MENTAL TESTS SHOW
EFFECT OF POVERTY

WASHINGTON R-Study of fam
lily histories in different sections of the
southern Appalachians and of extern
sive mental tests in the schools has
led the Department of Genetics of the
Carnegie Institute of Washington to
this conclusion: "The lower the eco
nomic level of an area, the lower the
general intellectual level of the fam
lilies within the ara3."
"The studies also indicate that fam
lilies with better intelligence are found
in the areas with the better economic
advantages says DR.. Charles B. Dav-
export, director of the department.
"The data also indicates that, in gen
eAal, it has been the more energetic
and intelligent men and women who
have left the southern mountains for
other regions"

the bright -armored band of Coronado,
seeking the lost cities of Cibola with

these were arrayed the >fiercest of In

years this ancient way belonged by

Eastertide, when the Yaqui Indians
celebrate Holy week with sort of

Here follows an interesting descrip-
ton of the Wonderland of Rocks,
well known to all Douglas people:
'To the traveller making the inter-
esting trip from Nogales (meaning
walnuts), fascinating treats are in
store. Leaving the parent company's S
main line at Tucson, Ariz., a two
hours southerly ride brings him into
Nogales, the gateway to the west coast
of Mexico. Between beautifully round
ed hills, Nogales firmly straddles the
international boundary, and were it
not for the wire fence separating the
two countries, one would not know If
he were in Mexico or the United
States, so close is the harmony and
friendliness at this unique border

Son., are to all outward appearances
but one town."

Globe begins perhaps the most fasci-

dam, impounding an exquisite lake,
are features impe1ling trans-conti-

CHRISTMAS CARDS EFFECTIVE
MEANS OF SENDING CHRISTMAS
GREETING, AND MANY CHOICES

You have to believe in Christmas
cards to enjoy them. If you believe
in them you enjoy receiving and
sending them. If they are cold
duty to you, you miss all the fun.
One can picture perfectly the sort
of card you'd send. There would be
one single bit of stereotyped holly at
the top, neat engraving below, and
that is all. The person receiving your
card will give it one glance, and say
ooh, the Jenkinses," and toss it in a
pile of others just like it and pass
on to one more interesting, and
original
The Note of Warmth
/ The point of which is-don't feel,
please, don't feel it your solemn duty
to send Christmas cards, because the
card will always show it. The friend
who receives it will feel as if a dash
of cold water had struck him in the
face and a clammy limp hand had
been laid in his. That feeling is
somewhat lacking in the proper
Christmas spirit, oh, ever SO slightly,
you know.
If you must be dignified and formal,
at least do not be rigid and cold.
Your engraved message can have a
bit of originality in expression and
your formal etching or design can be
thing of beauty with warmth Of
tone and coloring.
A Variety of Good Cards

signs in cards arranged for you by
the several publishers there is really
no excuse for frigid and meaningless
ones.
In your favorite bookshop you will
find a goodly array from which to
choose. The stationery department of
a big store is usually equally well
supplied. You can find an excellent
assortment from which to pick yours,
as early as September. And early
choice in your cards as we'll as in
your other shopping will save much
disappointment and vexation
In the shop there are scrap books
with cards and envelopes pasted in,
and prices below. The price usually
includes the printing, Or engraving, of
your name in the space left specially
for it.
Making Your Own
Artists always have the advantage
over others in that they can design
their own Christmas cards. Some
times they cut the blocks necessary
and print them as we'll The charm
of these has become so apparent that
many of the commercial cards initiate
the hand-cut block with the effect of
original work.

are most interesting A silver deer

SOUTHERN ARIZONA SUNSHINE
PARLOR OF AMERICA, IT SAYS

Given conspicuous attention and its
proper place on the map among other
points widely famous for their climate
and other attractions as a mecca for
the winter tourists, Douglas and all
southern Arizona gets a splendid at
tention in the current issue of the
Literary Digest in it's department,
Winter Fairgrounds the World Over .
The magazine gives several pages to
careful and interesting description of
the features at the various points of
earth where those seeking rest, recrea-
ton, health, entertainment or merely
the opportunity to pass the time
amidst things congenial to the eye
and in a climate of balmy tempera-
tllre may find something to their
liking. And in the areas selected for
description, Arizona occupies the posi-
ton of a gem of first quality.
This treatment by a magazine of
the circulation of The Digest, prob
ably 100000 readers, is advertisino
of exceptional merit, better than paid
advertising as it comes as entertain
ing reading voluntarily served. In the
company of the best resorts of Florida
and the Bahamas, of California and
the Hawaiian islands, or the islands
of the South sea; the points of inter-
est along the Caribbean or on the
cruise through the Mediterranean sea,
Douglas and Tucson stand out with
the eloquent compliment of being
termed in Americas Sunshine Par
lor" Here are some of the para
graphs carried by The Digest concern
ing Arizona. The Arizona description
follows in due course after passing Ell
Paso. the description being based on
a westward journey:
Beyond on one division of the
railroad, lies Douglas, a city that
stands on high plateau and that is

