A RE members of Congress typical "A American men in their prime? Could their composite physical measure ments be used as a yardstick by which to judge the average, everyday prosper ous American? Are you better man than the average Congressman--mean- ing a better man physically, of course? Is the Congressman brain heavier than that of the average individual and, if go, does that indicate that his mentality is higher?
 These are few of the things which pr. Arthur Macdonald, of Washington, D. C., is trying to find out. He thinks that the Congressmen are fine lot of men. Most of them are well and healthy, above the average in mentality, and are prosperous to boot. Since they are representatives of the people selected by the people themselves from every part of the country, they should, taken as whole, form an excellent standard by which to measure the average Amer ican.
 We have, heretofore, points out Dr. Macdonald, compiled figures on the 4,000,0O0 soldiers of the United States during the World War, but they were young fellows. We have never had any available figures on men in their prime. nor has any other country of the world, for that matter, compiled anthropo- logical and physiological data on such q representative body of it's citizens.
 Dr. Macdonald is chiefly interested in the head measurements of Congressmen how long are their heads, how broad are their heads and how high are their heads? Incidentally, length of head, from the anthropologist's standpoint, means the measurement from the fore head in a straight line through the skull to the farthest point on the back of the head.
 When he gets these measurements, he can tell each Congressman approxi- mately how much his brain weighs, but he emphasizes the fact the approximate weight will give no indication of how much mind he has-at least according to present-day knowledge, the relation- ship between the size of the brain, or the capacity of the skull, and the ca- pacity of the mind of man is a moot question, The elephant, for instance, has five times as much brain as man, but we don't give him credit for doing much thinking.
 WHEN all the measurements have W been taken and tabulated, Dr. Mac Donald hopes to be able to draw some conclusions concerning the relationship between the two.
 A number of Washington physicians have promised their support to Dr. Mac Donald's project. Some prominent medi- cal men have consented to give the Con- gressmen complete physical examina- tions free of charge. When the average individual pays a prominent diagnosti- clan some enormous sum to listen to his heart tick and his lungs wheeze and to jab light in his eyesockets to ex- anime his sinuses, all he hears about himself is a few muttered figures to painfully efficient stenographer and series of grunts from the physician.
 But complete reports on all these items concerning the congressional sub- iects will be turned over to Dr. Mac Donald for study in order that he may

be in a position to de- duce some results from the composite figures.
 When the ordinary physician gets through with the Congressman, the nerve specialist takes him over, and finds out what makes him jumpy at times and what kind of inhibitions and obsessions he is suffering from.
 Of course, it is up to the Congressman to say whether all his physical and mental secrets are going to be probed and put down on paper for the sake of the future of the sci encc of anthropoIogy. Names are to be kept dead secrets, and no

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June To-
Baseball fans of Kansas City get a
rare treat over the weekend. Two
double headers will be played by In
dams and Blues out at Muehlebach
Field, one bargain bill this afternoon
and another Sunday.
Cold weather prevented the teams
meeting in the series opener Friday

forced to work overtime. The Sun
day double bill is a regularly
scheduled bargain. The Indians
must make fast departure Sunday
evening in order to reach Mil
waukee to open a series with the
Brewers Monday.
When the Tribesmen were here in
April cold weather forced a post
ponenlent of one of the battles and
Friday similar conditions prevailed.
Therefore, with two games hanging
over. Acting Manager Sticking of
the Hoosiers and Manager Abbott of
the Blues decided to double up to-
day.
Shortstop Maurice Shannon. OBJ
tanned from the Chicago Cubs along
with Outfielder Munson in the zeal
that sent Stephenson and Schneider
to the majors, reported to Acting
Manager Sticking late Friday. He
came in unannounced after being a
hold-out.
Shannon is supposed to be under
suspension and Sticking must await
word from Owner Smith Of the In
dams before placing the shortstop
on the Tribe eligible list. The play
er also Is out of practice and will
need some work before he's ready.
