Observe that in reading these heads there is a natural pause that comes at the end of the line. The same principle may govern the writing of three-line heads, as,
ONE GIRL'S ACT
PREVENTS 60,000

WAYNE MEN WANT
CANAL TO CONNECT
CITY WITH DETROIT
In the head just written observe that the first line has fewer letters because it contains two W's and an M. Either an M or a W is equal to a letter and a half, and an I and a space are each equal to half a letter. The first line contains 14½ units; the second line contains 15 units; the third line contains 15 units. And yet the first line contains 14 letters and spaces, the second 16, and the third 17.
Every deck should contain a verb, expressed or implied. In this head,
THIEVES BUSY

the verb are is understood.
