Five Orientals
Taken To Jail

No prospect of a let-up in the
Chinese migration across the inter-
national border was seen today as
five more Orientals were booked at
the county jail after being arrested
near CaleXico by federal immigra-
ton officers.
Jailer Eddie Nett had booked the
Chinese and listed their ages before
they stepped inside the county Jail,
using the telephone to learn their
names from federal officers.
The latest addition to the Chinese
population of the jail bear the
names of Ngau Shing Zip, 81. Wong
Chan, 81, Loo Wing, %, Jung Jam
Foo, 55, and Lee Yit, 70.

Should the charge that Nick Mar inelli, hard-hitting second baseman and "clean-up" man for the Indies. stantiated, the Indies will automatic ally lose all games won to date, in which the player was used, and that means every game played. Marin el1i, an exceptionally hard hitter, who has averaged a hit in every three times at bat, has been playing g. great game with the Indies, who would be very much weakened with out his services.
 Looking It Up
 Investigation by American Legion athletic officials is now under way, and 1t remains for the tow.s clerk of Northampton. Massachusetts, to fur nish evidence of the truth or falsity of the charge against the player. The complaint states that Nick's age reached 17 last November 9th, while the transcript of his birth certificate from Northampton shows his birth date to be November 8, 1914. Mar fnelli has a brother playing with the Indies, and it is alleged that there is mix-up in the ages of the two as the Legion officials have them, and that Nick is really over age.
 Back Again
 The irony of the situation is that the Hopeville Juniors, who were charged with using an ineligible player, Ted Goumy, two weeks ago, will sail into first place if the Brook lyn games are forfeited. Hopeville was found guilty and lost two games in which Goumy played. They have since won enough games to put them in second place. The Waterville Juniors also lost games won in which Frank Leary was used, the in- vestigation being demanded by Will lie Carroll, manager of the Brooklyn Indies, whose team is now under a probe. Due to the unsportsmanlike conduct of some managers, the jug gling of birth oertificates, etc, the league has been more or less of failure this season.

Laughter and the Mind.

Laughter is a sure index Of q mans
intelligence. Such is the dictum of
Prof. Carl G. Gaum of Rutgers Uni
versity, speaking at a conference held
under the auspices of that institution
The dean has elaborated upon the
theme:
Tell me what you laugh at and I'll
tell YOU your mental age. Laughter is
an indication of the intelligence, and of
all the degrees of laughter, the laugh
ter at ones self rates the highest. A
moron, a half-Wit, even an idiot, can
laugh at other peoples mishaps: the
man who can laugh at a superstition
4 custom. q tradition, an institution,
must be an observer; but the man who
can genuinely laugh at himself is truly
intelligent.
Whether or not the highest and most
intelligent form of laughter is that
which is self-provoked, there is little
doubt OF the fairness in general of the
scale Of measurement which rates the
mental quality Of the individual by the
objects of his vocal mirth. Yet often
the sense Of humor" Of even a highly
intelligent person will get the better of
the moral judgment and evoke instant
and hearty laughter at some misfortune
that presents comical aspect. Again
this laughter springs from a reaction
OF relief from strain. Sometimes 1t is

Richard Kleberg has already given

cords the Houston Chronicle. He NAV
De expected to take in national affairs
the thoughtful interest which he has
heretofore exhibited in the affairs of
his native State. In local respects his
selection may be regarded as generally
fortunate No doubt Corpus Christi

that she would be benefited by an i'm

post and OF most recent years the very
large Army flying field gave her the
need Of having the most able and inter-
eSted representation in Congress. With
the best local intent, San Antonio to
this end has heretofore made the grave
mistake of backing Republican. She
felt that to send a Representative of

to do"

