ance company will pay the Dill IN

upon the policy

haeclins over triyialties and teen
nicalities, so that in many cases the
owner of an automobile who tries
IA get what he thinks is due him IN

Psychologists of the University of

functions of the canals and stones

to become aviators, according to
Prof. S. s. Maxwell, national re.

Although most of the experiment
tai work on the inner car has been
done with lower animals. it is be-
lieved that the same findings ap-
ply in a general way to man also.
The inner ear. it was explained

the various r>flex actions stimu'
