on the bases. He doesn't always
hit safely, but his long hoists are,
good for at least one run apiece.
Furthermore. he doesn't hit only
to one field. but to all three.

Navy With Planes.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 29.-It
takes three years or more to build a
modern battleShip and it costs $780,
100000 or so. In a rambling wooden
factory, hastily put up during the
World War on the outskirts of
Cleveland, one complete airplane
bomber is being assembled and
shipped to the United States Navy
every day. And they cost less than
$4,000 apiece, fully equipped.
Glenn L. Martin, owner of the fac
tory, is the sole builder of the Nays
aerial bombing fleet. In case of
another these planes, covered with
thin sheets of duralumin, will re-
place plated battleships as
the country's first line of defense.
The newest bombers being manu-
featured in Cleveland are technical
ly described as triple threat planes.

STATE REPORTS
HUGE PROFIT IN
TREE FARMING
Forest at HenryviIIe Yields
$4,000 in Lumber Trees
and FireWood.

Farming the woods is profitable
and 1t is time that farmers of In
diana and the Nation realize this,
Ralph F. Wilcox, acting State for
ester, declared today when he an
nounced the financial returns from
improvement cuttings on seventy
1Ve acres of State forest reserve at
Henryville.
According to Wilcox it cost SO
cents to make a cross-tie and load
IL on a car. The State received
$S,257.44 or $1.16 apiece for 1884 ties
cut and sold during 1923.
In the process Of cutting these
Ties and also for improvement cut
ting in the tract of 1900 feet of
lumber worth 1925 was harvested;
10000 feed, valued at 5000; fifty
cords of flrewood for $3.50; and 400
cords Of fireplace wood for $1,000.
Total lumber, f1rewood and ties
obtained from the seventy-f1ve acres
was sold for $6,09244, Or an average
OF $81.23 an acre.
Wages, operating and other ex-
penses totaled $3,104, leaving a net
profit Of $2,055 from the seventy-five
acres, Wilcox pointed out.
The forest of 4,700 acres was
started in 1903 with 1000 acres pur-
chased from the Governors con-
tlngency fund.
In the intervening years about 200
acres of old fields have been planted,

repetition of one recently called

We have our own level of or

OF situations he was DIR. Jekyll,
in the other Mr.. Hyde.
There are times when, to our
establishment, dog or child makes
no response to name or other
stimulus which ordinarily calls
out a response If we cannot
predict child's response, how
can we expect to predict the
behavior of an adult. How can
we know when Mr.. Hyde will
turn into DR.. Jekyll?
. We cannot. Even prediction of
a comets movements is simple
compared with predicting the be.

some general principles that are Of
general application.

The situation is again changed.
But to each and to all situa

open to all OF us.
There are also two ways OF
clothing our nakedness--for we
are born naked and are not
ashamed Of It. But the over

habit systems-we exhibit our
learning in the manual, laryngeal
or visceral field. A cross-section
OF our habit systems in these
three fields gives us picture of
our personality.
We learn new responses for ad-
justment purposes and in taking
on habits are subject to factors
which condition all learning. We
become adapted, positively or mega
lively: the stimulus reaches us
more easily or we inhibit 1t with
less effort.
A doctor asleep beside his wife
hears only the telephone; she
hears only the baby. But If the
baby cries long enough he will
hear it, and If the telephone rings
long enough she will hear it.
There is a limit to adaptation.
Both can hear a mouse or a bur-
gIar. Most boys can hear a penny
drop: most mems ears pick up
nothing less than silver.
Tight shoes are only tight until
we get used to them. 1t is the sud
den drops in the temperature that
we notice. We grow accustomed
to change if it is gradual: bad air.
bad food. bad government, bad
wives, bad husbands. bad children,
high cost of living. Life can make
huge concessions il it is not
crowded or pushed. AS long as
the breaking point is not reached,
we can stand it. Wives at so will
look as good as at 2O-f the
change has been gradual. We can
become adapted even to lethal
doses.
When any given stimulus suf-
ficient to set off the response
mechanism is repeated, the thresh-
old is lowered and the response
hastened; we are positively
adapted. favorably disposed. We
are negatively adapted II the
stimulus is gradually increased
without increased or with delayed
response. or if the threshold is
permanently raised IT we fail to
get up with the alarm clock we
soon fail to hear it.
