WOMEN SUCCEED BY TAKING HINTS?

If women do not well as do men, they
are better at taking hints with the result that they
more nearly approach the achievements OF men
This is one of the conclusions drawn from series
of reasoning tests given 384 students of the Uni
versity of Michigan by DR.. Norman H B. Maier OF
that universtys psychology department reported in
the British Journal of Psychology.
Using students in the beginning psychology
course subjects, DR.. Maier divided them into
two groups one of which received some general
hints on what not to do when solving problems
presented The other group received no suggestions.
The problems varied from abstract puzzles, such
as dividing equally odd-shaped diagrams, to con-
stsuctive work with simple material available. The
group receiving suggestions were from 20 to 40 per
cent more efficient In variation of the expert
mant, the 384 students subjected to two prob

EXPORT SURPRISES

He asked Peek to resign his post
as Administrator of AAA and take
over a new division in the State
Department, created to open new
markets abroad for domestic, farm,
and industrial products, on the
basis of the American demand for
imported wines and liquor.
1t is necessary, perhaps, to under
stand something of Peek's back
ground to appreciate the Presi-
dents finesse in this move.
Peek's lifelong idea of farm eco
Monies is the expectation of sur
pluses.
He was foremost among those
who carried on the three-year fight
in Congress for the passage of the
McNary- Haugen farm relief bill. He
was father of the plan for an ex-
port corporation to find foreign
outlets for some 25,000,000 bushels
of Pacific Northwest wheat, which
a few months ago was backing up
into the interior and depressing
domestic prices.
Much already has been exported,
with benefits claimed for wheat
prices in this country.

NEW YORK, JAM 11-Out of the

AT ALL TIMES
Bewilders SIN ATTEST of
Political Strategists,
Certain Times
BY HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's knack of extricat-
ing himself and his Administration
from an embarrassing situation just
when the odds seem against him,
bewilders the smartest of political
strategists at times.
They still talk about the way he
handled the Hull-Moley situation
following the World Economic Con-
ference at London.
And now, some close observers
says that his procedure in bringing
about peace in the AAA will be set
down as one of the neatest bits of
strategy seen in Washington for a
long time.
The Peek-"Young Liberals" row
in the AAA had caused the Ad-
ministration much concern. The in
side efforts of Secretary Wallace
to persuade the two factions to
compose their differences, long be-
fore the dispute flared into the
open, is evidence of this.
1t was only when it became APP
parent that the differences over
policies seemed hopeless Of recon-
Citation that the President moved
to end the controversy.

PROVIDING FOR HONEST wHIsKEY

The Board of Health of New York City has
admirably pointed out way in which tne sellers
of legal whiskey can be required to inform their
BUYERS exactly the kind and of the wares
they purvey Under amendment to the sanitary
any whiskey that is not labelled to show Cd whether
it is straight blended or mere imitation; W the
age and percentage of each whiskey in blend'
CD the ingredients of imitation whiskey. Thus
if the whiskey is not straight, the label OF eacn
bottle must be shown what straight whiskey is used
and what percentage and what percentage OF alcohol
and water are added. If it is an imitation, the
label must show exactly what ingredients are used
and the proportions of each.
The insufficiency of the countrys stocks OF aged
whiskey and the high prices that have been current
new processes of rapid aging In the long run
these Whistles going to sell in quantities and
at prices justified by the public taste. But, no
matter what the merit shortcomings OF particular
types of liquor the buyer is entitled to know just
what he is buying That is all that the New York
code requires.
The benefits too obvious to need enumeratlne
in detail In the long run, the distllers, dealers
and sellers all will benefit. If Alaska is given the
power to control the liquor traffic within its own
borders as hasybeen strongly indicated by Chairman
McDuffie Of the House Committee Insuar Affairs
a similar system would work well here. No matter
what system of purveying is adopted the public has
a right to protection from cheats and dishonest
distillers and purveyors and such requirement
can in no way injure the scrupuous producers.

Uncle Sam is the largest shareholder in the

He attained that position by buying through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation something Ike

Illinois Bank and Trust Company, the sale having
been approved recently by the banks directors.
Uncle Sans banking investments go great

out the country. Among all his other interests
he is becoming banker pretty extensive scale.

that such consummation would be desirable

FARMERS LOOK
TO EXPERTS TO
Be GIVEN AID
Must Find Pay Crops to
Offset Reduction
in Acreage
By F. r. COTTON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Presi-
for new crops for the American
farmer is on, to replace lowered
production of wheat, corn, cotton
and tobacco under the administra-
tons acreage reduction program.
Thousands of farmers must be
given something new to raise on
land formerly devoted to the four
staples-new crops which viii be
profitable and at the same time
offer no new menace of over-pro-
duction-says Knowles A. Ryerson,
new chief of the federal bureau OF
plant industry.
Ryerson plunged waist deep in
to the new crop hunt when he
took office January 1, for the
bureau was swamped with letters
from farmers who want to know
what they are to grow on large
areas of good land ON which they
no longer may grow the old major
crops.
Hunting new crops, however, will
be no novel experience for the Al
year-old scientist, for he has roam
ed the earth seeking out new and
better plants for Uncle Sam. In his
present position as chief of the de-
partment of agriculture's division
of plant introduction he has spon-
sored experiments with many new
and improved crop plants. In his
new post he succeeded DR.. W. A.
Taylor. veteran of AZ years service
in the department.
Much of the marginal land can
best revert to pasturage or forest
but many good farms will remain, >
says Ryerson. New crops for them
must be profitable enough to en-
able the farmer to pay his taxes
interest on his mortgages and gain
good living yet diversified enough
so that no new problem of over
Production will arise.
Why DC 0Chkto AAuihe
1.-THE future hunt for new crops
will be more of a hunt for genes
the units of heredity-than for
new plant varieties. New crops with
greater resistance to disease, cold
and drought, with greater yields
and more favorable times of ma
turing are being bred by crossing
plant types containing these desir-
able characteristics
New crops to provide raw mate
rails for industry rather than food
also are possibilities.
| - The problem of new crops is in
many respects unique Ryerson ex-
plains. Many crops which might
replace the staples already exist
but the market for them is I'M
known. The nations future tariff
policies will play part, for many
products now imported could be
grown in this country if tariff walls
were high enough.
Large areas where some of the
staples have been grown success
fully are not adaptable to many
other crops because of aridity OF
short seasons.
Turning back many margina.
lands to grazing may help, Ryer-
son believes.

solved by twice as many individuals as the other
problem.
Because the suggestions were, in general, advice
against depending habitual patterns of thought
and blind persistence in attempting to solve prob
lens and because the tasks best done when
the hints were given, it is concluded from the
experiments that the type of reasoner most sue
cessful in problem solving is the one who can
