and send her back to her husband
the Odd Stick?
Is it really right to permit one
silly girl to upset a whole family
just for that?
I say let Odd Stick worry-he
chose the job, now let him keep it
what DO you think?
Dear Annie Laurie:
I am a young man of % and I
am married and have two boys. For
about the last year my wife seems
to not have much time for me. She
Is always nagging at me and the
boys. Now I think I have been as
good to my wife as any man in
the world. We have been married
four years, and I have never been
away from home a night unless my
wife was with me. She is always
telling me she wouldn't care if I
would go with some girls. Now I
do not care for any girl but my
wife. There is not a thing I
wouldn't do for her. She is always
5O4AAo W OllC OA1ONO d4lO w llCI
friends house and leaves the chill
dren with me. She says she loves
me as much as she used to but she
doesn't show it. But I think she
should give me some Of her time
at least.
Now, what would you advise as
I can't go on much longer, as we
are, and I sure don't want to spoil
u home. What would you advise?
WAITING.
Waiting: Cannot you make an
arrangement for some one to take
care Of the children in the eve
nings so that you can take your
wife out? Perhaps this is what is
the matter, Waiting. And, too, try
acting as you did before you "a
ried her. Sometimes in the hustle
and hustle of married life, husbands
and wives forget the fact that they
were once sweetheartS and it's really
too bad. Perhaps some of the
thoughtful things you did before
you married her might help-floW-
ers, candy and such things. Try it
and see how it works out, and good
lI1ck

Husband Is worried to death about his wife.
And his wife is worried to death about Millicent.
And everybody wonders what on earth is the
matter with the Tyers.
The Club quickly noticed that Charlie isn't what
he used to be. He sits and moons and jumps as if
he had been shot If anyone speaks to him suddenly.
And the other day he trumped his partners ace
and forgot to tip the steward.
Mrs. Tyer is a puzzle to her friends too.
She used to be good-natured and light-hearted
and full of fun. Now she is nervous and irritable
and jurnpy-and she told her best friend what she
really thought Of her the other day and the best
friend went to bed with a sick headache.
And it's all about Daughter Millicent.
Daughter Millicent ran away and married an
Odd Stick, five or six years ago, and everybody, but
the Tyers, was delighted.

STUDENT OF SPACE PERCEPTION
 MOVES IN BATTLING NEW WORLD

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Sept. 12-How would you like to reach for a glass of water and meet only empty space, to think straight doors were curved, and see rain- bows 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. Psychologists say that this ability must be acquired, one that babies do not possess.
 In infancy the world seems only a confusing blur of colors and lines. Gradually, however, by reach ing for things and in other ways, each person learns to see the world in three dimensions and thus forms the habit of space percep- ton.
 Miss Goldschmidt undertook to investigate this habit further. For three days she more a pair of prism glasses that moved every thing she saw to the left. Straight

DENY, CHARGES MADE BY COUNT

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 12.- Following a two hour conference Gov. c. c. Young, Warden Court Smith, of Folsom Prison and Chas Neumiller, President of the State Prison Board, issued statements de- nying an attempt had been made in Folsom Prison to do away with Count" Albert Sichofsky, Pol ish adventurer, now held at Ellis Island for deportation. The state officials accounted fol his money received and expended by them.
 The count said he had beer robbed of $2oO.0O0 while servinl time in Folsom and also that al attempt had been made to kil him.

lines became curved and every where light was bent or refracted as it passed through the prisms in- to rainbow bends of color.
 To this new situation Miss Gold schmidt's old habits of space per- ception were poorly adapted. She reached for a pencil and felt only her desk; she walked towards a door and found only wall. Soon, however, she began to 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.
 One of the most surprising of Miss Goldschmidt's results came when she touched a straight sur face which (because of the glasses) looked curved. It felt curved as well. This, Miss Goldschmidt con- cluded seemed to prove the primacy of sight over kinaesthetics, or touch, a point which long has been debated among scientists.
 This was said to have been the first time that prism glasses ex- pertinent ever was tried continuous ly. Miss Goldschmidt plans to con- tinue her studies in psychology at Columbia university.

He relinquish- ed them when he found the right type of men to fill the posts.
