these breakneck precpices.
That night I was the only human being
in this strange dead city. I sat in the
moonlight 14-foot block of granite that
once served as the altar in the temple, and
looked around for the ghosts of the 100 virgins.
That there were these ghosts about, I had no
doubt-some young ghosts, some middle aged
ghosts, some very old ghosts. How was to
know that they were not at that moment
sitting by my Side still lonely and diScon-
solate, still yearning for the temples of Cuzco?
I have called the imprisoned maidens self
sufficient" They were only in so far as
100 normal and healthy young women could
be sufficient without men, without husbands,
without children. I wondered after their re-
moval from all the religious restraints of
Cuzco, if they remained content to be married
only to the sun who gave them his light and
his heat, but not his love. Or were they re-
sentful Of their fate?
But no change, no love, no mate ever came
to these consecrated women. Inevitably the
time arrived when the beauty of the prisoners,
the beauty that had raised them to the sun
gods service had faded and left them safe
from Spanish attack But the habit of fear
was too deep-f1xed. In exile they grew old.
still chaste, still childless Death overlook them
one by one. One by one they were entombed
by their sisters in the burial caves. In time
only few were left alive, very aged very
weary, forgotten by the world, forgetting it.
These also passed, until but two remained.
Then one buried the other-and one lived
on amid the desolate, miraculous granite walls,
the empty temples, the barren terraces with
only virgin shades for company. Already the
ruthless, ravenous jungle was creeping up, all
ready the grass grew deep upon the stair
stepped streets and the bamboos waved above
the temple doors. The city's roofs of thatch
had fallen in; the serpents summed themselves
upon the granite dial since no one ever came
to count the hours. Alone in the midst

quire anxiously. Then Junior would tell
them explicitly just what the moo-cow
says. In 10 minutes they would be back
with the same question.
Junior estimates that during the first
three years of his life he answered
approximately 1850 questions, Of which
58.7 per cent were either What does
the moo-cow say?" or What does the
doggie say?" The remaining 41.3 per
cent consisted chiefly of who's this?"
and "An right, then, who's that over
there?" Apparently the memory of
adults is extremely short, and they are
frequently assailed by doubts as to their
own identity and whereabouts.
THE obvious conclusion is that grown
ups are not quite bright. However,
Junior found that they do react favor
ably to the true-false test. For example,
when his parents asked What does the
moo-cow say?" and he answered Bow
wow!" they Immediately cried "Oh, mol"
and repeated the question. Instinctively
they sensed the fact that something was
wrong.
And in Juniors opinion it is this in
stinct, rather than any acquired intelli-
gence, which governs adult behavior.

Instinct and habit. Grown-ups learn
slowly, but once they grasp an idea they
do not forget it. One seldom hears the
parents of children over years old
asking silly questions about doggies and
moo-cattle.
This indicates that the mature mind
is capable of improvement if given
proper conditioning during the forma-
tive period Of parenthood, and it is to
that end that Junior Milfret and his
kindergarten colleagues are working.

THE PROBLEM PARENT.

and return to bed without opening his
eyes. His reaction was instructive and
automatic
there are only two intuitive fears that
people are born with, the fear of a loud
noise and the fear of loss of support
and he believes that grown-ups suffer
from these fears more than children
do. This Is natural conclusion Almost
every day for the last four years he
has heard his parents anxiously dis
cusSing the possibility of another crash
and the eventual disappearance of the
income from grandmas trust fund.
IN STUDYING his parents reaction to
tactile stimuli, Junior employed va
rious objects such as a half-consumed
lollipop, a rubber doll, and regiment
of little tin soldiers with bayonets. He
found the adult sense of touch well de-
veloped. The lollipop test was tried on
Mr.. Milfret as he was dressing for a
banquet; when the wet candy came into
contact with the front of his dinner
jacket, Mr. Milfret Immediately recoiled
in horror, crying, Take that sticky mess
away" Mrs. Milfrets reaction to the
rubber doll was equally spontaneous; the
doll was left on the bed room floor one
night, and Mrs. Milfret stepped on it
with her bare feet after turning out the
light, she squeaked as promptly as the
doll itself-and much louder. AS for the
little tin soldiers with bayonets, they
were scattered about at random on
chairs and sofas where their unexpected
discovery furnished convincing proof of
adult susceptibility to tactile stimulus.
Junior has also found the grown-ups,
even at an advanced age, are able to
focus their attention upon bright shiny
objects. One Of his earliest recollections
is Of his grandfather who, upon the
slightest provocation would take a gold
watch from his pocket and display it
proudly, saying, Look! Nice tick-tock!"
1t was a very ordinary watch, Junior
says, but the old gentleman never tired
of admiring it.
Animals, too, seem to make a deep
impression upon the adult consciousness.
In his perambulator days Junior no.
ticed that his parents had a passionate
enthusiasm for all four-legged creatures.
"See the horsie, Junior!" they would cry
again and again. Look, Junior, there's
a doggie. See the doggie?" These
ecstatic exhortations continued for hours
unchecked, due to Juniors inability to
reply What Of it?" (He had no teeth
at the time)
And when his parents were not alb
sorbed in actual geological observation,
Junior had to help them with their
home work on the same subject. what
does the moo-cow say?" they would in

 The child thought it over only few seconds and then clearly de- scribed this procedure: First he would fill the five quart pail and from it, fill the quart pail. This would leave two quarts in the five quart pail. He then would empty
 the three quart pail, and pour the two quarts of water in the five quart pail in to the three quart pail. Then, by re-filling the five quart pail he would have exactly seveA quarts of water.
 This problem, which has given pause to many adults of excellent education and good mind, was ab-
 surdly simple to the child. He
 named the cancellations of the
 heavens, the countries of Europe | and South America with descrip- tions of their boundaries, and
 showed himself capable of present. ing a logical argument why an in. come tax was more scientific than a sales tax.
 For while the prodigy was somewhat of burden to his par.

