man forgets himself into real per-
sonality, we are not asking the
"introvert" to become an extra
vert" Neither type in its exagger-
ated form IS desirable, and the ideal
consummation includes the better
elements of both.
Abraham Lincoln had tragic
struggle with himself. HIS inner
emotional conflicts were gerce and
sustained. In his early manhood
he was not unified and coherent
person but a cave of eolus, full OF
storms. He had the makings of neu-
rotic ruin in him. In 1841 he said
Il am now the most miserable man
living. If what I feel were equally
distributed to the whole human
family, there would not be one
cheerful face on earth" He could
easily have been an extreme ex-
ample Of tn morbid "introvrt," but
he was not.
Obviously he did not solve his
obsessing INNER problems merely
by tinkering with them. He out
fanked them. The amazing de-
velopment of his latter years into
great personality came not so much
by centering attention on himself
as by forgetting himself. The mir
rors of his mind turned more and
mere to windows.
His devotion to a cause greater
than himself transformed what he
had learned in his long struggle
with himself into insight, under
standing, sympathy, humor, wisdom.
He did not SO much subjectively
get himself together as he was
drawn together by objective loyal
ties. We cannot call him in the
end either "introvert' or extra
vert" He combined them.
Tomorrow: If you are physically
tired you don't fret over imaginary
worries.

REAL PERSON
BY DR.. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICk
A Balanced Man Is a Combination
of "Extravert" and fIntrovert''

Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, dis
tinguished types of people-the Eek
trayert" and the "introvert." The
former readily participates in OBJ
jective practical affairs, is emo
tionally spontaneous and outgoing,
is relatively tough-minded when he
is disapproved by others, naturally
resolves his difficulties not so much
by introspection as by external
action, is bothered little by self
analysis and self criticism, and in
general is intently interested in the
outer world.
The latter Is keenly conscious of
his inner life of ideas and i'm
aginations, is much less hearty,
bluff, and unconstrained in his
expression of emotions, Is Sensi-
tive to disapproval, cherishes long
the memory of experiences involv-
ing personal praise or blame, Is
given to brooding, introspection,
self-analysis, self -criticism, sees all
experiences through the coloring
medium of his own feelings, and in
general is more wildly aware Of
the subjective than of the objective
world. These two types do not con-
stitute two mutually exclusive tenn
peraments with clear boundary
between. Each OF us is more or less
both.
Nor is the advantage altogether
on either side. The balanced man
Is synthesis of the two. The ex-
IRENE "introvert," unable to escape
from his self-centered broodings,
has morbid mind. The extreme
"eXtrayert,' however, is unhealthy,
toe. He becomes an Incentive
blunderer, bull in a china shop
He is seldom at home with him
self. Meditation is to him an alien
art, and he has little of religion.
His typical technique in facing life
Is to blow on his hands and Justify
tackle it. He may be heaty but he
is not deep; he may give himself to
objective aims but the self he gives
has limited dimensions.
No exaggerated "extravert" ever
wrote a great poem or symphony;
he could not possibly be Wilber-
force or Lincoln or Pasteur; and
in help his friends, while he may
outwardly give indispensable serv-
ice, he cannot sustain them in
wardly in trouble. He commonly
comes cropper when he himself
faces situations that his outgoing,
explosive energy is untitled to han
die, for then he tries with busy,
mercurial activity to deal with pro-
found sorrows or inner conflicts that
cannot be SO resolved.
Fundamentally he lacks a finely
shaded, sensitive emotional life, so
that, not inwardly understanding
himself, he fails in understanding
others.

perience by which the egocentric

New Deal Is Promised Domestic
Workers In England After War
BY ROsETTE HARGROvE
NEA Stah CORRESPONDENT

