PSYCHOLOGY TEST
FOR SOLDIERS
Tests in psychology for all men in
he army are proposed by officers
, p or t Dix, where such tests are
L being applied to determine the
itness of soldiers in special situa
jjons And just when it seemed that
■nlisting m the army might be the
inly way to escape those things!
One of the questions is: “You
ire driving an auto at night. While
driving you meet another auto which
rill not dim its lights, regardless of
,our signals. What would you do?”
fhe question becomes particularly
jnportant if the gent in the other
;ar happens to be a general.
Another reads: “You are walking
,: o ng a muddy road carrying a stone
n one hand when an auto passes
and splashes mud over you. Would
f ou throw the stone? Answer yes
, r no.” There’s only one answer
[or a soldier to that one: “No. But
ion’t depend on it.”
* ♦
Professor Elmer Twitched, this
department’s eminent psychologist,
oas prepared the following tests for
rolunteers and draft prospects:
1 —You are driving a limousine to
[he front. There are four young
ladies with you. On the way you
tncounter two majors going to the
front on foot. They both give you
the thumb in the orthodox hitch
aiker manner. You explain that, as
jrou have four girls with you, there
is no sense taking them aboard un
less they can dig up another major.
3o on with the story from there.

2.—You have answered the draft
summons and presented yourself for

found to be a per-
feet specimen, but
the examiner is
I stumbling over a
* ~ chair drops his
papers and gets them mixed up.
He returns to you and says: “Let’s
see; you’re the one with defective
eyesight and deafness in both ears,
aren’t you?” Which of the three
answers would you make;
(a) —Right you are.
(b) —No, sir.
(c) —Yes, and my arches are all
gone, too.

3.—You are assigned to guard
duty at night on a desolate post.

best remark to make under the cir

(a) —How do you suppose this ra- !

(b) Sorry, captain. I forgot

(c) —Let’s both go home so we
can win this dough in case our

ID ECENTLY there has been a
i AV large turmoil over the Ogden
. Miller, of Yale, interview and the
• conflict between the purists and the
, proselyters in football's happy or
unhappy family.
; Nothing new was either uncov
ered or discovered. It was merely
8 the revamping of
an age old argu
ment and conflict.
walking that far we
could take you back
30 years or more
through the same
old argument. And
let you finish where
ence is that in the
Grantland Rice last few years the
line has been much
more sharply drawn—and in the fu
ture it may even reach a razor
edge.
There isn’t any questioning the
fact that too many colleges overdo
their football collecting. There isn’t
any questioning the fact that col
leges with stricter entrance require
j ments and higher scholastic stand
ards are at a disadvantage in meet
ing opponents who have no such
barriers to face.
There are, of course, always ex
ceptions. Cornell and Pennsylvania
are Ivy institutions and yet they
manage to hit the jackpot with reg
ularity.
Badly Tangled
On a general scale there is en
tirely too much proselyting, recruit
ing and paying for good players, in
what should be the greatest of all
amateur games.
But it is a tangled, intricate
scheme when you come to locating
the true answer. I don’t believe
there is one, in a game that has
such a direct appeal to so many
millions.
Many ask, “Why shouldn’t a poor
boy who can play football have his
way paid through college, with some
thing in the side, when he is play
ing before gate receipts that range
from $lOO,OOO to $400,000 per game?
Doesn’t he at least earn an educa
tion?”
The answer is O. K., if the college
feels that way about it, but let those
colleges play among themselves.
They have too great an edge on
those who happen to feel otherwise.
It isn’t fair competition.
How Can You Stop It?
I know of more than one strong
college outfit where the students get
no help through college. But wealthy
and influential alumni get summer
jobs for the leading players that net
from $2OO to $4OO a month, plus
board, no working experience re
quired.
1 know of others who play before
big-time crowds, where each play
er is given from 5 to 10 tickets per
game which net from $25 to $5O per
contest. The ticket request is made
for the family.
This isn’t much money. Possibly
$3OO a year plus a scholarship and
all other expenses paid. But it still
j isn’t alfalfa.
After talking with a large number
j of football coaches my guess is that
! at least 75 per cent of the better
players belong to the proselyted, or
paid for group, one way or another.
But when an enthusiastic group of
alumni get to work 1 can’t see any 1
way you can stop them. For this
work may not even reach the no- I
tice of the college or the football
coach. The deal may be made with
the boy’s father, who isn’t likely to
talk about it.
Part of the Answer
The main trouble, of course, is the
demand for a winning team. But,
unfortunately, not every team can
win. So the problem is shoved along
to the coach. The coach doesn’t
want to lose his job. The chances
are he also has a family to look
after. If the alumni won’t get him
players, he must do his part—or
get fired.
College football in two months
draws far more spectators than big
league baseball draws in six months
—far more. It has grown into big
time. Big league teams can lose a
flock of games and still draw. Col
lege teams can’t afford to lose many
' in a season, especially where there
! is no traditional rivalry to help lure
out the crowds.
Part of the answer is working its
way out through conference sched
ules. The Ivy league now rarely
leaves its own borders. The Big
Ten wanders more, but not too
much. There are now supervisors
in the Big Ten, the Pacific Coast
and the South, where in certain col
leges too many have come from far
off places to play.
Teams with about the same scho
lastic ranking and the same meth
ods of ethics should play among
themselves.
We’ll take the Southwest. They
help their athletes. But in the main
j they are all Texas players.
“At S. M. U.,” Matty Bell told
me, “we have 35 men on the squad.
Thirty-three are from Texas, The
other two from Oklahoma and Mis
souri, just across the borderline ”

