SMALL HATS OFTEN
COVER LARGE BRAINS
YOU DON'T NEED A BIG HEAD
TO BE BRAINY.. SIZES WORN
BY SOME FAMOUS MEN.

A few weeks ago brilliant woman
died in Washington. When her attor-
neys opened her will they found she
had left her brain to Cornell Univer-
sity for study. Mrs. Helen Hamilton
, Gardener, famous as a writer, and the
only woman United States civil SER
vice commissioner, made this strange
bequest in the hope OF throwing light
on the age-old question: Are women
as smart as men?
In death she proved at least that
the brain of one exceptional woman
is as big as that of one exceptional
man, for her brain was found to
weigh 1850 grams-exactly the same
as that of DIR. Burt G. Wilder, distin-
guished scientist, who for many years
was member of the Cornell faculty
Will further study of Mrs. Garde-
ner's brain help establish the truth of
the old belief that all great thinkers
have big brains, and that mans
mental capacity may be judged BY
the size of the hat he wears?
Probably not, says Popular Science
Monthly. Informal scientists now
agree with the saying OF Oliver Wen
dell Holmes that "You can't tell by
looking at mans head what kind of
a mind is inside OF it, any more than
you can tell by looking at safe how
much money it contains" SO, if your
hat size is small, remember that a
large head may mean large cranial
capacity, but not necessarily a large
or we'll developed brain And remem-
Der, too, that great mems heads, on
the average, are no larger than those
OF the rest of as.
Craniuns of Famous Men.
The average American wears a IA
hat. How does that compare with the
sizes of his fellow citizens who have
achieved fame? Very we'll, indeed.
Take, for example, men who have
been elected to the presidency. James
A. Garfield wore IA, but that did not
make him a greater president than
Abraham Lincoln, who wore size rs. |
William H. Taft, an all-round big
man, wears size 75s; Grover Cleve-
land and Benjamin Harrison wore size
TX, and Theodore Roosevelt and
Warren G. Harding wore sail well |,
above the average. Yet, Woodrow I
Wilson and u. S. Grant both wore
the average IA, while President Cool
idge wears size rs, slightly below the
national standard. Elihu Root, per-
haps the most brilliant American
statesman of his time, wear rs.
The same variation is noticeable in
the hat sizes of the famous and sue
cessful in other fields of endeavor.
John L. Sullivan, mighty man of his
hands, wore rs hat. James ]. JEFF
fries, almost as famous a ringman Of
his day, wears size 73S. Christy Math-
ewson, who was baseball's most ia
nous pitcher, wore size rs.
Chauncey M. Depew, who has
brains enough to have lived well over
90 years and to have enjoyed them all,
also wears a rs hat. Robert G. In
gersoll, one of the greatest of orators,
wore size ~, but so does Harry K.
Thaw.
1t is probable that the wide varia-
tons in mems mental powers is caus
ed by varying qualities of brain rath
er than by differences in the size OF
brains The Cornell scientists who ex-
amined Mrs. Gardeners brain found
it to be not only as large, but as we'll
formed as the brain of Doctor Wilder

IN MEMORIAM

Of Mrs L. l. Arnold, nee Miss
Texas Whaley, the last of the once
large family of the late w. d. Wha-
ley of Randolph county.
After the course of life is run;
After its work has all been done;
After the hands are on the breast
Cometh the long and peaceful rest.
IT'S only fitting that we should
pause to pay tender, loving tribute to
Aunt Tet" whose passing away on
November 10, 1925, was as peaceful
as had been her life. Yet words are
inadequate to estimate her worth and
the many Christian virtues so beauti-
fully blended in her life can not be
enumerated. Modest, retiring, unas.
Stunning yet courageous and unwaver
ing toward the principles of truth and
honor she moved with equal grace
among all people shedding fragrance
of sweetest aroma over her pathway.
In early girlhood she found that
peace which comes to the child OF
God who trusts in His grace, and this
early found faith soothed and sus-
tanned her in later years when little
past the zenith of womanhood she
was stricken blind. With eyes closed
forever to the beauties about her she
bowed in humble submission to the
will OF Him who giveth and taketh
away took up her cross of sore at
Fiction and bore it bravely to the last.
She lived and loved in her little
world now narrowed to the fiiresides
of her precious children, few close
relatives and friends How often her
heart yearned for the sight of those
SO dear to her, but no murmur or
complaint fell from her lips. Thank
God for her life so quiet and simple,
yet so exemplary, and for those who
so beautifully ministered to her needs.
ooh, how sweet it will be in that
beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain!
With song on our lips and with harps
in our hand
To meet one another again.