London, Dec. 14-Before the war,
when Mrs. Suburbia thought about
domestic service in the u. S. A., It
was usually In terms Of Hollywood,
where maids came to work in their
own cars, received enormous wages
for little work, and dressed as
smartly as their mistresses. Little
did she dream in those far-off days
that 1T might happen here" But
after a period of over three years
with few or no servants available,
she realizes that while domestic
service will return with the peace,
it will never again be on the 1899
scale.
This is one of the many revo-
lutions which has swept the Brit
ish scheme Of living. Minister of
Labor Ernrest Bevin now has de-
clared in the House of Commons
that he is contemplating new
deal for domestic servants.
PROPOSE 8-DAY DAY
An eight-hour working day and
a day off each week are suggested
as the foundation for the new De-
mesticS' Chatter Other conditions
proposed are a minimum Wages
for domestics living in and $40 for
those living out-with higher SAL
aries according to experience and
work done, as well as a minimum
yearly vacation with full and living
expenses
The new charter. besides pro-
viding for minimum wages and
better hours, also proposes to
campaign for better accommoda-
ton and meals, likewise the rails
ing of domestic servants from
their mental" status.
This Is where the revolution
comes in. For the best part of
her life Mary Ann has been an
Swering Mrs. Cuburbia's bell
from z a. m. until any time up to
1890 p. m. She accepted a regime
which gave her one free night in
seven, provided she was in by
10:30-and hated it all the time.
Most of the girls now in the
wartime services who previously
were domestics declare they never
will return to being maids and
cooks. Not on the old terms, any,
way. And all over the country,

course of the last three years that

that. IF we have but rs members
we have no right to dictate to a

This brought on bitter attacks
on the part OF proponents of the
leadership whitewash who stated
that "as members of the Republi-
can party they had every right to
express their feelings concerning
the town committee"
Edward Udelowitz, fiery party
adherent, scored Alderman Kings
tons statement while saying that
the club couldn't be built up unless
there is something to build for
and I mean real Republican party
He then again affirmed his belief
that the party leadership must be
reorganized. John McHugh one of
the organizers of the Young Re
publican Club charged that "Ver-
non Hall and Warren Epson aren't
or never were town chairlnen OF
the Republican party. Both are
tools Of Bill Pape."
After continued debate, Mr.. Ryan
of the American Progressive party
moved that all the motions be
tabled. which action was finally
adopted.
Previous to the opening of the
general discussion, President Frank
Ign Warren, who leaves today to
enter the Navy as lieutenant,
turned over the gavel of the club
TO vice-President Frank Rossi who
conducted last nights meeting. Mr..
Warren was presented purse in
behalf of the members of the club.

Republican leadership also when
speaking extemporaneously at a
state party dinner in New Haven
he declared that many Republicans
were interested only what they
could get out of the party politics
without putting much into the
efforts needed.
The club then voted to amend
its bylaws which prevent the club
from participating in the party
primaries, and those which require
that only persons under 40 shall
hold office in the club. These two
votes will have to be approved at
the next meeting to become effec-

Men who'd been wounded six
times in a year and sent back to

Cutler, who is Moseley Professor
of Surgery at Harvard. Hospitals
for the slightly wounded, 80 per
cent of all casualties, are right up
there with the front divisions, in
stead of miles behind.
"A man who's been wounded in
the hand doesn't timber up by bas-
ket-weaving, but by taking a ma
chine gun apart. It's war with
those people every time" said Cut
Ter. In his opinion the Russians
are also far ahead of other coun-
tries in handling great numbers of
wounded. They give man the
right treatment from the very be-
ginning. A man with a smashed
face isn't operated on by foot
specialist, because there's a plastic
surgeon right at the front.
Though ahead of us in hospital
organization, the Russians are still
largely dependent on their allies
for drugs and hospital equipment

DR.. Cutler had six x-ray machines
two American, two British and
two captured from the Germans.
The German machines were the
best of all.
Shortly after his arrival in the
Soviet. DR.. Cutler saw a Russian
woman stalking across field car
rying fir tree on each shoulder.
Then he found himself staring into
the muzzle of a gun held by a
pretty young Russian policewoman
demanding to see his pass. So by
the time he got to the hospitals. he
wasn't surprised to find women doc
