Everyday Psychology
Rapid Writing.
BY DIR. JESSE W. gPRowLg.

PA0 Winning
If you want g get down to the facts
about a living personality, study his
handwriting under pressure for time.
Hurriedly written messages are often
full of meaning. But how are you to
know when one has written hurriedly?
When a person writes hurriedly, he
writes with heavy strokes, and the first
part OF word is always more legible
than the last part. If he is a habitual
slant writer, the slant increases. The
t-bars extend far to the right. The pc
RODS look like commas. The is are
dotted too far to the right. The lines
tend to slant upward, and the left
hand margin keeps getting wider.
There Is a tendency to crowd a lot of
writing at the bottom of the page in
stead of taking, time to turn it. There
is also tendency to change the style
If the message is long one. This
means that early habits as well as
their later notifications are cropping
UP. And when they crop out, it means
that your subject is exposing an un-
usually large section of himself in try
ing to express what ne has in mind.
Rapid writing reveals ones true ma
ture because 1t brings out ones natu-
raj gestures. Ones personality is scat
tered all over the page. The conpli-
Gated rules of graphology can be ap-
piled to such writing with great success.
To all this you should add a study
of the writer's statements. What one
says under pressure is just as irnpor-
tant as the form of ones expression in
script. Every one tends to exaggerate,
to philoSophize, to pronounce settled
convictions, when he writes hurriedly.

soak the material in cold water

When you make chicken soup

lNTARION'S ex-sheriff, ham
A'A handed Jacob Campbell, in
Office when the 1880 lynching oc-
Cured, is playing a willy game to
wrest the postmastership there from
his mentor, tie-less John A. Jones,
but the probability is that he won't
make the grade.
And the very obstacle in his path
is that lynching Of two Negro
youths.
The problem of making a selec-
ton at Marion, together with allay-
ing the discomfort in Terre Haute
over the postof1ce vacancy there, is
trying the suavity and the acknowI-
edged stalling ability Of the senior
senator, James Eli Watson.
Jones, who held the post two
terms, has been one Of the most
picturesque figures in Indiana coun-
ty politics. He has had an uncanny
ability to pick the right wagon upon
which to climb each time and, be-
fore anyone knew about it, he was
handling the reins.
The story Of how he became post
master is in itself an indication of
the "Old FoX's" astuteness.
Jones was unable to pass the eX-
animation for postmaster, even as
today, and he knew that his being
placed on the eligible list was prac-
tically out of the question. So he
induced w. D. Moss, fence sales
man de luxe and his henchman, to
take the examination and get the
appointment. Less than a year
after assuming the job, Moss an
nounced his resignation because, 'I
can't stand inside work" and Jones
got the appointment to fill the va
cancy.
He has held on since, fighting to
a standstill all efforts to unseat him.
Meanwhile. Jones made Campbell
sheriff and later county chairman
So strong was the opposition to
Campbell's retention of the chair
manship after the lynching affair
that the C. o. P. state committee
was besieged by both white and
Negro politicians, demanding that |
Campbell be ousted because it would
injure the party standing with
Negro votes.
But with the support of Jones,
Jake held on.
Several months ago Watson an

for appointment any one the county
organization would indorse.

But Jake holds the whip hand as
long as he refuses to sign the in
dorsement.
However, the ex-sheriff had for
gotten to reckon with Jones, who is
determined that if he won't be re-
neither shall Jake have
the gravy job.
Watson however, is not stalemat-
ed. He is expected to order a civil
service examination and this should |
eliminate the two leading contend
ers and pave the way for appoint
ment of Victor G. Walmer, Legion
post commander and prominent in
circles at Marion.
