Is Intelligence Dying Out!
{ New York Wold. )

Prof Terman of Stanford University one of the foremost expermeners with intelligence tests reaches two dsheartening conclusions about tbe human race and makes them public simultaneously flrst, if man isn't born with an unusual mental equipment he will never be unusual; second the average intelligence of the is decreasing and genius will be scarcer in the future than in the mast fhis being the case, would it not be better for bu nahlty to quit now while it's reputation is still good than to descend from century century into darker depths or stupidity, eliminating, no doubt in the oblivion of the oyster?
 II MT. Temnan is correct, we have passed high water mark and the rest is going down But buman intelligence is difficult field to chart and Mir Ter man may be wrong. He who would sit in iudemont on the brain of his neighbor should first know every thlng there is to be known and no profesror of education ever knew anything He who would decide whether ancients or moderns take the palm on inc average for mother5wit should have all the data nm hand, and there are practically no data on this subject.
 great genius than the present that would olwavs De lrue Tor vastly more have lived than arc nou, allVe and each age has had a man or two of note AS Tor Mir. Termans final clinehing argument that the mentally competent slower in renroduction
 than the mentally incompetent could it not have argued as convincingly in any age in the age of Flato as well as in own? Yet there wore oroot men after Plato and in spite of all he can say to rho contrary there may be great after Prof Herman.

If It Fits


 The reason a boy likes his father better than he does his mother is because his dad never thinks he looks cute. with long curls or dolled up like a girl.
 After he has been married a while a man thinks the government should make the bachelors pay all the taxes and exempt all the married men.
 A good many peoples religion re- minds us of kids music. They never practice it enough to make much of a hit with it.
 II is as natural for women to be jealous as it is for them to breathe Otherwise. the woman who has mar ried dumbbell who looks like something the cat brought in never would lie awake nights worrying lest some vamp was going to walk off with him.
 Pride often does what love won't Many man who doesn't care much for his life partner will buy her fine clothes because he wants his wife to be dressed better than any one else
 It is getting so any girl is willing to marry any man if he has enough money saved up to pay the first ia- stallment on a motor car.
 A man always is putting off the things he ought to do, but have you ever noticed how prompt he is in doing the cussed things he ought not to do?
 We don't envy a preacher If he breaches long sermons folks growl because he is so long winded, and if he makes his sermons brief they kick because he is too lazy to earn his money.

Says Africa Flows
 With Milk and Honey

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Africa as the Continent of Great Misunder- standings, rather than the Dark Con- tlnent, and as a land flowing with milk and honey instead of the Last Frontier for romauticists athlrst for Wild thrills, is the theme of a re- port publsshel today by the Phelps Stokes Fund for an international commission, which has just returned from a 10 months investigation.
 The immense and varied physical resources of Africa are virtually un- known to civilization, says Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, author of the report because previous researches were made for private or government tai use, and the results ewre not pub hshed. He regrets that the popular conception of Africa was derived from journalistic accounts.

AMERICAN COOPERATION ESSENTIAL.

Immediate cooperation with Europe in regard t( the intergovernemental debt question is suggested b! pr Henry A. E. Chandler, economist of the Nationa Bank of Commerce in New York. In support of hi argument Dr. Chandler maintains in the Januar, number of the banks magazine, Commerce Monthly that comc of the principal debtors to the United States can not effect payments without assumin. Europe. While he recognizes with the return to normal conditions several of the debtors ought tt develop economic capacity to pay these debts h, believes that the very existence of them operates an effective block to the readjustments in Europe necessary to the return to normal conditions In this connection Dr. Chandler said
 We may summarize the intergovernmental debt situation fellows With regard to the economic capacity of the chief debtors 10 the United States it would appear that they will possess adequate capacity if some thing approaching their relative prewar productive and saving capacity can be re- established and maintained However, faee such an extraordinary situation Cor which We find nothing comparable in pre- war history) that until more progress can be made in the solution of present European problems 1t will be impossible to know how fast Europe will return toward normal The principal question arises, therefore not as to the ultimate economic capacity but as to the time when the regular maintenance of this capacity will be assured.
 The capacity of the government to finance the payment Of these debts, however is a much more uncertain problem Their ability to pay depends upon many future events such as the final outcome of the German in demnity, the effect of future monetary read Justments, as well political developments that the question of the financial capacity Of some of he chief debtors must remain very uncertain for considerable time to
 
