Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

A good many men of flrst-rate scien-
tlf1c ability are beginning to say that
the season makes the man. OF course
they cannot be dogmatic about this
point, for climate is only one of the
thousands OF factors that enter into the
Sum-total of human surroundings. But
climate stands out; 1t is important
enough to qualify as factor worth con-
What do the seasonal psychologists
Cesare Lombroso C836-l909). the
great Italian criminologist, held that
the month in which a person was born
seemed to have something to do with
that persons temperament. The month
OF May, from his investigations, APP
peared to produce artists; the months
OF September and April coming in for
second and third honorS; the least IA
vorable birth months for artistic tenn
peraments were February, October and
December. LombroSo was of the opin-
Ion that the prevailing atmospheric
conditions at the time Of ones birth
determined the steps that the newborn
took as he started down the road of
life. These first steps tended to lead
him into certain paths. ending in fairly
practicable vocational aptitudes.
Is there anything to the Lombrosian
the work OF modern student, Charles
Kassel.
Kassel has been at work on the SUBJ
ject for several years. He finds that "a
per cent of all American geniuSes are
born in January. He names April, May
and February for second, third and
fourth positions as enius-producing
months. In the case of English geniuseS,
October, November and December take
rank in the order named. For other
countries we mention only the leading
months - France, January; Germany,
December; Italy, March.
Taking everything into consideration,
KaSsel says there is somthing in the
idea that the season of ones birth in
huences ones outlook upon life.
Psychology is science of by-products
and curioSities. At least, that's the way
1t got its start. That's the way 1t enters
upon any new subject for investigation.
After 1t has explained the curiosities, 1t
finds itself in the midst of common
place events. This is only another way
Of saying that everything is a curiosity
until the def hand Of science has re-
duced misunderstanding to understand

is still a Psychological curiosity.

Christmas has brought into almost

reason for the eye wrinkles appearing,

deal for close work or studying. Have
your eyes examined and find out If you
need to wear glasses. After the skin

wipe off the excess and leave little on

stimulate the skin and neck muscles
and thus help to prevent a double chin

However, when using it. it is best to use

rect posture when standing, sitting or
walking. Hold your chin up, chest ele-
