going to Singapore."
j While she was helping Helen Into

hadn't told him her name.
"Ivy Green," she said-
"That's not your real name, Is It?"
"No," said she, "ot course not.

I "Harvey Bowers."
I "Harvey Bowers," she repeated.
("Well, well, well, now what do you
know about that!"
' But she did not say what was to be
known about that until she bad flu
jlahed dressing the monkey. Then
aho began to elucidate, and there
was a look In her eyes which he did
not In the least like.
, "Harvey Bowers," she said, "the
klllor!"
I Anger and contempt seemed to be
gathering In ber brain.
"Do you know what 1 think ot big-
gnmo hunters?" she asked.
) "No. No, I don't," eald Bowers
tastily; "and I'm sure 1 don't
want to."
f But shs had made up her mind to
kell blm what the thought, and she
proceeded to do so.
; "I think." she said, "that a man
who goes around with a high-powered
rifle, taking no chances, and
tmurderlng the big boautlful wild
things. Is low and rotten and coy
ardly. Put that In yonr pipe and
moke It!" Then sho turned to the
monkey: "Don't look so happy
jllelen," she said, "We have Just
Jbeen fired."
KJO, you haven't." !i Bowers
quickly. "Not If you still want
jllio Job. You have a perfoct right to
join opinion, even It you Jump to It
from a sloppy take-off. I suppose It's
thinking the way you do that makes
you get along with animals; but It
doesn't look as It yon were going
lo got along quite so well with me.
But that's neither here nor there,"
' "Oh. yes. It Is." aald the young
'woman who called herself Ivy
Green, and admitted that ,t was not

that yun are not Just another anl
moir We'll get along all right If you
behave yourself."
Bowers wax quick to take offense
and quick to forglio. Ills dlspleas

mouth spread Into a sudden beguil

CHICAOO. (UP) All thwe marl
tal difficulties fti readi ao much
about could have been avoided by
merely consulting a calendar before
marriflfje, according to Henry J. Gor
don, who recently addra&sd tha Na
tional AstrologtftntV association hern
The Gordon, method can be boiled
down to this before marrying a
couple should check their birth dates
with ths calendar. Persona born In
certain months Junt haven't a chance
for marital bliss. It all depends on
when the prospective newlyweda were
born.
For Instance, lovers whose births
are three or nine months apart won't
make a success of marriage together.
"When birth dates," Dr. Gordon
said, "are one, five, seven and eleven
months apart, they predict a frater
nal love. Physical and material at
tractions predominate in unions
where births are separated by two or
ten months.
A separation of four or eight
months In birth dates signifies that
the couple would be real soul mates,
he said.
Dr. Gordon denounced racketeers
In astrology, stating that seven out
of every ten star readers are quacks.
Burton N. Brooks of New York went
even further, estimating that out of
10,000 astrolog&ta In New York city
there are IS good ones.

LONDON. (UP) Fingerprints may
come to the aid of the medical pro
fession In Its war on disease.
Dr. Helnrlch Poll of Berlin told the
delegates to the Anthropological con
gress that much more Information
could be obtained from finger mark
ings than the records on police files
provided.
During an outbreak of Infantile
paralysis It was found that the vic
tims belonged to one group, all pos
sessing the same characteristic fea
tures In their fingerprints. Similar
results had been obtained In case
of people affected by other diseases.
It had been possible to distinguish
Inmates of a mental asylum from
sane persons by means of their fin
ger markings, claimed Dr. Poll, while
racial and ancestral Information also
are obtainable by expert atudy of th?
fingers.
Professor Cummlngs of New Or
leans, commenting on Dr. Poll's dls
vorerlS3. stated "There is perhaps
some hope that we might Isolate In
dividuals who have a predilection for
infantile paralysis In an area where
Infection has begun to spread."
