In 1800 your grandfather drove a horse and buggy, lived in a house, carried his water from a well and built a fire In a stove. In 1929 his grandchildren are living in a modern hotel where all the conveniences and comforts are provided and looked after by specialists trained for this purpose. The cost of living at the Colonial Hotel does not take all the good of making it your home.

Conn., September 7. j Attempts to measure the effects of re- | ligious beliefs and training on human ' action were described at the ninth in ternational congress of phychology at Yale Uiversity yesterday. Pleasant R. Hightower of Butler Uni versity said that in character study it had been token for granted that Blbical information has a positive effect on conduct. He tested this on 3.316 school children In two Middle Western States. Pupils of delinquent schools were in cluded. The tests Included eight op portunities for cheating, two for'lving. ♦wo for showing loyalty and two for showing altruism and service. “The results,’’ he said, "shew that pupils with high scores and those with low scores on the tests of Blbical in formation reacted similarly In conduct tests, thus indicating that there is no relationship between Blbical informa tion and the different phases of con duct studied. “Even though this position seems en tirely defensible, it does not show in the least that the Bible or knowledge of It Is of no value In character building. It does indicate, however,‘very definite ly. that mere knowledge of Itself is not sufficient to insure proper character attitudes.” Thomas H. Howells of the Universi ty of Colorado, attempted to learn why some persons of religious faith are more orthodox than others, his purpose being “discovering the antecedents and set ting In human nature of religious or thodoxy.” He was able to compare 50 “extreme conservatives In religion and a corre sponding group of radicals.” His report stated that “statistically significant evi dence was obtained which indicated that the members of the orthodox group were: II) less capable In solving different sorts of intellectual problems; <2), more suggestible In five different, situations: (3), less willing to endure distress in a competitive situation; <4), less able to co-ordinate muscular activi ty in a competitive altuation: (5), more able to Increase efficiency In order to defend self in a dangerous situation.” A definition of music was given by Carroll C. Pratt of Harvard University, who said "music, more nearly than any of the other arts, may be looked upon as a copy of the will itself.” Explaining the effects of music he said: "It is no mere figure of speech to say that the sounds of music rise and fall, soar and droop, leap and bound, surge and tumble, quiver and flutter, throb and pulsate, but so do our bodies, and the bodies of other people when giving expression to certain states of mind, rise and fall, throb and pulsate.” Rumania Plans Military Change. BUCHAREST. September 7 OFh. — Minister of War Chihoskl, it was learned today, is drafting a parlia mentary bill to reduce the term of active military service from two to one year.
