THE AMAIttLLO GIX3BE-TIMES, AMARILLO. TEXAS ali.cuaiutd tlcetowK Church Society Elects Officers Election of was held at a recent meeting of the Woman's Society of Christian Service, Tenth Avenue Methodist Church, ir. the church parlor. Presiding was Mrs. V.

French. New officers include Mrs. J. D. lucMiun, president; Mrs.

Dwight Weems, vice president; Mrs. Andrew Hester, recording secretfiry; Mrs. W. V. Ey BETTE THOMPSON For a good many years, I've been making a study of "People and How They Sneeze," and have come to some rathe'r profound conclusions.

There's no doubt about French, treasurer; You can definitely judge a person's character by the way lie or she handles a sneeze (or fails to handle it). There ecre are. P. a speaking, throe categories of sneezing. There is the quiet sneeze.

There is the loud sneeze. And there is the combination sneeze. (This obviously combines the two types). The quiet sneeze indicates a complex character (as do the other two types). Either a man sneezes quietly because his makeup is just not naturally explosive, or because for some reason or other he has had to subdue his sneezing activities.

Heard about a minister, for instance, who felt a sneeze coming on while he was in the pulpit. His instinct was to suppress it (it, didn't fit in with the sermon), which he did. This, as it happened was a mistake, since he suffered a detached retina and was forced to be absent Jrom. his pulpit for several weeks. It is generally agreed among medical men that if you are not a quiet sneezer by nature, don't inhibited.

Now we look at the explosive sneezer (this type is the direct opposite of the first type.) First, there is the man who simply turns loose. While this particular aspect of his personality may be a bane to his secretary (she has to pick up all the papers he has scattered about in the explosion), she can rest assured that he will be a more pleasant man once he has his system. Then there are got it out of those whose sneezes turn to whimsey. For instance, the man with the roving eye, whose sneeze comes out as "Wowwwww." Or the chronic pessimist, with his "Hecknooooo" (loosely translated as heck no). It is difficult to be sure the man who sneezes "Whiskey." You can't tell if he simply has a psychological block because of an allergy to drink, or if it is the unconscious expression of a suppressed desire.

Nevertheless, a close study of whimsical sneezers will reveal many facets of character (and many who are Just plain characters). Combination sneezers are almost without exception people with unused creative abilities. In high school I had a history teacher who was a combination sneezer. She was a fine, upstanding woman, intelligent, and an effective teacher except in the spring and in the fall. At these times she was afflicted with sneezing.

She would be in the middle of a lecture on the Fall of Rome, and suddenly a hush would fall (we students came to recognize the signs, and to wait expectation). After a moment she begin to snort and puff loudly. This went on for several minutes, rising in sound until we students were almost mad with anticipation. Then she would come forth with a tiny sneeze that won't. All of us are subject to theue at one time or another.

But it is only those who never sneeze for whom there is no They have no character at all. So, watch your fellow man when he sneezes. Learn to understand him better. And get out of his when you see a sneeze com. ing on or you'll wind up with the flu.
