Kow to Trap Lynxei
No Intelligence Test.
World Smash in 1928.
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. A better civilization
will follow.
The professor reads all that
in Bible prophesies and in the
pyramid. Ou rposition in the
solar system will change.
Luckily Prof. Pav may be mis-
' taken. Once such a prophecy

East In her nature, the velvet of In

Mabel Williams, as a name for
a professional stage beauty?
Never! ; '-.
So Mabel Williams has become
"Vasanta" In the programs of
"Take the Air," one of New York's
current musical comedy successes.
"Vasanta is a contraction of
Vasantasena, the name of the he
roine of an ancient Sanskrit legend

dramas." she explnined. "Vasanta
sena is beautiful, but a bit too
long."
Mabel was born in India. Her
parents were a British army offi

baron. Both died . and she was'
adopted by her father's cousin, the
wife of Dr. Leon Williams.

With two elections, a primary
and general election, slated for
this year, and a complete corps of
county officials to be chosen, in
terest In local politics is begin
ning to warm up. So far political
discussion has centered entirely
around the county offices, al
though the state positions as .well
are to be filled.
From all Indications - the , pri
mary election will see one of the
most heated political fights for
county offices . in recent years.
There will be contests on the re
publican ticket for nearly every of
fice and as the prospective candi
dates so far in the 'field are all
well known It is very probable that
the election will be a real contest
from start to finish.
For the office of county Judge
two strong candidates are openly
In the field. George K. Quine, now
serving, will be up for reelection.
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. Stewart, when thojat
ter passed away, soon after taking
office. Previous to holding his pres
ent position he served as sheriff,
so that his 'long' tenure' of public
office has made him well known to
the residents of the county.
. Ho will be opposed by R. A.
Horcher of Dlllard, who is also
well known throughout the county.
Mr. Hercher has long been one of
tho leading farmers of the Dillard
vicinity and has maintained an ac
tive Interest in public affairs. He
served two terms in the state
legislature from this county' with
grent credit to the county and him
self nnd has In other ways demon
strated his ability for the office
which he seeks. He has been ac
tively engaged In the work of the
taxpayers' league, holding the of
fice of director In that organiza
tion. C. L. Beckloy, the retiring coun
ty commissioner, has announced
that he will not seek reelection
and It is expected that there will
