We'll l guess that maybe Betty Is
a hypocrite, if being a hypocrite
means saying little kind things based

TO TEST YOUR APPLICATION
Hugo Munsterberg Gives a Simple
Way to Conduct Really Interest
Ing Experiment.

Have your friends the ability to
hold their attention or does 1t become
quickly fatigued? A simple expert.
ment will show you, writes Hugo
Munsterberg in the Youths Compan-
ion. Give each person a column from
a newspaper, and have each one cross
out with a pencil every letter A and
every letter r. Keep an eye on your
watch, and when half a minute has
passed, say Now" as a signal for
each experimenter to make mark at
the word that he has just reached.
Keep this up for five minutes, and
then count how many AS and how
many RS each one marked in the first
half-minute, how many in the fifth,
and how many In the tenth, and see
how many each person overlooked In
each half-minute.
Some persons will do well at the be-
ginning, but will soon become inatten-
tive. In the last four halfminutes
they will mark few letters, and over
look many Others will do better In
the second and third half-minute than
in the first, and their attention will be
sharper at the end than at the begin
ming.

in the mid-continent field jumped to
SO cents Monday, the highest price
pair here for crude in nine years. Oil
