Lausanne, May 23rd.- Allies have
abandoned q formal session of the Near
East Conference, probably until Satur-
day. in order to seek a settlement Of TIE
trOu blesOme problems to avoid a rupture
Of the Conference and tird a solution OF
the Greco Turkish differences arising
over PREPARATIONS. An effort is being
made , straighten out the PREPARATIONS
mLtter by inducing Greece to cede some
territory to Turkey, in lreturn for renun-
ci9tlOr Of an indemnity. The British
delegation has issued a long statement
reviewing the work and affirming that
much has been accomplished. 1t adds
that both the Allies and Turkey want
peace, but there is no short cut to the

hope will at least afford a basis for dis

INTELLIGENCE TEST
TO BE NECESSARY
BEFORE MARRIAGE
CMlds Brain as Well as
Body Should Get Care,
Sociologist Says.

Madison. Wis. Oct. tS.-passing
OF an intelligence test as a require
ment for marriage can be looked for
within ten or twenty years, according
to Professor f. A. Ross, of the Uni
vcrsity of Wisconsin faculty, nation
ally known sociologist.
The mental test probably will be
part of the marriage code. much as
the physical examination is now in
many stetes. Professor Ross said.
parents give their children their
mental qualities as well rs their physi-
cal characteristics" he declared.
1T is Just as necessary TO preserve
the mind standard of the next genera
tons as it is that its bodily health
be safeguarded.
Il believe that intelligence tests.
properly used. will enable society TO
prevent largely the birth of children
mentally incapable. VINO later become a
liability TO the nation.
Even now. the mental ability of
children can be forecast by tudy of
the parents and their families.
"As TO the color of the hair or eyes,
these can be predicted
The proportion of mentally inferior
individuals is increasing in the United
States. Professor Ross said.
'1rhc means of combating this ten
dency towards lower level of intel
ligence is TO place restrictions on
children of parents of low mental
caliber
Marriages NAV not be forbidden by
law. but tests will show 10 prospective
husbands and wives and their families
what the mental capacities of the
children are.
Care must be taken that the stand
ard and requirements are not fixed in
such way that they will be impossible
to enforce. or that there will be in
furious effects on society as whole.
"Native intelligence itself, apart
from education or other acquired
knowledge, should be sought in the
tests"

Stewed rabbit. formerly a popu-

is for the time being banned every

feared more than rats.
All this results from the act of
hungry thieves who broke into the

away with two cages of rabbit
which had been inoculated with
typhoid and other germs.
The police have been instructed
to shoot at sight any rabbit seen
at large.

Contempt of Court.

Exercise of the power to punish for
contempt of court is stretched to the
breaking point in the Craig case. A
power which the court rightly has for
self pr otection while actually function
ing is weakened and discredited if
stretched to apply with harshness to
remote technical or constructive con-
tempts committed out Of court. If a
judge has power to Jail a libelous
critic, without the Intervention of
grand and petit jury that is required
to punish the offender when any one
else is libeled, he should, if he is wise,
hold this power in reserve for emer-
gency use and exercise it with self
restraint and discretion. Abuse Of
unique power, apparently infringing
constitutional or traditional rights of
other Americans, will tend inevitably
to legislative withdrawal or curtail-
ing of the power itself. The sugges-
ton that judge cannot be prevented
from jailing one who verbally slurs
him even by presidential pardon gives
another strong impulse toward with
drawal of the power. 1t will not be
conceded that the modern unpardona-
BILE sin is really contempt of court, in
cluding contempts that are remote and
technical.
