Talking About Coins, Here Is
 Official Dope

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5. = A nickel or a dime-or any piece of change-appears larger in actual physical size to a poor person than it does to a rich one, the American Psychological Association was told today
 And to both the rich and the poor, Harvard psychologist de- clared in a prepared address, all coins appear larger than they ac- tually are-with the apparent size increasing in proportion to the value of the coin.
 Qt you think this theory is wrong, try making pictures of coins, either from direct observation or from memory, and see how you come out. It makes a good parlor- or bar-trick)
 Dr. Jerome s. Bruner of Har- yard told the psychologists he had experimental evidence to back up a theory that the greater the so- cial value of an object, the more will it undergo perceptual distor- tion away from it's actual size; and the stronger the individual need for such valued objects, the greater will be the distorting effect of value. v

 The Juneau police and Steamship Agent Horace Adams received letters from the company. These letters were thank you notes.
 Linda had been encased in some probably sheet metal-and expressed homeward.
 Recently we had the momen- tous word. Linda was home.
 The Houdini of the dog world had been bested. In way it made us rather sad, We had rather ex- pected to hear about derailed express train found gutted some where in a ditch between Seattle and Tulsa.
 Linda's loving family wrote us a letter of gratitude. You helped so much" the letter said. Linda is now home. She is in splendid form, except hungry. She had never seen a chicken before and now that we have several, she is busy chasing them. We will have to train her

"LINDA" SAFE IN OKLAHOMA; CHICKENS NOT!

Wearily we take up typewriter again and continue the sad, shame ful, sweet saga of Linda" who was a lady but with definite tendency toward claustophobia, termite hia and a general desire to ruin the life of reporter.
 We reported Linda last month twice. We told all about her being lost in Juneau when the Aleutian docked here, how the tiny black rocker spaniel had chewed out of her crate. how she was captured, in- termed in the city pound and later in crate on the dock, how two little boys sat home weepingly awaiting her return while author ities in Juneau and Seattle scuttled around looking for Linda-proof crates, and finally how Linda had been sent off to Seattle on the S.S. Baranof by perspiring steamship officials and Juneau police in a strong, strong "container.' ~
 We thought we had done with Linda.
 But Linda naG not uone with us.
 The last we had seen of Linda she had just finished masticating a hole five inches in diameter in the face of a plywood wall in her crate on the Juneau dock Look, Bud, we saw itD. That was small peanuts = we mean plyWood.
 Loaded very carefully aboard the Baranof by the police and the local Alaska Steamship officials, she and her triple-strong crate were Warily watched during the Baranof stops in Southeast Alaska ports, and Lin da's activities were kept under care ful surveillance.
 She arrived in Seattle and so did

her crate - but Linda had been doing vast comes naturally to Linda, chewing, and the crate was no longer in one piece. Linda was loose again.
 Rehoused in specially con- structed crate (Superman couldn't get out) Linda spent few bored hours as the guest of the Seattle Steamship office awaiting shipment to her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As soon as her watchman relaxed (you gotta eat sometimes) termite- teeth Linda nibbled down couple of bars and scampered out--With perspiring and embarrassed officials in her wake. It was getting to be the most dog-gone story on rec ord.
 Meanwhile letters were pouring into the Juneau Empire and local office of the Alaska teamship Com pany.
 Almost simultaneous with a letter from Lindas family, MT. and Mrs. J. T. Whisenhunt and two little grief-stricken toys begging the En- pire's assistance in finding dear, timid little Linda, came a letter pr certificate of merit" from the Alaska Steamship Company in Seattle.
 The letter thanked the Empire for it's aid in the Juneau recovery of this animal" told the full story of her chew down the inside passage, and stated that Linda had been ex- pressed homeward "and frankly we are keeping our fingers crossed. We strongly fear that no crate has been devised that could keep this small animal penned up for any length of time
 It seemed that Linda had not only chewed up her Baranof crate, but had "devoured" (words of the Steamship company the contents of a couple of mailsacks which she had chewed into as a final in suit. The contents, all belonging to the steamship officials, were be- ing hurriedly replaced The letter referred to Linda politely, but there was a broad underlying current of bitterness. We hope to hear that she is in Tulsa soon," the letter
