is YOUR CHILD NoRMAL7
Parents Should Apply Binet Tests to
Young Children.

The Binet and Simon tests of intel
ligence are arranged to determine the
mental status of children from 3 to
is years of age. If child responds
successfully to the tests arranged for
it's age it is probably normal, so far
as it's intellectual development is con-
cerned. But if it can succeed only
in the tests arranged for younger
children, it is backward.
A child of should be able to COM
prehend spoken words and to answer
simple questions by gesture. Ask
child of 8, "Where are your eyes?"
and it should Immediately point to
them. A child of should be able to
repeat sentences of six syllables, but
not ten. Figures, being more diff
cult than words, because they do not
convey any meaning to child of ),
are limited in the test to two, such as
six-four. When shown the pictures
which Binet uses in his tests child
OF three will enumerate the objects;
it is not possible for him TO describe
any of the action in the pictures.
At 4 child should be able to re
peat three figures, be able to tell
which is the longer of two parallel
lines, and be able to name familiar
objects when they are displayed.
Among the tests at 5 years of age
is, the comparison of weights. A 5
year old child is able to tell which
is the heavier of two blocks equa
in size and appearance, but differen
| in weight. At all children succeed
| in counting four, and at four onl!
about so per cent of the children
tested have been able to do so.-Tid

THE effect of that solemn text,
unexpected, evidently, by every one,
could hardly have been surpassed on
any occasion since its first utterance
in Galilee," said one who was present.
Every heart felt the grand promise,
the grandest of all time. Doctor Liv-
ingstone was both its witness and its
example
"The Lord is risen indeed,
He is here for your love, for your
need
Not in the grave, nor the sky,
But here where men live and die.
Ill. land PETER"
When the angel appeared to Mary
Magdalene and Mary, the mother OF
Jesus, and Salome, he told them tG
"go, tell his disciples and Peter
why did he add the name of the one
who had so recently denied his Lord!
1t is one of those evidences of Christ
tenderness and forgiveness which we
must not overlook. Doubtless the an
gel was prompted to add those two
words: "and Peter" so that Peter
might be encouraged. God is always
speaking a personal word of cheer Il
those who have failed or faltered o.
forgotten. 1t is the word which H'
is speaking to you today and shows
that He expects you to take up agall
your loyal service for Him.

New York.-Presiding over grocery |

signing apartment houses and various
other occupations of an unusual ma
ture are among those which the Lewly
organized body Of women which at
present calls itself the Committee for
the Promotion of Business Opportuni-
ties for Women, desires to open to per-
sons of its sex.
The committee, which numbers
among its members many women
prominent in the business and profess
sional world, is still too young to have
decided on permanent name.
In the meantime the members are
working assiduously' to prepare list
of new occupations and remunerative
to women.
"We would like to get as many out
door occupations as possible" explain
ed Mrs. Robert Adamson, one of the
charter members. "There is landscape
gardening, for example. That would
be splendid work and in the fresh air.
| And it would be one of which women
are we'll adapted"
"Why shouldn't women run grocery
stores or possibly butcher shops?" sug-
gested Mrs. Bruere.
"My sister has just started a restau-
rant in Booklyn, and, although it is
new, it promises to be successful"
| said Miss Grace C. Strachan, leader of
the Interborough Teachers Associa-
tion.
zone of our objects is to take care
of an oversupply of teachers" explain
ed Mrs. Charles Beard. There are so
many women who teach because they
do not think of any other thing to do.
We want to provide them with oppor-
tunities which will give them chance
to develop along lines more suited to
them, and this will give us better
brand of teacher, women who take II
UP because they like and not because
it seems the only thing to do.
at is appalling to find so many mid
dle-class women out OF work. They
rank between the professional woman
and the factory hand. There are the
ones we are most anxious to help.
zone of the most important open
ings in my opinion, is designing apart
ment houses. These are the work o
men now, and they are wretched fail
ures as comfortable places in whicl
to live. If women had hand in de
signing them l am sure there woul'
| be great improvements.
"As league we feel we are goin
{ to have a chance to force open door
: to which women have not been az
: mitted in the world of work. We d
: not intend to go out and get place
| for women. The Intercollegiate B'
+ reau of Occupation is doing that; br
e we can find new employment suite

MACHINES EXERCISE MEN.
Put Into Action Every Muscle by New
Apparatus.

