Forget Bank Account, Says

What? Look at your young mans
business rating? NONSENSE! Look at
his head. Spend your time looking up
his habits? More nonsense. Look at
his nose. Worry about his bank &C.
count? Not at all. Worry about his
chin. il you like, but never about his
bank account, because II he has the
right sort of chin the bark account
will just naturally come and II his nose
Is the right shape so Is his family
tree. and II he Is "A roundhcad--well. il
he Is n roundhcad, grab him and wed
hin, on the spot.
This advice. says the Detroit News,
is given by DR.. Katherine NJ. II. Black
ford OF New York city, and she ought
to know, because she has been going
about with n tape measure and a note
book for years. measuring ears and
noses and heads, and then checking
MP characters, Bradstreet reports and
prison statistics,
She has got things to such Il fine
point that she can look at n man and
tell exactly what he will do in any
given circumstances. And she has a
Tip for the Hand Holders society that
ought to be worth fortunes. The
horny handed man isn't what poetry
says he is, He may be noble and n
pioneer and all that. but his heart Is
likely to be harder than the callous on
his palm, and he can't be made to
loosen up except with dynamite or n
threat of Jail.
Soft Hand, Soft. Hearted.
Or blackboard says the man with II
soft hand is also likely to have n soft
heart. and any girl knows what she
can do to "A soft heart. The only draw
bacl, is that the soft hearted man IN
likely to be nushy and wants to spend
his time in kissing when he should
bc hustling for the wherewithal to pay
/ the landlord. Dr. Blackboard says SCI
cncc has shown that the space In front
Of the ears is occupied by the brains
! that control the soul, the intellect and
! the cs,hctic things of life, while the
space behind the cars is filled with
/ animal instinct.
Working on this theory she explains
that the perfect man Is the one with
cars in tn" middlc--and that generally
means a round head. The flat head
means he probably will develop into Il
deacon and a leading citizen, but have
II leaning toward cnntankerousncss.
while If his head Is long ON top he Is
going to thirst for monkey dinners and
the privilege of sitting next to the

up from the eyebrows like eocoanut--

He's ornamental. true. but Instead OF

Some Detroit women doctors were
asked about the matter, but they
backed away In haste and said they

was right.
Found Exceptions at Once.
''Of course, criminal psychology. az

gone into the matter to 4 wonderful
