BOY PRODIGY HAS
 HIGH SCHOOL MARK
Unusual Psychological Performance Given By Si.tcen-YcarOld Fresh man.

State College, Pa, Dec. 12-An- other youthful prodigy was unearthed in collegiate circles yesterday when sixteen year old freshman at the Pennsylvania State College attained an unprecedented record in psycho-
 ogical test given all first year stud ents.
 He is Bertram Donald Holderman, son of A. E. Holderman of Pittsburg. In twenty-three minutes Of the half hour allowed for the test he made a score Of 163 out of a possible 16S, a feat declared by psychologists to happen only once in several thousand ca ses.
 Holderman, the youngest student in college, had previously shown ability as an unusually bright student. Another psychological test was the means of his receiving a scholarship here This test was taken under the auspices of the Civic Club of Ale geny County. His record caused the committee to approach Penn state alumni in Pittsburg and secure the scholarship. He Is enrolled in the School of Liberal Arts.
 Dr. D. A. Anderson, head Of the department of education and psychoI- ogy. who supervised the freshman tests, says that of 1000 students in forty colleges who have taken this fest only two have made a score that could compare with HoIderman's re- 6ord established in twenty-three min utes. In 13,0oO tests only eight have scored 160 or better.

Apply Sulphur as Told When Your
 Skin Breaks Out

Any breaking out of the skin on face, neck, arms or body is overcome quickest by applying Mentho-Sul phur. The pimples seem to dry right up and go away, declares a noted skin specialist.
 Nothing has ever been found to take the place of sulphur as a pinple remover. It is harmless and ineY- pensive. Just ask any druggist for q small jar of Mentho-S Sulphur and use 1t like cold cream.

SCOUT CAMP IN FRANCE

return from France where he estab-
lished camp school Of scouting for
the boys Of the devastated regions at
the invitation Of the American Com
mittee for Devastated France, said
that although France Is recovering
very decidedly and very energetically
from the effects of the war, the one
thing that Is needed is concerted ef-
fort and coordination by the many DIFF
ferent groups which are working along
practically the same lines. This, he
says, is especially noticeable in the
scout work and Red Cross In France.
There are three Red Cross organ
izations," said Mr.. Barclay, ''all with
the same detectives but managed by

cooperation one from the other. The

CHAPTER viii.

Webster's trunk went aboard the
steamer early the following morning.
and at noon he entered taxi with his
hand baggage and was driven to the
levee where La Estrellita lay Juggling
gently at her mooring lines. Owing to
the congestion of freight and traffic the
chauffeur stopped his cab little dis
lance from the gangplank, where
Webster discharged him with a liberal
tip.
The latter, however, swung It's
passengers bag and suitcase to the
ground, picked them up and started
for the gangplank.

gangplank the purser's clerk halted
him, examined his tickets and punched
them.

The lovers were walking slowly,

the girl had come, so with courtesy

him, Webster stepped out Of sight be-

evidently they had sought their early

the square was likely to be deserted

The young man was speaking as
they passed; his voice was rich, pleas

what he had to say: with pretty

slashed at spears Of grass alongside

entered a path that led from them at

the two Central Americans he had

days previous.
They were not walking as walk two
men abroad at this hour for con-
stitutional. Neither did they walk as
walk men churchward bound. A
slight, skulking air marked their prog
ress, and caused Webster to wonder
idly what they were stalking.
He turned into the path down which
the two men had passed, not with the
slightest idea Of shadowing them, but
because his destination lay in that

"That advice sounds eminently fair

him, and was about to follow when he
observed that the young man had
abandoned his pretty little silver
