You agreed to help them if they

AS Psychologists Sum
Up "Mind and Matter

Mind is nothing but the unobserv-
able, delicate movements Of bodily
parts. There are those who may
dispute this fact to some extent.
Your day dreams include your
ideals and your generosity, as well
as your flights from reality.
You will find more prodigies in
the realm of music than anywhere
else.
Pythagoras inaugurated the super
stitution that uneven numbers are
lucky numbers. Uneven things have
always seemed more mysterious than
even things.
You really have three vocabularies:
One each for speaking, writing and
reading. They increase in size in the
order named.
The average male brain weighs
three and One-half pounds. Perhaps
this is merely a physiological fact.
The size of the brain is not always
an indication of psychological abil-
tiles.
The dreams you remember are the
ones you have just as you 90 to
sleep, or just when you are waking.
Twins are more alike mentally
between the age of nine and eleven
than they are between twelve and
fourteen. Individual differences
show m at adolescence
Girls mature mentally earlier than
boys.
An adult at the age of forty-five
learns as easily as he ever did.

 The guests gathered at MT. Tay- ,lor's home to receive initial in- lstructidns as to how to proceed, then in five cars started out to hunt. the hidden directions. They were first to proceed to the Thane Road where further instructions were supposed to be hidden in small cans placed beside the road, and there the hunt was complicat- ed by the disappearance of the directions, which were all written 'inpscode. X Through the unexpected of an ally, the hunters
 discovered that they were to go to Tolch Rock near Montana Creek to find the next set of coded in- esttuctions,' then under bridges. etc, fThc merry hunt continued with
 the drivers of the different cars going at. top speed in an attempt to be the first to reach the treas ure. The exciting adventure ended at ahe beach cottage of Mrs. Sommers sonA Fritz Cove where a delicious

Unless Curtailment Made at Once, Local District

"The limit catch for Area ? be- tween Cape Spencer and Willapa Harbor will be reached very early unless action is taken by the fleet themselves to curtail the present rate of landings. Already three million pounds of fish have been landed from this area more than last year at the same time.
 The catch limit in each area was fixed by the Commission at such amounts as it deemed could safely be taken without damage to the future supply This was done after full public hearings at which the Commission pointed out, very definitely that unless there were some form of curtailment the sea- son would close early. It was further pointed out that, unless the treaty should be amended, the Commission had no power to spread the catch over longer season, but this would have to be done by the fleet itself.
 Some Have Curtailed
 "The Commission is informed that the vessel owners and fish. ernlen made a sincere attempt to work out voluntary curtailment and that a large part of the fleet did curtail,, This fact, together with general business improvement, prob- ably caused the, rise in halibut prices Many vessels in Area ?, however, did not join in the cur- tailment, and unless those inter- ested in this area themselves im- mediately take hold of the situa-. ton the limit will probably be reached by September l and Area 2 closed.
 Full warning was given last year in regard to this situation, and it is now desired to repeat the warning. The members of the Commission would regret exceed ingly to see any distress among the fishermen and hope that steps will promptly be taken for such cur tailfnent as will prolong the sea- son" fs

 In recent widely discussed Kidnapping caEe we were able to solve the crime because the family notified us immediately. We instructed them in fofward- ing all mall to cur offices in such way that the finger prints on the envelopes were preserved. These prints solved the case. In another case the kidnapers used an airplane. Obviously, no private family could hope to deal effectively with such modern meth ods. The only way is to turn to such agencies as the bureau of in vestigation, that is equipped to cope with the present-day organ ized underworld.
 How Time Is Lost
 We were not notified of the O'Connell Kidnapping until Monday night. The young man disappeared Friday. We learned of it through a telegram to Senator Copeland of New York. That meant four days of supremely valuable time was lost.
 Let me emphasize again, the C. sx. Cefruo finrn depend on federal officers for quiet, efficient secret operations The spirit of this department is, first and last, to get re- suits. ~sA
