PICARD VISIT STIRS INTEREST
IN NLEFT-HANDEDNESS OF TWINS
Brother Has Theory That Characteristic
in Single Child May Mean Other
Half Died Before Birth.

1--WE may therefore either assume
that there are two entirely different
kinds Of left-handedness with two en-
tirely different causes, or that all the
left-handed people are-originally-
twins The other twin may have died
in infancy or may have been still-born.
"In the latter case the mother will
often not even have knowledge of the
fact that she ought to have had twins.
We haveevidence, however, that in
many more cases the twin has died
during the earliest stages of his am
bryonic life.
Identities Confused.
"The resemblance Of my brother and
.Ayself Is only one case Of many. 1t Is
such that during our whole school time
there was only one teacher who could
distinguish us. The resemblance is now
considerably less pronounced, but even
now frequently one of us is taken for
the other.
"At the Atlantic City meeting I met
European professor whom l had a
hard time to convince that I was not
the Prof. Picard whom he had met
last year in Brussels.
my brother is left-handed, but he
has acquired a complet ambidexterity.
forcing left-handed child to use his
right hand instead of his left. 1t may
produce serious trouble like suffering
and confusing right and left in read
ing Such people will read pots for
spot and SO on.
When, however, the instruction to
use the right hand is given very early
in childhood and If it is given without
severity, but with kind persistency, then
such trouble need not develop. No such
difficulties have been met by my brother,
nor with two of my boys who were born
left-handed.
"The phenomenon of twins and left
handedness bears problems, the solu-
ton of which has important poSsibili-
ties. The early discovery of left-hand-
edness IS Of prime importance. Fortu-
nately the direction of the spiral Of
the hair at the back of the head is a
good indication of the handedness OF
any human being.
Fright people have their hair
turn clockwise, left-handed people have
it turn counter clockwise"

The recent storm laid large areas OF corn

affection, and when I return from this

genuine.

driving spray spreading on her fur. They

the hour of disaster. That will be argu-
