Great Grandmother, 100,
Decides to Settle Down

Sonora Plasidas Martinez Amaril-
las, aged 100, has decided to settle
down In Mountain View, Calf, and
begin the enjoyment of life.
Sne chose that particular city aft
er Life Of wandering because her
youngest son lives here and there
are enough children and grandchil-
dren to keep her busy for a long
time.
Sonora Amarillas was born in the
state OF Sonora, Mexico, in 1890. She
was one of many children, but as
her father had plenty of land there
was ample space for all to play
without cluttering things up too
much.
In 1865, when she was IS. she
came to the United States with her
husband and settled at Phoenix,
Ariz.
Sixty years later, when the sonora
was IS, she heard Of Los Angeles
and came west to live with q son.
There she enjoyed everything Los
angeles had to offer--from the NOV
ing picture studios to the Santa AMI
ia race track. She admitted at the
time she liked to be around where
things were happening.
In 1885, however, at the more ma
ture age of 104, she felt the urge of
wanderlust, as well as a desire to
see another one of her sons, so she
took a bus and came to Mountain
View, a mere jaunt of 420 miles.
When she discovered so many chill
dren - grandchildren and great
grandchildren-at Mountain View,
she knew she had found her place
and at once took over life she had at
50 and became "boss" of the house.

Intelligence Gains
after 40, Tests Say
Euen Those Over 20 ShOtO
Higher Mentality.

SACRAMENTO, CALICO men
tai powers begin to wane after hui
mans reach the age of 40 years?
On the contrary, intelligence in
creases, believe University of Cali
fornia experts, following intelligence
tests conducted through the medium
of radio by the university Eek
plorer."
Taking the tests were 1881 men
and women with ages ranging from
10 to 80 years old. And the average
score for those over so years old
was found to be one point higher
than the group average.
Even those over 20 years old
showed a little higher average than
for the combined group-one-haf
point higher. Two persons over IS
years Of age who took the tests re-
ceived grades only one or two points
below the group average.
"The results are particularly en-
couraging to those who are nearing
the twilight of their lives" held DR..
Frank N. Freeman Of the university
staff who conducted the tests.
In the younger groups individuals
10 to 19 years old made about eight
points lower than the group average.
while the 1919 group by itself made
just about the whole group aver
age.
DR.. Freeman said the tests could
not be held to invalidate earlier find
ings of a distinct drop-off of intelii-
gence in oldsters of large groups,
but the tests do indicate there are
considerable numbers of older per-
sons whose mental abilities are as
keen as those of younger individuals.

Heavier Legal Penalties
Put Teeth in Food Law

A heavier schedule of maximum
penalties, to put teeth in the law,
is one of the ways the new food,
drug, and cosmetic act differs from
the old law.
For certain offenses, fines up to
S2OO-with no provision for jail SEN
tence-were the limit under the old
law on a first offense. On subse-
quent convictions the old law per-
mitted fines only up to $500 with or
without jail sentence of not more
than one year. For the same of
lenses, the new law provides for
maximum fines of 81, 0OO-with or
without a maximum of one year
lmprisonment-upon the first of
tense. In the case of second Of
lenses the maximum fine is stepped
up to $4,000, with or without inn
prisonment up to three years.
Even while the legislation was
pending, the Food and Drug admin
istration observed that many federal
judges were making penalties more
severe within the old limitations and
were less likely to let violators off
with nominal fines. In some courts
heavy penalties have become the
rule, followed often by suspension of
sentence during good behavior.

Monarch of Aborigines
Dies as He Predicted

SYDNEY.-King Jaringoorli, the
aged monarch of the Australian VOL
min Yowaroo tribesmen, predicted
his own death to within a few mo-
mentS.
When a native woman brought
him cup of tea in the native hos
pital at Broome, western Australia,
he told her that it would be the last
he would ever receive from her. He
drank the tea, settled himself calm
ly in bed and died.
Jaringoorli,was fine type Of ma
tive. Although he was about 80 years
old, he stood tall and erect and he
retained his faculties to the end.
His tribe were the original inhabi-
tants of the northeastern part Of
Roebuck bay, on which the township
of Broome now stands.
The old king was tremendously
proud of two scars caused when he
was seized by shark when he was
diving for shell in his youth. After
the attack he was dragged to the
surface and his wounds sewn with
ordinary needle and thread.

tricycle. Landing Gear?

Airplanes with tricycle. landing
gear-a familiar sight in the early
days of f1ight-are coming back into
favor and are likely to replace to-
days conventional gear on large
air-liners, according to a survey just
made by Lockheed Aircraft corpora
ton. More than 1000 pilots, opera
tons managers and air line off,
cials took part in the survey, which
will be used by engineers Of the
Lockheed company in designing fu-
ture models. Although only @ per
cent Of those returning question
naires had ever operated planes
equipped with tricycle. landing gear,
80 per cent of answers expressed
preference for the "velocipede UNI
iercarriage" which was in COM
mon use up to 1912. The vote Of the
aviation men was so per cent in
favor Of having a nose wheel which
was steerable by rubber pedals in
the pilots cockpit rather than free
swiveling.

Shoe Polishing Simpli6ed
By Newly Patented Cadget

An invention that may take its
place along with the can opener, the
button hook, the upper and many
other little devices that have made
mans life easier has been patented
by Drew Morris, a university STU
dent.
The gadget solves the problem
which most people encounter when
they try to polish white shoes
keeping the liquid from getting on
the hands and keeping the white pol
ish off the brown or black edge of
the sole and heel.
The device is simple, one of those
things which seem obvious. There
are two parts, one sponge and one
metal. The metal serves as a ham
die for the sponge, thus eliminating
one problem, and there is strip of
metal on the bottom side of the
sponge to prevent the polish from
getting on the sole or heel. The
cellulose sponge has sharp corners,
so that it can be easily manipulated
along black-white boundary lines.
Morris got his idea about four
years ago when he was junior in
high school. His grandfather was
an inventor, specializing in such
things as f1ysprayers. garbage cans
and other sheet metal wares.

Il have yet to see any issue or
conflict that does not have at least
two Sides" he points out.
He defines propaganda as meth
Cd OF mental persuasion carried on
by the spoken or printed word, and
says, I'm the long run propaganda
has been found to be the most sue
cessful way to control public opin-
ion. 1t is more successful than Co
ercion or bargaining and has a
greater lasting effect.
Propaganda can be used construc-
lively to build nations and commu-
mites; it can also be used destruc-
lively to promote war and hatred,
to smash windows and crack
skulls"
AS to what can be done about 1t,
Professor Cottrell suggests the fol-
lowing:
Propaganda is effective because
people respond to it. We should
ask ourselves what the propagan-
dists' point is, and what they are
trying to promote.
I'VE need more courses in schools
to teach students how TO analvze
propaganda.
I'VE should try to see and under
stand both sides of a question or
issue.
Above all, see that everyone gets
his chance to express his views"
