Phychological examinations of
national army men have two pur
poses, one jnilitary and one medical,
it was explained by W. V. Bingham
of the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology, Pittsburg, one of the seven
psychologists who worked out the
method now being applied at four of
the cantonments. The military pur
pose he said, is to furnish com
manding officers with a rating for
each man in his command by which
he may be guided in selecting men
for promotion or for special duties
requiring more than average intelligence.

by bringing the proper pressure to
bear.

A Poor Argument.
An amendment to the draft law
to make men between the ages of
18 and 40 subject to conscription
will be introduced by Congressman
Kahn, of California, when the Con
gress meets in December.
"What we have done is only a
drop in the bucket," said Kahn in
explaining the need for changing the
draft 'ages. "Men, money and food
must be furnished by America be
yond any realization of the people at
present."
Poor old Kahn, he is talking
through his hat. He admits that
more food must be produced; yet he
would take from the field the man
who must produce it Editor Pub

The Human Side of Wilson
(Wm. H. Crawford, in Leslie's)
Mr. Wilson despite his seeming
seriousness has a strictly human
side. He touches elbows with his
fellow man, he has a keen apprecia
tion of humor and the happy faculty
of being able to laugh at and enjoy
sharp thrusts aimed at him. In
addition he can send as good as he
receives. All of his epigrams have
pith and some of them are gems.
Here are a few collected from his
various speeches:
"A boss is a gum-shoe political
manager.
"The way to stop financial joy
riding is to arrest the chauffeur on
the automobile..
"Loyalty is not a self-pissing vir
tue. "There is only one way that par
ties and individuals win confidence,
to do the thing that ought to be
done.
"They called me a schoolmaster
when I was running for office. I de
fined the word it meant a man
trained to find out things, and to tell
them as plainly as possible. I am
finding them out, and telling you. I
propose to go on telling them as
long as I live.
"The man who cannot change his
mind gives evidence of profound ig
.norance. "A friend of mine says that every
man who takes office in Washing
ton, either grows or swells, and
when I appoint a man to office, I
watch him carefully to see whether
he is swelling or growing. The mis
chief of it is that when they swell
they do not swell enough to burst."
Mr. Wilson bears himself simply,
he personelly has not swollen, but
has grown.
BOY KILLED PROVES
TO BE YOUNG WOMAN
Accident in Newport News During
the Liberty Bond Parade.
(Newport News Times-Herald)
Florence Kelly, a white woman,
about 20 years old, was run over
and killed by an army motor truck
on which she was riding, during the
Liberty Loan parade here last week.
She came here about three weeks
ago from Greenville, Tenn., and
took a job as water boy at tCamp
Stewart. She has been living and
working among the men there 'but
no one suspected that she was not
a man. When taken to the hospital
she was taken to the men's ward
and an examination of her wounds
revealed the fact that she was a
woman.
Here's What "Can" Means

Kaiser," has recently come into pop

watchword of the American troops.
"Can" is used in the sense of her
mentically sealing the Kaiser to pre
vent his further activities.
