ARE YOU Highly Strung?
--that is, are you "neurotic"?
Some people are reluctant to admit the existence of what they think is a morbid con- dition. But it is in fact a nervous sensitivity which properly directed can produce remarkable results. Here are fifty test questions which will determine scientifically
F you are neurotic, don't let it depress you.
In Great Britain' alone there are 10,000,000 like you. About one person in five. You may think that exaggerated.
Let me quote an experienced psychothera- pist who told an international scientific congress not long back that as much as 35 per cent, of the general English population suffer from neurosis of some kind.
But these ten or more millions include some -probably most of the best brains in the country.

Mid-Week Worries
Being Christmas, George took his little son Adolphus to the circus, where, among other unforgettable sights, they saw two elephants, both exactly the same shape, one two feet higher than the other.
The elephant-keeper told them that the taller one was 6ft. high and weighed two tons.
"Father," said Adolphus, "how much does the other elephant weigh ?"
An easy one for a mathematician of George's calibre. Can you work it out?
On the way home George decided to call on an old friend of his father who lived on the north side of a square of four houses. But when they got inside the house he realised that he did not remember either the old man's name. or his professton.、
inutes
Fortunately their host was engaged for a few minutes and he was able to pump the housekeeper. He soon found out that the four householders in the square all have names starting with "S"; Sainsbury, Sinclair, Soames, and Somer- sct. And their occupations are accountant, actor, doctor, painter.
Also his host knows nothing of balance sheets. The accountant lives opposite Mr. Soames, the actor opposite Mr. Sainsbury. The resident on the west side of the square has never passed an examination.
Mr. Soames has just been ill, and asked the doctor to come and ses him. Mr. Somerset is the actor's right-hand neighbour. Mr. Soames has never seen a play.
From these facts George worked out his host's surname, and also worked out the houses and occupations of the other householders.
