The question is a mere formality, @ trifling preliminary to a second inquiry which will settle the first, If you are, “King Alfonso of Spain and the Crown Prince of Germany are both eligible for membership in the Order of Ehud.

I, myself, was punished for being left- handed, This is wrong. Some of the finest work of the pen and brush has issued from the left hand, The left- handed person is an argument for achievement and departure from ruts and commonplace things. He is al-, ways original and far from being! looked upon with pity should be cred- ited with the potentiality of genius. “Man became a right-handed ant- mal through centuries of fighting In which he had to keep the loft hand free to defend. and protect his heart, carrying his weapon in his right hand, A curious fact is that young babies are generally left-hand- ed, ‘This is because the mother unless ehe is left-handed herself, carries a baby with its head resting against her left breast, consequently, with its right hand next to her body, The baby grasps with his free left at ob- Jects that attract him and unless checked by the mother would grow up left-handed.” Now | have excellent personal easons for wanting to believe in the tev. Dr, Frye's theory of tho genius of the left-handed. Nevertheless, it seems only fair to say that Dr. Stier, a German physiologist, declured after an investigation of several thousand cases of left-handedness that the proportion of mentally infirm is greater among the left-handed than among those who use the right hand or both hands. Dr. Stier found that left-handedness Is In many cases in- herited, and he discovered that it was accompanied, in a remarkable num- ber of instances, by stuttering. In fourteen regiments of the German army he found 1,237 left-handed men, of whom nearly 1,000 had some tm- pediment of speech, Fifty per cent. of left-handed persons, he sald, had left-handed parents, He found too that left-handedness is inherited by three times as many boys as girls, a fact which should do much to con- vince the male half of the population and tell Anti-Suffragists that left- handedness is a sign of genius. According to Dr. Felix Regnault, however, your right hand {ts an artist and your left hand is a brute. The right hand was chosen by nature for works of skill, says this physician, because {t is controlled by the left side of the bralu, which is better sup- Ladies of the Order of Ehud, by the Rev.

Frye, a Methodist clergyman the clergyman plied with blood by the carotid arteries, Animals, according to Dr, Regnault, are ambidextrous, because with them there is no division of labor as with man. He adds that he has never seen a really ambidextrous person; that is, he has never found a hi being who used both hands equally well. cate work is always reserved for the right hand. With musicians the left hand is the mechanical hand, the right Is the artistic.

Dr, Frye's belief in the universal genius of the southpaw, The fact that there are so many left. handed pitchers may throw some light | on the Regnault theory that the left hand has the brute strength of the firm, The left-handed are well repre- sented in all the feids of sport.

Declaring Hughes's action the “most deadly blow” ever directed at public confidence in the Supreme Court, Walsh asserted that if he were elect- ed no case like that of the Danbury hatters would ever be decided but that bition of some powerful member of the court had to do with the question, He opposed a constitutional amend- ment by Senator Thomas of Colorado, however, designed to prevent such candidacies, because he said the com- ing election would be an effective referendum of the country's senti- ment, “In the nominations at Chicago,” said the Senator, “a tradition was broken which had acquired, as it was supposed, the force and vigor of a Constitutional mandate. “One Chief Justice sullied his fame by intriguing to secure a nomination first from one political party and then from another, But his successor dignifiedly rejected every suggestion that he become a candidate, “Justice Hughes felt impelled to take the same view when friends wanted him to become a candidate in 1912. In @ letter to Rabbi Wise, he said: ‘A Judge of the Supreme Court should not be available, though he be nominally eligible for elective offices. The Supreme Court must not be dragged into politics, and no man is s essential to his country's welfare as is unstained integrity of the courts.’ ‘ Walsh quoted Prof.’Taft as having eulogized this dec: “There is no crisis in the nation’s affairs, The crisis is in a political party, not in the nation, Justice Hughes was nominated to save his party, not the country,” Towusend answered that the attack was the effort of men desperate for argument age i ponent, against whom been charged as a court member he had swerved one hair's breadth from even-handed justice, $2,000,000 PENSION FUND TO AID SWIFT'S WORKERS CHICAGO, July $1,—Establishment of a pension fund of $2,000,000 for the benefit of their employees was an- nounced to-day by Swift & ers, The company is to furn money, About 30,000 persons, them in Chicago, are eligible to como under the benefits o1 044 Fellow Dies.
