Heads Of The Famous Reveal-

Roosevelt could not be a die-

tator:

Low the cartoonist, would have done well in Industry; and

Sir Henry Wood might have been a

pair.ter.

These opinions, expressed by Mr. E. W. Cousins, Fellow of the British Phrenological Society, in a lecture of Kingsway Hall, London, are based on his observation of the skulls of selected "men of the moment."

"Itoosevelt,"

Mr. said

Cousins, "could not be a dictator. His love of his fellows is too strongly developed, his outlook is so broad. Dictators have narrow minds. There is no- thing,,

cruel or relentless about his bend."

GRACIE'S "FORTE"

Of Low, he said: "He could ad- minister, organise plan, discipline. The organ which recognises Incon- gruities and also the organ of in- cüividuality are strongly developed.

"The organ of caution is a little too pronounced. He is too apprehensive und besitative. He goes through a purgatory of thought to produce his ideas."

Sir Henry Wood's head indicated to Mr. Cousins very strong social ins- tincts, friendship and love of chit- drea.

Gracie Field's forte is utter self- abandon in her job, exuberance of spirit and intensity of mental and physical force.

"Acquisitiveness makes her shrewd
