PRESIDENT OF n. D. BANKERS
LEADvlLLE GIRL is
GIVEN HIGHEST SCORE
IN MENTALITY TESTS

Boston. June 2s.-Miss Constance
Bouck OF Leadville. Colo. a freshman
at Simmons college. is announced as
head Of her CLASS in general intelli-
gence. The decision was reached
through the application Of mentality
tests originated by DIR. A. A. Roback,
instructor In psychology at Harvard
university ana at Simmons.
The twelve parts Of the Roback
tests, with the exception of the anal
ogy% hard opposites and direct tests,
which. were based on familiar prin-
ciples, were devised by DIR. Roback
with the college student mind" it was
explained in announcing the award.
"One of the most interesting of the
test questions is the problems test.
designed to gauge capacity to grapple
with a practical situation. One of the
problems, for example, asks If you
were on the seventh floor of depart
ment store in a hurry to get to the
ground floor and two elevators came
at the same time, one attracting a
passengers, which would you take and
why?' The person of under-average
and some of average intelligence an
swer at once, the elevator with two
passengers, because it is easier to get
in and out Of 1t takes the superior
intelligence to reason that the fun
car will in all probability express to
the ground floor. whereas the almos,
empty one would stop on the way
down at each floor to take on more
passengers.
THE relations test was another
poser: If two first cousins were to
marry. what would be the former and
the new relationship Of Miss AS Gs-
ter's husband to Mr.. ks: Answer. for
mer relation. first cousin by marriage:
new relation, brother-ih-law. OF Mr..
x to Miss AS mother? Answer. old
relation. nephew: new, son-in-lAw. OF
Miss AS brother to Mr.. KS sister
Answer, first cousin and brothers 6
brother-in-law. OF. Mr.. KS father to
Miss AS brother? Answer, uncle and
sisters father-in-la Mr.. and Mrs.
KS child to Mr.. ks brothers child ?
Answer, second cousin, first cousin
There were ten others besides the
relations and the problems, tests to be
answered inside Of three hours.
The six highest scores were OBJ
tained by American girls of American

Immigration is one of the most vital
subjects the government has to cope
with at the present time.
Must Welcome Aliens.
AS secretary of labor" Mr.. Davis
said, "one of the greatest duties that
mas fallen to my lot Is to welcome the
incoming tide of aliens. It is expect
ed of me to sift the undesirables from
among them and send them back
whence they came. The others I am
charged with the duty of making good
citizens and good Americans.
This great department of labor I
represent could be self-supporting If
certain plans of mine go through
Every new arrival is charged head

from that and other sources more
than three million dollars last year.
The trouble is that this is dumped into
the treasury department as loose rev.
enue. a tax added to the general lump
of government resources. want that
money, along with an additional rev.
enue that we can collect easily for a
great and special purpose.
Needs New Name.
I'm the department of labor we
have bureau of naturalization that
needs, first OF all, a new and better
name. l want that called the bureau
Of citizenship. Until now we have let
the alien newcomer roam about the
country pretty much without guild
ance. I want to keep track Of the
man-not to regulate him, but to help
him. to teach him and encourage him
I'VE need to know the whereabouts
Of these people, If it is only to protec,
them from the insidious poison of red
propaganda.
ITO guard against this would have

add this to the departments funds
I'm closing. let me say to you thai

CAUSES TROUBLE
League of Nations Required
to Use Both English and
French Languages.

Geneva. Switzerland, June S.-(By
Mail. )-Obigator use of two Ian
guages French and English, in all it's
transactions, and the high cost of
living at the headquarters in Geneva
are given by the special committee in
vestigating the workings of the League
of Nations as an explanation of what
has been considered in some quarters
as the excessive cost of the organiZa-
ton. The expense for last year, as al
ready reported. was about $4,150,000.
There can be no doubt" says the
committees report. that, rightly or
wrongly. the League of Nations has
the reputation Of costing too much"
The report then goes on to explain
how the conplexity. diversity and
novelty Of the work undertaken nee
essarily costs heavily. particularly
since it is in the hands of a compare
lively young institution that lacks ex-
perience.
The dual language of the league re-
quiving translation and duplicate pub
lication of all documents alone ac-
counts for one-third Of the entire ex-
pense, the report says, then points out
that the location Of the headquarters
Of the league in Geneva accounts for
a good deal OF the excessive outlay.
Since the main purpose of the
commission of inquiry is to suggest
every form of economy" the report
says, lit feels bound to point out that
at the moment. Geneva is-and so
far as it is possible to foresee will re-
main-a city in which the cost Of liv-
Ing is comparatively higher than In
almost any city in Europe. and where
the rate of exchange is, at the mo-
ment Of writing, the most disadvan-
Ftageous for the great majority OF
states members of the league"
The report suggests that were the
league headquarters located at Brus.

Little Excitement In Today's
Session; Lemke Admitted
Tuesday That He Owned
Seventy Per Cent OF Stock
In Consumers Stores Com,

(By star Correspondent }

\ Bismarck, N d. June 2s.-Prac-

the Scandinavian-Ameri bank of
Fargo, including the making Of papers

to q Duluth bank in order to boost
the apparent reserve Of the Fargo. In

OF j. w. Brinton on a perjury charge
here today.

session was Of little interest. coming
as a sharp contrast to the sensations
OF Tuesday afternoon when Attorney
General William Lemke admitted his
ownership Of 70 per cent Of the stock
OF the Consumers United Stores COM
pany and that funds Of the Stores
company had been toaned to the Nam
partisan league.
The alleged dealings with the Du-
luth bank are those for which H. J.
Hagen. president of the Scandinavian
American bank Of Fargo, was convict
ed on a criminal charge in the Cass
county district court a year or more
ago.
The conviction was later set aside
by Judge M. j. Englert. and new
trial ordered. Since then William j.
Lemke has succeeded William Langer
has taken place. b.

ney general. in charge of the prosecu-

the Ulster premier and four other
eminent Irishnen outside Of De-
valera's party, asking them to meet
him at the Mansion house in Dublin
on Monday for conference.
The other men invited by the Re-
publican leader were Earl Middleton,

its Irish policy of home rule; Sir
Robert Henry Woods. member OF par

all appeared TO go directly against him.
Lewis, though still a great outfield-
er, has never shown his old Boston
form. Before he went TO New York
Lewis was ranked among the best. He
broke his ankle sliding into a bag last
summer and Higgins figured he would
be too slow for the Yanks this year.
Roth, the temperamental outfielder
who has played on every American
league club except Detroit and st.
Louis, had the speed that Higgins
wanted. Hence the trade.
What looked like a good trade for
Higgins has worked out the other
way, according to the mathematics in
the case.
Mogridge will likely tame the Yanks
again when they meet and Lewis and
his bat will cause the New York
pitchers trouble.
MOgridge knows what the Yank bat
tiers can't hit. Lewis knows what
Yank pitchers have got.
