able cause for divorce The evidence in the case
which he had tried showed that the defendant
had not been cruel and inhuman in the sense
meant by the statute which permits legal sepa-
ration on that ground. Instead of doing what
some jurists would have done in similar case,
namely, to grant the decree, the judge admon-
ished husband and wife to forget their differ
ences make up, and begin anew their married
life with their two young children.
Many judges pirate about the divorce evil in
long utterances. If more of them would follow
Judge RUPEES example they could quickly dimin-
sh the number of divorces. Cruel and inhuman
treatment as expounded by many jurists consists
in any imaginary trouble which a plaintiff may
present. Let cruel and inhuman treatment actu-
ally be proved in the true sense of the tremin-
ology before decree is granted, and the judges
will soon not be forced to complain about the
number of divorce complaints that are filed in
circuit court.
The best way to check the divorce nuisance
is a determined Judge who will inflexibly make
the plaintiff prove his or her contention and will
not grant decree unless he knows that the ALE
cations have been demonstrated. Judges have
the power in their hands, Judge Rupe was not
led astray by few domestic differences which
may arise in any family, but was guided by the
law.
He did this county good service by publicly
telling both parties that their highest duty was
to forget their own petty differences, and with
the welfare of their children at heart return to
their home to kindle anew the fire of love on the
altar of their home.
That's what should be told hundreds of plain
tiffs for divorce in this state Instead of magn-
flying their troubles, let them minimize them,
and be forbearing and charitable toward each
other.
And little plain talk to persons applying for
licenses to wed also would be in place, if that
were possible. Entirely too many couples rush
to the clerks counter for license with the notion
in their head that if they tire of each other they
can find a way out through the divorce court.
The estate of marriage has lost its sacred es-
TEEN. Hence, the hasty marriages, and hence
also the quick decision to sue for divorce

Stimulating the Imagination
Psychologists and Editor Classify Imagination from Liter

dressed, and the general reader must
guess at the meaning. Such a message
as "Golliwog-The gold is gone
Waiting" might refer to an attempt
ed burglary, or a business deal, or it
might be a lovers sentimental way OF
saying that a trouble-making blonde
had passed out of his life.
Dr. Downey tried a series of these
items on students asking them to
construct a story from given per
sonal and classified the results &C.
cording to grades of imagination. We
quote her divisions of imagination
here because it may be of interest to
the reader to classify his own crea-
tive faculty.
The divisions are: ~ the alert
Imagination; (2) the stereotyped imafi-
nation; CD the melodramatic imagi.
nation; ca the generalizing imagi-
nation; 90 the particularizing imagi
nation; 60 the ingenious or inventive
imagination.
The last class contains persons who
construct an unusual and interesting
situation from hint such as the per-
sonals give. They avoid the obvious
conclusion which the stereotyped
imagination seizes upon. Their imagi-
nation is stimulated easily. They dc
not reject the plot germin a personal
as trivial or meaningless, as the inert
Imagination does.
The generating type of imagination
is not specific enough for fiction and
the results on paper are apt to be
distractions. This sort of magma
ton usually accompanies the scien-
tific turn of mind.
The particularizing imagination, on
the other hand is of real assistance
to fiction writing. The person who
notes the little things that distinguish
people and situations has fiction ma
terial if he can use it skillfulIy. When
the fifth and sixth types are combined
the possessor has a promising equip.
ment for creating stories.
The individual who regards himself
as lacking in imagination may be en-
couraged by the fact this faculty can
to some extent be developed. In 4
recent book on the subject Drs.
Slosson and Downey explain their
experiments in training as well as test
ing the creative imagination. They
point out that certain famous artists
deliberately stimulated their crea
tive impulse by devices:
MANY Of the minor eccentricities of
genius appear to be the outcome OF
accidental discoveries of ways of in
creasing brain activity. Rousseau and
Shelley we're given to exposing the
barred head to the hottest of midday
suns; and Whitman wrote much OF
his Leaves of Grass while prone
upon the white sands of a Long
Island beach, with such sun as only
seems to blaze there"
Music and CoIors

ened by the presence of rich fabrics
and colors.
Undoubtedly, different brains re
spond to the stimulation of different
senses. DR.. Downey tried experiments
with combinations of odors on stu
dents. Music was similarly employed
to see whether themes would suggest
striking personalities or dramatic sit
nations to the students. Setting small
groups of writer's to composing a
story together was still another ex-
pertinent Some well known writers
have produced their best work by the
social stimulation gained through col
laboration.
The experiments were not conducted
by the college professors so much for
the purpose of making scientific tables
as to show the students the character
of their imagination and its possibili-
ties. Devices such as those mentioned,
the two professors call gymnastic ex-
ercises for the Imagination. When
the subject is explored further we may
find that such exercises can be re
duced to a scientific daily dozen for
the busy and ambitious fiction writer

