ODD FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF

BY YALE S. NATHANSON, B. Sc, NJ. A.
Department o. Psycho!o1y. University Of Pennsylvania

The reason for this is because every
normal person has a memory span of
at least four.
In making mental tests. the memory
span is a most important item. be-
cause it is one which you cannot fake
The best part of it is that it is an
ability which does not lend itself to
training. You are born with IL certain
size memory span and cannot develop
1t beyond certain point no matter
what you do.
OF course, children do not have as
large a memory span as adults, but
this is because their memory span has
not yet unfolded to its fullest extent.
However. once the memory span has
reached its climax there is no known
way of making it any greater
The following is the result of a
study made of hundreds of cases Ar
ranged by schooling. they average:
1st Grade
2nd Grade-4is
3rd Grade
4th Grade-5i2
9Th Grades
18th Grade-61.
Sth Grades $40
High School
Colleges
Where do YOU find yourself on this
scale? The memory span is being used
by employment managers. A man GER
tainly should have Il memory span as
great as the numbers of levers he is
going TO operate if You are to intruSt
him with its safe operation.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

And wherever he found a boy who
loved tales of the Jolly Roger and
dirks and Unknown lands, he took
that boy with him for a new cruise
around the world, in search of lands
as strange as Treasure Island.
With copper marks given by the
school children of Germany, he fitted
up the "Vaterland," took abord an
exhibit of German manufacturers,
and assembled his crew.
There is no caste system aboard
the "Vaterland." Baron Siegfrled
Won Oppein peels potatoes and
Baron Arnd Won Rautenfeld swabs
decks. And better potato peelers
and deck swabbers and hornpipe
dancers never sailed, the count
swears.
Each young nobleman has brought
$4,000 for potato money" in case
the Vaterland commissary gets low.
But that is the least of the Sea-
devils worries. I'VE make our way
as we CO." he explains. I'VE use
what money we have and we fish
when that is gone. Perhaps we may
find desert island and set up house
keeping by our wits.
Our cruise may last a year. or it
may last three. So long as we are
doing something for Germany, We'll
be satisfied. We are out to show
our wares in every country on three
continents"

After many exploits, Count Won
Luckner was captured by a British
officer and made prisoner Of war

former prisoners found him. and by

From this prison. the count es-

the motor boat and the sword Of the
very officer who had captured him.
War Ended Adventures

And so he set out on trip through

CHAIR MADE OF HORNS
Kansas Judge Rules From Unique
Throne

BU United Press
DODGE CITY, Kan, Dec TO-
The probate judge of Dodge City has
one of the most unique seats, from
which to dispense justice in the
country.
The chair, built in 1893, is made
entirely from the horns of steers
which at one time ranged plains near
here. The horns have been polished
to a high degree and reflect shades
of rose, lavender and green.
Wildcat skins cover the headrest,
back and seat Of the chair. A silver
plate bearing the name Dodge City
and the date is on the back.
The chair was started by women
of Ford County, but was completed
by a carpenter whom the women
hired: The curio was taken to the
Worlds Fair in 1898, where its un-
usualness and striking appearance
created a great deal of comment.
