William T. Stead's knowledge of the
Bible would have put some bishops
to shame, a friend of the great Eng
lish writer declared. He would finish
from memory almost any verse from
the Scripture, the first half Of which
was given to him and the bewildering
names of obscure Scriptural charac-
tiers had literally no terrors for him.
His conversation was fascinating. He
knew everything and he threw an eX-
plosive energy into the talk that was
both captivating and overwhelming.
Stead's genius was overshadowed by
his fanaticisms. He was capable of
almost superhuman feats of writing.

MENTAL POWER OF
SEXES ON EQUALITY
Old Idea of Women's Inferi,
GRITTY Is Disproved.

Ever since Adam exchanged his rib
for a woman. men have been wonder
ing whether he made good bargain,
james Weinland remarks, in Popular
Science Monthly. Many points of Tie
question have led 10 controversy, but
one in particular there Is, and always
has been, surprisingly little diver
gence of opinion; the vast majority
of men are quite certain that women
have mo brains," this despite all the
famous women Of history.
Recently, though, psychology has
got right down to cases and measured
both men and women scientifically
with the same yardstick, and reported
that men and women are just about
equal in intelligence.
Very elaborate intelligence tests
were recently given at Colorado col
lege to 115 men and Ill women. The
average score for both men and wom-
en- was exactly the same-142 points.
A combined study Of the student
bodies Of several western universities
shows that the percentage Of students
getting "A" and "B" grades In their
studies through long period was for
men 1854, and for women 1872. In
joint psychological test Of men stu
dents Of Harvard university and wom-
EN- students Of Radcliffe college few
months ago, q man and girl tied for
first place, while for the men the av-
erage score was sos and for the WON.
en- So,
There rarely appears any appreci.
able difference between male and fe.
male students, taking them all the
way from kindergarten through college.
Neither will you find any considerable
difference in the quality of the output
Of men and women performing tasks
that lie within the capabilities Of each
1t Is only recently that women dis
covered certain positions as possible
careers. The United States bureau Of
census reports, for example. that the
number of women chemists and metal
lurglsts has more than trebled In ten
years. In the same time the number
Of women college presidents and pro-
ressors has increased from less than
three thousand to more than ten thou
sand. With about eighteen hundred
women lawyers and judges, we now
have three times as many as there
were decade ago. We find more than
four thousand women bank officials, al
most as many women officials in man
ufacturing and similar enterprises :;
women doctors, dentists, and clergy
men in legion. There are even more
than one thousand women who earn
their living as chauffeurs.
Do not these figures indicate that
the past found women "ineffective" In
these fields merely because their
training and opportunity had not d.
rected their interest to them?

wouldn't like to be called babies and
when. too they weren't babies any
longer.
"They made up their minds they
would not be cruel to any Of their
species-they wouldn't say things to
hurt others feelings.
"For that, the Old Year said, is be-
ing cruel, too.
"They agreed never to be unkind to
animals, to make fun Of another's
clothes, never to make older people
feel they were a nuisance and much
too old, anyway.
"They promised each other they

Old Year. as I've told you. told me
that they did.
"While look around me I'm hoping
that there will be others who will
make that same resolution and that
will have the Joy. too, Of seeing It
kept.
For the Old Year said there was
nothing SO dreadful as cruelty. Cruelty
by word or deed he said. was just
too dreadful!

Left Ear Is keerer

Left ears are becoming more eff
cient than those on the right side of
the head, according to professor OF
the Yale Medical school. He attrib-
utes this to the fact that Americans
use the left ear almost exclusively
for hearing over telephone receivers.
Although both ears are Of equal size,
constant use of the left ear in tele-
phoning has made it more efficient
than the right one.

BACKING B|-PARTy
POLITICAL SYSTEM
Non-Partisan Movement by
Civic Federation to Stimu-.
late Citizenship Education.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ky the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 16-A move
ment intended to stimulate partici-
patton in party politics by all Ameri-
can citizens was announced yesterday
by the National Civic Federation.
That body has formed a non-par-
tisan department on political educa-
ton, supported by prominent leaders
of the Democratic and Republican
parties, with Elihu Root as honorary
chairman and Alton b. Parker as
active chairman.
Its effort will be to perpetuate the
two-party political system and to en-
, courage all citizens to take a more
active part in either of those two
parties. A national conference for
discussion of the subject is planned.
Purpose Explained.
The announced purpose of the de-
partment on political educatio will
be to aid in checking the growing
Indifference of our citizens to the
value and necessity of party govern
ment." The announcement. states that
3O.O00,000 qualified American voters
did not vote in the 1924 general cleo
ton. and suggests that this indiffer-
ence may destroy party government
in the United States, result in the
substitution of the group" or many

imperil the American system of gov
ernment
The National Civic Federation has
received letters from leaders of both
Republican and Democratic parties
praising the movement.
Among those who expressed their
support are John w. Davis. Demo
