But i has, In Its own record, raised tjia question ot the regularity of Ir a proceedings and the consequent constitutionality of Its measures. Chili to Accept Peru's Proposal Santiago, Chile, Dec. 28. (Dy Associated Press.) The corre spondent understands that the Chilean reply to the latest Peru. vlan note will -contain acceptance of Peru's proposal that plenipoten tiarles ot the two countries be ap pointed to meet in Washington for the purpose of continuing negotia tions "looking to a settlement of the dispute over the provinces ot Tacna and Arica. The latest Peruvain note in commented upon favorably by the newspapers El Mercurlo and La Naclon. They agree that it is a' development bringing the negotia tions to a more positive stage. LaNacion thinks that a meeting ot plenipotentiaries in a foreign capital will be a satisfactory meth od of determining just what Is to be arbitrated. El Diario Ilustrado dissents from this view. It declares ther Is nothing to arbitrate other than fixing conditions tor carry out article three of the treaty of An con, providing for a plebiscite to determine the sovereignty of the disputed provinces. SCIENCE IN SIZING-UP JOBSEEKERS SEVENTY FEET THROUGH THE AIR German Xmas Day cf Gloom Berlin, Dec. 26. Christmas, once a time of great family cheer in Germany, this year only empha sized the depression of a defeated nation. At Potsdam, where formerly the entire Hohenzoitm family fa'.h gathered at the new palace to cele brate the anniversary, thero is only a handful ot former royalists still mourning for the dead ex- Empress Augusta Victoria. The former Crown Princess Ce cilie and her children are at Oets Mecklenburg, and residents at Potsdam are convinced that the former crown prince will celebrate next Christmas at Oels as a pri vate citizen. It is believed he will forward an application to enter Germany as soon as possible. Fifty per cent ot the families of Germany were without Christinas trees owing to their scarcity be cause of exorbitant prices. People actually fought for them In Berlin. Two fathers attacked a third carrying a tree, all tearing away at the bundle. A mob ot 600 gathered and a minor riot was threatened. When the fight end ed only the stump of the tree re mained.

The machine first flew for 20 minutes and then, after its wingsj bad been folded back it ran Into! Parts as an automobile. The idea is that motor airmen will be able to keep the machine in their gar age and motor out to the flying ground, where, after settinjr their ngs they can take the air. HIS TASTE FOR ODORS LANDS HIM IN JAIL JOURNAL WATT ADS Baxley, Ga., Dec 26. Sweet essence of cologne! It got "Sonny man" Green, colored, aged seven teen. In the boosegow here. He is charged with burglary. Sunnyman is alleged to hare confessed to Sheriff Carter that he entered ths People's Pharmacy and Goodman's drug store and took from the lat ter a quantity of perfume. Sonnyman's trading with white boys in fine pens and. pencils. which he exchanged for small I coins and pocket knives gave the sheriff a clue. But to cap the climax. Sonny man saturated his overalls with expensive cologne, and Sheriff Carter didn't need bloodhounds to take up his trail. He says a white boy helped him, but could not PAY. identify his alleged confederate. ping letter. You can see at a glance that it hasn't much char acter. And notice the unneces sary and fitful attempts at orna mentation. Here Is the final 'r' of the little word 'per' prolonged iu a micK siroKe ot an inch and a half, proving that the writer makes a lot of fuss over nothing. Here are letters of the same word not connected, showing that he Is .not careful In many things. In cluding money matters. "See the absence of differenti ation In that '1,' 'e' and '1." Why. they're all alike. Thig is a man who has got to nave everything his own way or else he can't work. Look at the blank space he left at the end ot that line, although there was room for the next word. He can't adapt himself. The more money a man owes the more paper he covers in writing a letter. Here, on the other hand, he has crowdd in a "word at the end of a line when ha should have carried it1 over to the next line. You see, there is no . consistency in that character "I don't know why a long, lanky, red-faced man, with big hands and feet and a head that is long vertically and a trianeular tace why such a men is alwavs employed out of doors in one of two lines, either shipping or con-i structlon engineering I don't know why, but I know It is always so. He has studied men as types, 1th an eye to "physioloev co ordinated with the- psychology of tne animal," and sees them first as types before diving into them as individuals.
