Good in the End. By Arthur Brisbane ! (Copyright 1D28 by Star Company) HODGE, Cal. Here on , the Mojave desert, the im portant news is that you can trap anything, if you take the advice of John A. Little, of San Simeon, on the coast north of here. . Mr. Little, champion trapper, says. "Don't use bait, makes the animals suspicious, and don't set your traps under bushes, for the same reason. Set them, well covered, on. a' smooth open-trail, and put lit . tie sticks on either side of the trap .front and back. The hunt ing animal, fearing to make a noise, steps over the sticks, and into the trap." . Following that advice, Rob ert Hodge and his young part ner, Seward S. Brisane. have trapped this -week. . six . lynxes, almost as big as police dogs, and one fox. No lynx had been trapped here for two years. This is important news for the chickens, turkeys and Jack rab bits. -L i , Dr. H. W. Johnson, of the' Mellon institute, says "intelli gence tests" are only "pseudo scientific." No test can tell what is in a human brain. : No test could have told much about a small, shy, morose boy, "never seen to smile." in the trench school of Brienne, and named Napoleon Bona- a Hrie. jno test could have pre- f dieted that the over eatine, t hard drinking, and stoutish J man that retired to work in Switzerland, would writ.. r.;K. bons". history of the Roman empire's rise and fall. Dr. Moss, of George Wash ington University, says there are three kinds of intelligence, "abstract" intelligence, which creates scientists; "social" in telligence, which makes able politicians and salesmen, and a "mechanical" intelligence, which produces such men as Henry Ford. There are several other kinds of intelligence wrapped up in Henry Ford, but that is another story. Nothing explains genius. Man's brain is a receiving sra- i tion, which records messages I from outside. No one knows whence thtfy come. Shakes .J peare did not know how he i wrote, or Michael Angelo or J Beethoven how he made all other artists second rate. God. what genius 1 had when I wrote that," an able writer said, reading one of his own worksi after genius had left him. And Nietzscho. old, feeble minded, living under the protection of his kind hearted sister, said when some book was mentioned, "Book. I also have written a .book." His books had changed the men tal attitude of a great nation and they still influence the world. He did not know how he wrote them, and later did not even know he had written them. If you have loose ends in business or conscience. fix V them. You may not be here long. Professor Pav, French astrologer, says the constella tion Leo will explode in 1928, multitudes of stars will smash, one big piece will hit this earth. ' Most of us, not all, will be wioed out.

Ho is completing one full term and has served a portion of one other term, having been appointed to till out the unexpired term or Hon. D. J.
