QUALITY, MOI SIZE, COUNTS
Mans Mental Superiority Not Due. to
the Relative Size of His
Brain, ~ x 4

Elephants and whales are said to
surpass human beings in the weight
Of their brains. But, compared with
the weight of the whole body, there
are not many animals which can beat
man-in fact, it may surprise the
reader to know that there are ami
mails existing which rank ahead of hu-
manipulating, Of course, the weight
of the BRAIN az against that Of the
whole body. @;.ss.. ~
Many kinds of monkeys, certain
members Of. the squirrel family, and q
few sof the mouse species, all being
small animals, surpass man in brains
so we are told. Any animal, however,
which is larger than q man, has no
brain which is relatively as large as
his. .. -" $3.50 .
It would appear that mans mental
superiority is due rather to the quail
ity and organization of his brain than
to the size, says a London Answers
writer. .:,
The usual weight Of mans brain in
said to be 491k ounces, as against q
woman's A ounces.
A small head is no criterion as to-
the brains Of person; it. depends
upon the cerebral convolutions as to
ones brain power. Indeed, it is said
that the large brains do not always de-
note great mental capacity.
:. Many celebrated men in the past
have possessed brains weighing less
than the average 1914 ounces Of man.
kind generally. .. :......
< A brain weighing over 60 ounces
said to have been the heaviest known
the possession Of a man who
never earned more than 40 shillings q
week during the whole Of his lifetime
Another man who never earned a large
sum was said to have record brain
for weight, so that size and weight are
nothing to go by! &

Favorable Interpretation Of Tax Law
BY Y. 8. supreme Court Would
Boost Receipts, Director
Qvale Declares.

Minneapolis The government is
finding the enforcement of prohibition
in Minnesota an exceedingly lucrative
business. Violators OF the act during
1921 have: paid in fines and assess
ments 1888, 16S or $43,168 more than
the estimated, cost Of enforcing the
law, which is placed at $4,000.
These facts were revealed by the
records Of Joe NJ. Dickey, clerk of the
United States district court; L. M.
Whlcuts, collector of internal revenue,
and S. B Qvale, state prohibition di,
rector All fines were paid to the
clerk of the district court while the
internal revenue office collected the
taxes and penalties. = =. ::
May Collect More. -"
While the actual income from the
law was $133;16S, of which $103,445
represented fines and $29,723 assess
ments, the government still has a
good chance of collecting thousands
of dollars additional in the opinion Of
both the internal revenue office and
Mr.. Qyale. $50 4
Taxes and penalties assessed
against the property of violatqrs dur
ing 1921 reached the total of $2,0S7,-
$685." Mr.. Qvale said. 1T has been
possible for the internal revenue office
ito Z. collect but fraction. of this
amount as the question whether the
Volstead act permits such levies has
not Yet been decided by the United
States supreme court. If the supreme
court does decide that such assess
ments can be made, the government
will collect thousands of dollars more
in Minnesota from our 1921 opera
tions.'' Ns.s-> s~.
This question will not confront the
prohibition enforcement staff during
1922, Mr.. Qvale said, as the recently
adopted Willis Campbell santi-beer bill
provides for tax and penalty levies.
The result will be, he predicted, a
much greater profit from prohibition
in 1922 than during the present year.
1,448 Persons Arrested.
In the course of their activities dur
ing the year Mr.. Qvale reported, fed
eral agents have arrested LAB per
sons;g confiscated 43,2O9 gallons of
beer, wine, whisky and moonshine;
DESTROYED 224 stills and seized 9 1o2
automobiles valued at $66,39o The
government has retained possession
of about half of the automobiles and
they will be sold upon court order.
The largest amount in fines paid
during the year was at the December
session Of federal court in st. Paul,
when the government received $4,000
from violators. The October term Of
court in MINNEAPOLIS yielded $4,000.
Large totals were EEceiye4 at the, Du-
luth term early III the Year and the
Twin City terms during the spring.
Violators in most cases pleaded
guilty and were assessed from 500 to
5000 each. In some cases the fines
we're as high as. $500 Jail sentences
were imposed in comparatively few
cases. 49, -.ysE., y ~

CAPTAIN SUB UEs MUTINEERs'
Hooch-crazed Crew OF Steamer chsss
ter kiwanis Finds His Fist
Woroe Than Hurricane.

Latest reports from the mutiny on
the shipping board tramp steamer
Chester Kiwanis while she was an.
chored' of Staten island early the other
morning, indicate that it was not fol
assistance Capt. Job Cunningham
called the harbor squad Of the police
department. The captain and his chief
engineer, although they we're only two
against thirty-four drunken and
quarrelsome seamen, finished the job
Of quelling the mutiny in such work
manlike manner that they thought i
a shame there were no witnesses to
the results IF their efficiency, the New
York World states.
The mixup started when some Of the
white sailors, having Struggled aboard
a quantity Of bootleg h6och, renewed q
quarrel with the eight negro members
Of the crew, who appealed to the
captain for projections: There had
been friction all the way over from
Boulogne, from which port the Chester
Kiwanis cleared and Capt. Cunning
ham was pretty we'll fed up with argu-
ment. Il ~ e.
Therefore he vent to. !, the TO- elsie,
where he found the crew had bar.
ricaded itself in. With one blow OF
his huge fist the captain shattered q
panel Of the door, driving his fore
arm clear through. At this point q
sailor made tactical error Of biting
the captains wrist. After that the
captain laid out every sailor within
reach. and he managed to reach about
all Of them. Chief Engineer Michael
son Joined the fray and although he
got couple of black eyes, he gave
better than he received, and 1t was
not long before all was quiet along the
Staten island shore. &"..
That was the time that the captain
and the chief decided it>~was too bad
no one could see their handiwork.
Therefore, when one of the crew below
started-> to> yell they summoned the
police boat, explaining that they
cleared q second outbreak"
, Current opinion among the crew Is
that those two officers are not in fear
Of anything. 80. q.

conferred with Secretary Hughes at

would not accept the American sug

this regard, it was added, would be
outlined in detail of the naval com
