Third Degree!

Some say more nonsense is remem-
bered than anything else. You will
have a chance to find out whether this
is so or not by trying this test.
The idea is TO see whether you can
hold some meaningless syllables in
your mind sufficiently long to repeat
them after you have heard them once.
Directions: Have some one pro-
nounce these nonsense syllables dis
tinctly and separately at the rate of
one syllable per second. Then you
are to attempt to repeat them. Begin
with the easiest group containing three
nonsense syllables. Then try the next.
Three syllables. wo-del-mor; si-ka-
moo.
Four syllables: wi-po-ne-cum: bu-
por-ab-k.
Five syllables: 1a-pe-sel-h-nu; cor

rs true the great Creator made

For instance, when there's sadness,

An inkle of a twinkle seems to very
frankly state that the heart is full

Spreading smiles is quite a tonic,
