exertion.
Experiments to discover the fundamental physical and mental differences between good and bad automobile drivers are being conducted by the
National Research Council.

By this means it was determ- | ined what degree of hand, foot and eye co-ordination the “driver" experienced. This, it was explained, is not a test of actual driving ability, but of something that enters prominently into the ability to drive in traffic Every move was automatically if corded Drivers who had figured in accidents did only about half as well as those with clean records.

YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS. He exists as cer-'^* tainly as love and generosity and de- flE •;ou exis and you know that t* 16 !' ^ abound end give to ycur life its high- Sr est beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary W i:d be the world if there were no
SANTA CLAUS! it would be as t '
drear/ as if there were no Virginias.

You fear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but 1 ,eip is a veil covering the unseen w. rid which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the stiongest men that ever lived, could tear apart Only faith, fancy, 1 oetry, love, romance, ran push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there i? nothing else more

NO SANTA CLAUS! Thank GOD! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now VIRGINIA, nay ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
