Personality Adjustment
By a. Katharine Davis,
Readers Adviser in Sociology. Public Library

1t Is no exaggeration to say that
the majority of people want we'll
adjusted personality, and this doubt
less explains the hundreds of books
published for the layman on how to
achieve this goal. Because few of
these books mislead the reader by
picturing far too easy methods or by
presenting only half-truths, it is
helpful to know of some which ap-
proach the subject sanely, simply
and with honesty. Many OF these
may be found in the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, and its
branches.
One of the newest Is Winifred
Richmonds Making the Most of
Your Personality" Written espe-
cially for young people by a we'll
known psychiatrist. this book covers
subjects about which adolescents are
curious. The preface says that
many of the topics were selected by
boys and girls and that the manu-
script was read and criticized by
them. 1t is because of the authors
ktloWleQge OF WnaJ young people
want and need, and because of what
they themselves requested that
matters Of physiology, emotion, sex,
habits, motives and ideals, voca-
tions and human relationships are
discussed.
Another Richmond work, but one
intended for larger audience, is
Personality: It's Study and Hygi-
enc" The fundamental psychologi-
cal makeup of people Is described
first to provide an understanding
Of the normal before going on to tell
about personality Embellishments
and neuroses, and how these may be
treated.
Sadie Myers ShelloW's How to
Develop Your Personality" gives
concrete suggestions as to how per-
sonal characteristics may be modi-
fed and controlled. She does not
claim 1t is easy, but she outlines
steps to follow In redirecting the
growth of the personality, and

landed. 1t is the old story of all
efforts to coloniae-of dissens1on and
hardship and Illustration.
But Mr.. Harris has exhibited a
talent for this kind of work. Beyond
his thorough knowledge of history,
he is able to build characters. He
has also found reasonable perspec-
tive on the various elements involved
in the early battle for freedom that
has escaped most OF the textbook
historians. NORMAN KAHL.

she recommends sincerity, energy
and conscientious persistence" on
the part Of the reader If important
changes are to be effected. A
thorough examination of personality
traits provides the reader with a
basis for understanding himself
Samples Of current tests used to de-
termine intelligence, range of in
formation and the extent of intro
version or extroversion show what
means are available for acquiring
more exact knowledge of factors
which make up the personality.
AS was true of DR.. Shellow's
contribution, H, A. Overstreets
About Ourselves" promises no
simple solution to the problems of
existence. 1t does, however, try to
explain, through a review of what
psychological research has uncov-
cred about people, how life can be
immensely more alive, immensely
more interesting. powerful and vital
than 1t ordinarily is"
Still another aid in this search
Tor Well-ddJusted personality Is
Solving Personal Problems" by
Harrison 8. Elliott. It is intended
for both those who want to work
out the answers to their problems
themselves and the counselor who
is helping people to make these
life adjustments, Suggestions are
given of methods of handling the
ordinary difiiculties which every
day people meet, and the adviser
is given hints as to the proper
attitudes and skills he should cul-
tivate.
One of the big deterrents to per-
sonality adjustment seems to be the
habit OF worry. DR.. Matthew N.
Chappells I'm the Name of Com
mon Sense" presents specific meth
ods of dealing with this problem.
Unlike the success books which
claim to achieve miracles, this ac-
count of how to control worry Is
convincing through its logical, mat
ter-of-fact tone and its simplicity
of style.

