 Would End Uncertainty
 The question before us now," said Senator Hitchcock, "is not a choice between the Versailles treaty and the pending treaty but between, the pend ing treaty and a protraced uncertaiDl ty without any treaty"
 Declaring that the American a torate had commissioned foreigy affairs to President Harding, Senator Hitchcock continued:
 T cannot bring myself to vote against the ratification of this treaty when I know that the only alternative will be to prevent peace settlement with Germany and will leave every thing in state of uncertainty. This existing state of uncertainty is dis a.strous and I for one shall not vote to prolong it. One of the necessary steps to end it is peace settlement with Germany and the resumption of busi- ness relations with that great country.
 Peace is Essential
 The first necessary step to end this tntolerable uncertainty is a peace settlement. The uncertainty was not ended by the Knox resolution; it can not be ended in any other way than by a treaty with Germany ~+" and I am for ratification of this treaty because the peace settlement is the supreme need Of the hour.''
 Senator Hitchcock said that the pending treaty protacted AnaArican. in

Psychology of Laughter.

In the psychology of laughter one
traces the development of humor
through it's many stages, showing the
close relation between the appreci-
alton of the tribe and the enjoyment
of the nursery. Children laugh some
what in the manner Of savages, not
being able, because of their limited
experience, to see the subtle shades OF
q joke that are only discernible in a
high type of mental development.
Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" has much
satire in it which the girl and boy
luckily cannot fathom; it takes
sophisticated mind to understand It.
But the adventures among the Lllll-
putians and Brobdingnagians are class
les in the nursery. So it l. in the larg-
err aspects of laughter. The crowds crowd
will respond to coarser type OF shu

MEDICINE MAN NOT "A FAKER
According to English Scientist, He
Deals in the Occult, and With
High Moral Intent.

( { -
The medicine man, as known to the
ancients and to the aborigines OF
America, Africa and other lands, was
no faker or humbug or quack, accord
ing to DR.. Marrett of the University
of Oxford (England). In a book on
Psychology and Folklore he describes
the Australian bushman's lamentations
to drive out of mans head the crys-
tai that has caused his disease, after
which he produces in his hand piece
of crystal, apparently out of the suf-
ferer's head.
Neither he nor the patient nor the
patients friends is deceived; they
all know that he has had the crystal
iii his hand or up his sleeve all the
time and that he has been acting
Enthusiastically Or symbolically through
ol.t the incantation. The crystal is
symbol of the mischief within the
head. What the medicine man really
does is to set the good magic influence
or mama" within himself to combat
the bad mama affecting his patient
He, in fact, deals in the occult, but he
does so with high moral intent, and
has attained to the power of so deal
ing only after severe training, inyoly
ing fasting, isolation and all the Other
miseries of a special initiation.

CHAPTER VII

Lester Lloyd Simpson-Simp for short-was better at swinging a bat than a towel. One round of him in Tuffy Doyle's corner made that plain. He was assisting me in seconding our Wildcat middleweight in his bout against a Fir Forks champ, but he was about as much use as a set of opera glasses to a blind man. He up set the water bucket, and Tapped towel as if his arms were broken.
 Come on! Come on there, Simp." exhort- Turn over in your grave, or I'll be paging Sir Oliver Lodge to look you up."
 l was not in a blithe and merry mood. Not only had the vanishing of V. Morgan Brewster fussed me up. but the Saturday night smoker was proving the bunk. Muddy Clay had gone four very ladylike rounds with a poor local dub. Muddy din't have the heart to cut him to pieces.
 An now Tuffy Doyle was mingling with another ignorant boy. In the first minute he busts the kid on the chin so hard that he scares him stiff, and 1t hurt Tuffy to go on with the mill.
 It's murder to cut loose on a yoke like that" Tuffy growls. I'm afraid 10 crash him in cold blood"
 You knock him cold,' I whispered, as the gong rang for the second round. NO use InOnkeylnR around Wllu IlIii But Doyle wouldn't smear him. The go was as tame as the bout before it. and l could hear the crowd razzing us good and plenty
 A regular ringster would have pounded either of those tyros with Iout mercy and never felt a twinge of conscience My college gladiators couldn't bring themselves to look at 8 mill from the cold -blooded viewpoint of an old fighter. So two cheesy con tests resulted.
 | I hoped the wrestling bout between 1 Tiny Crumb and Logger Budge. whicf wound up the show would provide 2 few thrills
 As boxers, our boys are great bal players murmurs Freddy Hopper, oul publicity expert who was with us 1T Fir Forks, and who already knew every blind pig in the place.
 Crump's graphing rival, Logger Budge. was a powerful monster, re markedly muscular.
 That big OK is strong" I tell Tiny l Hell give you real workout, but yot oughta be able to fox him."
 At the end of an hour. however, wher the time limit was up, neither man has secured a fall Tiny had severa chances. but failed to grab 'em ant once or twice that big bull hat bounced our outfielder around brett, trough.
