BRAIN POWER IN THE SEXES
One Authority Declares That Woman
Is the Equal Of Man In Re-
spect Of Ability.

Doctors have been discussing the
comparative brilliancy of woman's
brain as compared with mans.
Doctor Baruch of Columbia, says
that woman's gray matter does not
compare in brilliant manifestations
with that of man. Now to their res
cue has come Doctor Dorland of Chi
cago, who maintains that woman has
every whit as much brain as man and
quite as much brilliancy, proving his
contention by the names of 400 wom-
en-.
He further says that woman has
only really emerged from the back
ground during the last seventy-fve
years, not long enough for her to
achieve those heights reached by I'm.
fettered man. Her finer sensibilities,
her quick intuition have been a pow.
erful incentive in the building up of
civilization. What matter If she is
inconsistent, Illogical, physically frail?
These qualities do not discount the
fact that all the same she may pos
sess deep penetration and keen
mind.
Who denies mentality to man even
though he is known to possess boast
fulness, conceit and pride, which quail.
tiles he is pleased to call foibles?
Among the four hundred women
cited as proving the contention of
womans brilliancy equaling mans, are
Queen Elizabeth, Catherine of Russia,
Nine. Curie, Rosa Bonheur, Ellen Ter
ry, Frances Willard, George Sand, Ju.
liza Ward Howe, and Florence Nightin.

About 1S67-68 baseball team came

They called themselves the "Uncon.
quered Clippers Of Illinois," and plas.
tered our town with big posters. We
made up our minds to give them a
drubbing, and at the end of the game
the score was Rockford rs, Clippers O.
There was little chap playing third
base who grabbed everything that
came near him, and held it, too. /
noticed that he wore kind of glove,
When the game was over 1 went to
him and asked what it was that he
wore on his hand. He told me that
he was machinist, and had got his
hand badly hurt the week before, and
he showed me the wound in his palm.
He said the boys did not want him to
play in that game, but he got piece
of thin sheet steel and made it slightly
concave, but so that it did not quite
touch the sore place. He then made a
short glove to cover all the hand ex-
cepting the first joints Of the fingers
and doubled the leather in the palm SO
that he could slip the plate between
l asked him if 1t hurt, and he said it
did not. and that he could take a hot
one and hold it better with the glove
than without it. That is the whole
story. l don't think that spalding ever
talked to the little chap with the iron
fist, as the boys dubbed the third base
man, but everybody in Rockford knew
about the mitt, and he may have got
the idea from him. Anyway, that was
the first glove that any ballplayer
ever wore.-All Outdoors.
