WHY RIGHT HAND IS USED
Was Necessary in the Days When the
Heart Was Guarded by
the Left Arm.

The Pathfinder prints an interesting
theory of why we are right-handed.
Most persons are right-handed. Only
one in every twenty is left-handed.
Why are people right-handed? They
inny have been born that way, it's true,
but why? There's reason for most
things, If you can only puzzle II out.
Away back in the beginning the chief
occupation of man was fighting. In hat
tie he carried shield In one hand and
a weapon In the other. II was not much
work TO carry the shield, but the quick
action required by the hand and arm
which did the fighting soon developed
that arm. II also developed the nerves
and the half Of the brain that governed
the right side Of the body. Those who
shielded their left side-thus protect
ing the heart-were the ones who usu-
ally came out victorious. Down through
the ages this selection continued, the
right hand gradually becoming more
proficient.

Love is the most potent thing in the

Love-true love-is indestructible.
