EUROPE SHOWS SLIGHT GAIN IN TRADE TOTAL Wail Street Slump Felt; German Exchange Goes Down. BY HENRY CAMMING I'niteil Pres* Staff Correspondent PARIS, Dec. 16.—General business renditions in most of the European countries continue to show moderate improvement, according to the December trade reports compiled by commercial attaches. Practically all European countries have been afTected by the unsettled conditions growing out of the Wall Street slump, but to what extent it will be felt can not be gauged Immediately. Italy shows a steady improvement in commerce and industry. A large wheat harvest has reduced wheat imports and customs receipts, and has depressed sharply grain prices in some districts. There has been no marked change In German business conditions. The Stock Exchange continues its downward movement, but has been less afTected by the New York break than might have been expected. Czechoslovakia is showing a decreased industrial production. A slowing up is reported in iron and steel, as well as in textiles—chiefly cotton and flax—and the lumber business is lagging. Switzerland reports that her exports for the first three-quarters of the year 1929 exceed those of the same period of 1928 by 4.000,000 francs, with an increase of imports amounting to 20,000,000 francs. The decidedly larger volume of imports is due mainly to heavier purchases of grain. Importation of American automobiles has declined as a result of recent traffic agitation. Spain for several months has been centering her attention on the problem of the Peseta exchange. Immediately after the government announced the withdrawal of its support of the Peseta, there was a sudden drop in the value of the standard. Tt has recovered partially and now’ stands at 7.02 to the dollar. PURDUE THRESHERS IN PROGRAMS OVER WLS Entertainment and Farming Advice Series Opened Today.

HELD IN JAIL-BREAK Man Arrested Here Wanted in Rushville Attempt. Alfred Isley, 50, of 1416 North Illinois street, arrested here Saturday night, was turned over to Rushville authorities Sunday for questioning concerning an attempted jail delivery there recently. Isley was a former partner of De Witt Parker, notorious gunman and bank robber, and served a prison sentence for aiding Parker in a bank holdup almost ten years ago.

SEVERAL SCHOOLS WILL USE COMPOSITE TESTS New Series W’ritten by Member of I. U. Faculty. Bit Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 16. Professor W. A. Wright, of the Indiana university school of education. is the author of a series of six composite achievement tests for the elementary grades from three to eight, to be used in more than 60 per cent of the country schools and in a few city schools of Indiana to replace old type tests. Professor Wright has combined all the examinations for each grade into one book with a key chart to aid in grading. Questions included in the test books are of the kind that require little or no discussion and can be answered with a few words. This will enable teachers to grade the pupils more equally, the author Wright points out. The author of the new tests recently completed a study of the composite achievement test in Indiana which has been published by the I. U. bureau of co-operative research. He is co-author of seven arithmetic practice books which are used in conjunction with the standard arithmetic text books for elementary grades.

GIRLS’ SCHOOL INMATES FOUND LOW MENTALLY 65 Per Cent Below Normal in Institutions, Says South Bend Woman. Mental average of girls sentenced j to the Indiana Girls’ school at Cler- : mont is below normal in 65 per cent of the cases and only one-fifth, of these girls could be expected to compete- socially with the average persons. This conclusion is reached as the result of a five-year survey just completed, made public by Miss Gladys D. Ffith of South Bend at the mental health conference at the Claypool today. Dr. Frith formerly was research assistant in clinical psychology at James Whitcomb Riley hospital. She stated the survey was conducted under direction of Dr. Herman H. Young, clinical psychologist of Indiana university. Most Are Retarded '‘Survey results,” she told tb* 1 conference, “show that while per cent of the girls were 14 years and 6 months of age. or older, only 9 per cent were ready for high school. Most of them were retarded in school. Warden Walter H. Daly talked on the defective adult delinquent and cited prison figures from the Michigan City institution, of which he is head. “The child guidance clinic is the latest and most effective medical instrument developed for the preservation of health of the individual as such,” Dr. Frank J. O’Brien, director of the psychological clinic at Louisville, told the gathering. “Its field embodies the use and development of scientific data in the fields of medicine, sociology, social work, a”d religion. Usefulness Shown • Child guidance n ily must involve the home. Dr. Hlcne P. Langer. director of the child guidance clinic at Indiana university school of medicine, asserted. “The study of each child,” she

said, “Includes, among other things, a study of the individuals influencing his conduct and the program for constructively influencing his conduct includes the development of a mental hygienic viewpoint in those individuals situated nearest to the mental life of the child.” Special teacher training for these in charge of the special schcols for the atypical child and conduct of such schools was discussed in talks by Superintendent L. C. Ward of the Ft. Wayne public schools and Miss Catherine Filmer. principal of the School for Feeble Minded Youth at Ft. Wayne. “The nervous and excitable teacher has no place in the special school,” Miss Milner declared. “Patience and perseverance are of paramount importance. A sense of humor is essential. The teacher must know her subject matter so well that she can adapt the instruction to fit the needs of the individual child.

-‘Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a wonderful medicine at the Change of Life. I would get blue spells and just walk the floor. I was nervous and did not care for anything, could not sleep at night and was not able to do my work. I know if it had not been for your medicine I would have been in bed most of this time and had a big doctor’s bill. If women would only take your medicine they would be better. I eat and sleep as I should and can do lots of work now.” — Mrs. Anna Weaver.
