depth, activity, and quality of lung power.  They do not breathe in or use much oxygen, so they are lacking in energy.  Such people are not predisposed to industry.  Love of work—­love of the game that causes a man to be interested in every phase of his work—­is not, however, wholly dependent upon energy.  It is something in the very heart and fiber of the man.  Willingness to work, perseverance in work, and decision come under disposition to industry.

[Illustration:  Photo by F. Gutekunst, PhilaFig. 1.  Jacob A. Riis, Journalist, Author and Philanthropist.  A man of unusual intellectual power, observation, reason, memory, logic, and analysis, with high ideals, great love for humanity, especially the weak and helpless; good powers of expression, sense of humor, courage, and determination.  Note large development of upper part of head; fairly well developed brows; high dome over temples; height and width of forehead, especially across center; full lips; well developed nose; strong chin; and alert, poised, kindly expression.]

[Illustration:  Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.  New YorkFig. 2.  Dr. Booker T. Washington.  Very ambitious, practical, energetic, self-reliant, persistent, determined, capable of rule.  Note high head; high, sloping forehead, prominent at the brows; large nose, high in the bridge; and long, straight upper lip.]

[Illustration:  Fig. 3.  James H. Collins, Author.  A splendid example of intellectual type with good bone and muscle.  Has excellent balance of mechanical and commercial understanding, keen judgment of men, practical sense, and fine determination, with sentiment, sympathy, friendliness, and faith.  Note high, medium-wide head, especially high in center above temples and wide and full through center of forehead; prominence of brows; width between eyes; full, cleanly modeled lips; strong nose and chin; and keen, pleasant, friendly, spirited expression.]

[Illustration:  Fig. 4.  H.G.  Wells, Novelist and Economist.  A man of physically frail type, with natural mechanical leanings.  Inventive, creative, industrious, humanitarian.  Because of his mechanical ability, he uses his creativeness for constructing novels dealing with mechanical invention.  Because of his humanitarian instincts, he writes of social and economic world problems.  Note large upper portion of head, especially from center of forehead to sides of head; also prominence of brows; large nose, and long head.]

[Illustration:  Copyright American Press Association.  FIG. 5.  Mr. Henry Ford, Automobile Manufacturer and Philanthropist.  Mr. Ford is of the physically frail type, with a goodly admixture of the bony and muscular element.  His natural mechanical bent, therefore, took the intellectual form of invention and organization.  His sentiment, responsiveness, sympathy, and idealism are shown by high, rather narrow head, fine texture, height of head just above temples, and gentle, kindly, genial expression.]
