simple drawings, Sucn as q square OF
triangle, in the Binet test. Asked to
copy a drawing OF a triangle, many OF
the children drew circles. Very simple
form board tests, much used in institu-
tions for the mentally defective. proved
complete failures on the first attempt.
Yet, according to Mr.. Davis, who
worked with the form board and whose
chief objective is to work out some form
of test based on the experience of these
children which will measure adequately
their intelligence for use in whatever
educational program is inaugurated In
the future. the results actually showed
great promise. The learning curve was
almost sensational. Children In Their
teens on the first trial with the form
board would make almost as many
errors as it was possible to make, SIM
ply because they had no conception OF
form or ability to distinguish between
for instance. q triangular block and q
circular block. Then Davis would ex-
plain and demonstrate patiently. The
second trial would show only two OF
| three errors. Another demonstration
and the third trial would be a com
plete success.
Training Need Is Apparent.
This result seems to indicate that the
lack of sense of form is not funda.
mental, but due to complete lack Of
training. The brain itself is good an6
able to master an unfamiliar situation
quite rapidly. ALI the scientists were
convinced that the children could bs
educated very well. although 1t might
be a dificult process if the environment
were unchanged. There must be more
adequate stimulation of the senses. Ar

CLEAN KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
LOTS OF WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
If Bladder Bothers
or Back Hurts.

Eating too much rich food may
produce kidney trouble in some
form, says well-knoWn authority,
because the acids created excite the
kidneys. Then they become over
worked, get sluggish, clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges,
severe headaches, acid stomach,
constipation, torpid liver, sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irrita-
ton.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If
bladder bothers you, begin drinking
lots of good water and also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any good pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
years to flush c1ogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the system
so that they no longer irritate, thus
often relieving bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes delightful effervescent
Iithia-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to help keep the kidneys and
urinary organs clean, thus often
avoiding serious kidney disorders.

WORK AGAIN is
c. 0. P. TARGET
Enmity Toward Dixie Chief
Resented by Fort.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Hu-
bert Work, Republican national
chairman, again became the center
of a controversy today when it was
learned that Representative Frank
lin Fort of New Jersey, secretary
of the national committee, does not
like his political chiefs hostile at
titude toward Colonel Horace Mann,
Hoover's southern campaign man
ager.
Since all parties have brought
their complaints to President Hoo
ver-Mann, Work and Fort-it is
probable the President will be forced
to decide whether the Mann or
Work policy will be followed in re-
organizing the G.. 0. P. below the
Mason and Dixon line.
Temporarily Hoover has kept out
Of the quarrel between Mann and
the national committee, but there
are indications he yet may inter-
vene.
In resentment against Works eff
fort to eliminate Mann's influence,
the latter has washed his hands of
practical politics and has dropped
out Of the southern reformation
movement. Despite general ap-
prevail of his success in handling the
campaign in the south the national
committeeman are willing to let
him quit.
His proposal for a lilly white" re-
gime is known to have been disap-
proved by some politicians.
