PUZZLES AND BRAINS

The Teachers College of Columbia University, in
New York is conducting a series of crossword puzzle
for grammar schools, high Schools colleges and
professional schools. The purpose is to find out
whether working crossword puzzles is really edu
cational-whether it develops and equips the brain
for general usefulness is waste of time and brain
power and whether the puzzles should be introduced
into all the school
The world may await patiently the result of this
undertaking. But from general observation of the
way human brains function any observer may hazard
guess at the Forthcoming conclusions of the hghbroW
expermenters.
They will probably discover again the familiar
fact that learn to do anything by doing it, increas
ing by experience mental power and facty-for
doing the same thing. Also that there may be
slight by-product of power and skill which be
turned to the doing of other mental tasks.
In other words, the chief benefit from doing
word puzzles will be added ability to do crossword
puzzles. So if that is ones chosen life work very
well-go ahead and keep everastingly at it.
If it is more important to gain power and facility
in mathematics, language work history, geography,
physics chemistry, ETC., then perhaps the schools had
better concentrate on them For besides being useful
in themselves, they are likely to develop the
learners mental powers generally, because they repre-
sent organized systems of human knowledge which fit
naturally into each other in the development of all
round education
Crossword work merely gives glimpse here and
there as the puzzle fan chases words and synonyms
through the dictionary and encyclopedia, and the
suit is not organized knowledge but sort of verbal
chaos tending to Observation-Disclosures The thing
developed is the will to keep at thing not worth keep
ing at, except for tiTne-kng purposes.

Many Motorists
Now Ship Autos
When on a Tour

\ steady increase is marked among
motorists who ship their ears by
rail or water to this section from
eastern points, according to reports
from the forwarding department of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California. A notable increase was
made last year and it is expected
that new records will be establish
ed i'll 1925.
BY grouping motor ears for ship
mcnt at any one of the Al central
stations throughout the country
designated by the club, consid-
erablc saving in freight charges is
made by the shipper. Last year this
method of enjoying motoring in
Southern California was adopted by
% per cent more car owners than
the previous year. During 1924,
1865 automobiles were handled by
the forwarding department of the
club.
Chicago leads all cities in the mum
Der of shipments to and from South
ern California. These totalled 347
in 1924, and New York was second
with total of l66. Denver and Colo
RADIO points followed with 14O ship
ments, with Minneapolis close be-
hind with 1876.
One of the interesting features of
the report shows that % tourists
from the Hawaiian Islands brought
their own. cars with them for use
in this section. Various foreign
countries contributed their quota,
as the records show cars from Eng
land, CANDIDA, Japan, France, Hol-
land and Mexico.
The department figures show fur
ther that not only are eastern mo-
t0ists taking advantage of the
saving in shipping their cars
through club agencies, but that
Southern Californlans are acquiring g
the habit of taking their cars with
them when they go east or to for
eign countries for extended visits.
There were so per cent more ship
ments east bound in 1924 than dur
ing the previous year.
1t is estimated that these ship
meats Ill carload lots effected, Il

Collector Gets
No Instructions
On Tax Decision

"There has been considerable
speculation among taxpayers, - said
Collector of Internal Revenue Rex b
Goodcell, yesterday, with respect
to the expected decision reported,
in newspaper articles, to have been
rendered by Attorney General
Stone, in regard to the California
community property law and its ap-
plieation to income tax returns
made by California taxpayers.
II have received no instructions
whatever, and officially do not
know of any decision having been
rendered. Under the present status
of the ease, since the withdrawal
of Attorny General Daugherty de-
cision it is not permissible for hus-
band and wife TO file separate re-
turns of income from community
property.
1.-The better plan" continued
Collector Goodeell, "would be for
such husband and wife to file a
joint return, and if, later, a decision
IS rendered favorable to the taxpay-
or, under California community
property law, he has a recourse i'll
the filing of an amended return and
Il claim for refund of any amount
over paid.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JOHN
ME SEEDS