 We do know, however that to pay these debts the governments of several countries must add great weight to the unprecedented burdens that they attempting to carry.
 We also know that the critical condition or the finances has caused tremendous econ omc losses since the close of the war and uhat It Is not impossible that the attempt by the governments 10 carry too heavy fnan- cial burdens may in the future bring addi- tcnal economic losses of great weight Ger tainly the question of the time when normal growth will be resumed depends to some extent upon how soon balanced budgets stable monetary conditions normal exchanges etc, can be reestabshed. And these ara now impcded by the very existence of the intergovernmenta debt question Noreovar the solution of this question in Ealrone in cluding the question of reparation payments IS impeded by the present status of the debts of the allied nations 10 the United States.
 Three courses, he adds. are open to the rnitad States in handling the intergoyernmenta debt sita lion which is involved in many uncertainties and

BUILDING YOUR TOWN
Takes Men Who Are W;ll;no
to Loosen Up Purse Strings
Men Who Have Faith.

What does it take to build .
town! 1t takes more boosters than
knockers; more men with shirt
than those who do not know what
the term public spirit" means r
takes men who are willing to take
off their coats and work for tbe
common good. 1t takes men who
are willing to loosen their purse
strings a little, and not clutch ev-
cry red cent until the solid Indian
gives vent to choked sob of
pain.
1t takes men who have faith and
confidence IN their fellow men. and
who do not ascribe Interior mo-
tlves to everything anybody under
takes. 1t takes women who are
willing to do their full share, and
children who are imbued with the
spirit OF home pride. 1t takes those
who are big enough and broad
enough to overlook factional strife
and who are willing to shoulder
their part of the task for the
building of the mutual cause.
All these things it takes, and
when you find a town where that
spirit predominates, and the snarl-
ers and the fellows who weakly
gasp, 1T can't be DONE, are rele-
gated to a seat in the rear, YOU
and getting it's share of the things
that generally make life worth
while.
Added to the above it takes bust
ness men who will purchase of
brother business men at every op-
portunity. When business man
goes out of town to buy some
thing which he could have pur-
chased Of his own brother business
man, he is beating both the, com
munlty and himself. He is beat
ing the community because he is
sending his money out of town in
stead of keeping it circulating at
home. He is beating himself be-
cause he is cutting the bonds of
loyalty towards his own business
as part of the community bus
mess. What claims has a man of
this type got on local people for
trade when he isn't man enough
to practice his own preaching

JOHN c. BRYDoN

The bituminous branch of the coal
industry, on which the United
States Coal Commission is to report
in the autumn, has meanwhile taken
definite steps along the line Of self
organization to serve the public in
emergencies.
John c. Brydon, who as chairman
OF the special committee appointed
to cooperate with the Presidents
commission has been in close touch
with the internal affairs of the in
dustry and with outside reactions,
was unanimously elected president
OF the National Coal Association at
that body's convention during the
latter part of June.
Brv6 I has advanced plan
for minute man" organization of
the 5000 Independent bituminous
operators, making the entire soft
coal supply of the nation instantly
available in any crisis of peace or
war. His suggestions, requiring
only an enabling act of Congress to
empower the President to declare an
emergency and draft coal resources,
were formulated in advance of SIM
liar recommendations by the coal
commission, affecting the anthra-
cite branch of the industry.
GA committee from this body"
Mr.. Brydon told the men who elect
ed him their leader, SHOULD consult
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1923-08-22

with the War and Navy Depart
ments concerning their possible
emergency needs and also with the
Interior and Commerce Depart
ments. We should hold ourselves
responsive to requests from any Of
the departments.
"This plan should include the per-
sonnet, so that when an emergency
does arise they may go individually
and collectively to their pre-ar-
ranged posts and begin to function.
This personnel may be changed
from time to time as circumstances
demand, but personnel can always
be, and should always be provided.
This plan should be so compre-
hensive that it would not only apply
to the central organization at Gov
eminent headquarters but to the re-
hottest producing districts in
the United States. Such a plan,
when worked out to the last detail,
with the informal approval of the
Government and transportation,
would need only an act of Congress
to legalize it at the time the emer-
gency arises. Once accepted by the
Government, it would rival any pre-
vious unsolicited effort of an indus
try to serve the nation unselfshly
and be virtual guarantee of reg
ular soft coal supply at fair prices
to the public in crises"
