THE CAUSE OF THE BLUSH
A Physician in the Continental Edi-
tinr of the London Mail

A Physician IN the ContlnenIal Eol-
ton of the London Mail
Blushing is the most peculiar and
the most human of all expressions
and it is adherent in some people
and not in others, for the tendency
to blushing certainly runs in fami-
lies.
Unlike the expression of other
emotions, which may be caused by
physical means, we cannot cause
blush by any action of the body-it
is the mind which must be affecaed
Blushing is not only involuntary, but
also the wish to restrain it, by lead
ing to self-attention, actually in
creases the tendency to blush.
1t has been said that blushing is
acquired as an ornament, in support
of which theory the argument is put
forward that a slight blush adds to
the beauty of woman's face. Incl
dentally it is on record that women
candidates for the harem of the sui
tan who are capable of blushing in
variably fetch a higher price.
But the true cause of this strange
expression is the intimate relation
ship between the sensory nerves Of
the face and the minute capillaries
whose supply of blood is regulated
by these nerves. Thus anything
which directs attention, perhaps on
ly indirectly, to the face puts into
action it's sensitive nerve supply and
thus excites the facial capillaries to
relax and fill with blood.
This primary cause of blushing has
by a process of years come to bring
about a blush when, there is no sus-
picion as to anything about the face
itself, but merely the suggestion OF
some general depreciation or cr7tl-
cism. It is easy therefore to under
stand the blushing of the blind, and
why younger people are affected
more than old, and also why the op-
posite sexes excite each others
bushes.
It will also be understood why, be-
cause of this control Of the capil-
laries of the face by it's sensory
nerves, shyness is the most powerful
cause of blushing, for shyness re-
lates to the presence and opinion
of others, and the shy are always
more or less self-conscious.
From the intimate sympathy which
exists between the circulation of the
surface of the head and the brain
whenever there is intense blushing
there is always some, and often very|
great confusion of the mind Also
This is frequently accompanied by
awkward movements and by invol-.,
untary twitchings of certain mus
cles.
Blushing, then, is an indirect re-
suit of attention, originally directed
to personal appearance-that is, to
the surface of the body and espe-
cially to the face-and on account
of this the gestures associated with
blushing throuhgout the world haye
distinct meanings.
The efforts to hide the face, to
turn it to one side or to ground, the
averting of the gaze-all these
things are but associated habits.
It should, however, be comfort
to victims of this awkward afflicion
to know that they are merely suf-
fering from an inheritance handed
down from all time, for even when
man aboriginally went naked he
blushed, not only on the face but all
over his body, and that too, from
the very causes from which men and
women blush today.

HOW TO RAISE
MONEY


A. a general rule il Is bad business
to borrow money However, when
a man needs money he might better
borrow on his assets than sell them.
In fact. that il just what a business
man does when he needs money. He
goes to the bank and pledges his
properties or whatever Of value he
may havc a. collateral for loan.
Then he pays back the loan a. soon
as he can in order to obtain fu'l
control Of his assets again.
Apparently. there are thousana- of

Transaction. Having bought Liberty
Bonds and later having real or fanci-
ed need Of money. they sold their

other security. You will find II no
trouble at all. With Liberty Bonds
In your pocket you won't have TO
submit to any investigation Of your
affairs
Having borrowed the money, the
urge will be to pay it back. Many
banks permit you TO cancel such a
loan by installment payments When
you have paid up the loan you viii
get your bonds back with the inter-
est cupons attached. In other words
you will have met your obligations
and st''l have your assets intact

1t is possible that when we pass on
to our ultimate rewards our children
may inherit a better world than the
one in which we are living today.
The experiences in which we are
passing may imbue US with know
ledge and furnish US with the wisdom
to apply il for the good Of posterity.
Having fallen into the pitfalls Of
life ourselves, we may have the re-
sourcefulness TO teach our children
to avoid them. A man never picks

appointment. Before any great re-