Putting Our House in Order

While some European financiers are devot-
ing their energies advising US about financial af-
fairs, to the neglect of their own countries, we
are fortunate in having made appreciate prog
ress in getting our house in order.
Their advice falls on barren soil when one
compares our situation with that created by an
inflated currency in most European countries.
While they have been unable to curtail their
governmental expenses, our leaders have been
looping off appropriations and reducing expendi-
lures with gratifying results, including also the
noteworthy achievement of reducing the national
debt, something that foreign countries have been
unable to do.
The imposition of additional taxes will be
fought by the administration, its leaders declare,
and no changes will be made in the existing reve-
nue. law for the present.
The American people are supporting every
effort which has for its purpose reduction in the
cost of operating the government. A healthy
tendency is noted everywhere to restore non1al
conditions and to prevent initiation.
With the American people working and striv-
ing with this end in view, the advice Of foreign
financiers seems gratuitous, and the thought
suggests itself that European leaders have a
good-sized job on their hands in looking after
their own affairs.

and poisons from the blood; then we
get sick rheumatism, headaches
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness
sleepiness and urinary disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or il
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage, or at

eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take

Q. What is the Oldest drama?

D. E. W.
A. 1t is impossible to say definitely
which is the oldest drama Certainly
one of the oldest is the Book of Job
which was written either in the last
century of Persian rule. OF shortly aft

The earliest extant Sanskrit play, The

discovered in the Vail school. A
nine-year-old boy, after the diagnosis
of the medical examiner had been YER
flied by an eye specialist, was exclud-

the premises showed there was little
chance that the boy had spread the
disease to other pupils through the

After Dinner Trick s.
No. 2s5-Fnding Chosen Card

No. 2S5-Finding Chosen Card
A pack of cards is placed beneath
napkin, so that no one can see it. Some
one is allowed to put his hand beneath
the napkin, and remove a card without
the performer seeing it. He is then
told to replace the card and square up
the pack underneath the napkin.
Although the performer has not seen
the pack, he removes it from the nap
kin, and turning his back, Immediately
finds the chosen card.
The secret is quite subtle. As soon as
the card has been taken from the pack
the performer reaches beneath the nap-
kin to square up the pack and in so
doing turns the pack over. Thus when
the SPECTATORS card is replaced It will
be rev ersed, or faced about in the pack.
When he takes the pack from the nap
kin aid turns lbs back the performer
can instantly find the chosen card.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. LII
you have read some particularly I'M
inspired fiction lately you will be glad
to know that methods of measuring
imagination are being evolved. How
to induce all the writers and would-be
writer's 10 test themselves is of course
another problem, as yet unsolved.
In recent years there has appeared
a vast literature designed to show that
anybody who is so inclined can turn
out fiction. The result of this teach
ing has been that magazine offices
are flooded with neat stories care
fully put together by rule and care
fully conforming to the psychology o.
reader and edition as the textbook ad-
vised.
Thus scarcely a fiction writer in
the country remains ignorant of the
established fact that editors abhor
blue ribbon bows on manuscript. 1t is
widely understood that rolled manu-
script Would be coldly returned IN
read. Also, few if any fiction manu-
facturers are aware that a happy end
ing is as necessary to a story as a
snappy beginning. Editors, a writer
is told, acquire the habit of reading
the first page and the last of a story
If they are aroused from their apathy
/ the interior of the manuscript may
be explored. Such beliefs have be-
come tradition among the vast circle
of fictioneers.
The creative faculty, being more
elusive, has been passed over vaguely
by most textbook writer's. 1t is as
sumed that certain amount Of imagi
nation soes with the desire to create
characters and plots. Nevertheless
most of the fiction writers who never
land simply lack flexible imagina
ton. They are encouraged by friends
and by their own judgments to weave
stories when they have no inventive
talents or when their imaginations run
along stereotyped lines.
1t must be admitted that occasionally
fiction writer's attain success in spite
of this defect. A charming style, a
knack of writing from the humoritst's
viewpoint, may raise the most hack
neyed plot out of the ordinary Gen.
orally, however, the gift of style o.
humor goes with an original and imagi-
native mind.
