SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

UOU, If an advanced high school
or college student, should re-
member the old adage, in time of
peace prepare for war" In other
words, during the tranquil months
of study, when YOU really can
study, prepare for the barbaric
ordeal of examination" with
which an unintelligent educational
regime will confront you at the
end of the term. This means,
first that you must look after
your general health and, next,
that you must get yourself in the
proper frame of mind. am
writing every day about divers
and sundry ways to keep yourself
well in a general bodily sense.
wish now to give you some hints
about maintaining that special
bodily condition that We speak
of as normal mental state.
The student who fears oral ex-
aminations should seek out a pri-
vate coach with a stern rude man
ner and a capacity for Raging.
He should remember that the ex-
aminer who scares him with rough
ways does not necessarily mark
harder than his gentler colleague,
but on the other hand the harsh
in manner are not necessarily soft
in action.
Certain students complain that
they find themselves in pecu-
liarly muddled condition when
ever they come up for exanlina-
tion. They can best deal with
this difficulty by thoroughly re-
Vising their methods of prepara-
tion. For some people cramming
during the last week is invariably
bad, for others it is invaluable.
Whether it will be good or bad
depends on what is called the
reaction time" of memory.
II you find you can remember
facts and figures .best a few hours
or days after committing them TO
memory. then work almost up to
the day of the test, glancing
quickly through notebooks or
Grams" which cover the whole
field of the subject.
If. however, you remember best
a week or so after revising your
work, slack off in the last week
or take holiday. Even If you
belong to the former class you
will probably be the better if you
spend the examination in quiet
recreation. Most students, un.
fortunately. find this difficult TO
believe. To work steadily for three
or six months up to an examina-
tion and then put on extra pres
sure for the final three, two or
one, weeks is manifestly putting
a strain on the mind which it can
not be expected TO bear. The holi.
day to refresh nerve cells and
fibres and put them in good fight
ing trim must come somewhere
within month of the examina-
ton.
For the student who really be-
lieves that final examining is
worth his while. or Is too anxious
to do without it. a week or ten
days holiday should always be
taken a fortnight before the ex-
animation. He must take no
books away with him, must ar.
range to be with pleasant COM
paniops who are not studying the
same subject, and to have plenty
of healthy occupation to fill his
mind.

 Assisted by Reboldo DeChesser. 13, of Chapman street. they start ed to fix the car up Saturday after- noon. After much cogitation, the trouble was located in the spark plugs.

 That evening, however, Johns mother found out that he hal bought a car and she did not like that. She told him that the car would have to go back 10 the boy from whom he had bought it. To- gether they started for his house. When they got there, they found that he was not at home.

WAGER MONEY GOES

Fishermen Disagree on Bible
 Story of Loayes and Fishes

Four men were talking-as men will-about fishing. One said, as men will, "I went up to Bantam lake one weekend to fish. There were four of us and we caught but few fish. We didn't fish very long if we had we'd have caught more than we could use but"
 Here another broke in-as men willard said, "Oh, yes, yes. you decided to be like the men in the parable. The poor four fish or the four loafers.' Much laughter
 At this everyone broke in and cried, There were seven fish" No, there were three" We'll. any, way, as men will-they put money up on it. Two bones apiece.
 Then one, the one who had gone to the lake to fish, asked each one how many loafs-not loafers-and how many fish there were, accord ing to him-in the parable. The numbers ranged from seven to two. But no one seemed to know. They had all gone to Sunday school when small boys and some had even taught Sunday school. F'inally-"The best idea is to ask minister" But which minister? After four had been called by telephone and had been out one asked waiter. "Who is the best minister in this town ?" The writer disappeared and return ed with the answer, Chief Hart sir. or so I was told, sir"
 One man appealed to table near them. Do you know of any good ministers of the gospel who could tell us who wins this mon- ey?"
 The answer came readily. "Why yes. We know some but we couldn't vouch if they are good or not"
 At last they called Dr. J. F. Klingberg. He told them there were five loaves but he didn't believe it stated how many fish there were The mon who had guessed seven groaned-as men willard those who had guessed. oh. so luckily crowcd-as men will. But as for the fish? Little fishes in the brooE- no, 1t was lake-how many? Eeny-Meeny-Miny-Mo.
 Someone produced Bible. Tn the first of the three gospels Matthew. was found a contradictory state ment. Five loaves, two fishes-and seven loaves and few fishes. Who was 10 decide? Eight dollars and no one had the right to it. One philanthropical man up and stated. "As this is the only decision we can rightfully come to-" and he laid his plan-as most men will
 About eight o'clock Sunday even- ing $500 was presented to Dr. Klingberg for his Children's Home fund. When asked the donors names he found that they came from Canada and Waterbury,. But they went out of the city wonder ing just how many fish there were and if there were seven or five loaves-as men will, but not be- grudging their money-as men will

PUBLICITY URGED
 IN LATIN DISPUTES
Institute Of Politics Told State
 Intervention Facts

Williamstown, Mass. Aug. 5.-tPl The full spotlight of publicity should be thrown by the state de- partment upon all it's interventions in Latin America. Prof. Herbert I. Priestley of the University of Cali fornia today told the delegates of the Institute of Politics in opening the of the United States interests in Latin America.
 Public Entitled to Know
 The nation is entitled to know what interests are being served by United States intervention in Latin American affairs, what the indirect effect is likely to be upon the tax payer and upon the man who serves his governments Colors,' Prof. Priestley said. land if it is to know those things. publicity must be given to the state departments activities.
 "The Unted States is not obliged to interfere in every little squabble that occurs among the citizens of Latin A hlntllC lCul count IollllIutI lllN speaker. Diplomatic aid is a matter of policy; the power of the president and of naval officers is largely dis cretionary. and is limited only by the judgment of those executive officers in the performance of duty in ac- cordance with the traditions of law and policy"
 In a discussion of the protection of life and property in the Caribbean Prof. Priestley said, although on one hand the state department has never supported the demand voiced by American interests abroad that various countries of the Caribbean should be "Cubanzed' on the other hand the United States has been a little slow in appreciating the ef- feet of unhappy psychological reac tions created by the impairmen of our sovereignty in the Caribbean
 Freed from European Yoke
 He further declared that political sovereignty supported by blind at tachment and Hispanic traditions of ultra-legalism had preserved the countries of the Caribbean area from the European encroachments inn posed upon the Near and Far East under the guise of eXtra-territorial- ity.
 A round table conference on post war changes in Europe brought from George Young, labor member of the British parliament the observation that a marked tendency was now noticeable in Europe to renounce parliamentary government for per sonal government or dictatorships.
