GN.SO.-Cows are smarter than

eight-hour day.

B. Johnstone-Wallace, of Cornell
University. See how she spends

horses in intelligence tests" as
devised by DR.. L. Pearl Gardner,
also of Cornell and also reporting

Cows outsmart horses in locat-
ing the right feed box when they
must choose among three, in re-
peated tests, DR.. Gardner said.
And as for memory, cows lean
closer to the elephant than horses.
They don't forget as readily, after
a long time, in which box to look
for the feed.

'from home and from his little
"Stunt-artiSt."
Men HATE surprises! It is
women who love Christmas and
changing fashions and novelty.
It is women who love to go places
and move the furniture around.
A man is a creature of HABIT;
and any change in the familiar
routine of his life is abhorrent
Even seeing his wife in a new
hat or a new outfit, so far from
thrilling or dazzling him, merely
diSturbS and worries him. And a
wife who offers him a continuous
vaudeville show with a change
of bill every day, is like a bad
case of arthritis: always giving
him a twinge of pain in a new
place.
The truth is, the average man
has had enough surprises and eX-
element and variety during his
bachelor days to last him the rest
of his life. And when he mar
rieS, it is in order to come down
to solid ground and LIGHT!
Reno is filled with ex-wives who
overworked themselves doing bar

There ought to be a few safety
warnings for June brides, just as
there are for careless motorists.
For this is the time of year when
they both start making wrong
turns and passing the lights.
The average bride makes her
first Big Mistake when she decides
that her Ducky Wucky'S kisses are
becoming a little too casual, and
determines to treat him to a few
jolts and stage a few surprises to
wake him up before his love goes
into the usual matrimonial coma.
That is woman'S greatest weak
ness - her passion for doing
stunts" when she fancies that a
man is beginning to take her for
granted. Her delusion that by
making his life just one big sur
prise after another she will always
keep the center Of the stage in his
affections.
This may be true while the love-
chase is on. Because love is a
sporting proposition; and uncer-
tainty adds Zest to ANY sport. But
marriage is not a sport; it's a
steady job and a peace-pact.
And the man who never knows
whether he is going to be met
with a sunny smile and warm
kisses or a cold shoulder and a
tempest of wrath when he goes
home after a hard days work soon

CurioUSly, mankind seems al,
ways obsessed with either the sub
human or the superhuman. A
story about a dog or a ghost al
ways will beat out almost any
other story in Selling and holding
random reader interest.
One of my friends, who scouts
odd little facets of human beha-
vior for tniS department, tells me
about the revealing dialogue of
six ferry commuters the morning
after Herbert Hoover made his
Cleveland speech.
In two groups of three on a
cross seat, the commuters faced
each other. One opened up with
eloquent approval of the speech.
Another IVES less enthusiastic. A
rough-and-tumble political argu-
ment started.
One chap, a big, ruddy, pros
porous looking man, broke into a
momentary lull with the remark
that he wanted to stay up to get
the convention on the radio, but
that he had to get up at five
o'clock to study some queer chip
munk dolngs under his cherry
trees and so had gone to bed at
10 o'clock, missing Mr.. Hoover.
81 don't know what the little
beggaTs are up to. They"
He was interrupted.
''NOw, tell you this man,
Hoover"
The chipmunk man found an
ally who was eager to get in a
yarn about some squirrels stealing
some walrIts and starting a bowl
ing alley in his attic.
'T'lI tell you what those little
suckers did"
1t was the Hoover champion
who had forgotten all about poll.
tics. Before the boat was half
way across, the chipmunk conven'
ton had won a clean-cut victory
over the Cleveland convention.
There was eager talk and tall
tales about chipmunkS, squirrels,
Skunks, badgers, AiredaleS, Scot
ties, retrievers, and a bullfrog
with pipe organ voice.
GOOD TAKE"
These men were part Of the
highly gregariouS big city herd
and yet just mention of the sub
human had diverted them from
all interests in a biped world
even at this high pitch of politi-
cal excitement. So much for the
Subhuman.
PreOccupation with the super.

We don't need to go to Europe

be a great statesman, but as
Senator 'he amt worth a
DAMN"
Senator M. M. Nicely, West Vir-
gilman Democrat, on the quality
of men serving in the Senate:
"FOr IL hours the great con-
stitutiOnal lawyers and incur
able chronic senatorial DIRECTORS
have wasted precious time, heed
leSsly fiddling while the country
is threatened by a cOnflagratiOn
greater than Rome or Nero ever

LET us put these cOnStitu-

barnacles, these warts on the
body polite, on record and aScer-
tain whether there is enough
progressive sentiment in this
chamber to say to the world that
the Senate has enough sense,
enough energy and enough cOur-
age to legislate for the American
people"
Senator Arthur Vandenberg
Michigan Republican, in reply:
when the distinguished SEN
for Senator from West Virginia
addressed the Senate upon this
subject last night-Or, perhaps
it was early this mOrning-he
undertook to indicate that he
has a complete monopoly of vir-
tue, the humanitieS, common
sense and decency on his side of
the argument; in fact in cOnnec-
ton with his contribution to the
filibuster against his own bill
he suggested that those who dis
agree with him upon this subject
are warts on the ship of human
progress"
THAT is a rather curious fig
ure of speech and scarcely pur-
sues the chaSte and elegant lam
guage which the Senate Ordi-
narily hears from the eloquent
Senator from West Virginia. I
find that in the Record, how
ever, we are simply warts on
