Science
Humans Divided Into Three
Psychic Groups.

HUMAN beings are divided into three
i i psychic types, on the basis Of
three of the four blood groups, by
Prof. Takeji Furukawa of the Toxic
Teachers College.
The first type is strong-willed, ener-
getic, unyielding and Self-confldent.
The second is shy, docile, impression
eble, reserved and worries a great deal.
The third is Ight-hearted, cheerful,
quick in reaction, but soon tired.
He finds some curious groupings
when this classification is applied to
the population of Toxic. Military stu
dents, for example, fall largely into the
second type, both in blood reaction and
behavior. Oh1cials of the military COL
lege told Prof. Furukawa that they
sought introverted students as the best
material for officers. This type also
included, as would have been expected.
the suicides. These were classified
from blood alone.
A majority of the criminals examined
fell In the third class It is the type,
Prof. Furukawa explains in the Journal
of Social Psychology, in which sense of
responsibility would be lowest. Teach
ers' college girls fell largely into the
first class. Higher education for women
in Japan, the expeimenter says, is new
and only girls of great will power and
energy are likely to undertake it.
The fourth blood group recognized by
Psychologists could not be correlated
with any definite personality traits.
Prof. Furukawa now is trying to estab-
liSh relations between blood, tempera-
ment and the chemical composition of
saliva and tears, which are believed to
differ among individuals T. R. H.

MANCHESTER. England, June 25
R).-Prompted, perhaps, by govern
mental nudgings, Britain's cotton tex
tile industry is plucking the mote out
OF its own eye.
Of all British industries it has been
the most violently kicked about by the
depression. In the last year its eX-
ports have been halved.
For nearly a decade Lancashire has
been the target of real and amateur
economists; its plight has been so
obvious.
It was easy to tell Lancashire what
1t was up against, but it was dimcult
to pull together an industry OF old
firms. guarded secrets and bitter COM
petition.
Lancashire was hard-headed at first
But it was just as tough when 1t set
out to find the facts.
Find Better Salesmanship.
It's economic missions, sent to in
vestigate vanished markets, didn't spare
any sore spots when they returned.
The trouble, they found. was lower
production costs and better salesman
ship by other nations.
But the industry knew where 1t was
at. Now it is turning its self-inspec-
ton inward. Not all the credit should
go to the industry. II it hadn't acted
the government probably would have.
The first step toward complete re-
organization Is under way.
Faced with a restricted market, per-
haps permanently, the industry is plan
ming to adjust its production capacity
to present and prospective demand.
There is more to this than mere
limiting of output It involves looping
OF surplus plants, particularly out-of-
date machinery.
It is said that machinery older than
use in Lancashire.
Expect Plan in July.
Longevity may be a tribute to Eng
lish machinery makers, comments the
Financial News, but sit rapidly becomes
an obstacle to reorganization and mod
ernization, particularly when the ma
ehinery is being used by sound and
old-establiShed concerns whose f1nan-
cial position keeps them alive through
long periods of crisis and still leaves
them in a position to undercut more
modern mills with more Scanty hnan-
cial resources"
At the moment the program Is only
at the QUESTIONABLE stage. but the in
formation as to plants and production
is expected to be gathered late this
month and some definite plan formu-
lated in July.
After that the committee viii tackle
the problems of closer and more ef-
fective cooperation between different
sections of the industry, better contact
between firms in each section, further
amalgamation of individual firms, wage
calculation and negotiation, methods of
distribution, Simplification and stand
ardization Of trade practices, applica-
ton of research results to production,
