NATURES WORK WELL DONE
Trouble With Mankind ls That the
Brain Capacity Is Not suffi-
clently Cultivated.

A scientific gentleman has reminded
the country once more that judging
from the size of skulls dug up out of
the misty past, man has no more brain
capacity now than he had 125, 900 years
ago. There has long been lively sus-
picion that nobody in the twentieth
century has anything on Socrates or
Plato or Aristotle, and we are quite
ready to believe that there were cave
men with stone axes more than one
hundred thousand years ago, who had
the possibilities of being Aristotles or
Edisons.
Discouraging? Not at an. The race
seems to have enough brain capacity
in general to get on nicely. The only
trouble is in getting it cultivated.
Twenty-Five hundred years ago lit
tie people on favored spot in south
ern Europe had succeeded in building
up wonderful civilization. But there
was whole world of barbarians who
weren't educated up to it. They had
the brains but not the civilized back
ground. They had good physical in
heritance, but not social inheritance.
1t has taken most of the time since
the age Of Aristotle to develop the
right surroundings and the general in
herited stock of ideas on a large
enough scale to bring considerable
share of the millions Of people of Eu-
rope to the gateway of civilization. A
good many millions are still far re-
moved from the door.
Nature generally does pretty we'll.
It is not nature that is lacking. Happily
that is commodity that can be manu-
factured in wholesale lots If communi-
ties set themselves with energy to the
job.-Kansas City Star.

morous story.

Apropos Of the death OF the two
Garibaldi brothers. lighting with the
Italian volunteers in the Argonne,
Judge Parker TilIman. in a lecture on
the war. said:
(, This war is deadly past all prece-
dent. These two lads are the first Of
all the brood Of lighting Garibaldis
ever to be killed on the battlefield.
Deadly past all precedent. A leader
in this war must. willy nilly, sacrifice
his men for his country's sake. He
must treat his men as the man who
ran the skating pond treated the chap
who broke through the ice.
"As this poor chap fioundered in the
water. the exploiter Of the pond roared
at him:
Come out of that, or the water
won't freeze. But don't you break any
more Of my ice, do you hear? Swim
underneath to the edge, here where I
am, and I'll knock a hole for you to

ASSERTS LOVE COMES OFTEN
Woman Says She Has No Patience
With That -Man-in-the-

Take all the things you were abso-
futely sure Of in connection with love,
all that one-man-in-the-world business,
for instance. It's sheer rubbish. There
are dozens that each individual wom-
an could have. Just dozensl Why,
I've been in love with several myself,
only each time there was a new one
persuaded myself that the others
weren't real, says a writer in the Wom-
ans Home Companion But they
were. They were real enough. And
yet in the face Of my own experience
and my fathers too, for I had seen
how he had adored both my own moth
err and my stepmother-in the face of
1t all, kept on believing that one-man-
in-the-world business. Oh, for ages,
believed it. And another thing: Ev-
every young fool in love is absolutely
certain that the rapture is permanent,
that they are always going to thrill
ones eyes or voice or penmanship,
and shiver at the sight of the loved.
Isn't it silly? Because it can't last.
It may turn to calm affection or indif-
ference or even hate, but that raptur-
GUS glamour simply cannot endure.
