Character Reading of Match Box To the trulygreat nothing is ever. email. Carefully watch a man as he strikes a match on a box and you will be able to tell his character to such an astonishing extent that all other mind reading schemes will be as nothing. The rules' are simple. You can find some excuse to hand a man a new box of ;safety matches; and even if you turn your head as he strikes a match you can tell about him by looking .at the. box when it is returned. The striking portion of the box will have at least one scratch. If only one scratch is found, and if it is in or near the centre and lightly made you have before you aman who is careful, ac- curate, gentle and thorough, a man who never does things• by halves and who looks to see what he is doing. There is an exception to this if the scratch is across one end of the box and lightly .made you have a man who combines all the other good qualities with a habit of thrift and economy. The wise man knows that the easiest way to strike a safety match is to rub it gently on the scratching surface. If he accomplishes his purpose and uses a small fraction of time surface he is sure to have enough of the composition left to finish all the matches in the box. The man who has a box which keeps him busy looking for a new placeto strike is a man who goes ahead without due regard to the future —he has used his• surface regardless of what is to while. If a man makes half a dozen digs on the striking part he has little system in his makeup, If he strikesseveral times in quick succession without giving the match a chance to light he is not sure of him- self or anything else. As a workman he would waste time and material. If a mart's oven match box is torn nod (ti'niest useless you may employ him to drive slaves or mules but he WW ruin the mules. If his box surface is evenly worn when the matches are gone the man is a careful workman in any line. The man who strikes at random, jab- bing it here and there, sometimes lightly and lastly with a hard stroke, is careless and sloppy and shows im- patience as well as temper—a man whoblames his tools for faulty work. A'rough jab denotes stubbornness and'a grade of "don't care" according to the fierceness of the mark. Such a man is not efficient and would drive screws with a hammer to finish his work; regardless of the staying quali- ties of the work. A straight scratch shows thought, a circular one shows flippancy and light- ness of mind, not always bad, but us- ually carefree and rather a good fel- low in any old place. He will tell good stories and be well liked, although his -Work may not be up to the very best of standards. The man who strikes and misses is not to be depended upon, for he is ab- sent•minded, and •so is the man who lights his match and forgets it until it burns his fingers. If he burns his fin- gers and squirms and swears he is a man who will acknowledge his own • short -comings, and is a. good fellow. If he seeks to hide his mistake he is secretive ' and overly cautious, he would make a good secretary—if you watch the cash box. The fellow who aweare, vigorously might possibly take '+our money in one grand robbery, but he would not pilfer. The Secretive fel- low might sneak away a little at a time—but absent-mindedness does not by any means indicate wrong doing.. These same rules apply to a certain extent to the girls, but those creatures usually make the striking surface look like a spider's web, which is hard to read. Old Trees in Sparing.

DU R OF CANADA V EXPORTS CARS TO FIFTY.. TWO COUNTRIES. _it In 1913 '' There Were 50,489 Cars in Dominion, in 1924 621,940. Trade figures illustrate very clearly that the Canadian automobile is main- taining its popularity abroad,. where it is penetrating into as inauy countries as Canadian wheat, In particular Can- ada has reached the'position where she is largely the depot of automobile supply for the outlying countries of the British Empire, these being "almost entirely dependent upon the Dominion. Taking the returns for the mouth of February, Canada ex=ported automo- biles to fifty-two countries, which com- prises practically the full scope of Do- minion export trade. In the month of February, 7925, Can- ada exported in all 4,008 passenger an freight automobiles worth $1,843,55 Which was a trifle snore than the fi uses for the preceding month and sub- stantially higher than for February the •previous year. In addition she ex- ported automobile' parts to the value of $455,750, a substantial increment over February, 1923. In the calendar year _1924, Canada exported 1.2,77 freight automobiles worth $4,429,161 43,833 passenger automobiles wort $22,030,232; and .parts to the value $4,992,049; a total value of $31,501,44 Orient Heaviest' Purchasers. n- d 1, g* b- of x- 2 h of 2.
