PRISM CLASSES
 USED IN TEST
Scientists Set at Naught Early
 Perception Of Space

Northampton. Mass, Sept (P)- How would you like to reach for glass of water and meet only empty space, to think straight doors were curved or see rainboWs around the heads of all your friends?
 This is what happened to Miss Janet Goldschmidt of New York when she put on prism glasses in her investigation of the habit of space perception in connection with her work in psychology at smith college.
 Space perception is defined as the ability to perceive which things are far away and which nearby. Psy- chologists say that this ability must he acquired, one that babies do not possess.
 In infancy the world seems only a confusing blur of colors and lines. however, by reaching for things and in other ways, each per son learns to sec the world in three dimensions and thus forms the habit of space perception.
 Wore Glasses
 Miss Goldschmidt undertook to investigate this habit further. For three days she wore a pair of prism glasses that moved everything she saw to the left, Straight lines be- came curved and everywhere light was bent or refracted as it, passed through the prisms into rainbow bends of color.
 To this new situation Miss Gold schmidt's old habits of space Der ocption were poorly adapted. She reached for a pencil and felt only her desk; she walked towards a door and found only a wall. Soon, however, she began 10 form new habits and could reach for things with some hope of success. To learn to walk downstairs took long est of all, but in three days she was adjusted to the new world.
 Surprising Result
 One of the most surprising of Miss Goldschmidts results came when she touched a straight surface which (bccause of the glasscs) look cd curved. It felt curved as well. This, Miss Goldschmidt concluded. seemed to prove the primacy of sight over kinacsthetics, or touch, a point which long has been debated among scientists.
 This was said to have been the first time that a prism glasses ex- pertinent ever was tried contiuu- ously. Miss Goldschmidt plans 10 her studies in psychology at Columbia university.

 Before making an offer of con- Nertible bonds or preferred stocks to the public, it has been found that an attractive effect can be attained ny throwing out a' few small pieces of common stock in order to arouse interest.
 Publlc demand for ordinary bonds and preferred stocks has declined steadily and resisted every effort by bond selling houses to revive it. ne only Way a company can be sure these days of selling it's prior lien securities is to dress them up In fancy stock purchase warrants or conversion privileges.
 This has given directors a ouos- ton Of importance to decide: how many shares of common stock must be offered to buyers of con- vcrtiblc issues?
 As rule this conversion rate has been based approximately on the current market value of the com pany's common shares. Recently this has led 10 the taking of deti- hlte steps to steady Or strengthen the market for the company's com mon stock before floating the con- Nertible issue.
 One company recently noated a small amount of common stock. ac- companied with much publicity about plans and prospects. The compahy's common shares rose in price. A convertible bond issue then was tloatod, the rate of conver- slon being based on the higher common price.

Little further major fighting is ex- pected by government authorities to be needed to stamp out the last Nestiges of revolt in northern MeAi- co. In some quarters even the pre- diction was made today that within two weeks the military problem pre- sented by the rebellion would be definitely solved. .-s.
 The fall of Ciudad Jua"ez to fed eral troops yesterday aroused little comment here. Since the evacuation of Chihua hua it had come to be taken for granted. Adyices of the city's evacuation and subsequent oc- cupaton by loyal troops comprised the only news of military maneuvers reaching Chapultepee castle during the day.
 Federal forces presumably were continuing their advance from Culi- acan. capital of Sinaloa, toward San

A well organized force was to be pre- pared to attack him and kill him in the ensuing melee, if he should es- cape death in the blast.
 PIotters Barely Escape
 Perez obtained the explosives but was unable to get them out of Mexico City. Military authorities here found them in his room here. with letters. revealing the plot and barely missed taking him an his companion. The two were said to have escaped on train leaving the Colonia station last night.
 Several weeks ago during the movement of the federal forces in the Torreon region the Mexican consul at Fl Paco, Enrique Lickens informed the president at Chapulte- pee castle that he had become aware of a plot to assassinate General Gales at Torreon. The plot, it was said then, was of the connivance of ,hc rebel generals who had left agents in the city when they evacu- ated it to carry out their purpose.
 Gales left his headquarters at Bcrmeiillo, north of Torreon, late last week and passed through Jalis- co, either late Sunday or carly Mon- day, en route to Mazatlan where he has since taken active charge Of the federal west coast campaign.

There is much sobbing over

the simple laws of hygiene were
kept in mind. Falling hair, oily
hair, turkey tracks, skin erup-
tons, sallow skins, puffs under
the eyes are often punishments
for disregarding rules that make
for health. Battle daily, breathe
deeply, exercise, eat wisely, drink
plenty of water, get eight hours
sleep and train the mind not to
fret or worry. Simple enough,
but how many women ever think
of these matters at all?
The girl with the uncertain APP
petite should take fruit juices.
They are peptogenic and increase
the secretions Of the gastric
juices. She should begin the day
