STUNT THE FINGERS AND

Doctor Urges Men and Women To
Acquire Manual Skill To Stimu-

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Business men
and women should use their hands in
every possible way If they want TO
increase the quickness and adaptable
ity OF their brains. according to the
latest idea OF a well-known London
doctor. He says:
Tie knots, sew, do fretwork, learn
TO make some of your own clothes.
prepare and cook all your food, repair
your boots and shoes. dig and plant
your garden-in fact, do anything and
everything that calls for manual skill
IL you want to have an active. re-
sourceful and versatile brain.
THE business man whose work de-
ponds on a keen, quickly-working
brain must use his fingers constantly
IL he wants to have these assets in
full He must, speaking literally, turn
his hand to everything. and be cap
able OF constructing almost anything
with his fingers.
