 Although six of the 15 days were stormy" he said, mot trip-not a single mile-was defaulted. West bound our planes left New York on time. arriving in San Francisco on the evening of the second day. For five days arrivals were made ahead of time. Eastbound, seven trips were made from the west coast to New York on time.

Science

How can science hold, as it does,
that looking at the size and shape Of
mans skull gives little or no hint
of his brain-power, and in the next
breath find an accurate index to such
power in the size and shape Of his
legs? Why should long legs mean
brains?
However, this is exactly the hurdle
science must leap If further tests bear
out the result of an examination of
more than 800 Columbia students by
DR.. Sante Naccarati, we'll known New
York nerve specialist. These tests
Showed that rs per cent of the small.
bodied, long-legged men, 40 per cent
of the normal medium type, and Is
per cent of the large bodied short
legged men showed high intelligence.
Checking over well-Known great men
curiously confirms this. The most
tenable explanation is not that the
long legs cause the higher inteln-
gence, but that both result from the
same cause, marked activity Of the
thyroid glands An Italian scientist,
Viola, holds, however, that the long
legged, short-bodied type has ad-
canced further in the scale of
evolution.

HAS MIND
OF HIS OWN
Coolidge Upsets Plans Of Pol
itiCianS in Naming Con-
vention officials.
By LOWELL MELLETT

Eva ASHINGTON, May 6.-Presi-
WI dent Coolidge seems bound to
G upset the calculations Of the
politicians in his party in every way
possible, so far as the coming C1eve-
dand convention is concerned. The
agreement on Senator James w.
Wadsworth Of New York for perma-
nent chairman, intimated by national
designate Butler, is the
latest upset
For months the politicians have
been discussing names of possible per
sons for permanent chairman, temper
airy chairman and nominating speaker,
They have tried all sorts of combina-
tons, geographical and spiritual If
this honor went to the East, then that
honor must go to the West If a con-
sentative should be selected to do this,
then a progressive must be selected to
DO that. Above. everything else. the
progressives must be kept in the pic.
ture. 1t was only a question of what
progressives to select and which hon
ors to bestow upon them-in the
minds of the politicians.
Safe and Sane
But President Coolidge seems to
have been unaware of all their plan
ming and mental maneuvering. For
temporary chairman, that tried and
true regular, that safe and sane ex-
Senator, Congressman Theodore Bur
ton of Ohio. For permanent chair
man, that ditto present Senator, Wads-
worth of New York For national
chairman. William NJ. Butler of Mas
sacbusetts.
1t only requires the nariing of
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge or Sena-
tor Jim Watson as the nominating
speaker to make the picture complete.
disgrunled party strategists are now
saying. They've stopped trying to fit
Senator Borah into the puzzle. They
scarcely hope to see him selected to
make the speech presenting CooIdge's
name to the convention.
Aggressive Conservative
Wadsworth is rated an active and
able member of the Senate. which
body he entered ten years ago at the
age Of 81. He is an aggressive con-
servative, partly, no doubt. due to
his environment. Inheritance made
him one Of the wealthiest members
Of the upper house and he has been
called the biggest landlord of them
all, owing to his enormous estates in
the Genesee valley of New York
Based on past performances in the
Senate, the speech of the permanent
chairman at Cleveland will be a vigor-
Gus, uncompromising defense of con-
servatism. 1t is unlikely to offer much
comfort to those progressives still en-
deavoring to hold place in the coun-
ellis Of the party.

Jules Massenet is one Of the most
popular of living French composers.
He was once so poor he had to earn
the money for his music lessons by
playing the kettle-drums in a cafe. He
defied his instructors, when they said
that he had no musical ability. by
finally capturing the Prix de Rome
He fought in the Franco-Prussian war
Students of music are interested to
know just how long Massenet's music
will last, as the critics differ greatly
on his works.

The result is simply two-fold pro-
duction or generation from one pres
sure development. Retold plainly,
the mercury is boiled its vapor ere

duces more power.
The great economy is due to saving
in coal fuel, two pounds of pressure
