-Spring Bad Time
For Thin Person
Short, Stocky people on the
Contrary Must Guard Their
Sanity In, Summer, Fall
The slender person should be-
ware' of mental effects of the,
weather in the spring, and the
short; Stocky person_ _in.summer
and autumn.
;This was suggested .t6 the Ain-
erioan'• Medical Association in a
report' of, the' influence. of tba
weather on persooality.. The re-
port was by Doctors 'William . F.
-Petersen' of the University of Il-
linois, Chicago, and Hans 'H.
Reese, • University of • Wisconsin.
WEATHER INFLUENCES PER-
f SONALITY , w •
The weather; they • said, in-
fluences the mental :balance of
.the. mentally disturbed and 'the
snoods of normal persons.' The • .
spring; summer and • fall effects
on: slender and stocky persons
'were found in. studying' records:
of mental. • . hospitals along 'n ith.
weather reports. •
Weather, the doctors declared,
will ;bring out • Latent hereditary
tendencies. A, vague . mental. dile
fieulty' may be changed, : with a
weather changed into full-fledged •
mental "illness.. , '
BLOOD CHEMISTRY AFFECTED
They said that the weather pro-
foundly affects • human blood
•. the try. With these b 1 0 o d
changes go the feelings of ex-
hilaration and buoyance' ;or of
depression. In the stocky person'
an increase in blood alkalinity
accompanies a ihilaration. • °
The' thin man feels bine, and .ir-
ritable ' when his alkalinity drops.

For ,Very Sunny Spots

shines practically all day. there
are three outstanding flowering
plants; geraniums, French mari-

that the colors range from white

Those who prefer''high color might.
choose red geraniums' to go with
