For several years he has carried on

Evans was really a very bright boy.

so far he has not gotten hold of any-

And yet George was familiar with
the town and with the conditions of
living. He knew where there were
jobs and yet he did not seem to have
an idea of how to get one. I got him
into a place and the man for whom he

Physicians, or allenists, allow their
own feelings to influence pronounce-

governor, but. physiological records,
once acquired under the law which he
desires, would be for authentic use
whenever the individual examined
came Into later contact with the law.
As an example of Inaccuracy In de-
scribing character, the governor de-
clared that citizens from a Georgia
county gave positive and reliable testi-
mony that a certain man could not
have committed a series of criminal
attacks in Atlanta. Yet four women
positively identified him as thelr at-
tacker, and It was necessary to allow
the electric chair to take Its victim.
The man had already been convicted.
“An examination of his physical
characteristics by one who knew how
to interpret would prevent any doubt
about his possession or lack of crim-
inal tendencles,” Governor Hardman
sald.

out on my terrace for a returning view
of my front lawn, which somebody

like stalks of asparagus. Two rear

Skyscrapers are the outgrowth of

human beings In their outward growth.
The last thing we see of a human be-

is the skeleton, which is the first
thing we see of a skyscraper. Gaunt
and empty, they rear themselves
against the sky, always, until they at.

eral stories ahead of their epidermis,
