# DISCIPLINED

NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan 2
0N.S).-Data proving that strict
discipline makes people inefficient
has been obtained by a scientist
who tested students with ver-
sion of that ancient carnival pas
time of trying to knock over doll
babies with a baseball.
In solemn session, the members
of the psychology section of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science heard how
the students always missed the
dolls, SO to speak. whenever they
knew they would be penalized for
bad aim.
Conversely. when they were
left to their own devices, with
only the natural impulse to excel
inspiring them, the students
knocked the doll babies, so to
speak, light and left.
The tests were conducted by
Or. Rex Livingston Hoke. pro-
fessor of psychology at Morehead
State Teachers College. Kentucky.

BLACK MARIA

EOR many years it was not the
blue chariot" that carried disturb
ers of the peace and petty felons off
to Jail; police raided dives and gam
bling joints, but they didn't bundle
their captives of in a cage ON
wheels" Instead, they sent for the
"Black Maria" and thus paid dubious
honor to one Of the most un-Boston-
like of our early Bostonians.
In old Colonial days negress
named Maria Lee kept prosperous
sailors boarding house in Boston. Sh.
was woman of gigantic stature and
prodigious strength, and used them to
good advantage in maintaining quiet
and order not only in her own estab-
lishment but all up and down the wa
ter front-and this in day when
ships carried canvas and sailormen
ashore were wont to be roistering
and liberty-taking lot. Such was her
repute for instilling awe and obedi-
ence into the hearts of the lawless
that the police authorities frequently

1t is said that she once, single-handed,
herded into the lookup three trembling
sailors, lately bold and staggering
seamen on too-riotous shore leave.
Finally, so often did the strong arm
Of the law lean for assistance on the
stronger arm of Maria Lee that to
"send for Black Maria" became
synonymous with "send for help in
getting this disorderly person to jail";
and the name "Black Maria" thus
passed to the police wagon or patron
to which it has stuck until the gang
ster and racketeer have coined for
them new terms more in keeping with
the modern scene.

Edinburgh. Doctor Bell gained his
first fame as dfagnostfcian through
methods Of acute observation of detail
and keen analysis, he solved mysteries
Of disease that had baff1ed all others.
