As Was Planned

Mark Twain's old home in the
Connecticut hills-destroyed by
fire some years ago-was built
from the joint designs Of his
daughter Clara Clemens, and
John Howells, son OF William
Dean Howells, novelist and critic.
"They did it," once explained
Mark to a friend, without any
advice or instructions from me.
I had every confidence in their
taste and judgment and none in
my own. / merely said / wanted
three things-a room of my own
that would be quiet, a billiard
room large enough to play in
without jamming the cues into
the wall, and living room forty

He did also stipulate that the
house should cost only a certain
sum.
"And did it?" inquired the
friend.

Hypnotism Long in Use

Psychologists in universities, while
investigating the mechanism of the
human mind, often employ hypno-

cases-sueh as drug addiction or al
coholism.

Modest Grain

A farmer went with his son in
to the wheat-feld to see if it was
ready for the harvest.
"See, father" said the boy,
chow straight these stems hold
up their heads. They must be
the best ones. Those that hang
down their heads as if they we're

Fairfax Show
To Be Held

Huntmier Farms, Fairfax Coun-
ty, Virginia, we'll known as a mecca
for horse lovers, will be the scene
of a gay festivity August 20, when
the Fifth Annual Colvin Run Citi-
zens Association Horseshow will
be held.
This will undoubtedly be one Of
the most interesting shows in the
history of Fairfax county. Troupe
"F" of the Third United States
Calvary will be present to give an
exhibition show of their famous
wild West ride" These men are
well-known for their daring and
skilled technique. This is one Of
the best wild West performances
to be seen in the United States
and the Army never permits the
use of this troupe for commercial
occasions. However, they have
generously allowed their troup to
perform as a contribution to the
Colvin Run Citizens Association,
sponsors of the show.
There also will be an exhibition
of six wild pony colts who have
been in captivity less than two
weeks.
