THE SPEED OF
MANS BRAIN

We may think the response of the
brain to stimulation is instantaneous,
but it is not. If you ask a mar to yell
when you pinch him, the pinch and
the yell will not be simultaneous, but
will be separated by a brief interval,
during which the sensation of the
pinch will be travelling up to the mans
brain through his nerves and the
will to yell moving down through
and vocal chords. This reaction
time is important, because if it is too
long it shows that the nervous appara-
tus is out of order. DR.. Anar, of Par
is, has devised a machine to measure
it to the hundredth part of a second.

TWO MESSAGES

Catherine B~reshkovsky has just sent
out a pamphlet entitled "a Message to
the American People," She does not
ask for military intervention in Rus
STA but makes an earnest plea for &C.
onomic, technical, financial and cul-
tural help, and especially for aid in
bringing up Russia's 1000, 900 orphans.
She a to the Americans:
You must notforgetthatinrendering
such essential assistance to Russia as
caring for her fatherless children, you
perform a double act of service. You
give your means and energy, and be-
sides. in establishing standard instf
tutions for education on a basis of CO.
operative work.sand mutuel aid you
will remind mankind if it's duties, and
show US 90 to employ most benefici-
ally u energies and abilities. You
will point out that educating the peo-
pie is the first obligatory task, the
neglect of which has caused misfor.
tune not only in Russia, but also in
Europe, and undoubtedly all over the
world
More attention and more money
will be devoted, to education when the
mothers of the world over have a vote.
Many inquiries have been made as
to how and where this work for the
Russian orphans a be safely begun,
under present conditions. MiGe. Bressisf-
kovsky says:
81 find the region of the Urals, es-
pecially the district of ~Cheliabinsk,
particularly well suited for the found
ing of the first settlements for orphans
This vast region of Western Siberia
is well protected against disturbances.
The fact that the city of Cheliabinsk
icthe centre of the cooperative peas
ant ORDINATIONS is also an advantage.
Though we cannot figure much on the
financial assistance of our cooperative
societies, on account of the general
poverty in Russia their sympathy and
interest in the problem of educating
the children will no doubt be of great
help. Our Zemstvos of the provinces
and districts of the Ural region will
also help us as far as possible.
AT any rate. the first settlement,
established on a firm and rational bas-
is. will serve as an illustration as to
how TO deal With the 100000 orphans
and how|to conduct the education Of
children in general in order to raise
for the country, instead Of weak and
helpless creatures, people who will be
able to further conditions under which
the feelings of brotherhood will be part
and parcel of our daily existence.
Help US to realize this plan, my
friends, americans"
Somehow, the very existence of SO
noble d woman as Catherine Breshkov-
sky seems to be an argument for
eadal suffrage. She al put In her
whole life to make the world better.
Her great personality makes a pro-
found impression upon all who have

chancellor. with the request that he

learned. later. that Max hadn't pre-

Scheidemann had copy Of the

There Is no doubt that the great.

sure that. II the kaiser remains. the
