q quarter Oh such quackery. No
one can read the bumps on your
head and leaIn ANYTHING about you
But do you know that if you had
lived a hundred years ago, instead
Of TODAY. you would have believed
you could learn things about your
self by having your head read
Incredible is it seems now. some
- the most brilliant men in Amer
Ica a century ago believed in phren-
o'ogy. A "phrenology craze" swept
the country at that time. Stores
demanded that clerks applying for
jobs should have their heads read
before they would even be con-
sidered for a positionl People act
ually lost jobs because they didn't
lave the right kind of bumps.
The Professors" had drawings
o. the head painted on great can
vas sheets, the head marked off in
sections showing exactly where
certain abilities were located.
Some of the fancy names applied
to the bumps are: Philoprogeni-
tjveness. Amativeness. Veneration.
The Professors actually pointed to
bump on your head labeled Phil
oprogcnitiyeness' and said that if
you didn't have it you wouldn't
get ahead in the world!
A man named Fowler wrote a
book called "Phrenology Proved
Illustrated and Applied This alb
surd book was a best seller. Six
ty editions of it poured from the
press.
Surprisingly enough important
outstanding people of the day be-
lieved in bump reading. One of
them was Henry Ward Beecher.
the most famous preacher of his
day. He believed in it earnestly
and sincerely and actually scold-
ed the girl he was going to marry
for WEARING ringlets hiding the
conformation of her head. "A veil
shaped head is far more beautiful
than a tassle of curls," he said
So ardent was his faith that he
made her brush her curls out and
wear her hair drawn tight about
her head.
Horace Mann, perhaps the most
famous educator ever born in A
merica. was converted to phreno-
logy, and wrote articles praising
the wonderful discovery The IA
nous Horace Go West Young
Man" Greeley was converted. and
lauded it in editorials. Walt Whit
man, the poet, wrote poem prais-
ing this marvellous discovery
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Americas
best known philosopher, declared
the inventor of phrenology one of
the finest minds the world had
producedl Yes, actually
Don't waste your time or money
or such fol-derol. Even the best
trained vocational consultants of
today have to study you for hours
to get a hint of what you are best
adapted for.
I asked Robert Happock. an
authority on vocational guidance,
TO give me the name of a reliable
book on vocational guidance that
I could recommend in this col
umn. He suggested How to Find
the Right Vocation bu H. d.
I.itson. You may be able to find
it at your public library.

Demands For
Labor Grow
In This Area

Increasing demand for labor in
this city and section was seen in an
nouncement today by j. S. Guide,
manager of the Henderson office of
the North Carolina State Employ
ment Service, that twenty persons
were placed in private employment
last week. This did not include the
large number of men furnished on
the construction of the citys new
sewerage disposal plant, the new
State Prison camp. or any OF the
several highway construction pro-
jects under way.
Activity just now is the greatest
since the close of the tobacco season,
Mr.. Guide said. The Henderson Of
flee serves Granville, Vance and
Warren counties.
Placements last week represented
a variety of jobs, including a meat
cutter, service station attendant,
seamstress, maids, statesmen, cooks,
farm hands, carpenters, practical
nurses, yard workers and construc
ton laborers.
The manager said he had calls for
three skilled concrete finishers on
local jobs at SIS cents an hour, and
asked that any one interested call at
once at the employment office.

Negroes Of
County Plan
Work
Special Attention Will
Be Given tuberculosis
Problem; Program for
April Is Outlined
By EDWIN ID. JOHNSON

The Negro Schoolmaster's Club
composed of principals OF the col
ored schools of Vance county and
Henderson are sponsoring the OBJ
servance of Negro Health Week" :"
The National Negro Health Week IS
usually observed during the first
week in April The local unit plans
to extend the campaign through the
month of April. A fund to be dis
pensed by the county health office
will be raised. All needy families
where there is tuberculosis will be
supplied with milk and cod liver
OIL The peak Of this campaign will
be reached April %, at a mass meet
ing ut Henderson Institute.
The recent survey Of tuberculosis
among the Negroes of Vance county
and Henderson has given rise to an
acute problem Very few active
cases of the, disease were found, but
little above the average amount of
infections from tubercle bacilli were
found. The ramifications of these
infections are hard to calculate
The late Booker T. Washington
saw the need for health education
among the Negroes of Alabama, and
set aside week for its observance.
The idea has now been adopted by
the country at large. An attempt
will be made to carry an evangeli-
cal message of health to every part
Of the city and county. Through
pulpits, clubs and other organiza-
tions this topic will be discussed
The third Sunday in April ministers
will preach from their pulpits on
health with special reference to tub
erculOSis. Programs in the schools
will be given with special attention
to simple rules of health and per-
sonal hygiene.
The mass meeting in Henderson
Institute Sunday, April %, will be in
the form Of a symposium on tuber-
culosis. Several local physicians
will take part. Music will be fur
nished by local glee clubs of Hen
derson Institute, Central colored
school, and the mems glee club of
Shiloh Baptist church. Every or
ganization in the county will be
asked to send representative to
this meeting
Colored workers on the recrea-
IlOu project Will conduct the clean
up drive. Citizens are being urged
to clean yards and destroy all rub
blsh. The Recreational Council for
Negroes is sponsoring a "clean
block" campaign Some special
mention will be- made of the colored
community having the cleanest
block
The fund to be raised is in the
hands of a special committee. The
goal $500 Nurse Brown of the
health department will be in active
charge of funds.e DR.. Gregg has con-
sented to act as administrator. Tags
will be sold and donations solicited.
