Brains Size Doesn't Count

AS the action of the brain has not
as yet been seen by man, no one at
present knows just what it is. beyond
it's merely physiological or mechanic
cal substance. 1t is said that the
brain Of the normal man contains
over 300, 00O,o 900 cells, and that about
5000 are destroyed every minute. If
this is the case then a new brain APP
pears about once in sixty days. The
normal brain has a volume Of So to
105 cubic inches. The brain OF the
Anglo Saxon and the German, and
Of other civilized nations, averages
the larger number, while the negro
brain occupies a space of al out 90
cubic inches, and some Australian
natives have brains of only about IS
cubic inches. The male brain is
about 10 per cent heavier or larger
than that of the female. The most
intelligent animals have only about

Romance of London Guilds

How many people know what
FLETCHER" is? The F1etchers are one
of the livery companies of the city of
London, and the name means an
arrow maker, London It'd Bits ex-
plains.
Some names Of the city companies,
such as the fanmakers, barkers, a
pothccares, joincrs and musicians,
are easily recognizable, but what does
a cordwainer do. and loriner. and
an upholdcr? The first is a cobhler,
the second a bride, bit and spur
maker. and the third an upholsterer.
Among the most curious OF the
companies is the pattenmakers. The
patten was a contraption to fit on the
boot like a double skate. which lifted
the pedestrian a few inches from the
dirt and filth of the street.

to definition Of Intoxicating liquor
contained in the latter.
The volstead Act DEFINES intoxi.
eating liquor as ANY spirituous, vim
GUS. malt or fermented liquor, liquids
and compounds containing one-half
Of one per cent or more Of alcohol
by volume which are At for use for
beverage purposes" This definition
applies to prosecutions in the United
States courts under the Federal
statutes. 1t is not and does not pur-
port to be controlling in prosecutions
in the State courts under State
statutes. In prosecutions in the State
courts, therefore, it is not sufficient
to show that the liquor which is the
subject Of the prosecution contains
one-half of one per cent or more of
alcohol and is fit for use for bever-
age purposes. It must appear that
1t is in fact intoxicating and also
capable of US as a beverage.
The respondent was arraigned in
the Sanford Municipal Court'charged
with illegal possession of intoxicat-
ing liquor. The evidence showed
that he had in his possession a guam
tity Of Bosak's Horke Vino, a So
called medicinal preparation con-
tanning more than eighteen per cent
of alcohol, and that such preparation
was intended for sale in the state
and to be used as a beverage. But
the true test under our statute is not
the alcoholic content of the liquor
but its actual intoxicating quality. not
the intent that it be used as a bev-
erage but its capability of such use.
Applying this test the evidence
abundantly shows that the liquor
seized in and taken from the re-
spondent's possession is Intoxicating
liquor.
The respondent offered four let
tiers written by Federal officials. The
most that these letters, if admissible,
prove Is that Bosak's Horke Vino
contains an undisclosed percentage
Of various ingredients in some I'M
specified degree laxative, and that
the compound is classed as a medi-
cine. This is not decisive. A liquid
may be in some small degree laXa-
tive and be classed as medicine and
still be Intoxicating in fact and cap
able of use as beverage.
The Court is satisfied that the IL
quor found in respondents posses
sion and seized was an intoxicating
beverage masquerading as q medi-
cine. According to the term of the
report the respondent is adiudged
guilty and the liquor declared for
feited.

RESCRIPTS FROM
the Law COURT

Inc law court has handed down
the Following rescripts in Androscog-
gin and York county cases. The re-
scripts were drawn by Associate JUS
tice Deasy. and are as follows:
Androscoggin county. Isaac Stach-
owitz VS.. Barron-Anderson Company,
Whether given conduct can be Ie-
gaiiy held to be breach of a GER
tain contract. /. e.. whether capable
OF being so held. is a question of law.
The exceptions are to ruling that
the facts show a breach of contract
by the defendant. This Court is of
the opinion that the evidence is not
legally capable Of such construction.
The exceptions must be sustained.
BY the contract in force at the
time Of the alleged breach the plain
TN agreed for a period ending June
18th. 1922. to do at Lewiston work
to be sent from the defendants Bos-
ton factory. The defendant agreed
to pay for such work. It is unimpor-
tant that this was a modification of
an earlier and different contract, Ad-
mittedly the plaintiff had been paid
Tor all work done to the date of suit.
Liability. II any. was for anticipatory
breach. The letter relied upon as
showing such breach reads thus: Il
md that your client has no griev-
ance at this time since he has been
paid for all services rendered and
there is nothing due him at this
time" There is no remuneration or
reputation Of liability to employ and
pay the plaintiff. No anticipatory
breach Is shown.
Exceptions sustained. 7-rer
