ly the same expression on the human
face even though they do not feel
in the least alike.
The reason Is that you use the same muscles,
when you raise your eyebrows In surprise, that
the sprinter uses when he is making his last
desperate effort to pull his dropping lids open
before utter weariness shuts them.
DR.. r. TAFT mckenzie, professor Of physical
education in the University of Pennsylvania,
has made special study of facial expression in
athletes. Because DIR. Mckenzie is also q
sculptor, he has learned the skillful tricks that
artists use to portray emotion on canvas and in
bronze and marble. 1t is all a matter of know
ing which muscles are called into play by diff
ferent feelings
These muscles which produce such striking
and extraordinary changes in expression differ
from the general muscular system in that they
have the power to move the skin in various
directions They are the remnants of the
great muscle sheets that the horse or COW uses
in Summer to flick the flies away
This relation between human facial muscles
and muscles of other animals appears in the
human expression of scorn, which, according to
DR.. Mckenzie, is a pale reflection of an
preston seen in lower animals. You will see
what he means If you watch snarling dog
bare his fangs as he walks stif-legged and
hristling toward his enemy" When a naughty
lady curls her lip in contempt and disdain, she
is merely making a poor attempt at what the
dog does, according to the sculptor physician.
THAT the mechanism of facial expression is
p more a matter Of muscles than feelings was
shown by an experiment of French scientist,
Douchez. He worked with patients who had no
sensations in the region of the face Yet he
could contract their muscles by electrical stimu-
lation and so produce various expressions. In
this way he saw just which muscles were re-
sponsible for each expression of the face.
For example, It Is a circular, purse string
muscle of the mouth that FUCKERS the lips for
whistling or kissing. The corrugator muscle
that wrinkles the forehead is the one that
produces the expression of pain It's French
name means muscle of pain.
No matter how different the emotions behind
them may be, weeping and fury are not far
apart. The chief difference between these ex-
pressions is in the fact that the eyes closed
in weeping but opened wide in fury.
Weeping and laughing, on the other hand,
both involve violent action of the respiration,
but the combination of muscles is slightly
different.
This is q sketch by Rubens which clearly
shows how laughter interferes with breathing.

nor did he appear at the theater the following evening. Sheila tried desperately to conceal tho hurt In her heart. Sho reproached herself for her foolishness, worked harder, made every effort to forget.
 The tour continued with good weeks and bad. The weeks stretch ed into months and still Sheila did not hear from Jerry. There was no way she could have heard from him because he would not know how to reach her.
 The company reached the mid dlewest, circled and headed toward New York again. Then the book ings were cut short and presently they were back there.

 'I'm resting" Sheila smiled. "Going to look around soon, though"
 "I didn't think you'd be inter- ested in this Job," Happy admitted. Just wanted to do Tommy a good turn.'
 Happy laughed a little bitterly nt this. Sure. If 1 get tho chance!'

Some cities are running classes In keeping up the morale of the unemployed.
 I know of no better way to help ones morale than a bit of good grooming.
 If you happen to be out of work. or have been cut NO low that at times you almost feel it would be better to have leisure for nothing a week. don't let yourself get slack in grooming.
 Never did you need tho relax Ing warm bath at night moro. Never did you need the cold morning shower with collaborating rubdown afterwards. Never did you need to brush your hair more carefully or fix 1t more painstak- ingly. And never was 1t so im- portant as now to get your make- up on just right and keep 1t in order.
 If beauticians ever let their zcal lend to exaggerated state- ments about tho actual health value to your skin such and such creams and lotions will bring, certainly they never can overestl- mate tho psychological effect such grooming has.

She has made fashion ''shorts" for the movies. modelled for exclusive houses and has been acclaimed as having a nearly perfect "GrecIan figure" You'd never believe she weighs 145.
 Individual Traits
 According to Miss Lucy Park, of the Fashion Coordination Bureau. one of the judges, a model has to possess individuality and have n certain quality in her personality that creates for those watching her the illusion of the occasion to which she would wear the given costume. Moreover, Miss Park feels that women always identify themselves with model who wears q gown they like. It takes a certain quality of personality on the part of the model to help wom- en do this.
 James Montgomery F'lagg. an- other judge, said: There are no perfect models--it's all a percent age. Beauty and youth. of course, come first. Femininity - dis like boyishness which includes tho figure. They should be full breasted and have beautiful hands. legs, arms. Their hair should bc somo decided color, not HAIR col. ored hair. l like honey colored hair, among others. or lion, or blue-black or dark red. Certainly NOT platinum that should call for pink eyes. Also they should have good skulls, beautifully bnl- anced features and expression vivid and striking. Also large mouths, fine teeth. long thick eyolashca and smooth, ivory skln--and tenn perament. ..." ySetaoishrdlup perament. :"
