IF YOUR CHILD is DULL

Perplexed parents have written to
me from time to time regarding
children whose backward mentality
causes alarm and grief. There is
one piece OF advice always give:
Take your child 10 the nearest
psychological clinic. where tests can
be made TO determine definitely the
cause or causes of his backward
ness
Then act on the instructions Civ

the growth OF the mind, no parent
need remain In ignorance as 10 this

From another Point OF NeU

Two men ordered five gallon of gaso-
line from a garage owner on Broadway,
in New York, and when the garage owner
told them it would be. u cents gallon,
they knocked him senseless with black
jack. Detroit garage owners are safe
at this writing by the slight margin Of
five cents.
Government officials in Iowa are not
satisfied, we read, that the man they
have in their possession is Lyman Tobie.
Tobie or not Tobie? That is the ques-
ton.
We feel that the Chicago Judge who
decided that Bacon wrote Shakespeare
may have been influenced by the fact
that the plays have been so often at
tempted by ham.
A reader of this column reports that
he saw Ford jump ditch last Sunday
But that is nothing remarkable; we saw
one jump William Alden Smiths fences.
