What Short Heads Lack

1t would take some more accurate
system of measurement than man has
Yet devised to measure head. and from
the measurements tell the exact degree
70 which person possessed each Of the
forty som" mental faculties which mani
fest themselves in th" Shap" Of he head
and the d"vclopmrnt Of the skull.
But it is quite possible to form a
broad estimate. considering the facul-
ties whose areas are close together in
groups, and this estimate NAV be based
upon even caSlNl observation.
If You will make it point to observe
YOU will note that the longhendedness
Of the long head lies principally back
Of the ears. For instance, nS You look
At head in profile. if III" distance from
the ear to the OutIin" Of the back Of
the head Is greater than usual. the
head is "long," and if the reverse is
the ease. II j. "ShOrt.'
These ar" the brain faculties which
are principally responsible for long
hendednrSE by their unusual deve!up-
ment. and for shOrth"HdedncSS by their
subnormal development.
The faculties Of parental and coniu-
ga! affection. friendship. affection for
familiar localities, III" power Of con-
centratiOn. and on the border line of
highhpadednesS, Of ambition and sof-
respect. these latter two being faculties
which make both for highhcadedness and
longheadcdn">s.
Hence the things in which the short
head is underd"veloped are the four af-
fections for offspring. mate. friends and
places. the power of concentration, and.
depending upon the particular shape of
the head. pride and ambition. II the
head is high as well as short, you may
count on normal pride or self respect
and ambition being present.

4 Woman Must Repeat Her Routine
Each Day Before Starting New Work
And That's Why She NeUer Finishes Some One IN an Office
Gets Through With Days Tasks and Begins
Fresh Next Day

| Next day you take II up from where
you left it the day before.
DI'T there's no taking up where YOU
| - left off in n house.
There Is always some work to make
nm before YOU can feel that you nave
started at all.
The routine has to be finished with,
no matter what else there is on hand.
and having caught up with that some
time about the middle Of the morning
or Just when you have to stop and cat
lunch. you are then ready for that
sewing or making over old furniture IN
the attractive way that you have seen
described in n magazine.
Even at bedtime there are Hover
boxes to be watcred. the left overs from
the evening meal to be put away in the
refrigerator and any number OF other
little things that mount up to a lot OF
work.
Yes. it's perfectly true that every
thing you do suggests something else TO
be done in housewOrk as well as IN
building a great machine.
WONDER what an inventor would
| l. do ii each day as u" TOOK w ms
work to carry the invention nearer its
finish he found the work that he mad
done the day before all bro ken up: o..
What progress would he make If
every day he had to build over again
the part he had worked on the day
before?
lie would make just about as much as
woman makes who is doing housework
and trying to make hcadway in some
thing else outside.
And it would take him some. five years
or so longer to reach perfection IN ms
finished product.
That's the reason they say that Man
must work from sun to sun, but wom-
an $ work is never DONE
All the routine she goes through In
one day must be repeated exactly the
next day before she can even think OF
starting anything fresh.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1922-08-04
"CvERYTHING you do" said the

0LNVERYTIIING you do said the
IL inventor. who was being inter-
viewed, Suggests something else to be
DONE
It's that way in n house. too.
And that's the reason "won.an's s work
is never done
Everything she does in her work about
the house suggests something else that
she must do before she does that other
thing.
She puts away the milk and butter
after breakfast, and that reminds her
that the iccman will bring his bill to-
morrow.
But she has to go to the bank to
draw out some money before she will
be able to pay him.
And she cant 20 out until she fixes
that bit of lace on her collar. which is
ripped. because the laundry won't come
until this afternoon. and this is the
only clean dress she has to 20 out In:
Then. having started out on her trip
to the bank. she decides that she may
as we'll go on to the market and get
that done early while the things are all
| fresh and nice instead of telcphoning her
order and taking what they choose to
send her.
| TELEPHONE - the telephone bill
She'll pay that. too. while She out.
Just about the time she has her err
rands finished pang of hunger warns
her that it is time. to think about
lunch.
And so II goes with n woman's work.
Everything she does is Just one step
ping stone across to another stepping
stone which may lead 10 another or to
something else that has TO be done.
In an Office you finish one bit Of
work which takes you up to another.
When they're finished they're out Of
the way--thcy're done.
They lead up to something. but when
you get there you've advanced.
And at closing time you put on your
hat and go home.
It's all over for another day: you close
IT up with your desk, and that's all
there IS to it.
