Roraback never walks up to a legislator, slaps him between the shoulders and tells him what a fine man he is. He doesn't make him self too familiar where they fore gather if he can help it. But he can always be found with a little looking around, and he is always heard from quietly and in digni- fled way when communication is necessary.
 It is for this reason, after long practice, that he is the high poten- tate of political Connecticut. Some men are adept at handling other men, while a few are experts at handling politicians. J. Henry is a past master at handling both.

So far as talking is concerned Roraback has Silent Car making noise like Morse telegraph sounder.
 Roraback lets his critics do the talking, and he never answers.
 Occasionally he makes a speech, or a talk, at some political gather ing he cannot avoid attending. It is then that he enunciates cherished platitudes about the grand old party, the weather and the de- lights Of the New England climate.
 This reticence comes from ex- perience. He has found it the easiest way to get along; the easiest way to gain political pres tige; the only way to stay in busi- ness and politics at the same time and with the minimum of trouble.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. g lP-The note of Serbia on the subject of raids by Bulgarian irregulars on the border is expected to arrive shortly.
 It possibly will be supported by the powers of the little entente.
 Inview of the steps taken in Sofia and Belgrade by the British, French and Italian minister, however, it is considered that the Bulgar-Serb controversy has passed the danger point and that there now is no danger of a clash at arms.
 When the ministers of the powers approached NJ. Bouraff, the Bulgar- ian foreign minister, he is under stood to have given them every as- surance that the Bulgarian govern ment would take all necessary measures to prevent bands of the "Comitadjis'' from crossing the Serbian frontier and to put an end to their activities in general"

Tests Successful"
The second assistant and the chief
carry out their fallen comrade, first
ordering pupils to keep their seats.
The pupils who take advantage or
their absence to add words not
written before, are readily detected
as cheats. By the time they are
detected. however, they must real
lie that their honored instructors
are cheats, also.
These tests were Successful. y
There was much SHINING and the
relieved examiners reported the
facts to the newspaper headliners
and to the radio clergymen. This
started something. Professional up
filters and their near relatives have
ceased to quote from the Constitu-
ton of the United States and from
the Sermon on the Mount and now
quote from the Standardized I'm
morality Tests.
Not Convincing
OF course these tests were con-
temptible and showed greater de-
pravity on the part of examiners
than on the part of children. They
were not convincing, for manifestly
they could not be @pplied to the
children of a past generation and
they were not applied to adults. Can
the subject be trusted not to peep
when an honorable person would
keep his eyes closed?" For grown
ups, this is stickler. When are the
times when an honorable man or
woman actually does keep his eyes
closed?
The tests did not prove that chill
dren were worse than their elders,
nor that they were worse than
earlier children. They merely

Operators in these clinics were
placed in situations where they were
strongly tempted to commit some
sin. If they cast themselves from
the mount, or even looked ap-
provingly upon the kingdoms OF
the world, they were marked 60"
If they loudly but discourteously re-
buked the tempter, they were
marked 10"
Youths Temtped
In these tests the unguarded boy
was tempted to steal. He found
needed purse with every opportunity
for concealment, though he was
watched through a keyhole. He was
given too much change and, unless
he rebuked the carelessness of the
clerk, he was worse than his father.
He was tipped for a slight service
and was marked 80" if he did not
thrust back the coin. He was tempt
ed to lie by asserting to exaggerated
praise of his school progress. So
similarly with a dozen other cum
ningly devised tests.
The test by which children were
tempted to cheat is perhaps the best
illustration.
It is entitled: "Can the subject
be trusted not to cheat in examina-
tion?"
Examiner Faints
The approved method Is as fol-
lows: The subjects are herded into
Classrooms and elaborate precau-
lions are taken to suggest the ease
aud frequency of cheating. For
is purpose the boys are seated
BART from each other and are faced
by an examiner and two assistants
who are trained to work like detec-
tives applying the third degree.
The test consists Of certain writ
ten work upon a pad folded over
concealed wax paper. After the
work is completed, the lower sheets
are secured by the examiner who has
stolen a copy from each pupil. one

rect words, allowing each pupil TO
