All rights (Editor's Note: This series of ar- ticles on the always fascinating sub- ject of Character Reading from Handwriting, is arousing more Inter- est as it proceeds. Many readers have written asking for a reading of, their own handwelting, and the au- 'thor will read YOURS. See the an nouncement following the article be - CAN CHILDREN'S WRITING BE ANALYSED? A considerable number of letters have reached me, enquiring whether •it is possible to analyse a child's handwriting. Many mothers and fathers are, na; •turally, anxious to discover what tal- ents their child has; the hidden traits that are latent in his nature; the weaknesses, so that they may be curbed, and the strong points, which would repay encouragement. And I reply that it is possible. It is surprising how revealing even a ,young person's handwriting may be. ' The significant thing about the• .writing of children is the number of traits that are tentative. They have •not become actually habits or talents, but the symptoms are there. This is because a child has not had a chance to bring his talents and characteritics to full bloom. They !are in their infancy. But they are 'there just the same, I And a handwriting analysis will \often enable a parent to encourage his child along the right direction. But it is only possible to discover from handwriting what actually is in Ithat writing. I have before me, as I write, the Metter of a man of 50 years of age, tend there is absolutely no talent re- 1vealed. It is the writing of a man with no ambition, stereotyped, nega- 1 tive and disappointing ` And, side by side with this letter, tis another, this time from a boy of fourteen. He writos like an adult. • There is ambition and enthusiasm, energy and driving power, and there is musical appreciation and talent that leaves nothing to the imagina- tion. These instances explain just what Grapl'o-Analysis will do, It is a po- reserved. tent force that, acted upon, will very Often save .years of disappointment, Grapho-Analysis make no grandiose claims for the science. They freely admit that they are not clairvoyants. But a Grapho-Analyst can, and will, guide your steps along the path that gives your talents and character the fullest play. .. M.B., Toronto.— The reason for your bleak attacks of despondency lies within your emotional character. You are of an intense emotional na- ture, and are blown hither and yon, as your emotions dictate. There is no steady mental control to balance this emotionalism. You have a hard fight before you to control this feel- ing, but control it you must, or your life will be wrecked. I am writing you direct, with a suggested regimen for you to follow.

In the whole Domin- ion there are 10,678 miles of paved road and 81,233 miles of gravel road; Ontario has paved 5,621 miles and has 42,402 miles of graded gravel road, so that somewhat over half of each class is in our own province. There are still 18,520 miles of un- surfaced road distributed throughout the province, but with the continu- ance of the progress of the past few years smooth unworried travel to any part of the province may bo looked for within a relatively short space of time, To the greater comfort and conveni- ence of driving on improved roads, however, there must be added a fac- tor that is perhaps not visible to the average driver, viz., the greater econ- omy of operation of a motor vehicle. Extensive experiments by scientific bodies have established the fact that in operating a motor car on good -surface roads as compared with ordinary dirt roads there is a saving of something like 2 cents a mile. With 72 per cent. of the roads in the province in the improved class, the saving reaches al- most every individual owner. Definite figures with respect to horse-drawn vehicles are less easy to obtain, but the increased loading and the saving in wear and tear on wag- gons are factors that probably make the improved highway a much more profitable undertaking than in the case of the motor car. He was coming into town the other morning on a Pullman sleeper. It was about 7 o'clock, and the passengers were about ready to leave their berths. A baby in one of the berths began to cry lustily.

Her Mother—Sure, dear, he's al- ready educated to going down town for his breakfast. Latest. Findings Of Science The Amazing Termites Their Highly Efficient So- ciety Described In Scientists' Book "Termites and Termite Control," a report of a committee organized by the University of California and the wood -using industries and has just been published by the university of California Press. Although primarily intended for biologists, architects, en- gineers, building inspectors and users Loi wood, there are chapters here as fascinating as any novel of adventure Strange as it may seem in view of the depredations of one kind of ter- mite ($37,141,000 is their estimated annual cost) this is about the only vo- lume of its kind in print. Termites are not ants. They are more like cockroaches. In fact, ants are their deadly enemies, HABITAT OF TERMITES We usually associate termites with the tropics. They are common enough in the United States, ranging from the Gulf of Mexico to Michigan, and even further north. If we hear more of them than we used to—some of New York's buildings were eaten away by them recently—it is because of the advances of civilization and the greater use of wood. There are two major types of ter- mites. First we have the wood -dwel- ling species (some live in damp wood and some in dry) and secondly, the earth -dwellers, which do most of the damage in the United States. In a developed colony there are re- productives (a king, a queen and winged individuals called slates), soldiers and workers, not to mention nymphs or undeveloped insects in various stages. Unlike ants, each caste is made up of males and fe- males A colony is self-perpetuating. If the queen and king die, substitutes are developed from ordinary members of the colony. CONTROL OF POPULATION The king and queen found the col- ony. They do not reproduce too rapid- ly at first because they must car‘not only for the eggs but for the young. When the young are able to do the housekeeping, the queen Iays more rapidly. Both eggs and queenare then cared for by newly developed workers. Work means work in a termite col- ony. olony. Boling tunnels, caring for eggs and young nymphs, feeding a help- less queen and equally helpless nymphs and soldiers, keeping the galleries clean and in.repair, ventilat- ing every passage, regulating humi- dity—there is no end to the duties of the workers. The soldiers are even more spe- cialized than might be supposed. There are no cowards among them. In fact they are so constructed that retreat is sure to end in death. For the rear end of a soldier is soft and vulnerable. But the front end! A strong box -like structure which can plug up a runway against an invader and which usually has enormous jaws with an irresistible crunch and a rat- tle to give an alarm. It is because of his huge fighting head the soldier is so helpless in peace. A tank must be fed with gasoline. A soldier termite must be fed too. His fighting is con- fined largely to ants. Out of the head conies a poison. It is deadly. When the time comes for the re- productives to swarm in the nuptial flight, the workers open up the gal- leries. The slates press out and take flight in a cloud. Wings are shed, males and females (now kings and queens) pair off and seek new colony sites. Only a few survive the nuptial Some men seem to have succeeded at everything they've ever undertaken except making a living. He—"I feel like a better man every time I kiss you."

Puddles, birds, ants take their toil. Even those that enter some chosen crack in wood, bore a cell for themselves and seal it up with plaster, have a hard time in the first year. Those that do survive may live to the ripeness of fourteen years. PROTECTION FOR WOOD What makes the termites so de- structive is their liking for cellulose —wood. Especially wood invaded by fungi. The microscope reveals the protozoa in the digestive apparatus of termites breaking up wood in a form that can be digested. Without the protozoa termites would starve to death. All these facts about the ways of termites must be known if their de- predations are to be prevented. An architect must build with a knowledge of chemistry and of termite habits. But they are expensive. Wood is still the cheap building material par excel- lence. If it cannot be kept from con- tact with the ground it should be treated with some unpalatable com- pound.
