How can you determine this? You

fry them in what you know is 500 cal

bother TO measure out that aud sub
tract. Better. of course. not to cat fried

But a potato put into boiling at fries

the grease and therefore has a higher
caloric value. The hot grease, ot course
forms a hard brown coating on the po-
tato at once. and that and the steam
released inside this coating. keep out
much Of the fat. which cooks without
being taken up. But how can YOU ce-
termine whether your potato has taken

would not nourish YOU at all!

to this contention Skinner contended
that the check was suficient written

The court held the check an in5uf1-

"A check or note given in connection

BRAIN TESTS
Omission Test.

This is apparently simple test. but
II is not easy. In an examination a
time limit would be set for 1t, but no
exact limit Is necessary. You should
not. however, take more than two min
uteS.
A list Of numbers Is given, In order
from TO 100. inclusive. but some OF the
numbers have been omitted. 1t Is easy
enough to find those numbers and any
one can count TO 100, but the object OF
this test is to remember them.
Read through the numbers slowly.
and every time you see an omission
pause long enough to note what num-
Der is missing. When you have reached
100. do not go over the list again, but
lay IT aside and try TO write down the
missing numbers.

an old farmhouse up In the Michigan

room was an exotic Surset OF orange
and green With gauzy curtains taking

garden.
The bedrooms were little islets OF
peace with their old spool beds. patch
