BRAIN TESTS.
BY Sam Lloyd.
12 Minutes to Answer This.

Casey says: II am satisfied
that some cows have more sense
than the average man. My old
brindle was standing five feet
from the center of the bridge
when she spied the lightning
express, just twice the length of
the bridge from the entrance,
coming at ninety-mile-an-
hour clip. She did not waste
the forty-eleventh part OF
second in idle speculation, but
just dashed toward the train
and saved herself by the narrow
margin of one foot. whereas, II
she had followed the human
instinct OF running away from
the train, three inches of her
rear would have been caught on
the bridge. 1t would be a great
thing II some people who are
slow in making up their minds
were placed ip the position of
that COW, when they had to
think quick"
Can you figure outthe length
Of that bridge?

action to take with regard TO the
Daugherty injunction against the

Council members were In an ex-
ceedingly bitter and aggressive
~mood as they went into session.
They made it plain that every effort
would be exerted TO nulllfy the
injunction.
Daugherty's statement that he
would seek a modification of the in
junction when he appeared before
Judge Wilkerson to make It perma-
nent was hailed as an admission
that constitutional rights had been
violated.
I'VE will concentrate our fight on

said, 1T is pure despotism."
Among the other outstanding Is
sues before the council is the ques-
ton OF a general sympathetic strike,
a move to impeach Daugherty for
securing the Injunction and a fight
against child labor.
There is no likelihood OF the coun-
ell recommending a general strike. in
spite of the strong demand wftnin

Labor leaders feel that such n
strike would result only in injurIng

that they can assist the strikers |
more by lending their moral and in-

What this test will be was ex-
planned 20 NEA Service by Professor

peditlon, Just before he sailed. The

THE thing .Einstein has predict
ed" explains Professor Campbell. sis
that during this eclipse certain stars
occupying a position in the sky
near the sun viii seem to be dis
placed slightly away from the sun.
Absolute proof OF the theory can
be secured only during a total eclipse
of the suh, for under such a condl-
tion the light of the sun is hidden
and It Is then possible TO photograph

What we are testing is one of
