INTELLIGENCE TESTS
DIR. FREDERICK Il. GREEN
Editor of "HlA4LTH"

| EVERY ONE today, if they read
II nothing but the newspapers or
rather, in the proportion to which they
do read the newspapers, is more or
less familiar with what are called in
telligence or mental tests In many
criminal cases. experts are called as
witnesses who testify that the prison
er, who may be a middle-aged man,
has only the mental age of chill of
ten To the practical man, as often to
the iuries, This seems nonsense or
technical hair splitting to make out a
case for the defendant. Just what
are these tests for and have they any
real technical value?
In a recent issue Of the Mental
Health Bulletin, DIR. II. Douglas Sing
er, well-known authority on mental
conditions, tries to make clear Just
what Is the object and what are the
limitations of these tests.
Let us consider first, he says, lust
what we mean by intelligence, which
Z.
A man is said to be intelligent when
he makes use of his memories of past
experiences to decide how to act now.
II does not matter whether these mem
cries are OF his own previous actions
or those of which he has read or been
told by others. This is not matter
OF knowledge or education, OF the
amount of school instruction he has
received or The number OF facts he
knows, but Of his native intelligence"
or horse sense. This ability depends
on the quality Of his brain not on the
things he has been taught.
So these intelligence tests have been
devised so as to test not the Indi-
viduals knowledge or education but
the native brain ability which each In
dividual has. The first one and prob
ably the one still used the most, is
called after the two men who de-
vised it. the Binet-Simon test. II was
originally devised to separate school
children into two groups.
mere ID uUuH VI the lpSlS, IN the
Binet-Simon system, which any keen,
bright, normal child of fifteen cannot
do as we'll and sometimes better than
an adult Of twenty-five or thirty.
For convenience In scoring, each
unit of the scale covered by these
tests Is called year of mental age,
but this does not mean that the per-
son tested has the mind Of child of
that age In anything except ability to
do these particular tests.
These tests, then, have definite lin
itations BY them 1t Is possible to
gage with fair accuracy the grade In
school a child can reach, but they are
not measure of his success or future
In life.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough or chest cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. 1t is used in millions Of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou-
bic ut all to mix and costs but o tritie.
Into q pint bottle, pour PA ounces
Of Pinex then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
q full pint. This saves two-thirds OF
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you purer, better
remedy. It never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the inhamed
throat membranes. 1t is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly loosens the germ-laden
phlegm. This three-fold action explains
why it brings such quick relief even in
severe bronchial coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is q highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
q refined, palatable form, and known
as one Of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept O substitute for Pinex.
It il guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

LOWER CABLES
BUMP COTTON
Opening Decline of Eight
Points; Selling Keeps
Up After Start

NEW ORLEANS, June 12.-tP)-
Much lower cables than expected
influenced an opening decline Of 8
points in the cotton market here.
Selling continued after the start,
October trading off to 1851 and
December 1854, or 8 TO 8 points net
down.
The market weakened later when
the weekly weather and crop sum-
mary proved more favorable than
expected. Offerings were absorbed,
at moderate reactions, and values
started upward again under a de-
mand stimulated by a statement by
the Mississippi state plant board
that weevilS were as numerous and
destructiev now as at the end Of
July last year. July traded up to
1850, October 1881. and December
1871. or 8 to II points above the
lows and l to ? points over yester-
days close.
