Then add two cans of beans, q table

Settling" Things Out of Court.

This morning woman carelesSly
stepped in front of a moving automo-
bile and was knocked over. She was
only slightly bruised. Upon regainlng
her feet she apoligized to the woman
driving the car that had bowled her
over and admitted her fault. The driver
of the car accepted the apology in good
form. and went her way. The bruised
woman took note of her license number.
MY surmise is that the driver OF the
car will hear further about the Incl
dent.
1t is unwise to take anything for
granted out of court. 1t is also unwise
to settle claims out Of court unless one
does SO in proper legal form.
In an incident such rs the above the
proper thing to do is to GET witnesses
to the WOman'S statement. or whoever
it may be, that she was at fault. 1t is
the experience of many to meet former
apologize people in court later, and be
informed that their alleged statements
were Pigments of ones imagination.
When in collision with another car,
or in an accident involving pedestrians
or passengers, always secure witnesses
of the accident. Later they will be
beyond reach. Few people like to spend
time freely in q courtroom. Often a
witness or two can substantiate ones
version of an affair In such way as
to strengthen ones case to good effect.
No matter how slight the accident may
seem, always report 1t to your insur~
ance company. Some policies require
this TO be effective. Set down the facts
at once II there is litigation your
suit may be weakened II your record
of the incident is incomplete or hazy
Where there is any injury claimed
insist upon calling either an ambulance
or a doctor. Either the ambulance sur
geon or the physician can give qualified
testimony later
These precautions and safeguards will
save one hundreds OF dollars in the
event OF an accident Year after year

EVERYDAY
PSYCHOLOGY.
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Reading People at Sight.


We all try to read the faces and In
terpret the actions of other people. We
even try it when we are walking alone
the streets, taking note OF passing
strangers.
The curious thing about this uni
versal practice is that it does not work
Most Of us are poor face readers. Al
the same time most of us are con-
ceited enough to think We are pretty
good at it," Somehow we fail to note
that in the vast majority Of cases a
second reading is somewhat different
from the first. the third from the sec
ond, the fourth from the third, and SC
on. Shakespeare said of this practice
There is no art to read the minds
construction in the face"
Suppose you were to meet, for the
first time. some dignitary OF whom you
have heard a great deal. Immediately
you begin to study his face. You make
allowances for this, that. end another
trait that does not square with your
scheme of reading faces. Gradually
you shift your position. Instead Of
reading something from his face, you
read something into his face. And
you do this all unconseiously.
And now what do you read into his
face? Exactly what you previously
had in mind about this man. All this
means that you size up people on the
basis of impressions you had before
you saw them. 1t is the way we all dc
it, Try 1t out and see what happens
to your scheme of reading faces.
What we suppose or what We imagine
about person is the basis for most oi
our conclusions about him. This will
apply to places as we'll as TO persons
You have probably visited some city
after having first heard lot about H.
Was not the city as you actually saw
it very different from your suppositiors
about It?

Physical Specifications

Dear Miss Leeds; Kindly tell me the

Answer-Since all girls of IS years
are not the same height nor the same
physical build, it would be foolish to say
that all should weigh SO much and
measure so much. Muscular types with
large bones are naturally heavier and
measure more than slender, small-boned
types do If you will write me again,
