BRAINS ARE ONLY AUXILIARY
Most Wonderful Part Of the Mind
Is In the Hands and
Fingers.

Most folk think Of the mind vague
ly as something which is going on in
the top of our heads-in the brain.
But in reality this Is only very small
part of 1t, the Delineator observes.
A very wonderful part Of our minds
is in our hands and fingers. There is
the highest development Of the sense
of touch-the primitive and most fun
damental sense Of all. And still anoth-,
er part is literally in our feet.
We owe great deal of our intelli-
gence to the fact that we have hands.
This is very old story. But we owe
almost as much to the fact that we
have feet so shaped that we stand
erect
1t is mostly this that distinguishes
US from the higher monkeys-the
chimpanzee and ourang.
Most of what we do with our hands
and with our feet is done more or less
unconsciously, as when we write let
ter or play the piano or do waltz.
These operations are mostly directed
by the parts of our minds which liter
ally lie in the hands and the feet-in
the muscles and the little knots Of
nerves that lie between the finger tips
and the toe tips and the central trunk
in the spine. For most Of these opera
lions the brain itself Is merely kind
of an onlooker.
