READ YOUR CHARACTER

The Hand of Tyranny

Many a tyrannical man is softspok-
en-at first. You can't always Judge
people by their words And when you're
busy Selling yourself to prospective
boss, he may be just as busy trying to
make y1a believe he's fine fellow to
work for. The tyranny, if it's present in
his character, viii crop out later in some
crisis, or when he feels you're welded
to your job.
But how can you spot tyrannical man
when he's got his best foot forward? Not
by the foot But by his hand
The tyrannical hand is really an ex-
aegeration OF the square hand. Broad al
the base. 1t is Of fir mtexture. The fin
gers are well developed and long, being
blunt, flat and broad at the ends. 1t Is
these very flat broad fingertips that re
veal the tyrannical tendency in a man.
The tendepcy itself is not necessarily a
malicious one. 1t is the logical result of
overdegeloped energy, activity and impa-
tienee
People with these hands are fnnda-
mentally the same as those with sllIars
hands, but in the mare exaggerated al
| of the characteristics of acti, ity, figh
and domination which are to be found il
| the square-handed ones In pursuits O
activity they find better outlet for Ties,
| tendencies, and hence are less likely t.
become undQly eomineering.

THRIFT WEEK.

It doesn't make any difference what
is thought about the respective days and
weeks that are set aside throughout the
year for the accumulation Of certain
movements and the promotion of certain
projects, or the value Of such an effort,
there cannot fail TO be appreciated the
need Of a general participation in the
advancement of the merits Of Thrift
week.
National Thrift week is TO be observed
commencing today and ths cause is one
that Should make q stronger appeal than
ever from eesan to ocean, and bordsr
to border. Everyone is familiar with
the many slogans which have 20 do with
such a movement, but it isn't familiarity
with them but the practice II thsn that
accomplishes the punpeze,
There are great many OF the people
of the nation who need ne advice in re-
garS to thrift. There are serns who can
be easily classad as too thrifty. Their
thrift gets out Of hounds In their way
of practicing It quite as much as IT does
in the case of those who fail to give It
sufficient serious attentien.
The value OF putting aside part Of the
earnings for a, rainy day ought not to
be ignored and yet the thrifsy person is
not solely the one who saved. Thrift
can be well displayed in the wise expen-
diture Of money, and through such use
there will be provided portion fer saw
ing.
And saviag doesn't mean putting the
pennies and the dollars sway in an old
sugar bowl, under the carpet, the bed
or in bureau drawer. There should
be a systematic methcd Of placing tbs
savings in the bank or investing them ir
government securities. Many person
has a bank account today because the
merits of just such a policy have beer
recognized and followed. It is mis-
taken idea to think that every cent thai
is earned should be spept. 1t may make
you a good fellow while your money
lasts but it makes no Preyisen for thu
future and 1T is the future which canno
be safely ignored. Likewise the lesson!
of Thrift week are net intended solely
for seven days, but for each day in tn,
year.

PUBLIC HEALTH IN PHILIPPINES