On us as in days OF yore,
And to feel her dear arms twining
Fondly round us as before.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB BACKS
BALL TEANFOR
THE SEASON

Through the efforts of the Com
mercial club the Meteor City base
ball club was staked to fund of
$500 with which to purchase neces-
sary paraphernalia, including suits,
balls, bats and everything needed
to be completely equipped for the
seasons play. A committee rep
resenting the ball club appeared be-
fore the Commercial club Wednes-
day evening.
A subscription paper was start
ed by Captain Hitchcock at the
roundhouse yesterday afternoon.
Pledges of more than one dollar
were prohibited, 1t is expected
that about $125 or $3.50 will be
raised by this manner for inciden-
tai emergency expenses. The bus7,s
mess houses will not be solicited,& 4
nor allowed to give, other than the
backing the Commercial club gave.
The ball squad engages in active
practice every evening at the ball
park. The squad numbers between
twelve and eighteen, all snappy
players. Lloyd Parks and Chas.
Hitchcock, both veteran players,
will play the mound position for
Winslow, but the sitting out proc
ess has not proceeded far enough
yet to determine who will play the
other positions.
Some work has been done on the
field to put it in better shape than
it has ever been before for fast
playing, but a lot still needs to be
done. AS soon as permanent or
ganization is effected, which will
probably be done this evening, at
a meeting to be held in the city
hall. Al Kleindienst will probably
take the management of the club,
and Bruce Matthie has consented
to act as secretary and treasurer.
Hitchcock will be team captain.
A team composed of Indians en-
ployed at the round house and
shop has been engaged in practice
on the diamond in the west end of
town, and practice game or two
will be scheduled soon between the
two teams. There is some talk of
organizing city league, composed
of four or six teams made up of
clerks, men from the superinten-
dents office, high school, and pos
sibly girls team. There is some
agitation for an indoor ball league,
in which regulation indoor ball will
be played on the outdoor field. A
number of players in Winslow are
experienced in this form of the
game, which permits men who are
unused to the extreme exertion of
regular ball to participate.

CHECKING
ONDEFUNCT BANK
Copyright, W. N. W

Claim blanks from depositors
in the defunct Bank of Winslow
have all been filed, and Judge J. E.
Crosby, Judge of the superior court
J. S. Dodson, receiver, and Mrs.
Stanley Pincetl, secretary, have
begun the work of checking. Over
$500 blanks were filed with the
receiver, each of which must be
compared by each of the three in
spectors and checked against the
original records. The work is ex-
ceedingly tediousxsnd not more
than about so day can be check
ed.
Mr. Dodson states that $160,O00
has been paid on the bills receiv-
able against the bank; $4,000 paid
to the war finance board during the
last few few weeks. Since the
close of the old bank on October
8, the expense of operating, which
includes all salaries, extra help,
and bills of every kind, has been
less than $4,000. All building be-
longing to the defunct bank have
been rented and are bringing in
$500 per month, which goes to the
credit of depositors.
Over $1,000 has been collected on
interest, which has also been turn
ed over to the depositors' fund.
The bank is interested in $4,000
head of cattle and $4,000 head of
sheep, which outfits are being op-
Grated at no expense to depositors,
but, owing to the state of the stock
market, at no great gain.
Mr.. Dodson and his staff are
working day and night to check up
on the claim blanks, and exerting
every energy to conserve the as
sets for the benefits of the depos-
itOrS.
