Brains have not increased In

How do we do It?
The explanation Is that nature

Few scholars use this extra al.

To study to the limit Of normal

He advocated boat planes or even triple motor land planes, averring that planes could limp along on two motors long enough to pick an adjective.

He stated he could not tell whether American planes were antiquated as the Americans flew British ships but he mentioned that the planes flown by the Americans were of an obsolete type that the British fliers
 would not trust.

A large crowd was on hand and interest ran high. On the other diamond, the Rangers and Speed Loys were battling with nothing more at stake than relative posi- tions in the final standings. Natur- ally, the crowd was not interested, and nobody gave the game even a glance.
 There was one spectator. how ever, although he would not have teen obliged to buy a ticket had they been on sale, for he was in uniform. Alone on the Rangers bench, William Pickles May, root ed hopefully. Don't mind that, he could be heard shouting through cupped hands as his infield let balls dribble through. or opposing batters vhaled the offerings of his pitcher to the great open spaces In the out field. And that may be said to sum up Mays character, from the stand point of athletics. Don't mind that means 8 lot to a ball player, Wheth- CT he Is on the Sandlots or in the Yankee Stadium, and "Piclzles' May knows if. He is the fellow who "gcts the games" for the Rangers. and after he fixes up the schedule he goes right out and does everything he can to win.
