When Work Best Alone ?

There is q common impression ina
working in q group Is favorable TO TN
output, but circumstances not onl!
alter they make cases. We must DIS
miss the fact that it may be pleaSantel
to work In q group because you can tan
and relieve the strain. 1t doesn't follow
that YOU do better or more work. Sew.
ing bees are social occasions and may
encourage gossip more than efficiency
We must also rule out rivalry and COM
petition. we know that rivalry Stimu-
lates, and setting the pace IS great
aid to efficiency of a group and dis
courages struggling.
The question is whether the reaction
to the mere presence OF others wrlle
you are bent on your own work IS an
aid. Let us first see what the labora-
tory experiment tells. A group OF col
lege students were put to rather taxing
mental tasks, part of the time working
in groups of three, four or five at
small table, and part of the time alone
The first task was to write out 1O(
words Just as they occurred to you
start when you like and go on and or
until you have 100, and if you think i
easy or that you won't run out OF ideas
try it.
The general result is that words came
slightly more readily when working II
O. group, and the slowest thinkers (ol
writers) were more benefited by tn
presence Of others than the rapid ones
When writing alone you think" more
of personal association; when writing
In q group you get your words nlorI
from your surroundings.
The next test was to take epigram
or short, telling passages and ask thl
students to write as many argument
as they could to prove that the saying
wasn't true. Again the number of argu
mentS thought of In group was create
than when writing alone. It may b.
only slightly greater; it may help b.
rs much as 20 per cent; on the averag
about 10. When the arguments wer
rated as TO quality 1t was found tina
you reasoned better alone than in
group, and also wrote more conciSely.
This benefit In some respects fron
social" thinking may be subtle forn
of rivalry, though there was no sug
ReStion Of competition. You don't hk
to appear less active or less bright thai
your neighbor But the chief differenc
is that you may be affected by Workin
in the presence of others in one wa
and favorably, and your neighbor in an
other way and unfavorably.
So another observer, following tn
clue of this experiment, which was ar
ranged by Prof Alport, tried somethin
similar on a group OF Sufferers. It
known that most sufferers can tai
better when alone, talking or readin
aloud to themselves. Of Is stutterer
12 reported that they had no trouble a
all when alone, IL that they had littl
trouble, and l only that he had just. a

For Scanty Hair.

Milady is always looking for some
thing that is different in clothes or
coifures. She breads monotony and
sameness. Each style that has its short
vogue brings out the beauty of a GER

ions gives a chance to other types OF
beauty. The constant rotation of modes,
therefore, is something to encourage

CONSTIPATION
CAUSES
TROUBLE
But there's a way to
safe relief

It's 50 easy to become constipated
these days-what with soft food,
lack Of exercise, modern rush and
hurry. So easy, indeed, that many
of the worst sufferers don't even
realize what's the trouble with them.
They go through life-half-way
sick, halfway tired. From time to
time, they resort to drugs and pills.
But these afford no more than tenn
porary relief. Often enough, they
only increase the trouble.
Headaches, sleeplessness, back
aches, sallow cheeks, fading hair
these are all symptoms of this wide
spread affection. Sooner or later it
leads to serious disease. Stop
dangerous constipation! Stop habit
forming drugs! Kellogg's ALL
BRAN points the way to natural
relief. Two tablespoonfuls daily
chronic cases, with every meal-are
guaranteed to relieve constipation.
Doctors recommend ALL~BRAN
because it is 100% bran 1000
effective. A health cereal to serve
with milk or cream - fruits or
honey added. Sprinkle into soups.
Sold by all grocers. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Greek.

New York. May s1 Pl-The Olympic rowing trials on the SchuyI- kill river hold forth the prospect of the greatest eight oared naval battle conducted in some time.
 For the first time in years neither New London nor Poughkeepsie will furnish the rowing climax. This year the two big college regattas along the Thames and Hudson will be preliminar ricS 10 the main sea- faring engagement July 6 and : at Philadelphia.

 Stan Hart. Id Twicher, Ted Hart and "keck" Parker made up the other quartet that scored the best ball. Ted turned in card of 76 winch was the best gross score of the day. The bachelors of the win- ming eight gallantly waived their rights 10 the prize golf balls and al lowed the married men to divide the trophies. Wives, seeing evidence of thelr husbands proNcss with golf weapons. might be reconcied to havlng them away from home on a holiday. At least that was the theory of the division Of the prize.
 In the afternoon about half as many entered another event. Players were given flags at the first tee which they carried until they had exhausted the extra strokes their handlcaps allowed them.

Humbert Eugazy Forced to Call on Lightweight Title Bout at Eb- betts Field.

New York. May 3I P-Eev York weather apparently plays no favorites among boxing promoters. Tex Rickard was forced by rain in- to numerous postponements in his first attempt Of the season to stage an outdoor championship fight. Now his Metropolitan rival, Humbert ]. Fuga2y. has suffered the same luck. Owing to a downpour the light heavyweight championship bout be- tween Tommy Loughran and Pete Iatzo, originally scheduled for last night, was postponed until tomor- TOW,
 The date for the postponed battle was firts set for Wednesday. June $. but after careful consideration of the already too complicated sched- ule of the champion, Fugazy decided to advance It 10 tomorrow.
 The postponement adds to the tangle of Loughran's rapid-fire ser ies of title defenses. Within two weeks of the Latzo fight Tommy is due 10 meet Leo Lomski on June l3, under the auspices of Fugazy. and Jimmy Slattery two nights later for Rickard.
 Both promoters are standing firm ly by their guns. in respect to dates. and SO far the boxing commission has failed 10 clarify the situation. X decision is promised for tomor- TOW, however, with a possible com- promise between the rival promoters which will extend Loughran's fistic marathon by few weeks.
