Jol1nson's Style Cramped

tPuDliC Ledger, Ind. Rep.D
Hiram Johnson was not born to
move with caution and speak softly.
His style is cramped. AS COM
promiser. a good two-handed fighter
is being wasted.
The Californian guessed wrong.
but not so far wrong in 1912 He
save proSressiviGn q trial then and
later. but he found himself getting
nowhere on the road to his great
ambitions. This time he is making
another guess and trying new
tactics. Walking down the middle
of the road. he is looking hopefully
both ways from the middle. The
natural consequence has been that
thus far lie has walked, 80 far as
old friends and ancient enemies are
concerned, well nigh alone. ;.
1t does appear on the eve of 1924
that Hiram Johnson has made an
other poor guess. True. more than
six months stretch between now and
June 10 and the rol!call at Cleveland.
Much may. and will, happen in that
time. The fair course now being
sailed by President Coolidge toward
Cleveland may be storm darkened
Lefore that June day. There is a
Congress- in Washington fit to break
the heart OF any Executive. A thou
sand pitfalls and deadfalls are in the
way of Coolidge. The testing about
to begin may stamp the President
as unavailable. His misfortunes may
prove the Johnson opportunity or
that of some other aspirant.
Even ..e debacle of Coolidge
hopes. however, would hardly mean
victory for the Californian. He has
lost his old touch and glamour. AS
a compromiser he has compromised
himself. Between the two stools of
progrcssivism and conservatism. the
son of the Far Sierras bids fair to
take 6 seat on the floor

where it wanted TO. you see. and
when 1t landed he wouldn't know

One morning upon landing on a
beautiful island. just off the coast
of Italy. he saw a man driving a
wonderfully painted cart. Pictures
like oil paintings were painted on the
boards. On one side. Venus, (Which

Why, this wonderful cart looked
like a rainbow on wheels. The

BRAIN GROWTH AND DEMAND

Whoever would have thought or
attributins swelled head to hard
times and the consequent increased
demand on the brain to meet the de-
mands Of living conditions? Yet this
Is what the scientists are now telling
us and because one is compelled to
get larger size of hat Is no occasion
longer to accuse him of conceit.
Here are some Of the facts which
have been demonstrated in a dissect-
ing room in the city Of Cleveland as
reported by DIR. Wingate Todd:
Upon the basis of recognized pub
lished work let us agree that a vol
ume OF 1850 cubic centimetres repre-
sents the dawn of male white intelli-
gence. that 1880 to 1900 cubic cent?
metres gives "a fairly accurate value
for moderate intelligence. Now let
us note the average brain volume Of
the white males of cur diSSectinS
room population. From 1913 to 1917
inclusive II centres On 400 cubic
Centimetrps. ON the average then it
required more than 1900 cubic cent?
metres brain volume to make good in
Cleveland during those years. There
was an unprecedented prosperity in
1915 and our average diSsectinG room
brain volume sank to 1880 cubic cen
timctres. Thus all except the veriest
fools could make n living during that
year. Then came the armiStiCe and
the natural depression of 1919 re-
fected in our population by an aver
ago rising to 1440 cubic centimctrcs.
Conditions in 1920 were better and
down goes the average to 400 cubic
centimetres once again. The city was
almost throttled by industrial dis
tress in 1921 and the average rose to
1870 cubic Centimetros almost to the
level Of moderate intelligence. For
tunately i'm 1922 circumstances inn
proved and the average brain volume
again dwindlcd but not to the pre-
war level"
Another scientist asserts that only
by the use OF one hand more than
another has 1t been possible to bring
about the development of the brain
to the extent that has been done. It
may he inferred that use of the hands
in work does not operate disadvan-
tageously to the brain. on the con-
trary is OF aid. This may encourge
hand workers If 1t not other folks.
