Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
Selling the Down. Stroke "b"

Again you have an inquiry from a
prospective customer. This time the
handwriting is characterized by that
type of "b' and "a in which the stem
of the letter Is made. not in the con-
ventional fashion with loop. but with
single dow,t, stroke.
Now, aside from any information
which may be cleaned from the wording
of the letter, can you tell your salesman
anything that will help him when he
calls unon this prospect TO explain your
proposition:
You can. merely from the way in
which the "b" and the I'd" are formed.
This prospect is one who has what
we speak of loosely and in a general
way as character. Whether a man
or a woman, the salesman will not
find this prospect the kind who is
easily influenced by the will power or
fOrcefulness Of another. This prospect
will not sign the order merely huse
che salesman urges II.
1t is case in which the salesman
will have 20 present his story clearly
and logically. N practical way. ex-
planning its constructiv" advantages.
and then allow the prospect to make his
or her decision on the strength of it.
The right time may be taken TO suggest
the decision. but it will do more harm,
than good TO try actually to force that
decision. particularly to, force it pre-.
maturely.

Can You Tell?
What Memory Is

Memory is the conscious representa-
ton of a past experience. When we
say Il person has good memory we
mean that such person is able to re.
call past events or impressions received
by his brain. fully and accurately. 1t
is said that every experience and i'm.
preston we receive, and our under.
standing of every event we take part
in or witness. is recorded in the brain
storehousc called memory. that none of
it is absolutely lost. and that certain
combinations of new circumstances will
tring any or all of these impressions
back TO our consciousness again. Many
Of the impressions arc never recalled.
but the ease with which we do remember
things when the right combination of
circumstances is presented to suggest
the former impressions Is proof that all
of them are recorded in the brain and
might be brought to the surface again
under just the right circumstances.
1t is said that there is no form of
animal life that dces not possess the
power OF memory, more or less dcvel-
cped. The power of many animals in
this direction. especially the elephant.
tn" dog and the horse. is well known.

tion. It is difficult to determine this.
The question as TO how old q baby IS.

las not yet been solved If and when
we are able /" answer that, We shall
probably also bc able to say whether
memory of our life here stops at death,
which is. of course. the greatest 1ucs-
ton Of all.
