.KOSLOFFS REUNITED
AFTER 7-yEAR WAIT
Dancer and Wife, Who Was De-
tanned at Ellis Island, Meet
in Los Angeles. ~

LOS ANGELES, March 11.-After
separation, Theodore Koslofr and his
wife, Kotia Kosloff, who was detained
at Ellis Island because of their In
valid child. were reunited yesterday
when the Overland express arrived at
2 o'clock. Mrs. Koslon said:
when my husband and I said
good-by to each other in Russia seven
years ago we knew we would not see
each other for many months, perhaps
1t would be a year. He came to
America to make a home for us. l
took baby and went to England.
DREAM CONES TRUE.
For the first two years everything
was in such an unsettled condition
we could not even plan. At the end
of that time we began planning for
my coming to America and today the
dream has come true.
For five years / have looked for
ward to this moment. For Ave years.
while I worked and studied and cared
for our little daughter. I have dream
ed of this day when I would see my
husbands face again, when his arms
WOulu once HuOTe nOlu me. IOudt
when the train arrived and saw him
standing outside on the platform I
almost swooned with Joy before !
could reach him.
"Out Of the great anguish suf-
fered at Ellis Island when I thought
they were going to send me back to
Europe. a wonderful new Joy and
thankfulness has been born. After
the articles published in the Exami.
ner here and in the New York Ameri-
can. all America became my friend
and sent me hundreds of letters and
kilograms.
BABY NOT so I'LL.
THE reports about our baby's sick
ness have been greatly exaggerated
and we have every reason to believe
that in a very short time she will
be entirely restored to health"
All the time his wife was speaking
Theodore Koslof stood looking al
her. n smile on his lips. Finally he
said:
II do not talk much today. For a
very long time I have lived in a world
'all empty. all silent. Today the
world is very full of music. She
likes all the things l had waiting for
her to surprise her.
81 have already driven through
Hollywood in the new car I got for
her, she has heard some OF her own
Russian music and we have just been
playing with the two white baby
pigeons"

THE HOUR WHEN MANS BRAIN is AT ITS BEST

day to utilize only the more efficient hours
il has been found practical to chop off only
from the afternoon end
IF we could persuade people TO continue
getting up in the morning at the same time
that they do now" said one engineer, 1--WE
could start the working day later. They
could do their warming up before they came
to the Office. But human nature isn't like
that. If began at 10 o'clock every man
would stay in bed until he just had time TO
reach the office. It's the way or the world.
Random expressions of opinions from pri-
vate individuals are not authoritative by any
means but they are sometimes illuminating.
Take for instance the golfers. Some men
insist that they can never "get going" in
the morning. while others have the constant
excuse that they can "never do anything
in an afternoon round" And there is one
particular golfer with whim all his own.
II always feel like playing just after
have sunk my putt-on the last hole" he
complains. 'and then there is nothing to be
ether round"
We know certain poker players whose ex-
pressions are as void of intelligence at 10
o'clock in the morning an army mule.
Yet those same expressions gathered around
the table at 80 in the evening fairly sciD

by continual work; processes involving CO.
ordination are first accelerated and then re-
tarded again. approaching their original
speed; processes essentially mental in char

In other words-to get the matter back
into the layman's tongue--a Ford car can
perform more nearly as Packard toward
the end of a run: telephone operator can
expect hardly more than a brief lucid in
terval during her day at the board, and
the average sermon must trail off into mere
words after the first half hour. 1t is we'll
to have these things explained, even if it
does mean plunging rather deeply into
psychology
One of the most thoroughgoing discussions
of the subject is contributed by Howard d.
Marsh, professor at City College. in paper
written several years ago, in which he
sought to discover if there were normally
recurring variations of ability at different
periods of the day.
"As to strength" he wrote in a brief sum-

The table follows:

The significance of these figures is readily
apparent to any one-the ofnins peak the
afternoon peak and the sluggish period in
duced by the noon meal. The main point is
that the psychologists have reached out and
put their finger on the exact hour of the
day when the brain may be expected TO
attain its maximum efficiency The idea
has unlimited possibilities.
ii every knew the moment when
the brain would make its nearest approach
to greatness there would be tremendous
salvaging of wasted energy. Without hesi-
t.tion man would make his important
business appointments for exactly that hour;
he would reserve trying explanations to his
wife for the high pitch Of his brain capacity;
ne would in all instances make out his i'm
come tax report during the banner hour
OF his day All things considered, this burst
OF confidence on the part Of the British
psychologists is an act or pure brotherhood I
provided of course. the table is accurate
and can stand up under the pressure Of
ligid cross examination.
