ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla - To one

CONVOLUTIONS NOT
SIGN OF MENTAL POWER
IBy Latest MALL

PHILADELPHIA - DIR. T.. Linden
Mellus, who has experimental for
many years at the Johns Hopkins
Medical School and elsewhere, told
the members Of the American Physio-
logical Society, in annual session
here. that the weight of a brain has,
no relation to its potency. and the in
tricate brain convolutions have moth
ing to do with the power of the brain.
The theory that intricate conyolu-
lions were a sign of brain power or
efficiency seems based rather on the
desire for anatomic explanation than
on any procurable facts" he~said.

PREPARES FOR
Big CONVENTION
FARGO COUNCIL NO. 65, ". c. r.,
MEETS TONIGHT AND WILL
TAKE UP PLANS FOR ATTEND
ANcE AT BIG CONVENTION IN
MANkATO,

Fargo council No. IS, U. C. T., meets
tonight and will take up plans for
attendance at the big convention in
Mankato in June. Fargo council ex-
poets to make a big showing at the
convention, for the attendance has in
creased largely in the past year, and
there are at present 403 members in
the council, with ten to fifteen more
coming in tonight.
Fargo council is now 23rd in 556
councils throughout the country.
There Is not a city with less than
twice the population of Fargo that has
a council SO large as this city has.
Topeka, with nearly $4,000 people, has
a council Of the same size. Wheeling
Is In the same class as Topeka and
does not outdistance Fargo, though
they have over $4,000 population.
The meeting tonight will AXE up the
matter of the baseball team which it
was proposed to send from here to
represent Fargo council in Mankato.
Inquiry has been made Of Mankato as
to whether there will be a baseball
league during the convention, and so
far no answer a been received. How
ever, Manager Forth has his colts
ready, and will give a good account
Of himself If called upon.
The baseball boys n Manager For
tin are not SO anxious about games at
Mankato since the Fargo-Moorhead
team became a reality, for they figure
that they will issue a challenge to Mr..
Unglaub's bunch to meet them in daily
battle on the diamond. They feel
confident that they can trim the
Graingrowers to a fragile, and are
hopping up and down in their anxiety
for the fray.
1t is rumored that North Dakota Is
to be set aside as a separate jurisdic-
ton from Minnesota. and this matter
will probably come up tonight for dis
cussion. Most Of the councils in
North Dakota do not wish this change,
as they feel that the jurisdiction Of
the two states, being large and strong,
can act much more effectively, and
benefit more, bw continuing as at
present.
