" %0 SCIENTIST SCORES CHARLATANS HERE Says Phrenology and Paiin- istry Are Without Slight- est Foundations. The number of phremologists, physi- ogamists and palmists who evidently are able to make a living in the Na- tional Capital constitutes an unfortu- nate commentary on the average of in- telligence, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, anthro- pologist of the Smithsonian Institution. =aid in a lecture at the New National Museum yesterday afternoon. All three methods of fortune telling or character reading are without the «lightest foundation, Dr. Hrdlicka said. Only one, phrenology tie reading of tuberances on in an exact II Home Study 1 bought = |arge white’ polar bear, and kept him in a shed; I wished to ‘stu ‘y Bruin there, by, love of nature fed.. “I'll study him,™ I'said, “gadzook, I'll'count his snowy hairs, and then some day I'll write a book, and shed new light on bears. The critter spends his lite in snow, and doesn’t caré a hoot; that's all the people really know about this splen- did bruite.”” The bear,"he: yearned for polar seas and icebergs large and tall, and every night he jarred the breezé with dreary caterwaul. He loathed the trim abodes of men, ab- horred the human' door, and longed tosroam and howl again on some far Arctic shore. Thep came the neighbors in a group; I hedrd the spokesman say:. “You turn this Bruin from his coop, and let him fade away. Night after night we hear him: yell, too long his noise we've stood; and then he has a rancid smell that spoils the neigh- borhood.

GHOOS' FABLES OF 1925 A Musical Extravaganza AVOS ) (Z PHONES MAIY 4484 ~1485-6823 RTALTO Now Playing About the middle of the eteenth century medical psycholo- zists learned that if a particular sec- tion of the brain was injured the ef- Tect was felt in certain muscles. They developed this knowledge to the point where they can tell to within very small distances the exact point in the brain where various muscular activi- ties are controlled. It was upon this that the fakirs seized and attributed mental qualities, as well as physical, 10 certain sections of the gray matter of the brain. The actual fact is, Dr. Jirdlicka said, that the mental facul- ties are rather generally distributed throughout this section Physiogamy, he said, never had a Vasis In sclence. The practitioners of this fraud pretend to read character in the face—thus attributing fighting auelities to a man®with a square, Jieavy Jaw or courage to a man with a Roman nose. The actual features tell nothing, Dr. Hrdlicka said, although often the light of a man's intelligence stands out in his eves and in his general expression. A clever judge might be able to distinguish between the characters of two living men, but not between those of two dead men with only the actual features to de- yiend upon. Palmistry, he said, is the least harm- ful of the three. It cannot lay any im to a scientific basls. Not so ny people are fooled by the claims of palmists. The study revealed by now in i destined to do a great deal of good, Dr. Hrdlicke said. tI will result In a more special- ized education, rather than the appli- cations of rules to averages. It will ble a more exact application of medicine, dentistry and surgery. There is one school of dentistry, .he sadl, in which it is assumed thaf there Is only normal type of human jaw and every effort is directed to bring the Jaw of each patient to th mal type. As the matter of fact, said, there are four to say nothing of the s siderable yariations fro By not recognizing this fact the den- 1ist 1s liable to cause a great deal of damage.
