P. Boyle, chief of detectives said yester-
day that approximately $500 believed
to have been given by Michael KATE
millionaire druggist, to a gang of ex-
tortioniSts who are reported to have
kidnapped him recently, had been To-
Gated in Kansas City banks.
Chief Boyle said he had established
that the Katz Drug Co., through a con-
f1dential agent of the bank with which
1t does business, obtained 500 900 in
currencE about the time Iichael KatZ,
the companys president, was reported to
have been abducted, March 10.
The kidnaperS are reported to have
been lid the 100000 or Katzs re-
lease. KatZ has refused to confirm the

have e9acted a promise of silence by
threats that further harm would come
to him IL he talked.
Part Of the 100000, which was
traced through records kept at the
Federal Reserve Bank, Logan to make its
way back into circulation in the city

Everyday Psychology

High and Low Brows.

For more than a century this
general opinion has prevailed: Per-
sons with high brows are more intelli-
gent than those with low brows This
opinion has been so universally ac-
cepted that 1t would appear that none
but low-brow would dare challenge it.
In 1918 Sir Charles Goring, a Brit
ish scientist, made a study of 800 Brit
ish convicts. He took the trouble to
investigate the brow question by means
of accurate measuring instruments in
stead of by mere opinion. Sir Charles
came to the conclusion that the brow
proposition was a superstition. In fact,
he found that something like the actual
reverse of popular opinion was more
likely to be true
The 500 con lets were classified into
four groups-intelligent unintelligent,
weak minded and irnbeciles. Then he
measured their brows.
His figures are as follows: The brows
of the intelligent group averaged so
millimeters; the unintelligent, So MILL
meters; the weak-minded, 81 mi;lime-
tiers; the imbeciles, So millimeters
Further study of his figures revealed
that ii members of the intelligent
group had lower brows than any Of
the imbeciles.
OF course, Sir Charles was studying
special class-convicts. Perhaps YOU
can't depend on figures from that
source. But the figures stand.

He practiced the aforementioned trade

If he was not skillfu1 barber he was

the wearing of tuft of beard beneath

initiate.
Louis banished his mother, Marie de

power behind the throne. Louis was
so stingy with Marie that she lived in
poverty, and when she died at Cologne
in 1912, leaving some small requests to
persons who had been kind to her. she

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN \. GUM.
Optimistic Outlook.


st had tainted, unless had believed
to see the goodness of the Lord in the
land of the living. "-Ps., xxvii.13.
David was an optimistic soul. The
note of optimism abounds in his psalms
He Is always singing of conquest and
victory.
There were many times when he
seemed to be defeated, when to all ap-
pearances he was down and out" But
even on such occasions he kept his eye
on the shining goal ahead. He never
darkest periods of his life we see him
standing at the east window, peering
through the darkness, waiting and
watching for the morning." And he
never doubted the morning would come.
Not only was David optimistic con-
corning his own personal fortunes; he
believed 1.-The goodness of the Lord" would
triumph "in the land of the living" He
saw around him q great deal Of bad
ness, but he saw also great deal that
was good, and he believed that ulti-
nately the good would triumph over
the bad.
From beginning to end David's career
was marked by great adventures and
great achievements. He was always
ready to do, ready to dare, ready for
every enterprise that challenged him.
Even in old age he did not lose the
zest of living, the sense of adventure,
the thrill of achieving. The secret Of
it all was his optimism. Whatever his
circumstances, whatever the conditions
surrounding him, David, with unfalter-
ing faith In God, maintained an optim-
istic outlook upon life and upon the
world.
But in our personal affairs and in our
efforts to serve the world we have to
face the same sort of discouraging cir
curnstances and disheartening condi-
tions as those David faced. To be con-
ouerors and winners we must learn the
secret of the optimistic outlook.

My Neighbor Says:

If cake is put in too slow an
oven, 1t often rises over sides of
pan and is of very coarse tex
ture. If put into too hot an
oven, it browns on top before
sufficiently risen, and, in its at
tempt to rise, breaks through
the crust, making an unsightly
loaf. Cake will also crack on
top If too much flour has been
used
Vinegar used In water in which
bright pink and green cotton
materials are rinsed makes ma
terials of these colors brighter.
After squeezing the juice from
a lemon save the skin and, after
peeling vegetables, rub 1t over
your fingers. 1t will remove all
discolorations. Do not use water
or soap until after rubbing your
hands with lemon.
Beat soap flakes into foam
with the egg beaten. Fewer
flakes will be required. and bet