Outside of Uncle Wiggily S hol-
low stump bungalow grew a. tall
apple tree. Near the very top of
the tree some old, dried apples hung.
The apples were SO high that, in
the summer, no one had cared TO
climb after to pick. Now it was
winter, the apples were withered
and shriyeled, but inside each one
were many ripe. brown seeds, al
most as good as chestnUts.
"Do you want those old apples
and their seeds that grow in your
apple tree?" asked Blue Jay bird
of the rabbit gentleman one day.
when snow covered the earth and
food was hard to find.
1.-The apples are OF no use to
me, = answered the bunny gentle
man with a kindly twinkle cf his
pin knose. Il can t even reach
them.
"Then III take them said
the Blue Jay bird. 50 all winter
long, each day, the bird flew up
into the tree and ate a few apple
seeds, which kept him from starry
ing.
Now il happened one day, when

the bunny gentleman, when the
squirrel boy had asked the qucs-
tion.
"Thcrc! What did I tell you?"
screamed the Blue Jay bird. "And
now, for tgking my apples seeds,
Johnnie the squirrel, I'm going to
nip your tall"
The bifd made swoop for the
squirrel boy, but Johnnie gave Il
flying leap out Of the tree down
into a drift Of snow near Uncle
Wiggily's bungalow steps.
"I'n get you!" cried the bird,
flying down
But just as the Blue Jay was
going TO nip Johnnic's tail, ont of
the bushes sprang the Fuzzy Fox to
nibble Uncle Wiggily's ears. And,
seeing the Fox, the Blue Jay said:
"I'll nip your tail, Mr.. Fox, and
let Johnnie go. After all you are
worse than he isl" SO the Blue
Jay swooped' at the Fox and the
bad chap was so frightened at the
screaming bird that away he ran,
and so he didn't nibblc the bunny
after all.
Then the bird laughed, seeing
the Fox run away, and the Blue Jay
said:
"I'n forgive you for taking my
sedds, Johnnie. After all, there
are more than L need. Have an
other apple"
So the squirrel boy took some
seeds home to his brother Billie and
Uncle Wiggily sent a piece of cab
bage cake to Mrs. Bushytail. So
everybody was happy except the
Fox. And if the egg beatcr doesn I

REDUCE FIRE HAZARDS

Fire Insurance rates of city or town cannot be
lowered until the physical hazard is lessened.
The water supply must be adequate, the number
of fire hydrants sufficient for rapid and efficient fire
fighting, old buildings of easily infammabe char
acter of construction must be torn down and is very
important that rubbish and trash be not allowed to
accumulate.
This fact is being more widely recognized and, in
stead of demanding lower rates, cities are looking
around for ways and to decrease their fire haz
ards so that reduced rates will be warranted.

WHY ADVERTISED STORES
SUCCEED

WHEN a store advertises judi
w ciously, it attracts public atten-
ton and it increases it's business. But
the increase of receipts is not usually
equalled by a corresponding increase
of expense. Most stores could double
their business without doubling the
number of clerks, or doubling their
rent, light, heat and other charges.
Consequently the charge per article
for this so-called Overhead expense
keeps decreasing as the business
grows. If receipts double, and costs
of doing business increase only so
per cent, it is manifest that the ov-
erhead cost for each article sold IS
proportionately less. AS volume of
business increases, the business is
more economically done, and the cost
of moving each separate article is
reduced. The public gets the differ
ence in lower prices.
The advertised store tells the pub
lie what bargains it has, while the
non-advertised store does not.
A live, enterprising merchant, who
is a good, shrewd, wide awake buy
er, has bargains all the time. 1t is
his principal job to keep on the look
out for special opportunities. He
watches the trade papers like a hawk,
he quizzes statesmen. If he is on his
job he is continually making a wise
selection between good and poor Of
fers, and always has things in his
store that represent exceptional val
ues.
The public hears about these ex-
ceptional chances in the advertised
store. 1t is not sold and does not rea-
lie that such chances exist in the
non-advertised store, even if that
store has them. The public then pass
es by the non-advertised store, be-
cause nothing has been suggested to
convince anyone that anything is to
be gained by trading there.

IN LAST weeks paper there was
an item about an automobile &C.
cident at the foot of the Lincoln hill,
in which Mr.. DuBuc's car was
smashed up. The item stated that Mr..
DuBuc assumed all responsibility. On
the contrary, Mr.. DuBuc says that he
was in no way responsible, that his
car had been stopped completely and
but for that fact it is likely that the
Hatch car would have turned over in

THERE are now over 100000

resenting purely voluntary invest
ment by the American people of at
least IL billion dollars. The cost of
operating these vehicles in 1925 will

average mileage 1000 at 1Oc per mile.
If we can save just one cent per We

roads (and this can be done), we
would save $3.50, OO0,O per year,
and this saving will increase as the
number of cars increases. Even this
