BRAIN NOT
DETERM
BY HEAD SIZE

Toronto, Ont, Aug. ga. PD-
You cant judge Il mans brain by
the size of his head. This is the
conclusion of Prof r. Wingate
Todd, Of Western Reserve Medical
School, Cleveland, who has made q
study Of cranial capacity. He re-
ported. his researches to the an
thropology section of the British
Association today. and explained
that four types of male white crania
have been recognized upon a basis
of relation of capacity TO linear
dimensions. "Unfortunately t hey
only individuals whose cranal ca
pacity can be completely studied are
those social ineffectives who have
so completely failed in life that they
are ultimately found in the dissect-
ing rooms" Prof. Todd said. "Thc
proportion of representatives from
the four types varies from year to
year, and thus the average cranial
capacity varies also.
ain periods of depression, as from
1919 to 1921, the dissecting room
population is swelled up by the ad
dition Of large Drained men with
well-filled crania,' the speaker ex-
planned. ain years of prosperity, like
1918, the big g-brained people do not
appear, but the dissecting room pop
ulation is composed Of smaller folk
with ill-fillcd crania."
The amount of brain contained in
any Uranium influences contours
more than linear dimensions. Thus
the shape of mans head would
appear more accurate index of his
intellectual capacity than its size.

BANKSSL0WT TO

Creditors of many closed banks in

exercised over the loss of money in
problems of the office of l.. K
Baird, general receiver of closed
banks, in liquidating the bank af-
fairs, is to induce depositors and
others to file claims.
There are two or three banks ut

depositors and other cred orS
have failed to file their claims
Baird, but the depositors and other
creditors have failed to file their
claims to enable his office to make
an equitable division of the funds
If, after considerable period, the
claims are not filed, the money, it is
expected, will be paid to those who
do file them. Second notices now
are being dispatched to creditors, at
considerable expense, in order to
induce them to make their claims
according to Mr.. Baird.
There is every likelihood that
much money will be collected into
the funds for the various closed
banks in the state this fall, and de
positors relieved TO some extent
through dividends, according to the
general receiver. Many of these
closed banks own real estate which
is being cropped and in which the
bank has an interest. Sales of grain
and other produce from such lands
will go into the funds to pay de-
positors. Other Indebtedness will
be liqudated to considerable extent

ceiver expects.
No attempt is being made gener-
ally to force collection of none!

time, according to the general re-
ceiver. Activity in this line will in
crease when the crops are harvested
making it possible to collect money
for the benefit of depositors.

IMPORTANCE
OF PSYCHOLOGY
Canada and America Offer
More Opportunities Than
Great Britain
TO RESEARCH WORKERS

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 8.-Psychology
is rapidly becoming recognized
both as an important science and
a dominant factor in all phases OF
modern life, according to William
McDougall, professor of psychology
at Harvard University, who deliver
ed an address as the president of
the special section in psychology at
the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science today. AL
though progress in Great Britain
has been slow" he said. "in Canada
and America many opportunities are
offered both for teachers and re-
search workers.
"The greatest need at the present
time is the courage to take wider
view of the meaning of science. If
the psychologist finds that charac-
ter, will, desire. purpose and the
like are quantities which can be
stuGied, he must make his science
conform to these facts and not
abandon them because they are not
recognized in physics or chemistry"
Prof. McDougall appealed for full
er recognition of "purposive striv-
irg," not only because without it,
the problems of personal develop
ment, social life, and industrial or
ganization, can never be given a
distinct or adequate explanation.

said, "from birth to death is one

HOW TO LOWER TAXATION

Increasing taxation following bar
the rising cost of govern
ment is causing alarm in every state
of the union. 1t is a peculiar fact
that despite repeated warnings, the
people are still crashing at the shad-
ow and missing entirely the struggle
with the substance
The people of this community and
hundreds of like communities will
be better off if they take their eyes
off the millions squandered by the
national government in time of war.
If we want to cut down the amount
of money each man and woman
actually pay out in taxation, then
the thing for us to do is to look right
at home There is not township or
village in America where the expendi-
lures could nit be materially lessened
without restric ting in any way the
improvements and advantages we
enjoy.
This arrangement is not written
without a full appreciation of the
men who serve. Every man who
serves in an official capacity is de-
serving OF praise rather than blame
At the same time the people must
consider local government from the
angle of the results obtained rather
than from the angle of service rem.
dared. If we bring our local expend-
itures down to the minimum, the
cost to US of state and national gov.
ernment, though perhaps excessive
will appear light as the proverbiaI
feather.-Creede Candle.

RELIC OF THE OLD DAYS
The Gunnison Empire.

The sons of E. S. Greear of the
Handy Kitchen, while digging behind
the store on the Fourth, uncovered an
old Colts six shooter. 1t is said by
several of the old timers that the gun
belonged to Jack Watson, an early
day character. who buried it there
while under the influence of liquor.
He had been persuaded to refrain
from shooting up the town and when
he was sober, he wondered where he
put his gun, but never could find it.
1t is quite relic and reminder of
the wild and wooly days that used to
be. The gun is on display in the win
dow of the Handy Kitchen. Mr.. Wat
son was killed in Utah several years
ago.
The artillery in question seems to
antedate Jack Watson. This editor
knew Jack very we'll and has often
seen his guns. He did not indulge in
the antiquated cap and ball style.
His revolvers were heavy, short bar
relied and absolutely modern. This
relic seems to have been one from a
much older period. We own a duph-
cate which Major Jonas Rawalt of
Canton, Ills, the grandfather of this
editor, carried through the Mexican,
Blackhawk and Civil wars. There
was no fixed ammunition in those days,
but prepared cartridges followed
mighty early and both bad men and
good ones cottoned to anything for
quick action in artillery.-Ed.

never be missed and then perhaps the
