Per- | haps the social intelligence test is go- jing to ald materially in solving the problem. When bank cashiers and recelving tellers are chosen because of their |ability to get along with people as well as for their knowledge of bank- {ing business, there are going to be fewer persons transfer their accounts in a huff from one bank to another. Detectives who are chosen for their people” are going to make fewer fum- bles in landing their criminals. In the choice of patrolmen and de- tectives heretofore, too much empha- sis has been put on physical size rather than on quickness and mental alertness, or on modern devices for | uick_communication and_transporta- tion of police officers. A little man on |a motor cycle is much more efficient in running down a bandit in an auto- | mobile—incidentally, the way all ban- dits travel in this day and time—than a giant policeman without his seven- league boots. In police work, in_personnel work, in banking, .in teaching, or in any position where -handling a constant stream of people is necessary, no qual- and directions of superior officers.

Van Ness Most of the farm tools were bought b: N. L. Queen and most of the houss hold goods were bought by Mrs. Johs | M. Wightt, widow of John Magruder Wightt, and who I believe was a Miss Queen. There is a gap in the history of this land which the Rambler did not fill in, and he rang up his old friend, | George H. O'Connor, a vice president | of the District Title Insurance Co. “George” 1 phoned “I'm stuck on ‘Inclosure’ and if you'll turn over the resources of your company to me it'll save me about 19 hours’ work lifting and going through the wrong books at the recorder of deeds office.” “Sure” sald George “I'l have the stuff made ready for you. Will you | come up or shall T bring it down?” The Rambler went to the office of the District Title Insurance Co., 1413 I street, and was loaned out of the files.of the company the abstract of title of Brookland. ~With that record before me I can tell you Henry Queen died unmarried and intestate in April, 1874, leaving as his only heirs-at-law his sisters Ann, Mary, and Elizabeth, who are mentioned in the will of John Magruder Wightt. Ann M. Queen married Col. Jehiel Brooks. She died in 1876, leaving as her only children and heirs Frank Brooks, Nicholas Boyd Brooks, Laura Brooks, John Henry Brooks and Emily Brooks. There we have it ‘Inclosure” passed from the Wightt many a damestic break-up among oper- atic_folk. Well, people are interested in mar- riage and the mishaps to which it fashioned domestic rows are obvi- ous. “Best pal and severest critic” is not the watchword of matrimonial liable, and I have often heard a re. | felicity as it flourishes operatically. mark that divorces are very common | Briefly, the life of the lyric artist among opera singers.

He In the Spring they are off to sing in Curope or South America or various places in the United States, with ap- pearances in divers kinds of opera sea- sons or in concerts. And then they are llable to sudden ascents from the most unhappy obscurlty to wealth and fame.
