WATCH HIM DODGE Fire a direct question at a Democratic candidate for congress and see him dodge.

Keith is quite a linguist, speaking English, German, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. He was in Federman's store purchasing a pair of shoes recently when Charley Federman observed that he had heard that Mr. Keith could talk Hebrew, when Mr. Keith surprised him by asking in Hebrew, "How much are these shoes?" After informing Mr. Keith what the price was, Charley continued, "Ten per cent off for talking Hebrew!" Charley is a great boy.

The village "good fellow" in youth is found selling lead pencils on the street corners in old age. BOY SCOUT NEWS The Boy Scouts of America are again co-operating with the French Boy Scouts in furnishing supervision for them at their summer camp this year, according to a report which came from national headquarters this week. Loren W. Barclay, national director of education for the Boy Scouts of America, has been in charge of the Boy Scout camps in France for two years and this year will again assume charge of these camps. The French scout camps are made possible by troops throughout the country adopting a French scout and sending him to camp. These boys have, for the past two years camped in the devastated area of France and have done such wonderful work that the French government has awarded to Mr. Barclay the highest awards which it can give. One of the remarkable features of Mr. Barclay's supervision is that when he went to France for the first time he could not speak French at all but because of the scout ideals he seemed to be able to impart the spirit of scouting to those boys very readily. The Orange county troops, now numbering some thirty-three, have been appealed to to adopt one of these French boys and sent twenty-five dollars to the national council to pay his way to camp this summer. This fee not only includes all of his camp expenses, but gives him a uniform and full camp equipment. Scouts of the entire county are getting into the contest to remove from the highways all articles that will puncture a tire. Several thousand articles have already been gathered and it is expected by the end of the campaign, September 1 that there will be several hundred thousand articles gathered. The boys have started out with determination to beat the record of Pasadena, where over seven hundred thousand articles were gathered in two months. The Automobile Club of Southern California, through tably becomes aware of his classification. If he be found "slow," a millstone is strung around his neck. The mental effect upon the child is depressing; certainly it cannot be stimulating. An intelligence test, given by an expert—if not given by an expert it is worse than useless, for it then becomes dangerous—has its value in helping a teacher place a child's capabilities in her own mind. The mistake comes in giving the result of the test a larger place in the teacher's consideration than it deserves. Whatever psychologists may say of the efficiency of the system, there are plenty of educators who are insisting that it be applied with extreme caution. The fact that a commission of experts that recently conducted an investigation into the mental capabilities of the inmates of the Iona reformatory, Michigan, applied the army psychology tests, and placidly announced that the percentage of inmates of average mentality is greater than that of the drafted men who served in the American army during the world war, has tended to increase the call for caution. Grant that there is much of good in psychology—and, of course, there is—we insist that it should not be applied in a manner that allows the knowledge of grading to leak out to the children. Such a fault becomes all the more serious when the result of the test becomes the supreme measure of a child's future capabilities. INCREASED AUTO SALES Automobile sales in California for the month of May, according to figures presente d in the June issue of Motor Registration News, shattered every former single month's record by a margin so great that there is no room for disputing the present unparalleled prosperity era which reigns in the motor car industry of this state. INGREASED AUTO SALES Automobile sales in California for the month of May, according to figures presente d in the June issue of Motor Registration News, shattered every former single month's record by a margin so great that there is no room for disputing the present unparalleled prosperity era which reigns in the motor car industry of this state. Passenger car sales totaled 14,088 for the month. This figure exceeded April of 1922, which had been the largest, by a margin of 1837 automobiles. The April figure aggregated 12,251 sales and it was not thought by even the automotive trade that the month just closed could surpass the high April mark. The article says that March and April have usually been the peak months of the selling season and they are followed annually, save in the present year, by a gradual monthly decline until the fall trade starts. The reports kept by the publication, a statistical journal specializing in automotive records, show a decided variance in 1922: California buying habits in that May, instead of dropping off in registrations, has jumped ahead of new high totals. Still another striking fact brought out by the issue is that May, 1922, sales were greater by 4719 cars than were May, 1921. California totals the month just ended has 14,088 new automobiles as against 9369 for May of 1921. The northern counties are credited by the News with 6819 cars for May, 1922, as against 4481 during the same month of last year. The increase of 2338 cars amounts to 52 per cent. In southern California eleven counties registered 7260 cars this May as against a business which amounted to 4888 motor cars in a like period of 1921. The gain, 2381, is approximately 49 per cent.

VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTS Those who have been watching the trend of opinion concerning the use of applied psychology in the public schools throughout the country believe that educators are arriving rapidly at a saner view of the value of intelligence tests. The theory is running the usual course of such things. Seized upon as a discovery, great numbers of men and women came to look upon the psychological measure of children as a wonderful new thing. By some it was hailed if not as a cure-all at least as a measure-all. The trouble with most of the intelligence tests has been that they are mere measures of mental agility. Instead of being a safe and sane guide for a child's ability these tests too often have developed into nothing more than a method of sizing up a child's cunning; call it if you will his trait of quick understanding. In these tests the slow thinker is not accorded the place he deserves for the fast thinker arrives at wrong conclusions just as often as or oftener than the slow thinker. The errors of snap judgment are legion and the man who looks before he leaps should be counted the salt of the earth. Effort in Santa Ana schools to grade a child's intelligence have been subjected to a good deal of adverse criticism and we believe justly so. The crux of the complaints is that in measuring a child the child himself inevi- Chamber of Commerce Sends a Message From Fallbrook —Situated in the Midst of the Southland's Newest and Largest Water Development Projects—New Santa Fe Railroad East is Near-Future Prospect.
