Katherine M. H. Blackford, M. D., co-author with Arthur Newcomb of “Analyzing Character,” “The Job, the Man, the Bo: and inventor of the Blackford employment plan, has authorized The Evening World to reproduce from their books a series of articles describing how to fit each type of man to the job which will bring him success, YOUR PROFILE TELLS WHAT YOU ARE. "E nose, as seen in profile, is perhaps one of the most ancient as’ weil as one of the most easily observed and popularly regarded | indicctions of character. The significant point in regard to the contour or form of the nose as seen in profile is this: The high, prominent nose enables its possessor to breathe in large quantities of oxygen in cold air, It was evolved in the midst of environments necessitating great activity and aggressiveness. It is therefore always associated with positive energy. The low, short, | “swayback,” flat nose is best adapted to breathe warm, moist, rarefied air. It was evolved in the midst of an environment not requiring much activity. It is therefore associated with comparative inactivity and mod- erate or deficient energy. The contour or form of the forehead as seen In profile presents con- siderations worthy of careful study and comparison, The “bulging” forehead is the forehead of meditation, of dreams and fancles, and often- times of a sense of humor. The high, sloping forehead is associated with) a keen, practical, matter-of-fact intellect. Let us now construct a human face, as seen in profile, with forehead prominent at the brows and receding above, with the eyes large and prom- inent, with the nose high in the bridge, long and standing well out from the face, with teeth and mouth protruding and prominent, and with chin short and receding. The face {s prominent in the middle section and recedes above and below. This is the pure type of convex face. The significa: of the pure con- vex type is energy, both mental and physical. Superabundance of energy makes the extreme convex keen, alert, quick, eager, aggressive, impa- tlent, positive and penetratin, As indicated by the form of his fore- head, the extreme convex will ex- press his energy in a practical man- ner—that {s to say, in keen observa~ tion in dealing with material and tangible facts: He will demand facts, and will act upon facts quickly and rapidly, being too impatient to wait for reasons and theories. The pure convex is not only quick to act but quick to speak. The ten- dencies indicated by his convex mouth will cause him to speak frankly and at times even sharply and fiercely, without much regard for tact or diplomacy. As indicated by his type of chin, the pure convex rapidly for his limited endurance, and, owing to his lack of self-control and disinclination to deliberate and reason, frequently blunders and ex- pends his energy uselessly or un- profitably. Being of such a keen, en- ergetic, impatient, practical nature himself, the extreme convex has @ stimulating and oftentimes an frri- tating effect upon others. The convex is also, in the majority of cases, a blond, The combination of hopeful, optimistic, restless, or- ganizing, creating, domineering char- acteristics of the blond with the quick, alert, practical, aggressive qualities of the convex, make this type distinctively the type of action and tangible accomplishment Now Jet us construct another face, with forehead prominent above and flat at the brows, eyes deep set and small, nose short, sway-back or snubbed, teeth and mouth receding and chin long, broad and prominent at the lower point, The face 1s prom: {ment above and below and receding | im the middle section. This is the| pure type of concave form The pure concave, as might be ex- pecied, is the exact opposite, 80 far as the indications of form are con-| cerned, of the pure convex note of his character 1s mildness, His @oncave nose {8 an indication of mod erate or deficient ¢ He ts slow of thought, slow of action, patient in| Gisposition, plodding.

What the convex wins or gains by his aggressiveness, keenness and superabundance of energy, the con- cave wins or gains by his diplomacy and unwavering persistence and en- durance. Because of his deficient energy, because of his great delib eration, because of his few spoken and written words and defictency in self-advertisement, because he lacks aggressiveness, the concave is sel- dom found among men of achieve ments and prominence. The con- cave brunette ts an exceedingly rare type among famous men. Whenever one {s found he has achieved fame through either philosophy or religion or some form of art—requiring years of patient plodding and detailed, specialized application, Let us construct still another face, with a straight forehead, about equally prominent above and at the brows, with eyes neither deep-set nor protruding, with a straight, medium- sized nose, with a mouth neither prominent nor receding, and a chin whose form, as seen in profile, is in a straight line with the forehead, eyes, nose and mouth, The face ts not particularly prominent in any section, but is modolled upon a plane surface. This is the pure type of plane form, The tndividual whose face 1s model- led upon the plane in form 1s a bal- ance between the extreme convex and the extreme concave. In this indi- vidual we find moderate energy, a type of intellect which, while not so intensely practical that of the ex- treme convex, has a good degree of the practical combined with season- ableness and balanced judgment. The plane type has neither the “hair trigger" impulsiveness of the extreme convex nor the procrastinating de Mberation of the extreme concave, but 1s a balance between the two, quick nor extremely slow, but mod erate in his movements and in his thinking. He expresses himself well, and sometimes frankly, but seldom harshly or sharply. He {s inclined to be patient, but has decldod ideas | as to when patience ceases to be al virtue, Nearly all people approach this balanced or plane type. | wee ELIA SAYS FISH HAVE BRAINS, Stephen Decatur Bridges of Verona, near Bangor, who ts known as the on and alewife King of the Pen scot, ts positive not only that fish have brains, but that flsh reason and ‘form | dislikes and Mkes and tell their opinions | to each other 1 1 s explains the disappearance of sulmon from the Penobscot in two ways either “salmon tell other salmon how dirty tts waters are and how it ts not fit for any respectable sulmon to lve tn, or “the fish resent it because at the hatchery in Bast Orland they are taken from the water and stripped of their fish resent that because it re."

