An Experiment.


Some years ago two men planned
and carried out an experiment on the
witness" capacities of 40 business
men.
The experiment consisted in the
enactment of a carefully rehearsed fake
quarrel. There were 40 witnesses, all
reliable business men. When the
storm" cleared, the witnesses were
asked to reduce their observations to
writing, since the whole affair appeared
to be a case for the courts.
What were the results? Thirteen Of
the forty men failed to record 500 Of
the important events of the light"
And even In the recorded events some
thing like 500 Of the statements were
In, error.
What Is the reason for erroneous and
incomplete observation of human
events?
The same thing that keeps you from
seeing through the tricks of a sleight-
of-hand artist And that thing Is the
fact that your observation is directed
toward the face of the performer in
stead of toward his bodily movements.
In other words, an eyewitness doesn't
see what is going on because, as rule,
his attention is conferred upon the per-
sonalities of the participants instead
of upon unfolding events.

pink. greenish yellow, grays and neutral
tones. For FAN and Winter warmer
colors seem to be more appropriate. We
take a hint from nature and choose
the rich autumnal hues-reds, orange,
yellows and browns, with touches of
cool colors as contrast, perhaps. Black,
which is always modish, may give a
cool or warm effect, according to the
fabric and design. Used with white
or in sheer or lacy materials, it loses
its heavy somherness; with touches of
strong contrasting color and just the
latest cut, it makes very smart cos
tunes with no hint Of the funereal
about them.

Bits of Crepe de Chine in Collar.

And that's the ideal in any fashion
such varied detail that you can take 1t
or leave it, as you choose.
The sketch today shows pretty little
collar made of bits of crepe de chine, in
color or white, fringed, and fastened in
a bias band that Is basted into the
neckline of the dress. Each little piece
of crepe de chine is about an inch and
a half wide and two and half inches
long, and each is stitched up like tube
and turned right side out and pressed,
then fringed and stitched into the bias
bands.

Handwriting

THIS is a good example Of angular
writing. Note that the letter
forms are pointed as are the
connecting strokes between let
tiers. Generally this type Of
writing is an indication of a highly
intelligent person. He seems to have
an analytical mind, with the ability
quickly to determine the root Of a ques-
ton. This leads us to believe he would
be a success in organization work.
He perhaps cares little for personal
contacts, as indicated by his vertical
writing. The open base to the IS"
however, leads us to believe he Is gen
erouS with his few intimateS.
The upward slanting THAR tells OF
an optimistic and cheerful nature. Al
though he may have had hardships
and disappointment at times, he has
probably been able to overcome them.
This has apparently given him belief
in himself and conviction that he
can surmount any difficulties.
Notice the hooks on the THAR and
on the ending strokes. These with the
very decided idiot are suggestions OF
very determined person. The sharp
loop ending of the "g" is another sim
liar suggestion. It seems as though
he must insist upon having his own
way He probably feels that his way
is always best. Though he may fire.
uuently be right, his insistence will an
tagonize many who might more grace
fully have been swayed to his ideas.
Outdoor sports will appeal to him.
Games such as tennis, however, where
the personal equasion Is important,
would interest him most.

GIVING THE WEST A STONE.

The Presidents Commission the Conservation and Administration of the Public Domain headed by James R. Garfield, of Ohio, has submitted to MT Hoover its final report which contains certain recommendations of vital import to the public land States, mainly Western, and to Alaska, most of whose domain is vested in the public Appointed about one year ago. the Commission devoted great deal of time to the study of conservation, flood control, the ownership of nonmneral and nonfor- ested well as mineral and forested public lands and allied subjects.
 In general it recommended that all public land, except that required for national defense reclama- ton purposes reservoir sites national forests na- tona parks, national monuments, and migratory bird refuges should be granted to the States in which the land lies, provided that such States will pass an Act in due form accepting the conveyance. However, this limited restoration to the States of property which they rghtfully regard theirs is conditional. Mineral rights in lands known to contain minerals should be reserved to the Fed eral Government. Only on purely agricultural and grazing lands would the States rights be unhamper- ed by the leading strings of Federal control Before relinquishing control of mineral lands the Federal authority it is recommended would require the States to accept the same theory and practice of conservation that held by the former. In this connection the report said: "The nation is com mitted to a policy of conservation of its mineral resources We believe the States are conscious of

ALAsKA's FIRST FARMER" IS DEAD.

He labored diligently, intelligently and with truly scientific bent of mind beyond the age of retire ment and yielded reluctantly when failing health and the burden of the years became too much for him to withstand. He felt for Alaska an abiding love. In his death the Territory loses one who was loyal and willing servant and whose faith in it's ultimate destiny never wavered.

the importance of such conservation but there, $
 diversity of opinion regarding any program which
 has for its purpose the wise of those resources
 Such program must of necessity be based upon
 uniformity of Federal and State legislation and administration will safeguard the accepted prin- cipes of conservation and the reclamation fund
 When such a program is developed and accepted by any State States concerned these resources should be transferred to the State"
 This kltSS of restoration of their sequestered re- sources does not begin to square with the view ex- pressed several months ago by Secretary Wilbur of the Interior Department of what should be done in the premises Nothing intimated then, nor by any member of the Administration since that the most valuable portion of the undeveloped lands of the States would be withheld from them. There was no suggestion that the forests be continued as natonalzed timberlands nor that the mneralized sections would be kept by Federal authority until it's theories of conservation should be swallowed whole by the public land States
 It is evident from the report itself that the Commission did not believe the proposition would be acceptable to the States It foresaw that some of the public land States there are IT of them owing to the expense involved in administration of nonproftable grazing and agricultural lands would refuse to be duped into taking a dead horse off the Federal Governments hands In that event, the Commission proposed that such rejected land be turned into a national range in each State not accepting the offer It would be astounding, indeed if any State did accept it. Not a one of them would be the gainer. For years they have been urging return of all their resources which are held in national control They were given reason to believe their requests would be given favorable hearing by the Hoover administration. But the Commission which MT Hoover appointed to draft program, has offered them stone instead Of and kent t1e far toe Eada ernment. To accept the stone now would not benefit them, but it would form bar in the future to any additional efforts to all of their resources which by right they ought to have now to administer the best interests of each State demand

Holidays and Happiness.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Perhaps it is the short span of our national history, perhaps the demands of a ma- chine civilization which holds US in America to paucty of holidays In few countries of the world are there less than twice three times the num- Der we celebrate by stopping work, and many coun- tries have ten times quota.
 Most of doubtless would confess to bit of least a week for blissful idleness. The His panic countries have a host of religious holidays and other festas, sometimes observed, sometimes not, but convenient in any case
 India and China find their calendars quite clut- tered up with special occasions. Hindus and Mo- hammedans Sikhs and Christians all have their own holidays, and usually incline celebrate those of all other sects.
 Harbin is said to hold the record in this re- holidays of China, Japan and most Western eoun- tries and lately has added two Soviet holidays as if to show it's civic tolerance and mpartiality
 But there is consolation for Americans. If their complex industrial mechnism which must keep moving is rigid in it's demands and allows few days free, it is also true that that mechanism has shortened working hours by third half. While coolies in China and India work ten eleven twelve hours each day, they surely need penti- ful scattering of holidays through their calendar.
 And while Russians toll under painful condi- tons in the throes of their fve-year plan, they need Sunday every five days instead of every seven. Our lot is much easier here despite the infrequency of formally designated festive days
