Held With Split Watch

Sixteen institutions of higher educa-
ton throughout the country, including
Columbia and New York University,
yesterday gave psychological tests to
thousands of candidates for ad-
mission, instead Of the old style formal
examination.
At Columbia University, where stu
dents were allowed to choose between
the two methods of determining their
fitness for entering, more than half
took the mental test. Of the first batch,
200 took the psychological test, while
1877 preferred the time honorcd "quizz."

were perfected by Professor L. L.
Thorndike, of Columbia, and were used
extensively in examinations for mill
tary and naval service during the war

with the powers of perception and OBJ

the smallest square in beVy OF

meanings in jumbled collection, TO
unravel sentences. One set required
the harried student to pick the proper
answer to a question out of four pos

Certain fish can
be caught only
by nets

because they will not bite at bait
on a hook. Where fish are plenti-
full, the fisherman and others are
full oe fish stories. (Some one once
said that if every mullet was
brick, they could be used to build
a sea wall three feet thick and ten
feet high around Tampa Bay)
There are many fish stories in
the air in Florida, where the
waters of the great Gulf Of
Mexico are so bountifully popu-
lated with large and small fish.
Some of the fishing nets are
made for large fish only, that the
little fish may escape and mot
be a bother.'
Some business nets are made spc-
cially to catch the weak-minded
and lean-pockctbook people, and
with the idea if they can get the
poor and ignorant (the crowd, as it
is called), they are on the best
shighway; whereas the people with
least money have greatest need to
buy only the goods that will last
longest and look we'll as long as
they last, if properly cared for.

A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind Of
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
if you can, with bottle of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure a good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoratlon in the morning.
But if you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparingly of simple food
and take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep it handy.--Adv.
