ALlENISTS CAN BE WRONG
Ample Proof That Even Most Able
of Psychologists Are by No
Means lnfallible.

You will not find the word moron"
as used by psychologists and alienists,
in many dictionaries, for 1t is a word
coined only very recently to describe
a certain type of person who is men
tally defective although not insane.
Col. T. Easily Smith of the selective
service board, Washington, made lit
tie speech at the Atlantic City meet
ing of the American Medical associa-
ton in which he rather "guyed" his
professional associates on the way
they judged man TO be moron or
sub-normal in intelligence.
After relating how the board OF
psychology had set certain soldier
down as having the mind of a five
year-old child, he drew hearty laugh
at the expense of his colleagues by
adding that this same board had ana
lyzed the intellect of a certain men,
Der of President Wilson's cabinet and
had pronounced it to be on the level
of a twelve-year-old, and had in the
same way set down an eminent gen
eral in command of one of our armies
abroad as a ten-year-old in intelli-
gence.

Brine Gifts to France.

A delegation from Abyssinia bearing
rich gifts of ivory and silks for the
announced purpose of congratulating
France on her recent victory, appeared
at the peace conference in Paris. This
is in strict accordance with the ancient
oriental procedure. The real purpose
of visit is not disclosed until prelim-
mary ceremonies are concluded. These
native MISUNDERSTANDING descent from
Solomon and the queen of Sheba-
wished to be in on the carving up OF
the world, for they have interests
which are vital to them although little
known to the rest of the world. Seat
ed in that natural bastion of Africa,
the Abyssinians have lived in greater
or less security for unknown centuries.
They are not negroes, but a mixture
of Hamitic and Semitic races, with a
culture Of their own and processing the
Christian religion, being a branch OF
the Coptic church of Egypt. Until re-
Gently they have been unmolested save
by native tribes.

IS. 0. S." CALL FOR DENTIST
Residents IT Alaskan Island Need
Services of Man Skilled with
Drills and Forceps.

Is any dentist hunting for q loca-
ton? Here's one. 1t is on Afognak,
an island lying east of the entrance Of
Cooks inlet, on the Alaskan coast.
While the icebergs float around oc-
casionally and bump one another in
the sea ike giant monsters in a game
of water polo, yet it is comparatively
warm up there now, as the summer is
coming on with its flowers and mos
quitoes. But whether an Arctic win
ter or a brief summer is on, people
win have the toothache up there near
the Arctic circle the same as do the
sweltering residents these days along
the thirty-sixth parallel of latitude.
Miss Virginia Clark, an accom-
plished young woman who was born
and reared on the island of Afognak,
and Is now teaching the youth of her
native land and village, sends out this
cry for dentist. The information is
given in a bulletin of the Alaska Bu-
reau of Publicity:
"a dentist located here would have
a snap" is the only information given
out by Miss Clark. She gives no clew
as to the financial standing of the
patients, but the lucky dentist could
no doubt fight off the H. c. L. night
mare by doing q piece of dental work
for an Eskimo and taking his pay In
walrus meat. Miss Clark does say
that potatoes and garden truck thrive
there, the fishing is good, and there
are plenty of CLANS and wild ducks.
Copper also is found in paying guam
titles, and placer gold mining is being
successfully carried on along the
beaches.

Keeps Off Potato suas.

And now comes a prophet, who
arises in Missouri, and has published
in a number of papers the following
news for the especial benefit Of those
who detest to chase the elusive potato
bug: IF a soup bean or two is
dropped into each hin Of potatoes
when they are planted the potato bug
will not bother them. and besides your
crop of potatoes you win get one Of

who has tried this experiment for five
years and has never been bothered
with bugs while his neighbors lost
their crops. The bugs don't Ike the

Late the other night on a street car
a soldier was going home for the first
time. He was happy and proud. And
his reason for being proud: there was
wound stripe on his right arm.
One man said TO him: Where were
YOU wounded" The soldier replied ,
Il was hit IN the back with piece
of she'll" The man gave short laugh
and said: "A funny place to get hit (;
which way were you going?"
1t is needless 20 ~ay that the soldier
hit the man and here IS what the sol
der said: IF there are any more Of
