Personality Will Determine the Best
Vocation to Follow, Says Physician

In keeping civilization going, the
ntroverts-those persons whose in
terests are mostly personal-furnish
most of the ideas; the extraverts,
or socially minded people, turn the
wheels, Paul Popenoe declares in
his article "Extravert or Intro
vert?" in the November Hygeia.
Temperamental differences are of
vital Importance in vocational guild
ance, many a maladjustment Of
adult life being due to the fact that
an extravert is trying to do an in
trovert's job, or vice versa.
On the whole, extraverts natural
ly tend to succeed best in occupa-
tons that bring them into contact
with other people and that demand
aggressiveness, decision and action.
Introverts will be found predomi-
nantly in places where they can
work alone and in creative fields,
such as art, science and literature.
An extravert girl might fail as a
sculptor but succeed admirably as
q teacher of art to large groups of
people. An introvert who goes into
law win not be likely to win fame
as jury lawyer but will naturally
gravitate into Office work.
In the family, each plays differ
ent role, and each must be treated
accordingly. One is as good as the

other; but one is by no means the
same as the other. Successful par
enthood will take account of the
differences.
The extravert child will please
his parents by making good social
adjustment without any special
help; he will make good marks
without much effort, will take the
leadership in school activities, will
be popular with associates because
always ready with a joke or retort.
The introvert is usually the oppo-
site of all this. His interest and
attention are turned inward rather
than outward. He is more con-
cerned with his own thoughts than
with what is going on around him
outside. He will be modest, unas-

Clint pulled up beside the road, and
Inspector Heale saw their arrival
and came across to meet them.
"That you, Tope?" he asked
"Young Jervies with you? Where's
the girl?" He was peering into the
car.
Inspector Tope said: "Mrs. Tope

Clint here can tell you all there is
to tell"
Heale nodded. "You spotted the
fire, didn't you, Jervies?" he asked.
So Clint told his story, briefly,
the Inspector listening without in
terruption till the young man was
done. Then Inspector Heale began
to question him; and Tope left them
together and walked over toward
the fire. There were two or three

Then he saw Asa Taine, in the
shadows by the old barn, talking to
someone-Lissa Thayer.
Her countenance was in darkness,

one to another. "Why should any

APRONS THAT ADD JOY TO DUTIES

A couple of aprons that will pep up your kitchen duties all spring long! Isn't 1t nice to know that both come from one and the same pattern-Claire Tilden's figure-flat- tering design No. 633? Moreover, each dainty version can easily be stitched up for gifts and bazaar do- nations or for yourself-since step-by -step Sewing Guide explains every detail clearly and fully. Do notice the pretty nonsense of ric- rae or ruffle trimming. The be- ruffled version with U-shaped top is smart enough to adorn the tea time scene, while the braid finished style with square top and pointed hem has tailored chic suited tc morning hours. Remember--the straps are the type that stay in place at busiest moments!
 Pattern 633 is cut in sizes small medium and large. Small size apron with round neck, requires 2 IA yards 36 inch fabric and 2 1.2 yards ruffling; other version( 2 IA yards 36 inch fabric and Ia yard ric-rac.

In many cases, where elemen- tary grade children are concern ed, marks alone will not be the deciding factor in passing. Now adays, the subjects studied com prise only a fraction of the pu- pills rating. Such things as at- tention, social attitude, endeavor and application are taken into ac- count. They are averaged in" and usually they help.
 In short, what the child is, as well as what he knows, works either for or against him.
 However, in every step of edu- cation, marks do still count. But examinations today are more than marks: they are getting to be des- tiny itself.
 There is little cleavage today between manual labor, commerce and the professions. They not only overlap, but they depend each year more and more upon the diploma. A mark may be only mark at the time, but 1t lives to harry us in the future.
 Is 1t any wonder, then, that finals are the crucial points of ambition? Every student, young and old, has begun to realize the importance of marks. They are not the casual records they used to be, dropped in a desk drawer and forgotten. It is important, indeed, to pass"
 Back to Cramming My own opinion is that marks are often carried to excess. They are not always the criterion of either brains or ability. But, like money. they talk. They will continue to talk as long as the ex- aminee is alive.

There are just about two months between now and Easter. Wouldn't 1t be good idea to devote a little time each day from now until you are ready to do your Easter shop ping to getting your figure down to its Slim proportions of last fall after a summer of outdoor activity?
 Don't let the fashion news that the smartest skirts are full and flaring delude you into thinking that this means they'll conceal any extra poundage. The fullness in the majority of them starts below, not at the hipline. The prettiest spring clothes will hide no Jumps or bumps on hips or rolls at the waistline. It's up to every woman to eliminate figure defects instead of hoping to con- ceal them.
 Roll It Away
 To slenderize hips and thighs, the rolling exercise cannot be beaten. Roll from side to side twenty times c day the third and fourth tirnse . day the third and fourth weeks, fifty times day from then

Sender Of These Valentine Gifts Gets Hearty Welcome
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service. Staff Correspondent


 New York-St. Valentines Day has grown from an occasion when ardent swains sent anonymous greetings to their loves to one of general gift giving on the part of all and sundry. And smart designers and milliners are making the most of this fact. Their shelves are laden with foibles and knicknacks are sure to delight the feminine heart as flowers or candy.
 There are chic little headdresses galore-for sports as well as for evening. One particularly lovely model is nothing more than di- minutive wire skull cap festooned with bows of velvet in different colors. Any girl you know could wear this with any dinner dress sine happens to own.
 A Mantilla of pale peach lace has a topknot of ostrich tips. A wide (30 incheS), long 6 feet) scarf of black net has small velvet and silk boutonnieres of spring flowers sewn all over 1t. It's to be worn over the head or across the shoulders and it really is charming.
 You might tuck an evening snood of black net, sprinkled with gold or silver paillettes, into the box of traditional valentine flowers. Or send string of the new bubble beads. These are of thin, irridescent glass the size of golf balls and are strung on a heavy white cord to be tied at the back of the neck.
 Lovely for lapel, neckline or a blouse or the back of g. glove are porcelain flowers-dainty and de- licate and perfectly made in siinu- lation of real blossoms.
 Gloves are the gift de luxe, of course. You can't go wrong on plain white or black or beige pull-ons of doeskin or suede. And the new plat form gloves to match platform shoes are sure to please. The platforms are simply separate strips of suede set in on both sides of each finger Thus every finger has four seams instead of two. These may be in matching or contrasting shades With a navy suit and pink blouse, navy gloves with pink platforms are smart. Purple doeskin with citron yellow platforms are stun ming.
 To the corsage of violets you plan to send mother you might attach a quilted satin stocking box with a couple of pairs of stockings in it. Small versions of these boxes come in lovely pastel shades and hold htree pairs of hose.
 Among other gifts suitable for Valentines Day are: a luxurious white linen handkerchief, hand em- broidered in white musical notes; a gold chiffon evening kerchief with pale green satin apples appliqued across corners; a delicate white lace fichu which can be worn over the head or across shoulders; a bottle of fine perfume in a square red satin box with quilted lining and a topknot of velvet flowers in three shades of red.

RIBBONS FOR SPRING

Ribbons will be important in spring fashions. Dainty new dance frocks have full net skirts circled by hundreds of yards of shirred cord edge taffeta ribbon. Shoes, hats and bags to match are made of imported bayadere, cord edge taffeta and Roman stripe ribbons all clever accessories for the spic and span spring suit.
