate my point one of them is strongwilled determined persistent and perserver- ing he makes up his mind to pro ceed along certain lines in order to reach a definite peak of progress he has the strength of character to apply himself and to keep on even though obstacles present themselves he may at time become a trifle down hearted but it is merely a temporary feeling and he reassures himself by calling on his selfconfidence and by renewing his efforts the other man is indefinite vacil lating and weak he has little or no willpower cannot make up his mind what he wants to do nor how to go about tho work of getting sonic whore he procrastinates hopes for something to turn tip like micawher but doesnt make the necessary ef fort to achieve things for himself when things turn out badly or he cannot see anything in alio future to hope for or to look forward to he gets dejected and starts blaming conditions or lack of opportunity anything and anybody but himseir whicil of these two men can rea sonably look forward to a better fu ture ono doesnt need to be a cry stal gazer or foriune teller to con clude that the first man tho one with character will improve his posi tion whilct the other one will lose ground now the science of character reading from handwriting can tell you your characteristics it can tell eacci of the two men whose cases 1 have quoted exactly wherein lies his strength

statement ger many it is clear is the first euro pean country to tackle on the large scale the problem of dealing with increased automobile traffic german road experts declare that in the im mediate past in germany millions of marks were paid out for merely im proving public roads whereas the new scheme provides a radical de parture by taking into consideration the future development and expan sion of automobile traffic there are observers of couise who point to the significent fact that the construction of these stra tegical roads coincides with ger manys planned rearmament but the nazis hail it is a labor of peace there is not the slightest doubt that these roads when completed will lead to improved security both for motorist and pedestrian by tak ing thousands of ears off the ordin ary roads the latter will be left comfortably free for ordinary walk ing hiking and bicycles when the fact that the 5000 miles of new roads will constitute only three per cent of germanys total road mile age is taken into consideration it can be seen that there is no ques tion of competition the new roads will have their special task of carrying motor traf fic only the scheme also ends the perpetual rivalry between state railway and roads because it is part of the state transportation system naturally it is bound to draw much goods traffic from the railways but this will be balanced by increased trade in other directions the new roads are to have a uni form style whether in east prussia or in bavaria they consist of two parallel tracks each one about 25 feet wide with a grass track in be tween 15 feet wide each half of the whole road therefore is wide enough for two cars to travel side by side simultaneously in order to avoid accidents the left side has been as signed to cars travelling at a great speed while the right side is for those cars wishing to go much slow er there are no crossings for the roads run directly through forests and over specially constructed bridg es whicli span rivers and ordinary roads at intervals pleasant looking watch towers covered in flowers have been erected in which the motor road officials sit watching the traffic and ready for possible ac cidents swift cars patrol the roads day and night for cars pass through long stretches of lonely areas where human help would be unavailable verything is being done to render the passage of the motorist along these roads pleasant and secure from danger described as the largest scheme for providing work germany has ever known the motor ltoad scheme has naturally played an important role in reducing unemployment in- deed this is one of the major reasons why the government rushed the scheme through in 1033 for unskill ed labor and unused blueprints lay ready to hand about 100000 laborers toil at the actual construction of the roads and it is estimated that another 150000 unemployed workers have obtained employment in the allied steel iron road and earth industries officials and clerical workers employed in the scheme number 3110 fifteen thousand of the laborers working in the roads live in 103 specially constructed workers camps built on the model of those used in big american undertakings they consist of onestorey wooden barracklike buildings tho men who live in these barracks receive extremely small wages but the- nazi government contend that it is better for the men psychologically to be thus employed although poorly paid than to be idling on the dole in cities
