Sure Of Strong Squad.

quiz Va Ssloh6 oAS~A'
OBVIOUSLY at such long range,
~ with the matches a year ahead,
Francis couldn't say who will be
chosen to represent America in the
next Walker Cup tilt. But he pre-
dicted that a team sufficiently strong
to successfully defend the cup might
well be drawn from the ranks Of the
boys who played here last week. Writ
ing on the back of lemonade check
Francis made tentative list OF boys
who, he thought, could go well in
any international match.
Here they are: Ed White Of Texas,
Woodie Malloy of Michigan, John
Fischer of Michigan, who was mem
Der of the last Walker Cup outfit;
Charlie Yates Of Georgia Tech, Harry
Candy and Walter Emery of Okla
homa, Freddie Haas of Louisiana State
and Wilson Marks CT Princetoo. Il
think q team made up of those boys
would give a good account of them
selves in any e.,mpe tition," Francis
declared.
The tall Bostonian, looking like a
man Of 80 instead of the AZ he actual
ly is, thinks that America has a great
chance to continue its Ulbroken series
of victories in the Walker Cup matches
at Pine Valley next year. THE Brit
ish are fine sportsmen and great COM
petitors. They have always put up
q great scrap, but frankly, they do
boys. Perhaps it is because Britain
hasn't the young golfers We have and
it may be because they choose their
men on past reputation instead of
present greatness

Bridal Outfit Mystery At
 Bristol Bay

Mrs. Frank H. Waskey, writing from the Waskey home in Pumpkin Center, the Bristol Bay area, to the Anchorage Times, reports mystery as to the arrival there of a bundle containing what appears to be a brides rousseau or wedding outfit, and also gives an interesting report on the progress of their little daugh- ter, Susie, and Susie's little cousin, Betty Smith Susie and Betty were
 injured by log rolling on them al their home when they were playing last fall. They were brought to Anchorage by a plane mounted on skis which Pilot Sasseen landed here on bare ground at Merrill Field before snow had fallen Mrs Was key and Dr. WalkowSki also were in the plane. The little girls were in the Anchorage hospital for weeks being treated, and made many good friends there. After they had left, say the hospital staff, they were greatly missed, and it seemed the hospital had lost its sunshine. Mrs. Waskey's letter to the Times follows
 Pumpkin Center, Alaska, March 4: Nearly three months ago Star" plane came to pick up MT. Waskey and brought me a package at the same time. I supposed it was some of Betty's and Susie's things, but on opening it, found it was packed full of what appeared to be brides outfit-lingerie, bed linen, etc. At the first opportunity l wired the Star Air Service, but diligent in- quiry on their part has so far failed to reveal the owner.

Betty's folks try faithfully to keep her off her leg, but she will walk a little when on one is watching her. I wish I could thank personally all the dear people in Anchorage who did so much to make life bright for them. Both girls talk lot about Pat and Jim" Susie especially remembers a MT. Pillow whom Betty says is Mir Sparrow, one of the patients, judge, Of course they speak often of the nurses Susie told me Miss Wilson took her down town in a sled one day. Later she informed us that the sled had wheels! She had never seen a baby buggy, of course.

CHICAGO, April 8.-High intelli-
gence quotients are being overstressed,
DR.. Paul A. Witty, professor of educa-
ton at Northwestern University, de-
clared today as his conclusion of a

Frequently, said DR.. Witty, who di-
rects the university's psycho-educa-
tional clinic. school children who fail
in their studies. or who constitute
behavior problems, are above the av-
erage in intelligence and are not
necessarily mentally inferior TO their
classmates.
There is far too much concern
| given to high 1. O." DR.. Witty as
serted. High I. @. is certainly not
a synonym for genius, nor do we have
an indication of any future great
ness when young person is found
with an adult I. @.
Many cases occur where other
factors, such as industry and self
direction, are presented In pupils
with an I. @. regarded as low"
He found that of the children sent
to the clinic because of certain be-
havior problems 1911 per cent were
superior mentally, rs per cent we're
gifted and only very small per-
centage" were decidedly deficient in

Delano Robbins, American Minister to
Canada. have worked closely with
Mr.. Robbins during recent years and
I know the enthusiasm, the interest
and the ability with which he has
discharged his duties.
His many years OF experience in
the foreign service, which he entered
in 1909, and his personal charm en-
abled him to make very real and very
practicable contributions to the
friendly relations between Canada and
the United States"
Pierre Boal, counselor of the legation
in Ottawa, will become charge DAT
faires pending the appointment of
Robbins successor.
State Department officials said no
consideration has been given to the
appointment of a new Minister and
expressed doubt that the President
would take any action in the immedi-
ate future.
Charles v. Inlay, lawyer, and class
mate of Mr.. Robbins, recalled today
that MIR. Robbins addressed a gather
ing Of his old Harvard classmates, the
class of 1908, in New York City two
weeks ago.
1T was the first time in many
years that Warren was able to meet
with his class, the New York associa-

Mrs. Robbins spent last Monday in
Washington arranging for the opening
of her Georgetown home-at 1884
Twenty-eighth street. The Robbins
family had occupied this house off

Robbins diplomatic career.
Shortly before the World War, Mr..
Robbins was called to Washington
and assigned to duty in the division
of Latin affairs of the State Depart
ment. He held the post one year.
Later he came back to the city in
various capacities in the diplomatic
corps and became quite a social ia
vorite. For a time he was White
House ceremonial officer, replacing the
dapper James Clement Dunn. Mr..
Robbins was appointed to this post
by President Hoover.
Well known in Washington because
of his many periods of intermittent

LABOR EXEMPTED
IN M'SWA|N VOTE
ManpoWer Draft Clause
Vote 207 to 11-BiII
Poll Late Today.

BY Lle ASSOClhtcU FIeSS.
Approaching a final vote on the
McSwain anti-war profits bill, the
House today confirmed its action to
exempt labor from a section to draft
manpower and industrial, financial
and material resources to conduct war.
The vote was POT to IL.
Parliamentary technicalities pre-
vented vote on whether to send the
bill to the Senate until late afternoon.
At one point in the proceedings,
Representative Burdick, Republican,
Of North Dakota introduced a bill to
make manufacture of war implements
an exclusive Government business
after July /, 1886.
Without even murmur of dissent,
the House pushed into the bill the
amendment to take all excessive war
profits. It was passed after House
leaders had bowed to demands for
drastic taxation and after Representa-
tive McSwain himself had offered the
amendment.
He said it would provide a hook on
which the Senate might hang any
thing it wants in the form of specific
taxes, such as those suggested in the
bill backed by the Senate Munitions
Committee.
AS the amended bill stood today,
and as it seemed likely to go to the
Senate, it provided:
For the drafting in war time of
all men between 81 and As, the mo-
