IMAGINATION! #12 38 Sep
GRAFOLOGYARNS [signed] Dark

Too many of us r prone to judge without having the facts before us.  ~~ Grafology is not a fortune-telling pastime nor intended to foretell the future or reveal the past--only insofar as certain character traits found in the handwriting may indicate to what extent latentalents or defects may b used.  It does not attempt to tell U when & where a money legacy may become yours nor when U may b marryd but it can help U put yourself on the road to winning your own legacy or teach U how to b happy "the marryd".  ~~  How many of us write as were taught?  Most of us learnd the copybook style of writing & letter forms but only those wanting to assert their individuality or having an individuality to assert broke away from the norm.  ~~  Unless there b a ruled line on which to write how many can keep their writing from ascending as the pen or pencil travels across the pg?  Even with a ruled line as a guide note how seldom the base of all letters hits the line.  It jumps above or below.  & to the eye of the traind grafologist these variations indicate some particular trait of character--but not some particular phase of good or bad fortune to come your way.  ~~  Even to the untraind eye the sample of writing being analyzed herewith shows clearly it is not the writing of an ignorant, uneducated person.  To the traind eye this writing tells considerably more. (Editorial note: Mme Dark analyzed the handwriting anonymously; in other words, the identity of the author was secret from her--& has remaind so to her until she recieves this issue with the copy of her column, mildly Ackermanesed at her request--so no question of prejudice possibly coud arise.  We hereby affirm she had no knowledge whatsoever the writer was--DR. DAVID H KELLER):
Here we find a person who enjoys rapid thot & action.  He is always on the go mentaly & physicly.  He has a warm, sincere & affectionate nature, is friendly, likes people & social activity.  While U will find him ready to talk, he will not bore U. (A pretty accurate picture, don't U think?  The LASFL can particularly vouch for the latter assertion.)  ~~  He has an analytical mind, considerable curiosity & enjoys investigating things.  Has good reasoning powers, imaginative powers r highly developt & he uses this imagination in his work.  A hi sense of honor is shown & some humor & wit. (Who can doubt it?) Pride & independence r not lacking.  ~~  Considerable nervous vitality is evident in the writing & some inner pressure which does not find active expression.  He has the ability to see ahead & carry out his plans.  ~~  Literary tastes r of a cultural nature.  He also has what is called a mathematical mind--not particularly the mind of a bookkeeper or accountant but one which figures out things.

ETHER EERIES [signed] "House of Human Gargoyles" Dr. Acula

Having an intense hatred for all normally formd humans a mad midget with hypnoti-control over a contorted giant, Sascha, has establisht a house of horror.  In true Terror Tale style, the Newlyweds, on their honeymoon, fall into the clutches of the crazed freak & his evil assistants.  The midge decides to give the fellow, Fred, the first workingover, removing his legs & substituting the horrible crippled limbs of a slave, Fleischner.  But the door of a closet in the operating room opens & out steps a human travesty, once Clyde Barrow, matinee idol.  He releases the other human gargoyles who in a climax reminiscent of Dr. Moreau's fate in Wells-Wylie's "Island of Lost Souls" pin down the puny one &--use your imagination!  In the end, believe it or not, the inmates fire it & the mansion of the mad misery is burnd to the ground!
I was surprised to hear Esperanto mentioned on one the Post Bran Flakes commercials of Robt Ripley's show.  They said "Life is swell when you keep well", a slogan of theirs, in the universalanguage... "Vivo 'as bona kiam oni restas sana", Erdstelulov supplys the translation, adding, with unquenchable "ontuziasmo": ONWARD E S P E R A N T O !
