Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. June Carl
Cross, young resident of near S~ykesville,
Md, who claims that he was knocked
out and robbed on the Rockville Norbeck
Pike, about a mile and a half from
Rockville. late yesterday afternoon. is
recuperating at the home of his uncle
and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley D..
Gather, near Gaithersburg, where 1t
was stated this morning he seemed none
the worse for his experience aside from
being somewhat sore and short of cash.
That he was sandbagged or struck
with some padded instrument as he
was STOPPING alongside his automobile
~endeavoring to locate motor or other
trouble. is the story the young man told
the police. When discovered by Joseph
N. Starkey of Rockville, who happened
to be passing. he was prone on the
ground alongside his machine and vir-
tually unconscious. Starkey remained
with the injured youth while another
passerby hurried to Rockville and noti-
fed the police.
1t was some time after being brought
to Rockville before Cross regained his
senses sufficiently to give intelligent
information as to what occurred. He
was on his way, he said. from the home
of his uncle to Sykesville. and as he
was tinkering with his automobile an
other car, containing, he thought, two
men and a woman. drove up behind
him. He was Immediately struck by
one Of the men. with whom he CRAP
pied. The other mar quickly dealt him
a blow. he stated, and he remembered
nothing more.
Cross empty pocketbook was found
IN his car and he had in his pockets
less than a dollar in change. He was
relieved, he thought, of about $25.
The young man was unable to give
the police anything like a description
of his aSsailants or much information
of n kind that might aid in their de-
lection.

Millions of Families Depend
ON Dr.. CaldwelPs Advice

When Dr.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative we're not as
great as they are today People lived
normal, quiet lives, ate plain, whole
some food, and got plenty of fresh
air and sunshine. But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purges for the relief of constipation
which DR. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their systems. So he wrote a
prescription for a laxative to be
used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel Stimulant as Syrup
PepSin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used year
proves that it has won the conf
dence of people who needed it to
get relief from headaches, bilious
ness, fatulence. indigestion, loss of
appetite and sleep, bad breath, dys-
pepsia, colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

1t Almost Requires a
Genius TO Find a Genius

An international QUESTIONABLE
may measure directly some aspects
of intellectual equipment. Only very
imperfectly such a QUESTIONABLE
discloses characteristics which are
frequently, but not necessarily, as
ISOLATED with certain kinds and de-
grees of inventiveness.
Science is making definite pro-
gress in the measurement Of mental
ability. Capabilities of the highest
order, however, can not be meas
ured adequately by any known de-
vice. They can not even be justly
estimated except by thorough-going
and judicious appraisal of numerous
factors.
The capacity for sustained growth
is one of the most important but
most difficult to assess.
1t almost takes genius to dis
cover a genius, especially g young
one.
