INTERESTING EXPERIMENT Two scientific minded high school students, Bob Justen and John Rogers, filled a ballon with gas as a science experiment and released the balloon at the rear of the Rogers home on Pearl street on November 30. Just one day later, on December 1, the balloon was picked up in Merrill, Mich., 250 miles away, by a fourteenyear- old lad who read the tag and answered the local boys immediately, telling of his find. How was that for quick service for a penny, the cost of the balloon! We often say that we have forgotten something, but the truth is that we are merely unable to recall the t^ing, and we have not forgotten it all. The forgotten thing returns very quickly when something suggests it. Psychologists state that nothing that enters the minds is ever lost, for every experience is recorded on the brain just as permanently as every sound is recorded on the wax of a phonograph record. Under hypnotism, people readily recall early childhood experiences long believed "forgotten," and even speak languages not heard since infancy. (Public Le^er--WNU Service.)