Burglariizng a safe at the home of stanley TiIknis, s9 Draher ave- ntie, a baker, two unmasked men escaped at 2:30 this morning with $500, after they had been caught in the act of footing the safe by a 15syear-old boy, Barney Suieckus. Knocking the lad down and then throwing him on the bed, the men ran out of the building, jumped into a waiting car and sped away. They left behind them a cigar box containing $S1 as they made their successful getaway when surprised by the youth, who had returned to the building, where he lives on te third floor, after having worked with the baker.
 Police, up to an early hour this afternoon, had little to work on, for the boy, as the result of the sudden attack on him by the men, has been unable to give good description of either of the safe robbers. The burglars opened the safe, apparently, by using the conn bination, which they had seemingly learned. Lieut.. Detective Matthew Balanda, who is Investigating, is also working on the possible theory that the safe may have been unlocked.
 The loot comprised receipts gar- nered by Tiknis in the bakery busi-

Numerous Violations of . Probation Privileges

RProbation violations in the form of failure to pay sums set for SUD- Dort of families by court order Will no longer be tolerated in city court if a campaign just begun by court officials works successfully Husbands who have been found guilty of non-support and ordered t6 make weekly payments for wives and children, but fail to do so. will be arrested and sent to jstl.
 Three husbands who failed to keep up payments to their families through the probation officer were Arrested yesterday and faced city Court today. All had their cases continued, but indication was given by the court that no evasion ot weekly payments will be tolerated now or in the future.
 In addition to the arrests made already, 1t is understood that sev- eral more are in order, with old offenders slated to be first in line as Probation Officer Emil Hummel, city court officials and police CO., operate in a new drive against those who fail to obey orders passed in court.
 The latest development has been seen approaching for several weeks. Lately. when passing orders for support, Judge John F. Me- Grath and Judge Edward Mascolo have several times made the stipu- lation that laxity in payments will mean trip to jaill for the guilty husbands, without even the benefit of another hearing in court.
 It is felt in city court circles that 1t iS useless to waste time and money in bringing in old offenders timc after time when they fall be- hind in payments and that few sail sentences will have an exem- plary effect.

City courts usual sedate att mosphere was missing this morn- Ing as four of the city's lawyers engaged in hot controversy over two eases, the hot exchanges reaching the stage of personalities at times. The combatants were At torney Fred Bauby vs. Attorney Joseph Guilfoile and Attorney Mi chael V. Blansf1eld vs. Attorney Ralph Coppeto, with Prosecutor Joseph Neagle on the receiving end of a few pointed remarks from Atty. Guilfoile.
 The battles as nearly as could be figured when the smoke had cleared away, both ended in draws, fer each remark by one barrister found another ready with an equally hot retort.
 Both verbal trays were connect ca. with domestic difficulties in which the combatants were on op- posite sides of the fence. Attorney Guilfoile and Attorney Bauby ex- changed their words over non support case. Atty. Guilfoile charg-- ed that Atty. Bauby was not

New York, Dec 3-(UP)-In New York city is 7-year-old boy almost as smart as Prof Albert Einstein who is just about the smartest man in the world, the educational clinic announced today.
 Einstein's intelligence quotient is 205; the child's is 196. The intelli- gence quotient of Charles Darwin, creator of the celebrated theory of evolution, was 186.
 Identity of the child was with held for his own good. He was taken to the clinic, which is part of New York University, by his mother. She was worried because he was bored by subjects taught in his grammar school subjects he had mastered soon after leaving the cradle.
 Dr Samuel B. Heckman, director of the clinic, professed himself to be amazed. The lad knew his name his address and the addresses and telephone numbers of a dozen rel atives when he was years old. At that time he could talk fiuently using any number of multi-syllable words. He mastered the alphabet at 20 months and at 21 months could recite it backward. At 22 months he could look at any face of any one of 72 child's building blocks and describe from memory the pictures on the other five faces.
 At four he learned to read, un- aided, with newspapers, then with books. Since he was he has read OH an average of one book day He uses any number of long words without self consciousness and with awareness of exact shades of meaning. On their first meeting he amazed Dr Heckman with such words as encyclopedia, evolution, and luminosity.
 "Would you mind signing your name, lad?" Dr Hickman asked. Surely. What sort of a sigma

i giving all the facts when he asked for weekly payments for his client, the accused's wife. Atty. Bauby then charged his legal opponent with exactly the same thing. Pros- ecutor Neagle interrupted to relate that the husband was behind in his probation payments. at which Atty. Guilfoile charged that he also was hiding the real facts. After the battle finally petered out, Judge John F. McGrath con- tinued the case till Saturday morn ing.
 Crusty Arguments
 The verbal battle between Attor- ney Blansfeld and Attorney Coppeto reached even "hotter" proportions. As 1t came to a close, when Attorney Coppeto, repre- senting a husband charged with non-s support, suggested a possible solution to the court which would have his client, after some $500 in insurance had been secured, pay outstanding taxes and bills and then split the remainder with his wife.
 'I think you have an awful crust to make that suggestion" said Atty. Blansfield to Atty. Coppeto.
 And I think you have an aw- ful crust to make a remark like that" retorted Atty. Coppeto.
 Previously the two barristers had several hot exchanges over lit- igation connected with property owned by the defendant and his wife. Judge McGrath continued the case for further study, short- ly after the "crust" remarks.
 The wordS exchanges provides considerable amusement for city court spectators, as it brought to an end the peace pact under which lawyers in city court had been working of late.
