What do you think?

Intelligence Test By Christopher Billopp 1, A SIMPLE intelligence test for a child between the ages of one and two years may be con- ducted by a parent for the benefit of friends i and relatives. i 4 In this test the child is placed in a pen with a collection ef toys. The parent selects a toy at random, pDinfs to the toy and says to the ii I-S -i4 child "give me a ball. In spite of the warning, "No, no.

The parent will now try the other toys one by one. Asking for the doll it will receive the EIGHT YOUTHS WHO FLED FROM BOONYILLE CAUGHT IN COUNTY ball. Asking for the ball it will receive a block.

It is un, to the friends and relatives to rise to the defense of the child, pointing out that, after all, the test is far too silly for such an intelligent child. Thus an embarrassing situation is gracefully smoothed over.

Try and Stop Me By Bennett Cerf HERBERT BAYARD SVVOPE, famous editor of the late lamented New York World, dines at hours that seem very peculiar to his more rational friends. He recently phoned George S. Kaufman at 9:30 p.m. and inquired.

"What are you doing for dinner this evening?" George told him, "I'm digesting it." Kaufman once offered to escort Leonore Cor-bett, the star of his show, "'Park Avenue," to an after-theater party. "I'm sorry," said Miss Cor-bett, "but I met a wonderful man last night, and I've already told him I'd go with him." "Wh.at does this new paragon do?" asked Kaufman. "He does something with cotton." explained Miss Corbett. Kaufman walked out of the dressing-room, humming, "And them that plants it is soon forgotten." 1 W.J- it I Hi I A 1 rut Ww-mV ,5 6, if-" a'St' .3 i 2 4., 1 HONORED BY HOSPITAL GROUP Dr. Frank R.