WEDNESDAY, APREL 10, 1918 So Now She Has Her Own “War Bride Real Patriot; Sends Her Man to France; War Bride’s Flag,”’ Designed by Miss Ethel M. Kelley, Who Tells Story of One War Bride’s Problems in ‘‘Over Here, Woman’s Book of the War. First Great By Ma rguerite Mooers Marshall. HE woman who has found THE MAN and lets him go tothe front without marrying him is a slacker. him and tries to hold him at home.is a slacker. The real patriut is the girl who know; that this is HER war, who sends her husband to France and fights at home, bravely and cheerfully, her own fight for self-control, tor self-support, for her home and for her country.” That Is the war bride as Ethel M. Kelley sees her and as Miss Kelley has written her story in ihe first great woman’s book of the war, “Over Here.” “England has been waiting for something like this to come out of America and the heart of American The woman who marzies womanhood,” a distinguished English officer has written Miss Kelley. With tenderness and simplicity the author has made an eighteen-year- old New York girl, pretty, sheltered, pleasure-loving, utterly young, tell her own story of love and the lover-husband she gave to her country. He had been at Plattsburg, and a week after their engagement war was declared between the United States and Germany, “You've got to go, Tommy,’ Beth says simply. “It's all right, dear; we love each other, and we must do right. Our country needs us.’” “I was selfish in my love at first,” she confesses on the next page, “but 1 am not that way any more, Whe- ther Tommy is with me or not | doesn’t matter so much—what mat- ters is that we belong to each other; | and I know that God will take care | of him for me wherever he !s. We mustn't try to do our bit—that isn't enough. We must do our all, It would be a good dea! easier not to | believe this, but it wouldn't be right.” | So they are married at once, most | simply, and after a week of honey- |moon and a few weeks with Tom- |my’s people the little bride returns |to her father’s home and Tommy goes to Plattsburg again. He gets his commission as Captain, and ten days later eails for France on spe- cial service, although Beth has been |hoping for a detail at Camp Up- |ton, “I guess the war did want | something more of me,” she observes | quietly. “One can bear such things, | of course, and it's only decent to | give up when you know it's the big thing. War is hell, but there is something about doing your part that helps you through it. There we are, Tommy in the flesh and me in the spirit, with our composite feet on the soil of France.” She works and waits quietly, put- ting the household on a Hooverized war basis, writing cheerful letters to her husband, “a little funny at the end of the letters, so he will fin- ish them with a smile,” believing confidently that he will come back, refusing the relief of tears because “I might cry too hard.” Then in November comes the ca- ble that Tommy has been killed by a stray shell, and in the New Year Tommy’s son {s born, of whose coming he was not told before his departure because the brave little mother-wife “thought it would give him too much to be anxious about.” “I got to see,” the war bride thinks aloud at the end of the book, “that there couldn't be any special dispensation for me, who am only one of the suffering people in the world, ‘If only I hadn't let him go,’ was all I could think of at first, but I see now he had to go. He wanted to go. He would not have been sat- tsfled {f he hadn't! Besides, other men go. When he went I did not think he could be killed, and so I was wiljing that he should take his charmed life over there among the others whose lives were not charm- ed. I was willing that they should be killed and not he. Now I have had to have him killed, He is just | one of the rest, and he always was, “That lesson I have had to learn. That he and I are like the others— win—or lose—this war. And I hi ETHE MTT RELLEY “THE WAR GRIDES FLA @ Gounr Memmi Compare iqip said in ‘Over Here,’ ‘In France, in Italy, in England, they speed their men on their way, The women fight the war, Our women don't, They play at it, or they make their sacri- fices with something held back.

Of course a girl should not be swept away by the hysterla of the timos and marry a uniform simply because she likes the set of khaki. But ff she has found her real man, she {s utterly selfish not to become his wife before he goes to the front, “If he comes back disfigured or disabled, his scars will be badges of honor.
