house ought to sit on a hill and overlook a
vast view.
In contrast Mesomorphs are the physically
active and the aggressive type; dynamos of
action and energy They are forceful in ex-
precision and are conscious Of their fine bodies
which they like to exhibit in swimming shorts
or less on the beaches.
Often the Mesomorph is an exercise, fresh
air and physical culture addict. Relatively, he
is immune to fatigue. That is why he makes
a good athlete-or soldier. He walks as
sertively. talks noisily and reaches physical
maturity early in life
Mesomorphs, as type, are concerned with
realities and the present. They are extroverts
and meet their problems by direct action.
AS fine athletes they like the rougher sports.

pilot is of this type. Ectomorphs are frail-
boned. slender and linear in shape. Their
digestive system is small. They have the
largest brains in proportion to total body

Katherine Hepburn and Greta Carlo, from
their pictures would both seem to typify
the Ectomorph type in women while Gary
Cooper is probably the male equivalent

follows IL only too well known. Severe and
starving diets go into force and some weight
may come away. But often health comes
away, too.
This woman's only problem Is that she
is an Endomorph and her btixom 213 pounds
is actually not far from her normal and
best weight. And II she wants TO keep her
health she'd better just keep that in mind
and keep off the diets.
For Is years DR.. Sheldon has been making
multiple photographs of the human body
and classifying physical types with health,
intelligence personality ailments and energy
On thousands upon thousands Of subjects he
has been making three-sded photographs in
a process known somato-typing.

Dr. Sheldon finds that you will react diff
ferently in numerous ways than a thin type
Of person. Food, ideas, clothing. diseases

be different for you.
The exclusive drawings on this page, made
in DR. Sheldon's laboratory illustrate the
three extremes Of human physique. They are
based on the study Of $4,000 subjects.
The ENDOAfORPH is the first type,
shown on the left. This person is stout,
plump and smaIl-boned with soft, round

have a massive digestive tract and the Wis
ceral organs-stomach and 30 on-are large.
The Nazi Goering Is one example Of an En-
domorph.
From their pictures Lou Costello of the
radio Charles Laughton of the films and Kate
Smith of the radio also seem to be Endo-
morphs, but obviously they do not have any
of the characteristics that make Goering so
detestable

This type Is frequently found in criminals.
1t represents a body where there is a curious
mental and physical combination of male
and female characteristics. The skin is soft
and the contours are rounded, rather than
masculine and such person is liable to have
effeminate mannerisms.
People like Hitler and his kind have natures
that can be capable of high cultural achev-

perverted to criminal tendencies and express

Hitler and his kind are not born crimi-

enable civilized life to continue.

during the rush hours. That
means that II we can spread the
rush period over a longer time
we will be able TO make two
complete runs and thus double
the number Of persons we can
carry 10 work.
ALSO by eliminating parallel
street car and bus lines we can
increase the efficiency of our
equipment perhaps so per cent.
Monday we are taking half Of
the bus service off Woodward
avenue. BY the middle of July
we will have no more buses rum

This is about all we can do.
We are just going to have to
wait and see what happens"
Detroit evening times., 1942-05-31
What Will Happen?

What will happen then when
gasoline rationing goes into effect,
as expected, sometime in July?
That is the question now faced
by DSR officials who are at a
loss for the answer. 1t is a ques-
ton on which they have spent
hours Of study and the answer
seems TO depend all upon how
much gasoline motorists will be
allowed and how much they will
attempt TO save for pleasure driv-
ing by using the DSR.
1t is not too difficult TO deter
mine how many persons can be
carried by the DSR The problem
is how many persons will want TO
ride.
In the first place, by mid-July
the DSR will have 906 street cars
in service. These will include 100
of the 25-year-old models which
are now being reconditioned after
standing around car barns for
seven or eight years.
There are 1900 buses now In
service or being repaired. Three
hundred more now on order will
be delivered by October.
Supposing then, that every ve-
hicle is loaded TO capacity, with
all standees possible. the DSR
could theoretically carry nearly
200.000 persons at one time. Act
ually, the number would be less,
for some runs are not as busy as
others.
At the present time the DSR
carries slightly more than 1000
600 passengers daily and it is es-
timated that between 100000 and
100 900 persons now ride 10 and
from work in private cars.
The problem then is how many
OF these persons would ride the

On the other hand, permitting a
major diversion of this character
so close to Germany-to proceed
unchallenged, is a gamble which
Hitler could not afford to take.
The question of the feasibility
of an Allied offensive in Europe
has been frequently discussed
among military experts, both in
London and Washington, with the
usual differences of opinion. Such
differences, however - well con-
sidered and sound--do not con-
Germ the issue of policy so much

potential benefits.

However, despite convoy losses

Allied shipments TO Murmansk
I'm recent weeks have exceeded
commitments. Moreover, as most
American lease-lend commitments
to Russia will have been COM
pletely fulfilled by July. the ship
ping problem after that time will
be eased materially. thereby in
creasing the prospects OF an early
Allied offensive.
In any case, the solution OF the
shipping problem involves drastic
curtailment in the use OF tonnage
for nonmilitary commerce by both
the British and Americans.
Undoubtedly this will require
strict government supervision in
order that there will be sufficient
bottoms available-in the event
of an Allied invasion--to trans
port the troops and keep essential
equipment and supplies moving 10

Few people realize the ire

work which must be done in

character. and the enorm o U S
amount of equipment and supplies
that must be collected and trans

Each Trolley to Pack 1O4,
DSR's Chief Nolan Says

Even without gasoline rationing,
going TO be taxed TO capacity
within six months.
That was the official statement
Saturday by Fred A. Nolan, gen.
eral manager of the street railway
system.
Actually, IL means that 104 job
bound and homeward-bound De-
troiters are going TO be crowded
into every street car. Some so
persons are going to be jammed
into every bus.
Half the passengers will be
seated The rest will just stand
up and hang on, to straps and to
each other.
Seats Scarce
Unless you live near the end of
the line you may never get seat.
If you live further along the route
many cars may pass you before
one comes along with room for
you to squeeze on.
1t will be like this not only dur
ing rush hours, but in only a
slightly lesser degree during the
day, for the government has di-
rected that service be cut to a
and that buses make no
unnecessary trips.
These things are true. Within
six months DSR business is ex-
pected TO be up more than so per
cent. Every bus and every street
car will be in operation.
Twenty-five-year-old street cars
with coal stoves stocked by the
will be back on the
lines. Every old bus that can be
will be on the job. Every
new bus that can be purchased
will be in service.
