Puzzle a Day

A big crowd was expected at the
ball park, as Babe Ruth was sched-
uled to play. And Bob, who sold
popcorn and peanuts to the fans in
the bleachers, determined to have a
plentiful stock Of each. So he bought
1870 bags of peanuts at four for a
dime, and the same number Of bags
Of popcorn at six for a dime. But
the game was called off on account
of rain. To save trouble, Bob decid-
ed to sell out at cost price. So he
mixed the stock together, and sold 1t
at the rate of 10 bags for 20 cents
to another vender. But instead Of
coming out even as he anticipated.
he lost money on the transaction.
How did this happen?

HOPE OF RACES FUTURE
IS SEEN in LABORATORY
By VIVA LINDSAY
Universal Service Staff Correspondent

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 2.-It is
to the cold, mechanical apparatus OF
the scientific laboratory that man must
look for his safety, his health, his hap
piness and even his success in life.
DR.. K. McKeen Cattell, retiring
president of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, in his
address here at the eighty-second con-
vention OF the association described
concsetely how psychological expert
ments were helping man in his increas-
ingly difficult adjustment to life.
Or. Cattell pointed out that of the
10000 i--otor car accidents annually in
the United States about 80 per cent
were due to the human factor.
The creature whose responses are
prompt and correct and not disturbed
by irrelevant conditions and events is
the one that survives and succeeds, /"
said DIR. Cattell.
BLINDNESS TO COLOR.
About one man in 25 and one wom-
an in 100 is affected with the most
common form of color blindness, the
inability to distinguish between red
and green, Dr.. Cattell stated.
These are the colors. that must be
correctly and promptly Disseminated
between in order to avoid accident in
railway, steamboat and automobile
traffic." he said. "Color blindness is
inherited and permanent. 1t cannot be
cured. But we can avoid placing men
where the defect is Of consequence and
we can adjust the colors OF signals.
Psychological methods now being used
for the selection of taxicab drivers in
number Of cities are decreasing the
number of accidents"
Mr.. Cattell declared that ''if every
person from the moron to the federal
president were selected for the work
he could do best, and the work fitted
in the best way to the individual as
well as the best training given him the
productivity Of the nation would be
more than doubled"
Experiments with the age curve,
according to DIR. Cattell, show at what
ages man best can do certain things.
For instance. child can learn to pro-
nounce his own or a foreign language
best at the age Of 3, then there is a
drop and after II he cannot learn cor
rect enunciation.
Perhaps boy can learn to ride a
bicycle best at the average age Of 10
and to drive a motor car at the age OF
49," said DIR. Cattell. "Our most orig
inal ideas come in the early 20s.
Some OF us hope that the curve for
forming correct judgments rises at
least to the age Of Go years. The up
per end of the age curve is of special
interest to many of us. For example
We do not know at what age uniyer-
sity professors should be retired, but
IL IL is IS then il should not be the
calendar but the physiological and the
psychological age Of IS. Some men
ut 50 are younger than the avera ge
man Of go and some older than the
average man Of TO-"
