Handwriting
What It May Reveal.
R~-kss-.z~-4 -es~
@kAL~cAO any,

TIME writer OF this fragment ap-
parently gives us an excellent
clue to herself in the manner Of
J. writing words disjointed1y. The
''y" and 3D." standing distinctly
apart, are illustrations. We should be-
lieVe the writer to be uniquely fitted for
either Of two interesting vocations. She
would probably be successful in the line
of work finally chosen from these two
for which she seems so well adapted.
She apparently reveals the Sossi-
bility of great success in the operation
OF gift shop. Her love Of the strange
and unusual In trinkets and curios
would enable her to satisfy particu-
larly profitable clientele. Seemingly,
she would enjoy this type of work.
We should also expect to find her
capable of success In conducting q
travel bureau. Here her apparent ahil-
ity to inspire confidence and trust would
help in convincing strangers that her
recommendation could be relied upon.
The personal contacts in this, work she
would find Of great interest.
Although arousing confidence in
others, she possibly at times suffers
ties. This inferiority complex is ap-
parently not acutely developed and
should disappear with the betterment
Of her health. A period Of relaxation
each day, accompanied by more time
spent out Of doors, will work wonders
In restoring her feeling Of self-reliance
at all times.
She should avoid getting hurt easily
by her friends and relatives. This can
and acts less seriously. Could she real
lie that 1t is usually difficult for close
associates to show an appreciation of
true worth, she will be less irritated by
their seeming indifference.

! Avoiding Tiresome Methods


remember that one woman who was
rather frail and had to spare herself
IN her work once said size thought
walking slowly was as tiresome as walk
ing fast, as you had to be on your feet
SO much longer. So this scores one
point in favor Of rapidity In active
tasks. It is when quickness Is coupled
with pressure to get things done within
Q short time that fatlguing element
enters in.
Even the tasks which are done sit
ting down. II performed under pressure
of limited time, become Wearying. 1t
Is when they are done with reasonable
leisureliness that they become q pleas
ant change from strenuous active tasks.
1t is mistake to allow ene's self to
get into the habit of slow work, which
Is SO time consuming that little oppor-
tunity is afforded for actual relaxation
and the pursuit of pleasure.

It comes to making the most of ones

tween these two ways, fortunately,
which is Less wearisome than either.
Avoid the feeling of pressure when
performing household tasks If you would
go through the routine with least
fatigue. The exercise of houseWork,
while it does take ones energies, is
good for the health. just as any de-
veloping muscular exercise. But, like
the latter, 1t must not be overdone.
Fortunately, there are so many differ
ent kinds of work in the running of
a house that opportunity Is afforded
for sitting down tasks as well as those
which keep one on her feet.
The tasks which must be done stand
ing up or walking around, such as
making beds, busting, sweeping or run
ming vacuum cleaner, etc, may well
be done as fast rs possible, without
rushing, so that less strenuous sitting
down tasks can relieve tired feet. ]

DRIVER ALLEGES
FALSE ARREST
Staff Photo

John o. Raymond, son of a
Miami millionaire, was held on a
charge of speeding and reckless
driving by Hyattsville police last
night because, he alleges, his car
happened to be following that of
a rum runner.
Raymond was incensed when he
was made to deposit $3.50 collat-
eral. He remained in jail four
hours before he would pay the
amount, insisting three was no ba-
sis for the reckless driving charge
and that the collateral demanded
was extortionate.
He is considering preferring
charges against the arresting po-
licemen-Constable H. Slater and
R. w. Brown-who opened his
suitcaseS, searched his car, and
probed into other packages.
No contraband was found, but
the police said he was suspected of
implication in the transportation
of liquor, the car just ahead of his
having been caught with a cargo
of whisky.
Downey was enroute to Miami
from his summer home at Sum-
