CHINS, FOREHEADS.
Regardless of the common belief, the receding chin is not a weak chin. There's no such thing as a weak chin. In character study a weak chin does not exist. A chin indicates this or that, but not weakness. As for the forehead, the bulging type indicates the slow thinker. But that does not mean that ho is not brainy, for some of the world's greatest men have foreheads of this type. In the ultimate result they are as brainy as the opposite type of foreheads denoting quick thinkers. As for noses, they mean a great deal, and It ia signi3cant that the great leaders of the world have been men with big noses, especially noses of the Roman type. All these things a character analyst says in the Iron Trade Review, and we think that he is on the right track.

tthe diminished consumption of food and other articles will do much to relieve the country from the strain of war. The less the people use the less strain there is upon the productive capacity of the nation and the more can be devoted to winning the war; the more the people save the more liberal financial support can they give the government. This is the people's war, and it is to be financed by the American people, not by the rich and not by the poor, but by the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the wage earner, the miner and the farmer and the manufacturer.
PROSPERITY ASSURED. The Calumet region, consisting largely of car works and allied industries, is assured a long period of prosperity. Capitalists interested in railroad properties believe that the American car manufacturing concerns are ia for the longest period of activity and prosperity in their history. American railroads alone require more rolling stock than ;t is in the power of the combined car manufacturing capacity to supply. The demands of the roads will increase greatly in the event that the war continues another year as the speeding up process that must be put into effect on all the railroads in order to feed and equip our own men and allies abroad will require sound equipment. Decrepit cars are frequently responsible for expensive delays to say nothing of considerable actual damage. The United States government also is ordering cars in large quantities for Russia and is getting back of the companies that are being apportioned the business. Additional orders are announced almost weekly in this paper and all local concerns are booked far ahead.
TVHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEM ? One of the great figures in civil life in Europe today is Cardinal Mercier. whose resistance of all German efforts at the repression of his sentiments ot Indignation on account of German ruthlessness has made him an exponent and spokesman of Belgium whom Germany has been compelled to recognize. His Indictment of Germany before the bar of religion and civlllcation has made even autocracy take note, and it has found in him a foeman worthy of its steel. But this Is not the only service the great cardinal has performed. He has seen with clear vision and described in fitting terms threats of some of hi 3 own faith In a pastoral letter recently issued, from which this extract may be madej Soma Catholics abroad who have never found in their hearts a word of reprobation for the German armies when they massacred the Innocent Inhabitants of Dlnant, Virion, Audenne, Tamlnes, Aerschot and Louvaln; when they shot our priests, set fire to our open towns and our defenseless villages; who re-. ' malned silent when the criminals were whitewashed and the victims transformed Into culprits; who for three years have watched with folded arms, unseeing eyes and closed lips the martyrdom of a nation formerly their friends; who have never wished aught but well to Germany these same Catholics today find heartrending accents and compose hymns to Christian fraternity, to forgetfulness of the past and to brotherly love' It Is not surprising that euch utterances aa these should hare made some of Germany's apoligists urge that the cardinal should be prosecuted for high tresoa. American pacifists would also do well to read this letter of the cardinal. It states many things they 6eem to have forgotten, or at least have chosen to Ignore,

