Large Increase in Business Causes Local
Company to Start New Plant

/ Owing to the increasing demand for
the output of the business, the Cooley

brass founders and machinists and man
ufaeturers of stone polishing machinery,
| find it necessary to branch out in order
| to take care of this trade. A building
has been rented for a foundry in Wind

force of men installing the machinery
and getting the plant in readiness. There
| the company expects to employ between
| rs and 100 men largely on foundry work.
This does not mean any eurtaiment of
the work here, as there are booked now
for this plant orders enough to keep busy
for year ahead, the manufacturing of
the stone polishing machinery being
looked after here The main Office will
be kept here, Edward Cooley being in
charge of this plant. 1t is much to be
regretted, however, that William Cooley
and family will move to Windsor, as he
is to superintend the plant.

I Centrals football team held their
first workout since the Holtville game
last night.
No scrimmage was held, the first
tea mmerely going through signals
for plays to be used against Calex-

Milton Thompson is now working
ir the fullback position and taking
the place of Nichols, who will be out
OF the game Saturday. Right Guard
y Dung is playing the quarterback po-
sition in the absence of Shaney.
Claude Patterson is filling the right
guard position. Red" Buckley was
playing in left tackle position in the
absence of Whiting. Buckley is an
aggressive charger and should make
good in some line position.
Bakers sprained ankle is getting
stronger, and will be in fine shape
by Saturday. Lauder was out for
the first time onight since he was
injured several weeks ago in a fall.
It IS not yet known whether he will
be in share for Saturdays game, for
he is not incondition after his long

Testing Sammy's Brains.

Now our soldiers are having their
brains tested.
There has been worked out for them
a system of experimental psychology
such as would have delighted the soul
or the late lamented DR.. Munster
berg.
The examiners are not looking for
added brains. They merely want to
1t out the clever brains from the dull
ores.
First the men are examined for
literacy. When ilhterates are found,
they are further examined for manual
skill, ability to put machinery togeth-
cr. etc. Those who can read-the vast
niajority-are given various tests 10
determine their mental quickness and
accuracy. Those who are found to
be of low-grade intelligence are
grouped with the ilhterates and tested
as to their fitness for the various
kinds of skilled and unskilied labor
necessary in an army. Men with the
poorest mental qualifications will be
used only for manual work under su-
pervision. Men making the best
showing will be utilized for the more
-diiTfsSsruk and desirable kinds OF work,
or marked for promotion from the
ranks.
The aims of the psychological ex-
amination," explains Professor Bing-
ham of the Carnegie Institute, one of
the experts who worked out the meth
cd, "are to measure native intelli-
genee and ability, not school; to dis
close what a man can do with his
head and has hands, not what he mas
learned from books; and 10 sift OH
any extremely incompetent, and thu
prevent the insfficiency and injustice
resulting from putting men in place;
which they are not qualified to fill.
The innovation should be welcomed
as another guarantee of the democ,
racy and squareness with which Uncle
Sam intends to treat his fighting men
Every soldier is going to have q
chance to rise TO any place he is fitted
for.

knitting.

There is much discussion at present
over the subject Of knitting. The
prevalence of the habit seems to those
who have had their years heightened
to be revival of old times. Ths
knitting habit among women in the
NSsfnes of our grandfathers and grand
mothers prevailed, not only in every
household, but prevailed all the time
The woman was never idle ard was
dong useful knitting when she seemed
to be resting from other labors. But
hat was before tn cage of the knit
t1hg machine and when the needle did
useful duty. Today the practice is
somewhat Of fad, but it is possibly
the most useful fashion that has been
invented. 1t may not be needed in
the economy Of nature 70 supply use
fui articles either for the army at the
front or the civili5i at nome. but
''e haplt OF useful 6idustry is a very
important matteFhe world.

Halloween was quite properly celc-
brated in the social room of the new
Presbyterian church when the Chris
tan Endeavorers of that church en-
tertalned the members and friends of
the other young peoples organizations
of the other churches. The room had
been decorated with pumpkin lanterns
and witches, black cats and horrible
monsters galore, and these gave the
room that weird, mystic effect neces-
sary to such an occasion. "The Dark
Room" over whose portal was in
scribed the warning "Leave hope be-
hind, all ye who enter here" was
well patronized. 1t was a very ap-
propriate motto, for within were skel-
etons, fortune teller and general
spook. Those who emerged were well
paid for their trouble. Later, with
the lights turned low and the entire
crowd of about 100 pound folks seat
ed on the floor, and the weirdest of
sounds, all about real ghost stories
were related and shivers played
about ones backbone. Mr.. McMahon
played number of weird numbers
the violin and after that the crowd
lined up, cafeteria style, for coffee
and sandwiches.

s. Washington, Aug. 2s.-Signs were
in evidence today Of the dispatch Of

proposals Of Pope Benedict at an early
date. Officials freely conceded the
of the early completion Of
the communication, indicating that
the president and Secretary Lansing
at least have agreed upon the basic
features Of the reply, SO that what re-
mains to be done is to put these ideas
into diplomatic language. S$. NE .5,, ;s'

No official opinion exists that the
proposals will be accepted, but in dip
iomatic practice there is a wide field
for discussion between the two ex-
treines Of rejection and acceptance.
The fact that Pope Benedict In some
of the most important features Of his
communication adopted principles
enunciated by President Wilson is
regarded in some quarters as insuring
the peace proposals against an: un-
qualified rejection, &
On the other hand the failure OF

as making. 1t certain that there can
