WHERE does real intelligence

essentially from the instinct" OF
lower animals?
In the laboratories Of many
psychologists, who work on the
principle that seeing 10 believing.
the experiments are generally
tried upon animals low in rank,
instead of upon those that in
outside appearance most resemble
man. But 1t is an enormously
long range from rats and mice
and from fishworms and flies, to
man. Even the most convinced
"Dawinian" will admit that.
differences drawn from such
far-off premises cannot be as
sure as similar conclusions de-
pending upon a less elongated
chain of logic. In order to test
whether animals below us in the
ranks of existence possess any
sparks of intelligence that can be
considered as resembling human
mentality, it would seem best to
make the experiments upon ami
mails as close as possible to uS
in physical makeup and behavior
This Is what German psy
chologist, Wolfgang Kohler, has
been doing. He apparently thinks
that there is better chance to
find an embryonic sun of intel
ligence shining in the dark
corners of an apes brain than
in the diminutive skull of a 70.

(manlike animals) for subjects
and pupils. and tries to find out
whether they do things, or can
be taught to do things, in ways
indicating the existence of the
will to achieve results and the
conscious choice of means.
Act With Defined Purpose.
Some of his conclusions are
both interesting and promising.
He has, for example, found that
chifnpanzees behave as II they
had a will of their own and con.
sequently act in certain contln-
gencies, as human beings would
do. Thus some of them piled
several tiers of boxes one upon
another for the purpose Of reach
ing food placed high above thei-
reach. They even obtained a
hidden ladder, the use of which
they had observed, to aid them.

Kohler to discriminate Individual

thus to find out they are not all

There is one danger affecting

which arises from the fact that
too hastily formed theories are
often obstacles to the advance of
knowledge. They have a way of
getting tangled like curling
loose wires about the feet of the
investigators. This leads to the
rejection Of observed facts be-
cause either they, or the method
by which they have been ascer-
tanned, do not accord with ac-
copied theory.
The pick-and-choose method Of
dealing with observations, and
the over-driven theory Of weight

disastrous mishap as we have

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
Helen RoWIand-

This is Love
TlHIS Is love--the desire to
SHARE things with some
body!
The longing to share your
thoughts, your pastimes, your
dreams, your hopes, your ambi-
lions. your enthusiasms and your
successes with somebody.
The irresistible impulse to TELL
somebody-to brag to somebody,
to confess to somebody, to laugh
with somebody, or cry on some
body's shoulder.
This is Iove-the inexplicable
urge to reveal all your secret
thoughts about life to somebody,
to discuss the news in the morn
ing paper with somebody--to read
to somebody that fascinating pas
sage you came across last night.
This is Iove-the painful reali-
zation that you are half the Joy
of a beautiful sunset or a thrill
ing play. because He or She is
not there to enjoy it with you;
and the most delectable dinner is
flat and flavorless, unless He or
She is sitting across the table.
This Is love-the impatience to
show Him your new hat, the
eaRerness to wear your new dress
for Him, the breathless anxiety
to tell Him the new secret you
heard, or the new experience you
had.
There isn't much excitement or
inspiration in anything-planting
a garden, painting a picture,
building a home, making a
new discovery, dreaming

osophy or putting salt on

to the great Crossword Puzzle
