DOES NOT HARM THE HEART Gold Is Sought In Fort William Fort William.--There's gold under them that streets, said Fort William residents recently, This fact, suspected for some time, was believed confirmed by the seratching claws of a chicken. The thicken, owned by. Walter Bailey, yielded a gold nugget about the size of a grain of wheat while it was be- ing dressed. Bailey resides near a brick plant where two years ago workmen un- covered a number of nuggets in a scam of sand, lying above clay that underlies Fort William, The find by Bailey renewed interest in the pos- sibilities of washing gold from the sand. Aside from some "panning" by a mine near the spot where the work- men found their nuggets, nothing fur. ther was done to develop the possible gold mine but now renewed interest in the spot is being shown.

The champion mothers were chosen or the number of healthy children in their families, and those with less than ecight were not even in the running. Only mothers married since the World War were admitted _ to the contests. All are robust physical types and the majority are in their forties. Their combined broods total 926 -- an average of close to 10 apicce. They came to the capital at the expense of the government and are to be feted by the Romans for three days, which is Mothers' and Childr- ren's day in Italy. Mussolini will receive them before they go back to their homes and will give them diplomas and prizes. The meeting with II Duce in Venezia Palace. was established as an wgn- nual affair last year, Ld Although there are some new fac- es in this year's assembly most of the champions are those who won out last year, many with another ad- dition to their "rood. While in Rome the mothers will have free access to public entertain- ments, will ride free on street cars and auto-buses and will have free board and lodging. They will receive the plaudits of 'the public in a parade, 6 The annual contests and Rome meeting are part of Mussolini's plan to increase interest in large families and thus augment Italy's population Last October he reviewed a parade of prolific mothers and their families at Milan, Beauty contests have been frown- ed upon by official Italy =ince the idea of the champion mothers was evolved. most prolific ?

"Why, you haven't changed a bit, Michael," she gushed, "I should have known you -anywhere." He swallowed something that re. sembled a curse, but his face remain- ed puzzled. Who was she? Sudden- ly he recognized beneath the make- up and dye something familiar, and a queer thrib.throbbing started in his brain; ITere was the cause of all the trouble. Daphne's step-mother, Richard Eden's wife, But what did she want with him? How had she known he was here? . "I saw Daphne yesterday," she said and at that spoken word he changed again, and the woman, wat- ching his eye, saw it. So there was something between Daphne and him, Hadn't she sensed it, Well, this might mean something worth while, for there was no doubt about it, looking around her, Mich- ael Borde had feathered his nest well, Here something hard and fierce in her sprang up again and she re. membered Richard Eden - and the stories he had told her of his inven. tion, But shg must go warily, she must not let Michael Borde know that she guessed the truth. "Won't you sit down?" lhe said quietly, but as Michael Borde seated himself in the swivel chair at his desk he felt himself go weak as water. What could this woman and Daph- ne have in common?

Hurriedly his thoughts worked, In the days when he had known Lily Eden, Daphne was away at school, he could not remember having seen her. So Daphne must have told him the whole story, she had gone to her step.mother when she left the farm and alhough he was puzzled, Michael felt this fitted in, Collecting up a sheaf of memories, lvmsolf and gathering he leaned back in hig chronium yplated chair, "Now what can I do for you, Mrs. cden?" he asked, She gave a sort of flurried giggle. "Oh, well, I sort of felt I'd look in when I found out where your place was," she said, and although fuming at the waste of time, he controlled his annoyance.

Just the same old skinflint, "It was Daphne made me remems ber you," she said at last, hesitating to know how she should begin, "She was asking about you?" "Indeed," he remarked, eyes hardened a little, So Daphne was with this woman, And she did belfeve that lying story. Otherwise she would not have dis: cussed him with her step.mother, "What is Daphne to you?" she sald suddenly, shrewdly making up her mind now that direct methods were wiser with this man. "No, Michael Borde, It's no use you sitting there, looking like the sphinx, and preten. ding you don't know why I've come here. I want to know what there is between Daphne and you." : "Nothing," His voice was like ice.

For a minute he gazed at her un- comprehendingly, and she watched him narrowly, The telephone béll rang, and he lifted the instrument from his desk, with a murmured apology, Bhe saw his eyes go to his watch, noted his face, but his words were noncommit- tal. "Yes, tell Lord Trottenleigh I" will be there, No, I had not forgotten. I've been'delayed a few minutes, that is all." "I'm afraid I don't remember," he said, facing her again, "I had noth. ing to do with Richard Eden's affairs beyond the fact that he and I work- ed in partnership for a few months, and that hg invested a few hundreds in my business, That money was paid back, The business was dispos- ed of and I had nothing to do with his patents."