Mailed By U. P. Men To The United States
BV J. W. 1'EGLER. (I'nlted Press Staff Correspondeat.) AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUARTERS. France, Aug. 20 (By Mail) Yay up at the end of this camp, apart from "those army people," are the United States Marines, the fellows who bought $60,000 worth of French war loan just as a starter. Army fellows have to come up to the marine camp occasionally to have
their teeth fixed or their feet repaired by the marines' chiropodist. Aside from these few invasions the marines don't suffer the presence of their ancient rivals. The chiropodist Is a Boston hoy who studied foot-cilture In Philadelphia
and enlisted when -war was declared. His book of operations shows a record of thousands of marching-blisters, hundreds of troublesome corns and & long list of miscellaneous foot troubles cured since the expedition came to France. With their own headquarters, tr eir own billets, their own instructors and a training-ground all to themselves, the marines are managing to keep the line drawn between themselves and the army. They claim their streets are a little cleaner, their manners a little better than those of the army. And It was a sort of a challenge to the fellows In khaki when the marines pulled off their sudden financial drive with the contribution of gold to the French war funds. To get to the marines camp you pass all along the line of the first contingent. At the road-eide you see the lean-to cook tents, covered with camouflage of paint and leaves to prevent aerial spotting. Cooks are preparing big pans of steak, cauldrons of stew and rows of peach pies for the time when those tiny figures visible on the ridge of the distant hills will form into columns Rnd come trooping back into town with a loud demand for grub and a whole lot of it. Khaki disappears from view and the gray-green of the marine corps takes its place in the scheme of the camp

soldier-sailors. At the road-side ther Is a long low roof, sheltering marine mules, while over the road hangs an
arch with the words: "Honor and Glory
to tha American Soldiers," written in letters of wild-flower by tha French townspeople. Officers Quietly encourage the rivalry between marines and the army, partly because of pride in their own arm ef the service and partly because they "know it's a good thing to have competition between two forces that are Hearing perfection in ths business of killing Germans. Just as present the marines are model boys In caring for their clothing because there is an order out that when 'the present Issue of uniforms is gone the marines will drop their greygreen and adopt the army khaki. No marine wants to wear the army suit. But the present marine uniform has lor.g trousers which won't do for th kind of fighting that goes on in the trenches.
NO wonder Russia is having internal trouble. They eat sunflower seed.? for peanuts over there.
INSTEAD of fighting the Germans the Russians are fighting one another. Anyhow, shows they want to fight.

THE SECOND BOND ISSUE. Buyers of the first Liberty bonds were giren to understand that if a later Issue of bonds should carry a higher rate of interest, they would get the benefit of the increased rate. Now it is proposed to make the second l3sue Vi per cent, but to make the bond3 taxable, whereas the first bonds are non-taxable. In the consideration of the second issue we must not lose sight of the moral obligation of the government toward the purchasers of the first Issue, If, the second or any subsequent Issue be made upon different conditions, the owners of tho first Issue bonds should have the option of exchanging their paper for the later issue, and. In any event, if the terms be altered the government should by some means maintain at par the bonds of tha first lssua.
THE NEED OF ECONOttT AND SxVYING. The United States Is now at war. A large part of our country's human energy ia taken away from the farms, factories and industries of peace, and until the war end3 all their energies will be devoted to fighting. A great portion of our productive energy is being turned into the crea'tlon of Implements of destruction. Many of our products are now being devoted to purposes of war. Destruction instead of construction is the object cf a great portion of the country's energy. As much of the human energy and productive capacity of the nation are cow being devoted to the purposes of war, so should the proper amount of the money of the United States be bo devoted. He who offers his life for his country Is offering the greatest possible sacrifice, but the American men and women who support the government with their money are doing their part. This war Is going to be financed largely out of the savings of the American people during the war. It is not too great a sacrifice to make for one's country in time of war to deny one's self luxuries, to cut down unnecessary expenses, to load quieter and busier lives. Not only will the money thus Bai'ed and used to buy Liberty Loan bonds help the United States but

The Other Night GA man phoned to THE TIMES, and ha wanted to know where he could buy five gallons of a certain kind of transmission oil advertised extensively in the magazines. We Could Not Tell Him! C'Well," he said, "I guess I'll have to stick to ' V naming another brand of transmission oil, "But I believe this 1 ' oil' is good stuff, but where in hell can I get it?" The Point Is This: CHere is a national commodity. It is sold everywhere hereabouts. It is advertised in all the magazines, and there are people who own cars who don't buy a magazine a month. Yet the people who have it for sale: the shopkeepers won't advertise it. CJHov is the man who wants it to know where to purchase it? CfAnd it's the same way with a hundred other lines of magazine advertising.
