Harvard University has applied the
methods OF experimental psy chology To
determine whether a man is thorough :
" fitted 10 follow a chauffeur's occu-
patton for which certain natural quail
| fications are Indispensable.
This is in accordance with the ideas
OF Prof. Hugo Munsterberg of the
psychology department at Harvard. II
Is the theory OF Professor Munsterberg
that no hey ought TO become IA chauf-
feur If his reaction times in the labora-
tory indicate that he would not be
quick enough to stop his car II a child
ran out on the roadway in front of the
wheels.
In the test for chauffeurs at Harvard
the subject Is placed In an automobile
In a hall equIpped for this purpose
fIe Is seated at the wheel of the ma
chine. which Is lacked up 50 that all OF
the machinery is movable. while the
auto will not bulge.
The experiments are conducted in
a darkened room. In front OF the car
Is white wall. upon which moving
pictures of great size are shown. They
are Immediately before the chauffeur S
Icyes.
A light is thrown on the cbauffeura 3
hands so that every action is visible TO
the professor as the hands Of the sub
lect are engaged In manipulating the
levers of the machine.
The chauffeur is told 10 act as he
would in real life If he saw any one Of
The things happen that appear on the
screen. II Is true that he knows the
automobile IL not running, but the fact
that he is undergoing a test puts him
ON edge and makes him behave approx
imately as he would under ordinary
conditions.
A tiny child is shown on the screen
with startling realism, totteiing across
the auto road In front OF the auto By
means Of the film The chauffeur Is
expected to handle the car without an
instant loss OF time. as ne would do it
the emergency arose in real life. This
is the most important test to
which the chauffeurs are subjected b.
the Harvard system.
From this series of tests 1t Is found
that drivers fall into three classes.
The first perform the, necessary opera
tions with dispatch and without ap-
preciable loss of time The second arc

More to Be Remembered.

The man of now has much more
excuse for making mistakes than did
julius Caesar or Alexander the Great.
The world is bigger and there is more
in 1t. There is more to be remem-
bered. There are machines now in
everyday use that would have given
the Conqueror of Gaul headache to
have even looked at. There is enough
complexity in a single business day to

Two Facts

NERVES regulate and control ev-
cry action and function of the body.
2-Displacement OF vertebrae OF spi-
nal column causes pressure on nerves.
S-Pressure on nerves causes abnor-
NAL function in the part supplied by
said nerve-this is called disease.
Therefore the intelligent mind will
be able TO deduce the two most basic
facts OF Chiropractic.
First-That the physical cause Of ali
so-called diseases Is vertebrae sublux-
alton and nerve pressure.
Second-That the Chiropractor with
his trained and intelligent hands
ONLY. by adjusting the vertebrae that
are subluxated win remove the cause.
Have you ever heard anything moro
reasonable.

didly what ] can do for you.

ments for continuance. These state that
the Testimony OF William Anderson and
Mrs. NJ. II. johnson, OF an Omaha hotel,
and John Lee. r. l.. Cooper and Charley
McCarey OF a Winnipeg hotel could not
be secured.
The defense said II expected 10 prove
by the testimony OF the omaha people
that Boyees son and Mrs. sneed regis
tered In the Nebraska city as Mr.. and
Mrs. A. ]. Brooks and that while there
Mrs Sneed was often seen crying and
heard talking of her children.
The mystery Of Throckmorton's illness
had not been cleared away during the
night. There have been told many sensa-
tional stories to account for his condition,
One Of the most widely circulated Is that
for several days he has been in the com.