Every set of muscles and every
bodily function may be strengthened
by the mechanical apparatus which
has been installed in a well known
sanitarium holding advanced ideas OF
physical exercise. AS a rule, the
acknowledgements devices simu-
late, in effect, ordinary forms of eX-
ercise. For instance, the mechanical
"horse," the motions of which In
clude the exhilarating jolting one
gets on horseback, is prescribed in
cases where the portal circulation
needs to be increased
Kneading machines, the leathern
elbows of which apply a vigorous
abdominal massage, are used in
cases where patients suffer from in
testinal inactivity. Vibratory chairs
and bars are used when it is desira
ble to increase the circulation OF
blood in the arms, hands, legs and
feet.
A jolting couch is used to helI

NEEDS
MORE TRAINING
Postpones Meeting With
Ted Lewis to Get in Bet
ter Condition.

New York, Sept. Benny Leonard
has postponed his bout with Ted
Lewis until September "a When the
original date was set for the encoun-
ter in Newark. Leonard took It for
granted that he could get enough
training through his exhibitions in the
Camp Upton show. "Yip. Zip. zap
hank" but on due consideration he
decided that an opponent Of Lewis's
caliber required his most assidious at
tention in preliminary work. Leon
ards work in the show will close on
September Il and he viii have ten
days in which to finish his training.
Leonard might have gone through
with the original plan but for wills
perings that the bout in Newark was
to be only the prelude to a similar
engagement in Philadelphia and per
haps a third meeting in the west, and
the lightweight champion would not
exert himself unduly in the opening
fracas- This rumOr angered Leonard
and he told manager Billy Gibson that
he wanted enough training time TO
put himself in the best possible condi-
ton for a knockout attempt against
the champion Of the welterwei ghts-
Leonard's action will be commended
generally, as the boxing public has
reason to look with snspician on men
who do their training in theatrical

] You are asking me quite a difficult
I question. but I think / can give YOU
. exactly the results Of the five rounds
! between the tenth. where Gundy and
] Nelson left off. and the 18th round.
where many fans would liked TO have
I seen them stop. provided both were
/ able to travel that far
I then related to the young man
I Nelson's disadvantage in weighing in
/ and told him OF the rooster Tommy
, had devoured.
1T is a well known fact 10 medical
students that eating half cooked fowl
/ on an empty stomach has very pc
culiar effects. Do you remember OF
seeing Tommy Just before the gong
rang take hold Of the ropes and
/ scratch about violently with his feet
there in his corner
Yes. did see that but didn't think
anything OF IL in particular"
Well. that was just the begin
ming. He began to make queer passes
with his feet in the third round Did
you notice how he Topped his arms
about in the sixth?"
Yes. I noticed that but"
Wait. now. I can see that your
perception is above the ordinary. You
saw what most people overlooked
. You noticed that in the seventh round
Nelson scratched about in the center
OF the ring exactly Ike an old rooster
and was about TO hop up on the ropes
and crow when Gundy hit him in the
eye and stopped it. Remember how
he lowered his head and thrust out
his neck like a rooster while fight
ing?"
yes. but"
Wait now-don't get excited. You
see eating raw rooster on an empty
stomach is dangerOus-very danger
Gus II wouldn't matter so much ex-
n =
his stomach was EMPTY. II you re-
member in the ninth round Nelson
Topped about with his wings quite a
bit and jumped off the floor twice.
When he went to his corner Billy
Smith says-and there is no more
truthful man than Australian Billy
that Nelson cooed about in a guttral
way like a rooster talking to a flock
Of hens.
Now had this bout been prolonged
there IS absolutely no doubt as TO
what would have happened; There is
bare chance that Nelson might have
jumped into Gundy and spurred his
eyes out in the 14th or 18th round. but
in all probability Gundy would have
refused to fight before that"
"Gundy quite Never. You couldn't
make him quit. Why. he fought once
four rounds with a broken arm and
won Besides
" ait uOW-Qon get excited /
don't mean that Gundy would quit
But he couldn't fail TO note Tommy's
actions. You can't fool Nick about
chicken-he can see a chicken so far
away that can't tell the color Of her
hair. The minute that he realized Nell
son was chicken. Gundy would have
offered his arm-I have seen him do
II many a time-and the two would
have walked out OF the ring stronger
than brotherly love. Referee Studer
would have been forced to call IL
draw"
But do you really believe that the
rooster would have had that much ef-
fect?"
Absolutely no doubt about It. The
books cite many similar cases. There
is no doubt whatever in cases where
the rooster is RAW and the stomach
