Answer-Mental tests have not been
used long enough to enable us to say
what is decisive and what Is not.
There is much disagreement among
psychologists. Some of them. with a
show of evidence, argue that definite
results have been proved, enabling No.
cation counselors to speak with GER

Others are skeptical. l think, how
ever, that. although the verdict of
tests may not he decisive, they are
indicative. Certainty may come later.

LONDON, July 2.-"steve" Dono-
ghue, Europe,s premier jockey,
whose name and fame are known
the world over. is bringing to a
close his spectacular race-track
career.
1t is understood that he will re-
tire as a Jockey at the end of the
present English flat.racing season,
1t being his intention to become a
trainer.
Born at Warrington. in Lanca-
shire, Donoghue has achieved re.
markable success in the saddle. He
is acknowledged to be the gre(test
jockey since the famed Fred Archer.
He is chiefly remembered in Amer
lea. for his brilliant riding of
Papyrus against the American
crack zev two years ago.
DonogIlue has ridden six win
Ilers Of the EPSON Derby classic
I'M Sten years. His first win was
up on POnlmern in 1915. His
last was I'm 1925, when he crashed

In all, Donoghue has ridden the
winners of 147 classic races in Eng
land, with a total stake value OF
81, $50 900, record never surpassed.
In 1919 he was offered q retainer
OF 10000 for. three years by the
ex- kaiser, which he refused.
If he turns to trs4ning, as is ex-
pected, 1t is anticipated that he will
be in great demand, as any horse
coached by his experienced hand
would be considered a likely winner.

Money Defined In the last story
we saw how, at first. men always get
confused over the word money
What then Is money! Money Is
any wealth or property which is gem
orally acceptable in exchange.
This definition IS 8 little vague, but
purposely 50. We can not draw an
absolutely hard and fast line between
money and other things; and before
modern civilization developed the line
was even more vague than it is today.
Originally there was no line at all.
ANY kind Of wealth could be bartered
for any other Kind. Little By little
however some kinds were found to
be more easily exchanged than others.
How Things Became Money.
Among the American Indians there
were certain attractive shells called
@wampum." At first wampum was
used only for ornament or jewelry and
only those Indians who wanted it for
this purpose Of jewelry would take it
in exchange. Then other Indians who
did not want the wampum for them
selves for jewelry were willing to
accept It in~exchange, because they
knew they could resell it to someone
else who did want it for jeweIry. In
this way little by little everybody
came to accept wampum as thing
that could always be passed along.
They did not even stop to think wheth-
er they could find anyone who want
ed to keep it. EVERYBODY wanted it
because they knew everybody else
would take it; and the iewelry-use
from which the custom started was
almost forgotten. Of course anybody
could still use the wampum for jew
elry if he wanted to, but few actually
did. Unlike other wealth, It circulated
continually, instead Of ever stopping
to rest in the hands of ultimate con-
sumers. In 2 word, wampum had be-
come money, something to buy other
things with, rather than something
70 use for It's own sake.
Things Which Have Been Money.
At various times and places many
different sorts Of things have passed
through these same stages and be-
come money. In the colony Of Virginia
tobacco money; IN the colony Of Mass
achusetts, wheat; among the zulua,
cattle; in Russia, fur and leather; in
Abyssinia, salt-bricks; in Newfound-
land, Goldfish; in Scotland, nails; in
Ancient Sparta, iron. In some places
even today such things are used as
money.
But in most places metals, like cop
per and nickel. and especially the
precious metals" like silver and gold,
have become the favorite forms Of
money today.
The chief reasons why gold has sur
vived to this day as the favorite basic

WHAT MONEY IS AND FOR

money are five. IS follows: L is pre-
cious; Il IS durable: it Is TRANSPORTS
able; It Is Uniform; It is divisible.
Note how gold compares with some
other things az 70 these five qualities:
precious PIN large transactions,
cattle as money would be too clumsy
and ineonvenient. But gold contains
more value in less weight.

wood are hard to standardise: they
vary in quality.
"Divisible"If we cut steer in two
or chair OF diamond we spoil Il.
But gold bullion can be cut into any
size desired without harm.
In modern civilization money has be-
come almost completely separate and
different from other wealth. Il has

and pennies) and paper money.
