it. The first distance divided by
the second distance yielded the ra-
ito that was used as standard of
measurement.
Ratio Worked Out.
Such a ratio was a good measure
ment because at the outset the
sighted subjects, fearful lest they
run into the wall, would sometimes
stop 20 feet from the object and
then move up foot or two. This
would give an exceedingly low ratio
when compared with the results of
those who stopped first nine feet,
and then walked up to within three
inches of the wall.
When the subjects were asked
how they were able to perceive the
wall some said they were able to
detect it only when there were
sounds of some sort present. Others
asserted that they "felt' the wall.
The possibility of pressure sensa-
tons reaching the face were elimi-
mated by veil of heavy felt. The
veil was constructed to cover the
entire face without coming into con-
tact with it. The subjects as
group, however, were able to detect
the wall almost as accurately as
before.

MRS. GROUSE AND JUMPER
HOLD THEIR BREATH

Hold your breath and hold it hard.
AS Mrs. Grouse and Jumper did,
And learn how close the hunter came
To where a-shake with fear they hid.
1T WAS very trying. My, my, my,
L I should say So! 1t was very try
ing indeed. Peeping out from I'M
der a thick low growing branch of
a hemlock tree Mrs. Grouse and
Jumper the Hare watched a man
with a terrible gun coming nearer
and nearer. Now if it had been Red
dy Fox or Old Man Coyote coming
Mrs. Grouse would have felt sure
that she could trust to her strong
wings to take her out of danger and
Jumper the Hare that he could de-
pend upon his long legs in case
they were discovered. But man
with a terrible gun was a very diff
ferent matter. Shot from that terri
BILE gun could 60 so much faster
than Mrs. Grouse could fly or Jump
er could run that they would have
very little chance of getting away
unhurt, and they knew it.
Jumper had whispered to Mrs.
Grouse to sit perfectly still, and this
was the very best thing they could
do. The hunter didn't know that
they were there and if he didn't
happen to look under that henlock
branch he might go right past with
out ever knowing that they were
anywhere near. So in sitting per-
fectly still they were doing the very
wisest and best thing.
But it was hard work, the very
hardest kind of hard work. With ev-
cry approaching step of the hunter it
became harder. Mrs. Grouse set
herself to spring into the air if they
should be discovered, shut her
mouth tightly and held her breath.
Jumper the Hare set his long hind
legs under him ready for sudden
jump, laid his long ears back and
held his breath.
Nearer and nearer came the hunt
er, his terrible gun across the hol-
low of one arm. He looked this
way and that way and the other
way. He was looking for Mrs.
Grouse and she knew it. 1t seemed
to her as if he must hear the thump-
ing of her heart. Her bright eyes
grew dark with fear as she watched
him. 1t seemed to her she must,
simply MUST fly. She couldn't un-
derstand how it was possible for
that great man to look so happy. for

had found her and fed her and been
good to her, she had kindly feel
ing for him, and somehow, no mat
ter what others said, she had a feel
ing way down in her heart that new
er again would he hunt her with his
terrible gun as he once had done.
The hunter was so close now that
he actually brushed the tip of the
hemlock branch under which they
were hiding. Would he look under?
Mrs. Grouse held her breath and
Jumper held his breath and both felt
as if they must scream. He was
half turning now. Would he look
under? If he did, would he be able
to kill both of them? Why didn't he
go on? But he didn't. He stood still
right in front of their hiding place
with his back to them and rested
the butt of his terrible gun on the
ground.
IT certainly ought to find that
grouse. somewhere around here"
said the man, talking aloud to him
self.

New Liquid Coal Adds to
Ships Cruising Range

STATE COLLEGE, PA.-A new
method of making liquid coal, by
which coal is dissolved more COM
pletely than ever before, was re-
ported at Pennsylvania State col
lege. The new fluid, when 40 per
cent of it is mixed with oil, makes
hotter fire than either coal or oil
alone.
The process was discovered by
DR.. Walter M. Fuchs, professor of
fuel technology. A United States
patent has been assigned by him to
the Pennsylvania research corpora
ton, an affiliate of the college.
The liquid coal-oil fuel promises
to increase the cruising range of
ships. Although heat from coal
generally is cheaper than from oil,
it is possible to carry more of the
liquid fuel on shipboard because it
permits better use of bunker space.
The coal-oil mixture can be stored
under water seal, thus reducing
fire risks, and in event of ire, ex-
tinguishing by water is possible.
To make the liquid, bituminous
coal is treated with acids. These
extract what chemists sometimes
call the coal substance, which is a
complex mixture of hundreds of
chemicals. The extraction gets rid
of mineral matter and ash. In final
form the coal substance is dissolved
in furfural, an inexpensive chemical
available from agricultural wastes
such as oat hulls, and bran.

BY GEORGE o'HALLoRAN

CLARA bought new pair of shoes
- yesterday and I thought she got
cheated. They didn't have any toes
in them but it seems to be anything
for style. She wore them last night
when she went to dinner dance
with Sputter-puss. 1t looked kind of
funny to be all dressed up and have
your toes sticking out of your shoes.
But the funniest thing was she had
her toenails painted red to match
her fngernails. They looked like a
couple of cranberries peeking out of
venetian blind. They must, have
had a pretty good time at the dance.
I heard her telling Charlene this
morning that she didn't miss a
dance. The only trouble was her
feet pretty near killed her. She
thinks that everybody in the ball
room must have stepped on her toes
at least once.

Unusual Ability to Avoid
Obstacles Is Subject of
Experimentation.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.-Dr. Karl
M. Dallenbach, psychology profess
sor at Cornell university, believes
the so-called "sixth sense" that en-
ables the blind to avoid obstacles
in their paths is in reality the sense
of hearing.
In an interview, aided by Michael
Supa, a blind graduate student in
psychology who serves as his as
sistant, DR.. Dallenbach said that in
experiments conducted by them at
Cornell it was found blind person
becomes aware of an object before
he touches it.
CATER an investigation involving
more than 1,700 experiments" Dali
lenbach said, 1--WE have come to the
conclusion that what has been
called the sixth sense 'telesthesia,'
the warning sense the obstacle
sense'-to mention but a few of the
catch phrases-is in reality the
sense of hearing.
Sight VS.. Blindness.
On one occasion the Cornell psy-
biologist experimental with four
peop1e-two totally blind and two
possessing normal vision but serv-
ing blindfolded. Previous to the
experiment, the blind subjects as
serted that they were able to dis
tinguish the presence of obstacles.
In fact, both of them maintained
they used this ability every day as
a matter of necessity. The sighted
subjects, on the other hand, doubt
ed at the outset that they would be
able to note the presence of OBJ
stacles in their paths.
Gin that experiment, Supa said,
1--WE had to devise a measurement
whereby we could determine the
accuracy with which the subject
perceived objects and whereby we
could compare the performances
from trial to trial, and from indi-
vidual to Individual. To establish
such a measurement we had the
subject walk toward a movable
wall, the position of which was
varied from trial to trial"
Each subject was instructed to
walk toward the wall until he first
perceived it's presence, the assist
ant said. The distance between the
place where the subject stopped and
the wall was noted, and the subject
was then told to move forward until
he was as close to the wall as pos
sible without coming in contact with

Another's Pattern

One of the most unfortunate
phases of specialization in modern
industry is the one of the initiative
faculty. There are millions Of
people in this country who never
really think, never act on their
own responsibility. They do not
have to. They are simply cogs
in vast machines. They follow the
pattern marked out for them.
They never try to make one.