the Roanoke WOrld-NeWS contends: 1T
cannot escape observation that every
where the people have had a chance to
express themselves at the polls they
have rejected the HaWley- Smoot tariff
monStroSity and the log-rolling way in
which it was prepared"
1T appears" according to the Spring
field (MaSS) Union, that C. w. Ander-
son of San Antonio, the Republican can
d1date, lodged the prohibition question,
though he was commonly regarded as
dry while both the Democratic candi-
dates declared for submission of the
question of repeating the eighteenth
amendment to the people" The Scran-
ton Times observes that the election
adds to the strength of the modifica-
tioniStS in the Lower House of the ma
tional laWmaking body and gives Texas
a solid Democratic congressional delega-
ton for the first time in II years.
Mr.. Anderson undertook to duck the
prohibition issue" declares the New
York Herald Tribune He made no
definite declaration on the subject
whereas his Democratic opponents stood
squarely for submission of the repeal
of the eighteenth amendment to the peo-
pie. 1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent everywhere that the public is

festation Of sorrow. And II laugh at
any mortal thing said Byron, its
that l may not weep" And Coleridae
spoke Of laughter as loft but an art to
drown the outcry from the heart"
Yet the yammering Of the empty
pate, the buffoonery of the clown, the
loud laugh of the vacant mind are I'M
mistakable evidences. Subtleties of wit
make no appeal to such as these. They
are as of strange language. Yet the
pun, which has been called the lowest
form of wit, has brought roars of
laughter to countless generations and
from persons Of intelligence.
Dean Gaum, as far as he is reported
does not discuss the lack Of laughter as
a means of mental measurement. Is
the one who never laughs at himself
or at others or at any Jest, however
clever, Of supermentality? He is truly a
person to be pitied, even though he
may be an intellectual giant.
The revealing quality of laughter is
not to be measured by its volume. The
loud guffaw, whatever the subject, is no
more indicative Of humor than the
gentle laugh or perhcps even a smile.
which has been called the silent laugh.
There is, however, something provoca-
tive about the ringing LAUGH that rises
spontaneously and instantly at worthy
object. The contagion of humor spreads
from vaccination.
Whether it was Ella Wheeler Wilcox
or Col. John A. Joyce who first wrote
that immortal line, Laugh and the
world laughs with you, weep and you
weep alone" it is certainly true that
laughter makes for kinship and silence
for solitude.

A smoking stand of some sort might
be installed, too.
Since men insist on smoking in and
out of season, elevators should be
equipped for It,
A neat stand would take up little
room and would offer a modern note.
If our living rooms cannot get along
without ash trays and the like, how
can our elevators remain so much be-
hind the times?
AS it is now, men who are smoking
! cigarettes when they enter are forced
to hold them down at their sides, and
thus run the risk of burning holes in
their own or their neighbours overcoat.
Their neighbor does not take kindly
to this process. He, too, would be in
favor of an ash try.
And it is, of course, a great incon-
venience when one enters a lift full of
strangers to find ones self without the
aid of a match.

The hanging bookshelf, popular with

applied to the inner wall of an elevator.
There are any number of small books
which would go we'll in elevators. A
Joke or two per ascent or descent would
be enough.
In time this library privilege might
come to be abused. There might be
some risk of the reading passenger be-
coming a nuisance. Interested in a
story, he would be tempted to stay
aboard until the bitter end.
This could be mitigated. however, by
furnishing only very small books, pre-
ferably filled with jokes, SO that the
reader would not be tempted to take
| them too seriously.
Automatic stops for every floor. both
up and down, might prove to be handy

This would prevent operators from
flying past floor and would save a
great deal of hard feeling all around,
or all up and down.
There is nothing more disconcerting
than to push the bell, wait for the car,
and then to watch it sail by, banners
flying smoke roaring out the exhaust,
bell changing, whistles blaring.

AS a final concession to the great
riding public owners of elevators should
see to 1t that all operators are phi

There is no man who sees more of
the ups and downs of life than the

If men must take off their hats in

Maybe so of them do not believe in

The result is in elevators that men

There they would be, snugly on their
hooks, entirely out Of the way of the
foot traffic.
Men could save themselves a great
deal of trouble by hanging up their hats
the moment they entered instead Of
waiting until just two floors before
getting off.
Some men opposed to removing their
hats in elevators, on solid principles,
they claim, have a notion that they can
escape when they find no woman
present.
In this they are in error. No ele-

as far as three floors, or four at the

a male passenger than to look into the