FOR THAT EXTRA SPECIAL LUNCHEON
See Recipes Below.
When your children are in school,
and your husband is at work, you
find little pleasure in eating a soli
tary meal. And when you are rushed
with household duties, you are apt
to grab a quick sandwich, or a
steaming bowl of soup, and then
continue with the tasks that are still
before you.
But, you can take advantage of the
days when the family is away, and
the work all finished, to entertain
your friends at a one-o’clock lunch
eon, a dessert luncheon for the
bridge club, or for just a friendly
get-together. A good menu and an
attractive table will give you the
poise and enthusiasm necessary to
serve your guests easily and gra
ciously.
Oftentimes the most easily pre
pared food may be the most attrac
tively served. A fluted orange cup
makes a colorful container for many
fruits, which may be varied with
the season. The fruit must be cut
into pieces of convenient size, free
from seeds and skin, except for
grapes. It should be thoroughly
chilled and combined so that it is
a neat arrangement. If a few pieces
are crushed or wilted, the whole
concoction will look careless and un
appetizing. Remember, an appetiz
er should not be too sweet, for as
the name implies, the first course
should sharpen the appetite.
For the rest of the menu you
might like to serve mock chicken
legs, baked potatoes, crisp green
salad, crescent rolls, and as an un
usual dessert, chocolate mint roll.

Easy Entertaining.
Everybody loves a party, from
the toddling youngster to the so
phisticated adult. A hostess who
can entertain her guests with
something new in the way of par
ty ideas is indeed popular. You
do not have to wait for a birth
day to warrant a celebration, for
soon there will be many holiday
events to bring a group together.
Miss Howe, in her book, “Easy
Entertaining,” gives you many
new party ideas and suitable
menus with tested recipes. You
may secure your copy of her book 1
by writing to “Easy Entertain

