So You Think You're Good Judge of People
Experts Say Others
Are Tagged Wrong

Most of us tend to size people up when first meet
them Sometimes we tag them correctly. Oftener we're
wrong. Experts. however have studied the relation be-
tween body-build and character, and what they have
found out is summed up in article in the April issue Of
Woman's Home Companion.
These experts and they psychology ists physiol-
ogists and anaomsts, that it isn't that reced-
ing chin shows weak character On the contrary
uay with mental quickness fast action, Impotence
and enthusiasm. But it is true that fat make the
best husbands At least the experts they do if you
require affection, cheeruness socisbity and
disposition
And don't you believe that big-Square- awcd man
is sure TO be gogecr Maybe Dick Tracy and Superman
have lantern Jaws and whrwind personalities but all the
massive Jaw really shows stamina and the experts say
its the sign o slow-acng deliberate plodder Nor is a
prominent the sign of noSincss Instead it is the
advertisement of vitality drive force and combaveness,
The experts blow up a lot of other ideas too For in
stance chatterbox is NOT quick witted very long fn-
do NOT with artistic ability; person who makes
fun OF himself is hardly modest; strong hand
shake is NOT positive sign Of assurance; struttirg
walker is NOT of himself, and the of famous
man is NOT apt to be shftess.
On the other hand il Is true that mon with bushy eve
hrowS vre: that redheads hot-tempered; that
great have great big thumbs that who gush
insincere that smart children are likely be smart
Erown-upS that fat women great for ceremony; that
bad-headcd eNceptionaN romantic lovers, and
that sufferers rapid thinkers who can't keep their
tongues up with the speed Of their thoughts
OF course the article admits the experts say there
are exceptions any rule for you caat take everything
into account at glance and YOU should size per-
son UP by trait alone But it's fun lust he same

from missionaries, out in the noun
tains of China and Tibet, who have
taken it into wildernesses where
electricity never has been heard Of.
They show it by using hand-crank
generator to light a feeble light in
the protector.
Missionaries tell me that one
showing of King of Kings explains
more to the natives than weeks of
telling the story of Christ would
make clear to them"
During the course Of the luncheon
the other day, Mr.. De Mile revealed
for what seems to be the first time
the method by which he parted
the Red Sea for Moses during the
filming Of King of Kings" That
has been one of the memorable pic
torial spectacles of the screen, a
field, incidentally, in which Mr.
De Mile obviously has much of his
fun in picture-making.
Eyes, I don't mind telling you
now" he said in answer to a ques-
ton. "The method we invented
then has since become the one by
which all special effects waves.
from ripples to tidal waves, are
made in Hollywood. The parting was
the important part; I knew I could
do the passing over as on dry land
with waves made Of gelatin on each
side of the passageway. That would
look just like two walls of water.
Il did have some problems film
ing the passage, though. One was
the animals. I knew the human
beings would walk between the walls
OF gelatin. but the sheep didn't have
enough sense to. We had to build
a fence on each side for them. Then
we had to shoot the scene at exactly
noon, so the fence wouldn't throw a
shadow.

did not breathe one tongue Of flame,
or even a Whit of sulphurous

It almost seemed that the builders
of the legend had been practicing
deception all these years, except
that there was hint of DeMille,
the willful perfectionist. It came
out when some one mentioned his
battle with the American Fedora
ton of Radio Artists. Mr.. DeMille
was banned from his Radio Theater
job, you remember. because he re-
fused to join AFRA.
I'm not going to give up that
flght," he declared firmly. There
are all sorts of laws protecting la
bor's right to strike, but no laws
protecting mans right to work.
I'll not suffer for not appearing on
the radio, but there is a principle
involved that must be fought for.
Man has a right to work, for 1t is
by working that man lives
We wouldn't give nickel for
AFRA's chances against that man
DeMille.
A hint of the real De Mile charac-
ter as opposed to the legendary one,
may be found In the proudest
achievement of his long career as
a motion picture director. OF all
the films he has made, Mr.. De Mile
plainly takes the greatest pride in
