Arkansas Students
Assign IrUin Cobb
Many Occupations

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. II
Whether Irwin Cobb is baseball
player an author or composer
proved confusing to many students
at the University of Arkansas. when
pressed for a hasty answer, and many
of them during a recent test were
inclined to believe that he was Babe
Ruth's closest rival for fame i'll the
annals of. the national sport.
The test was given to freshmen by
the bureau of tests and measure
ments at the University of Arkansas
under the direction of ~ +. NJ. Jor-
dan. The questions and problems
given the students to solve are the
tests in the army and are PROFOUND
ed to students as they enter the uni
versity each year,
Among other unusual answers
given by freshmen this year were:
The claVicle is located in the abdo-
men: a Papuan has eight legs; en-
eralds are obtained from oyster
shells. and a spark plug is in a car
buretor.
The object of the tests is to de-
termine the quiCkness of perception
of the individual and his general
knowledge rather than his knowledge
along any particular branches of
study. The results of last years
tests when checked up by the rec
ords have shown that students abili-

who have lost fathc", mother iand

tinue to live. must be cared for until
they are old enough and strong
enough to care for themselves. Their
own people can give them no assist
ance because of the condition To
which they have been reduced by
their long continued persecution by
the brutal Turk.
The Armenians were once happy

ter is such that IL helped now they
viii soon be in position to help
themselves. But startling as it may
seem the fact nevertheless is that
they are in danger OF becoming ex-
tinot unless the assistance which we
are now giving them is continued.
and one of the most effectual ways
by which we can assist them, and
which will appeal most strongly to
US is to care for their helpless chill

Five dollars a month will feed,

by their past the amount necessary