Northwest Of Douglas, on the Bor-
derland highway and the Coronado
trail near the Continental divide, is
Tombstone, rich in history and ro-
nance. This town, as the Tombstone
Epitaph reminds us, has been the in
spiration for much western literature.

But neither Sammy Jay nor Blacky ever did get there. To this aay they don't know what it was all about. You see, both are too smart to let curiosity interfere with their watchfulness. So 1t was that when Sammy was about half way there he suddenly caught his breath, alighted in thick hemlock tree. and a mo- ment later turned and silently flew back, twice as fast as he had come.
 And 1t happened that a moment or two later Blacky the Crow did precisely the same thing that his cousin Sammy Jay had done. Both flew in hurry and both took the greatest care to make no sound whatever. You see, both had seen some one else who had heard the noisy tongue of Chatterer the Red Squirrel. and was then headed fin that direction.
 That some one was Terror the Goshawk, that swift-winged killer from the North. He was hungry. for he had had no breakfast. A squir- rel breakfast would suit him as well as anything he could think of. So the instant he heard Chatterer's vonce he headed in that direction. He knew that Chatterer was in a fit of anger. He knew that he was h-.v- ing tantrum, and he knew too that when a person is very busy being angry he usually has little thourht or attention for anything else.
 It was just so with Chatterer. If it had been possible for Terror the Goshawk to grin, he certainly would have grinned when he came in sight .of Chatterer. Chatterer was dancing about and scolding and making a great rumpus. He was so busy about it that he wasn't paying any attention to anything else. Like a gray streak Terror shot forward. His great curved. needle-sharp claws were set and ready to seize Chatterer. What warned Chatterer even he does not know. But at the very last instant he broke off his scolding so short that it was just as If he had bitten off his own tongue: and at the very same instant he didged over the edge of the old stump. With a swish Terror shot past, stopped himself with sur prising suddenness, turned and came back. Chatterer lodged around the trunk. Two or tfree times Terror almost caught him. but each time Chattrer succeeded in lodging him. At last he was close to the entrance and darted in. He was safe.
 Terror didn't hang around. He knew that that would be waste of time. Like most of those who hunt, he is something of a philosopher. "Pll get him some other time" said Terror to himself, and shot away to look for a breakfast elsewhere.
 As for Chatterer. he didn't come out Of that old stump again until afternoon. And when he did come out he was strangely silent His tongue was stilled for once.

People who make noise are bound to be seen. Somebody is sure- ly going to hear and be curious and come to see what all the trouble Is about and what all the fuss is about. Chatterer the Red Squirrel had forgotten this. You know, he was in a tantrum. You know tan- trum means flying into great rage. There he sat on top of certain old stump, or rather danced on top of Q certain old stump, and shrieked all sorts of things because he was so angry.
 Now Chatterer's voice can be heard long distance, especially when 1t is still in the Green Forest More than one pair of ears heard that voice and stopped to listen. Sammy Jay laughed and headed straight for that old stump. He dearly loves to see Chatterer in a temper. Blacky the Crow heard and he. too. started for that old stump. There must be something interest ing there" said Blacky to himself. "Chatterer Is very much upset over something, and it may be worth knowing about" So he too headed toward the old stump.

 It seemed hours that we sat walt ing and watching the lights of the motor cars speeding up and down the Drive. But in reality it was only few minutes before taxi drew up to the door of the apart ment building and the tall. muffled figure of Mrs. Baker alighted.
 Mrs. Bakers Arrives.
 You see," Lillian whispered. "she dosen't stop to pay the taxi man. That either proves that she has him by the week or month or that some one else has paid him. And don't think she's as lame as she pretends, either. or the taxi man would help her down from the car."

 She gave so violent start at the sight of us and tucked her head 50 quickly that l thought she meant to rush past us with bent head. But from somewhere I mustered the presence of mind to say cheerly:
 Good evening, Mrs. Baker. We're paying the penalty of forgetful- ness," and held up our envelopes.
 She bowed courteously, but did not speak. Instead she pointed to her throat with dramatic gesture, and, limping exaggeratedly, went past us up the stairs.
