FAT, MARRIED OR
HOT TEMPERED
MEN ARE HONEST
Security Company Head Puts
Chindmdn to Front as Most
Reliable in Finance.

NEW YORK. June 27.-If Diogenes
were still ,pnning around with a lantern
looking for an honest man, he would
find him among these classincstions:
Fat
Married
Or hot tempered.
This statement was made tod@ by ar
uthority-Willlam B. Joyce, president Of
the National Security Company, whose
business 1t is to insure mems honesty.
Joyce's concern furnishes bonds for
employees in positions Of trust and he
pointed out IF 1t were not for the fact
that most persons are inherently honest
We wouldn't continue our business"
Married men, because Of the respon-
sibility OF their families, are more hon
est than bachelors in the ratio Of about
six to one.
Fat men are naturally OF a more CON
tented disposition and are less liable
70 prey on society.
'Hot tempered men usually find an out
let for their harmful impulses in an
restrained language and rarely take what
doesn't belong to them"
As regards races, Joyce placed the
Chinese first in honesty. with Anglo
saxons next. Women, he said, apparently
are superior to men from the standpoint
Of honesty. seldom stealing unless
prompted by love or actual poverty.
