> A small, narrow hand with long palm, short fingers, small thumb, fingertips that can easily be bent backwards, and a spiderweb of fine crease-lines, is the hand of a receptive, not an active, person. His physique is small, delicate, easily fatigued, easily subject to low blood pressure and nervous disorders. His emotions are easily aroused; he has little resistance or endurance, but his intelligence is vivid and original, impressionable and imaginative. Such persons are gifted in art, literature, acting, fashion designing and interior decoration.
For Bombardiers. Dr. Wolff, pioneering, is almost alone in her enthusiasm. But her new science is timely. Last week the Army Air Forces Bombardier School at Midland, Tex. announced that the old idea that long, slender hands are most capable of doing delicate work is "simply a lot of bunk." Dr. Wolff might agree. A bombardier needs deftness but he also needs other qualities: imperturbability, ruggedness, the will for split-hair accuracy. The contention of Dr. Wolff is that, given the specifications of a job to be done, chirology can pick the hands that will be most likely to do it best.