ATTITUDES TOWARD THE
GOSPEL MESSAGE
LESSON TEXT—Luke 8:4-15,
GOLDEN TEXT—Take head therefore how
te hear.—Luke 8:18.
“Ho that hath ears to hear, let
him hear,” cried Jesus as He taught
the parable of the sower. Thus Ho
reveals the heart of the lesson—that
it is the hearing of the Word of
God, and the manner in which it is
heard that determines the destiny of
men.
One may hear and yet not hear at
all. Some who imagine themselves
deaf have perfect hearing, but are
so preoccupied with their own
thoughts that they do not grasp what
they hear. To bo in such a state as
far as spiritual things are concerned
is desperately serious. Jesus cries
to you, “If you have ears, hear the
Word of God.”
A parable is an earthly story re
lating common things of life to il
lustrate and present heavenly truth
regarding the spiritual life. Para
bles are simple, but profound. A
parable docs not need interpreta
tion, but it does need application.
The parable of the sower, or rather
of the four kinds of soil, presents
the hearers of God’s Word as being
like four different fields.
I. The Wayside (vv. 5 and 12),
Through the fields of Palestine ran
well-beaten paths, so hard from
many footsteps that no seed could
find lodgment and grow'. The hearts
of men are like that, with the world
rolling its heavy wheels over the
roads of our thinking. Sin and world
ly pleasure add their bit, and the
din and clatter of unwholesome or
nonsensical radio programs cut their
paths across our lives.
Little wonder that so much of the
Word of God which we do hear is
picked up by the devil’s own birds
and carried away. Let’s break up
the hard ground of our life’s way,
side.
11. The Rocky Ground (vv. 6 and
13).
Here we have the shallow soil on
the rocky ledge, where seeds grow
as if in a hothouse, but wither when
the steady heat of the summer sun
comes upon them.
Shallow hearers are those who re
ceive the word with joy, are car
ried away with emotional enthusi
asm, and seem to be most promis
ing as followers of Christ until the
real temptations and trials of life
come, and then they are gone. They
are like the soldier who enjoys wear
ing the uniform and marching in the
parade past the reviewing stand
with bands playing and flags flying,
but who deserts his post when his
company goes into battle. Surely
none of us wants to be that kind of
a hearer of God’s Word.
111. The Thorny Ground (vv. 7
and 14).
The soil was good, the seed found
its place to live and grow, but no
one kept down the weeds, and they,
as usual, got the best of the good
seed.
Note carefully in verse 14 what
are the destructive thorns and weeds
in the spiritual garden. The very
things people in our day most seek
—riches and pleasure—are the
things which choke spirituality.
Watch them and root them out.
Observe also that the “cares” of
this world are the weeds of the dev
il. How they do press upon us and
hinder our spiritual growth. A man
testified that while he had attended
church for 20 years he had never
heard a sermon because he was
always thinking about his business.
How about you?
IV. The Good Ground (vv. 8 and
15).
The harvest comes from the good
soil, and how it does rejoice the
husbandman as it brings forth even
up to a hundred fold.
The hearers of the Word who are
thus fruitful for God are “honest.”
They listen to really receive help
and do something about what they
hear. They have “good hearts”—a
field plowed, prepared and weeded,
ready to bring forth fruit. When
they hear the Word they “hold it
fast”—they are reverent, thought
ful and obedient to the Word. Then
they have the “patience” to grow
spiritually. It takes patient effort
and devotion to do that, be sure oi
it (read Luke 21:19 in the R. V.).
In conclusion, we ask, “What then
shall we do—sow only in the good
ground?” No, let us ask God to
break up the beaten soil of the way
side with the plowshare of His Word
Let us deepen the shallow soil, fighi
the weeds and thorns by His grace
until they give up. Then let us go
right on sowing the seed “in season i
' and out of season” (read II Tim.
| 4:1-5).
In all such labors your heart will
I sing with joy because here and there
; you will be privileged to minister
I to “an honest and a good heart”
j which will bring “forth fruit a hun-
I dredfold” to the glory of God end
! for the encouragement of His faith
ful seed-sower.
Do Not Guess
But let every man prove his owa
work.—Gal. 6:4.

Henry's Trip to See
Thermometer Was Urgent
Ho slid his tired feet into a pair
of slippers, lit his pipe, sat down
in the easy-chair with a sigh of
relief, and declared 20,000 wild
horses couldn’t make him stir
from the house.
“Henry," said his wife, “you
posted that letter I gave you this
morning?"
“I did, my love," he answered.
“I asked mother to postpone her
visit for a while,” his wife con
tinued. “You see—”
Henry did so. The tired man
jumped from his chair, kicked off
his slippers, put on his boots, and
slipped out into the murky street.
Five minutes later, Henry came
back with the tale that he had
been to see how the thermometer
outside the post office stood. She
smiled.