ner's)
As a mistress Of singing satire,
Dawn Powell has few equals. She
has a peculiar knack for portrsying
disagreesble people without stirring
resentment, thus making them not
only interesting, but disturbingly
human. Her latest book Is a clev-
erly turned, unabashed commentary
on life today, and pungent portrait
of career woman. The lead char
acter is Amanda Keeler. one of those
woman -the-year" types with a
great gift for self exploitation.
Amanda knows exactly what she
wants in life-which is everything.
At 81, she has written fabulous
best seller, married one of the most
influential newspaper magnates in
America and now aims at becoming
a political figure with her husbands
prestige behind her. Amanda is as
ruthless as they come, and her ac-
tivities furnish the novel with it's
central theme of the hectic period
just before and during the early
stages of the war The coming of
the war doesn't hinder Amanda in
the least. She just adjusts her am
bitions to the times and rides the
worlds debacle as if it were her own
private yacht"
Although many important people
come to mind while reading "A Time
to Be Born" it would be unfair to
name them because Miss Powell
definitely states even before the
book begins that "all the characters
in this book are the invention Of the
author and have no living counter
parts" However, it's lots Of fun and
not at all difficult to spot COM
posite people who appear now and
then in the news.
The author is something of play
wright, having written a rather sue
cessful comedy some seasons back
called "Jig-Saw." This talent shows
to advantage in much slick, spar
king dialogue. The male characters
are not too we'll drawn. but the
women are such venomous creatures
that you hardly notice there are men
about. j. WILLIAM RUPPEL, Jr.
Navy Diver
By Gregor Felsen. fDuttonJ
Navy Diver" describes, in fast
moving story form, the operations of
the Navy's deep-sea divers in war
time. George Felsen has written
the book primarily for 'teen-age
boys, aiming to acquaint them with
this -publicized phase of our
Navy. His work has far more to
offer than the average adventure
story, however. 1t is inspiring a.
well as informative and we'll written.
Moreover, 1t is accurate, having
been checked by Navy authorize!
for authenticity.

Robert Montgomery Accepted
For Duty With Torpedo Boat
Applications Pour In
From Men Seeking
Cunul Zone Service
BY NAT A. BARROWS,

War Correspondent OF The Star and
CHICAGO Daily News
BALBOA. Canal Zone, March %
(Via AirmaiD BY the thousands
young officers and rated men of the
United States Navy are volunteer
ing for service with Americas newest
naval weapon, the deadly motor tor
pedo boat fleet. Applications from
ensigns fresh from Annapolis, from
young men just out OF other col
leges and from old-time petty OFF,
GERS arrive daily in patches here at
the 18th naval district, at Wash
ington, and to commanding officers
at sea.
The successful battle attacks Of
the patrol torpedo squadrons in the
Far East have captured the i'm
agination of Navy men. They are
willing to undergo the hardships Of
cramped quarters, OF long stretches
away from port. OF discomfort when
bouncing along at lightning speed.
They want action and excitement
and they know the PTS will give 1t
to them.
Robert Montgomery, late OF Holly
wood and now Reserve Junior
officer, Is one of those whose APP
plication has been accepted.
Aboard a PIT boat, Montgomery
would live even more informally
than aboard submarine. Much OF
the time, in this hot climate, he
would dress like the rest OF the men
in shorts and sneakers. He would
have a tiny cabin hardly large
enough for an extra suitcase. He
would eat and work and relax on the
closest terms with his eight COM
panions, all of them experienced
men and most OF them with de-
stroyer service behind them. There
are no frills in the PTS, but there is
plenty of real seagoing duty and
plenty of hard work.
II lucky. Montgomery would get
ashore a couple OF times month.
But, cruising of Panama as part
of the barrier around the canal, he
would have chance TO troll for the
game fish and to swim from the
superb beaches which abound all
through the American tropics.
Like the other PIT boat men oper-
ating here under 1t. Condr. Earl
S. Caldwell of Washington, he would
have TO find his own entertainment
when at sea. He would know what
1t means to discover a dog-eared old
magazine or to pick up radio pro-
gram through the tropical static.
And. above all. he would know
what it means to be aboard the fast
est, most deadly motorboats ever
used in warfare Like his P. T. ship
mate, he could be amused in remem-
bering how these same P. rs were
laughed at by some of the admiralS
a few years back, how their poten-
tialities as torpedo platforms against
large warships were discredited. how
President Roosevelt fought to have
them put into production.

in the Navy. What has been done
