ONLY TWO CHIEF TYPES
These Are Introverts and E1trovcrts Colgate University Expcrimcntcr Gives Results of 30,000 Hours of Study.

Hamilton, N. Y, Sept. 25 P)- Easy blushers make good lawyers diffident takers are apt to be good diemakers, while the man who fol lows sports in the daily papers may well be the ideal captain of indus try. So says an article in Indus trial Psychology" published here to- day.
 30,00O Hours of Study
 From S0.000 hours of experiment in the psychological laboratory of Colgate university. the author, also the magazines publisher, has evolved new system of guide-posts to en- ployment.
 Members Of the human family all appear as eXtroyCrtS or intro verts, with their capabilities sharp ly divided thereby, and their slight est moves, of face. voice or body the clues to classification.
 Introycrts and Extroyerts
 "Introverts," explains the author, "are characterized by their emo- tional outlets being expressed large ly within themselves, that Is their emotions are introverted.
 "The eXtroverts, in contrast, ex- press their emotional outlets in ac- ton, and in associating with others. They might be called men of action while the introverts are men of thought.
 This classification is not new" but the study of personality mani festations of the two groups is, and so is the application of a personal inventory" chart 10 personnel work in large industries.
 Is Being Tried Out
 By the system evolved, and now being tried in certain big companies, says the article, every employe is described by his immediate superior. Forty-one personality traits appear on the chart as valid indicators of the type. They include response to praise or blame, swittness of reac- ton, ease of speech. sense of hu- nor. interest in clothes, taste in reading, music and art, ability to make friends, and philosophical views held.
 All personalities are not sharply eXtrovcrts or introverts, many tend ing to both types, or ambi-version.
 Interesting Conclusions
  sions are among those to emerge from the study.
 office clerks are inclined towards  Foreman and executives whose 1. lutics require handling others are distinctly eXtroVerts.
 Inspectors accountants, and re- search engineers are in general in ! rovert.
 Tt would seem advisable to pro- note extrovert bench mechanics to bremen, and not merely the best says the article. "Inscc- ors, similarly, might best be se- 'urcd from introvert bench me haniCs."
 Introycrt Characteristics
 Characteristics of the introvert re listed 10 include: easy blushing, n out-spoken manner, tluencJ in yriting but not m speech, care in ressing, eating and other personal etails, a tendency 10 worry, a re- ponse to praise, "hibh-brow' tastes for fine delicate work, eX- reme conscientiousness.
 Characteristics of the extrovert in Jude: ready laughter, fluent speech, arefree disposition, no susceptibil- y to flattery, willingness to lend loncy. love of sports, scorn of the high brow" conservative views, and act.

Sec. Mellon FavOrs
Replenishing Liquor
Medicinal Stock

Washington, Nov. 22-(P)-Imme-
date steps must be taken to replen-
ish the medicinal liquor stock, Sec
rotary Mellon warned today. He al
so advocated that it be manufacture
ed in this country under the plan
outlined by Assistant Secretary An
drews, dry chief.
Taking issue with the view of
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, that there was
no necessity for worry over the med
icinal supply for several years, Mr..
Mellon emphasized that it would
require five years to age properly a
new supply. He estimated that there
was no more than a five year supply
on hand.
Likewise, Mr.. Mellon has no SYM
pathy for the proposals to import
whiskey from abroad to meet do
nestle requirements. He believes it
will be easier to assure pure supply
of uiquor and to prevent diversions
If the whiskey is manufactured here
rather than imported.
While the financing details of Gen.
Andrews plan to organize a private
corporation under federal supervi-
sion, to manufacture medicinal liz
uor and take over all existing sup
plies remain undetermined, Mr..
Mellon hopes this program can be
put into effect without government
assistance. He Is prepared. however,
to seek temporary financial aid from
the government.

refused to testify about the Staying

moned to testify for the defense.
He refused. however, to admit that
he was in solitary confinement on May

near the tier of solitary cells, and de-
clined to say whether he saw or heard
anything from his cell on the day of

1T is contrary to the ethics of the
prison for me to answer such a ques-

The judge excused him and he went
back to his prison cell without giving
any aid to his fellow prisoners who
were reported to have offered him his
freedom when they fed and to have
been rebuffed by him.
