Feeling that the Island people will
support carefully conducted place Of
amusement Mr.. Campbell plans on
giving his full time and effort to con-
Quoting the local show house on the
same lines as the community theatres
of the city are conducted.
It has been long time since the
theatre has been managed by a local
person who understood the Island
people and their tastes. MIR. Camp
bell can surely qualify In this respect
as he has lived here from childhood.
He hopes to. win the confidence Of the
theatre goers who during the past few
years have been discouraged by the
spasmodic attempts of managers
whose local interest was only in the
profits from the business and who
cared little else for the community.
Mr.. Campbell plans to make ours a
show house of high class amusement.

PSYCHOLOGY CUT
W ENTRANCE BARS

IF you really want to remember the
name of person you have just been
introduced to, look him squarely in the
eye and scream 1t at the top of your
lungs. You'll remember 1t as well as
the man who couldn't forget Mr.. Ad-
Olson Sims and made Seattle famous"
DR.. E. R. Guthrie, University of Wash
ington psychologist. advised in an adj
dress this week.
IF you like to handle firearms, it
may indicate unhappy childhood ex-
perience with a neighborhood bully.
If you are Ill at ease at the table may

manners than you could absorb when
you were very young.
women who take to chairs when
mice appear. do so because when they
were little girls they saw their excited
mothers and older sisters doing It," DR..
Guthrie explained in discussing fac
tors in habit formation and their prac-
tical application. Children brighter
than average at five years will con-
tinue to be brighter than average as
long as they live" he declared.
Science can measure exactly most Of
the things in the world, but when a
scientist undertakes to study his fellow
men exact standards are difficult to
establish. Hundreds Of tests and the
study of thousands of cases are neces-
sary before an accurate generalization
can be made, Professor Guthrie ex-
planned. When these cancellations
are reached their practical value i'm
mediately is evident.
Recently the university lowered en-
trance requirements. This action was
not taken because of popular clamor,
DR.. Guthrie revealed, but because
several years of study by university
psychologists and educators showed
that many students previously exclud-
ed would have done quite as well in
their work as those admitted to the
Institution.
Psychology exploded false idea
and as a result the benefits of educa-
ton will be extended to greater por-
ton of the population than formerly y

NEW FULLER MADE
AT Low CASH COST

Using a discarded automobile chassis
an old automobile engine and a as
sembly from chain-driven truck, a
powerful pulling machine can be de-
signed on almost any farm at relative
ly low cost, declares r, N. Miller, ex-
tension land clearing specialist, WASH
ington State college. A pull of from
$4,000 to 10000 pounds can be de-
veloped with an ordinary automobile
engine. Assembling of the puller is
comparatively simple and most farm
machine shops have the necessary
equipment.
Although the machine is designed
primarily for pulling small trees, roots
small stumps and large brush, 1t has
many other uses around the farm. The
machine makes an excellent hay hoist
and can be used for moving small
buildings. 1t is easily adapted to power
for the woodsaw, silo filler, blowers
elevators and other stationary farm
machinery. The low cost of assembly
and maintenance makes the machine
an inexpensive source of power.
Farmers who have time for land
clearing operations will find the stump
puller almost indispensable. Compare
lively large stumps can be removed II
small charge of powder or dynamite
is first used to loosen the ground
Generally 1t is best to be on the safe
side and use blocks on all hard pulls
Blocks, extra chokers, or whip may
be necessary to reduce the strain or
the main line.
Successful operators use sampson
on roots. A Sampson" is a four OF
five foot standard or tripod over which
the line is placed to give lifting pull
on the root. Some operators make O
tripod of about the same height and
anchor a sheave block In the top. They
pass the line over the sheaye pulley
and on to the root.
Farmers unable to attend a demon
stration of the assembly may secure
plans and complete details from the

that this tour of Mr.. showalter's was

Boy Scouts as well as the leaders who
are inspiring them to their best efforts.
