The Human Side

Wood knows how to appeal to
young men. Civilian soldiers OF
the seth and 10th divisions, which
he trained, all swear by him.
One youngster Of the seth de.
clared that every man in the di-
vision and there were 10000
men in it-had a feeling that
Leonard Wood was looking after
his interest personally. And so
he was, but of course with thou
sands of soldiers under his charge
the great triumph was that with.
out making any attempt to do 50,
Wood was able to impress the in,
dividual soldier with the feeling
that he had his welfare at heart
and would see to it that every
thing possible and proper was
done for him.

MILWAUKEE GIRL TELLS
FIBS BY HEART BEATS

No one can "fib" to Miss Marion
Hill M lwaukee senior at the uni
yersity Of Wisconsin and expect to-
get away with it.
Miss Hill is possessed OF gift all
her own. She reads ones thought by
feeling the heart beats. 1t is an ac-
compIishment which, according to
Prof. F. G. Sharp, assistant instructor
of psychology at the university, who
discovered the girls powers lis pos
sessed by very few.
If anyone tells Miss Hill something.

not the simon pure truth, she simply

Miss Hill is senior in the college.
of letters and science. Her father,
DR.. Warren Hill, former head of the
milwaukee Medical college, moved
from Milwaukee to Rectory, Va,
about year ago.
1t was while studying psychology
under Prof. Sharp that he discovered
her new art. Prof. Sharp explains
it on the theory that every thought
has a slight, almost unpreceptible
muscular reaction that not one In
1OO.0 900 persons are able to detect.
Miss Hill first began to experiment
p al afo n in
Kappa Sigma Sorority. They thought
it joke at first, but when by merely
placing her finger tips about their
wrists or at times on the backs OF their
necks she read their thoughts with
uncanny precision, she finally was in
duced to display her powers before
the entire class.
Before Miss Hill entered the class
room a girl from first year class
total stranger to her, was brought
in. It was arranged that she concen-
trate her thought on the removal Of
small wooden pin from notch ON
one side of the blackboard and plac-
ing it in another notch on the oppo-

Miss Hill was led into the room
blindfolded. She had never seen the
girl, but placing her fingers about her
wrist, she without hesitation led her
to the blackboard where she quickly
removed the pin from the given notch
and placed it in the notch oh the other

pertinent was nerfect in every detail

ARE YOU GOOD AT RIDDLES?

Here is clever riddle OF SeVeIai
generations ago, suggested by Mrs. &.
B. Eustis, Woodland, Calf:
There was a man of Adams race
Who had certain dwelling place,
A house complete, well covered DER,
Where mortals never dwelt before.
1t was no rock, no cave, no den,
But curiously twas wrought within.
1t was not in heaven or in he'll,
Nor on earth where mortals dwell.
Pray, if you know this man of fame,
Tell where he lived and what his
name.
Stop here and try to guess who the
man was and what his strange home
must have been; don't spoil your fun
by reading on until you come to the
answer-which is, Jonah in the belly
of the whale Eve had to reveal the
secret because we just knew that lots
OF folks would fail to discovered 1t and
would come to us for help later

advised Of the names and locations of

made for the purpose of ascertaining

The cotton seed crushers are es-

hearing, will be represented. The
hearing; will begin at O'clock, and

Reciprocal demurrage is the charge
allowed before the government Oper-

placing freight cars, after request for

murrage lies in the fact that it will