CLAIR (Editor's Note. Hundreds of our readers have been helped to a greater understanding of them. selves through sending for a person: al character analysis from their own handwriting, Have YOU? See the invitation in the following art- Icle). The early part of a new year is a good time for stock-taking, Just as all business tirms generally take advantage of this time of the year to balance up their stock, find out where they are short,'and what they can do without, so way each-qne of us take advantage of this psychol. oglcally opportune timg tp have a mental stock taking, 5 In what qualities of character are we short? What do we lack in order to take advantage of the opportuni ties that a new year offer? Are we on the right track? Are we exerting our fullest energies in the right path?--or are wg pursuing a course that will lead to disaster, or at best to unhappinegs? Nothing can stand still, We either progress or retrogress.) And no one of us wishes to go backwards. It is my advice to all my readers that you quietly explore your abilities, your characteristics, 'your talents, --don't be afraid to tell yourself the truth, You are cheating no ong but yourself when you wilfully overlook points in which you are lacking. How can @Graphology help you to make the most of yourselves? Well, it can do what most people are fundamentally unable to do--it can tell the truth bias or favour. It will show up un- erringly your faults and weaknesses and, it will be quite fair too, It will show equally wherein are your good characteristics, Handwriting does reveal the truth about=the writer. T'hkis has been em- emplified so often that, today, there are very few sceptics, "Madge" of Moose Jaw, Sask, writes, In part: "I am enclosing a specimen of my husband's writing as well as my own, I would like to know if my husband intends to re. ally mend his ways, as he has" prom: ised. Will he keep his word?" Well, Madge, your own writing shows that you are of a reserved nature. You do not reveal your real fealings, You arg also inclined to study your own sell-Interests, to some extent, And you also display about - you, -- without np sqme fmpatience, and consequently irritability. The writing of your husband in- dicates that he "has a somewhat highly.strung nature, He is impul- sive; and often does things with. out really stopping to consider care: fully what he is doing, There is an- other trait in his character that he ought to check. Hg is a procrastina. tor--indefinite and rather -vacillat. ing. He, does not seem to to able to make up his own mind, or lay down a definite coursg of action. He certainly needs to cultivate more determination and decisive: ness, Instead of taking the line .of least, resistance. He undoubtedly means well when he promises you that he will mend his, ways, but 1 am afraid that he is hardly of a sufficiently strong character to keep to this, unless he buckles down, and realizes that this procrastinating and Indefinite way of doing things and behaving is not to his advantage.

My mail has been interesting, many mothers agreeing that "my sentiments were their own. But others are troubled, They belleve the. best course is to let the little member of the family not born t? them, know the truth, At once 1 wigh to'say that this is a matter in which no outsider in cluding myself can step in and give directions. It is most certainly a personal one, a sacred onvi-eath mother having to work out thé prob- lem for herself. Noble Act But to those who have put question up to me, I say this: Adopting a baby or little child, | believe, entitles the army of foster parents to first place in heaven, It is the noblest act, the finest gesture of which the human race is capable, The love of such a child for his parents and their love for him is in no way any different from that of ithe emotional relationship existing between the natural child and par. ents, * He grows up secure in that love, depends on it, lives in it, holds it deep in his « being and faces the world with it as his shield.

It is for each mother herself to decide. Probably no two cases of ad- option are quite alike, The fear that someone efse will tell is well groun- ded. This leaves the three general alternatives, 1 think, either to avoid from the first; or to choose the right hour, when the attendant sorrow or shock will be lessened by some. other great happiness; or to wait until he is' much older and his wordly inter. ests will in part compensate for any emotional disturbance. Fish. On Tuesday Hard To Promote day as-well as Friday have difficul- ties. The male authority. for the "drive" said the other day: "I am trying .to get. across, to housewives the importance of dis- tributing their fish purchases over the week if they want to reduce the price of fish. The reason prices are purchases are -made on Friday, and as a result additional help is requir- ed by the dealers and it is necessary for tk2m to raise prices'to cover this overhead and expenses incurred dur- ing the lean days." Tuesday was selected because it is near the first of the week, and in the past housewives balked at pur- chasing fish on Monday or Tuesday because they believed "it was' left over from Friday, According to those trying to out the scheme, if dealers wanted to cheat, they can do it just as well on Tuesday as any other day.
