A MURDERER'S MIND

Scientists have been bidding for the brain of Russell
Scott financial wizard honored by the world
latterly crook and murderer, suicide They want
to examine it and what it tells to explain the mys
teries of Scotts strange personality and career.
1t may tell them something, but probably not There
will be plenty of convolutions doubt showing an
extensive cerebral corteX, rich in the cells associated
with thinking power. 1t must be a complex brain,
matching the complex character of its possessor But
key to moral character brain seldom reveals
much 1t might, if man knew how to read it but the
brain, most wonderful organ in the body is little
known as yet. SCOTS face might tell more. The in
tuitive perception of natural student Of character
might tell more.
We forget sometimes that brain is thing and
and mind another. Brain is merely the instrument of
mind. There must be rough arallelism-certain
parts of the brain corresponding to certain faculties
of mind. But even that is not clear.
1t is inconcevable that brain should operate without
mind to direct it. Materiasts question whether there
is any mind apart from matter capable of thinking and
acting without brain. Most of US believe there is.
But doctors and laboratory psychologists cannot tell
much about that by dssecting the bran-ther scapes
and microscopes tell them nothing.
Shakespeare, who dssected minds, would have un-
derstood Scott.

ALLEN PRAISES
MAGNITUDE OF
DAM PROJECT

cit is a tremendous project and
worthy the support of all, - was the
comment yesterday of Congressman
John {. Allen of the fourteenth Ill
inOis district, when asked to make
a statement with reference to the
Boulder Canyon plan for developing
the Colorado river.
The congressman, who is a mem
Der of the committee on irrigation
and reclamation, visited the dam
site early last week, and later came
to Imperial Valley to make a tour
OF the Imperial Irrigation district
system.
"lt is absolutely impossible to
visualize the extent of the project
without trip to the proposed dam
sitc,' said the congressman. "Mrs.
Allen was here two weeks ago, and
on her return home she told me of
what she had seen out here. /
thought she had just been swept off
her feet by the thrill of the West,
but | find that she didn't do the
subject justice. 1t will take time,
but the Swing johnson bill will win
out in the end. The proposition is
too big to fail.
"Last session friends of the bill
were unfortunate in that it was not
brought on the floor until near the
close of the session. AS it was the
short term, it added much to the
difficulties every bill experiences
before it is passed. But we hope for
better luck at the coming session. "
Congressman Allen paid high
tribute to Phil Swing, whom he de-
clared is one Of the hardest working
congressman in the entire house, and
astonishcs his colleagues by his abil-
ity to stick close to the job at all
times.
The congressman left here yester
day afternoon for San Diego, escort
ed by Al Kellogg Of the irrigation
district.

THE FOOLISH OWL

An entertaining bird story from Ft. William,
on Lake Superior mallard duck swimming on
the lake. along toward evening and big owl was sit
ting the shore watching it. Suddenly some hunt
ers came along in an automobile. The car scared the
duck, and and flew off, just above the surface
of the water.
The owl, seeing his prey escaping, Immediately
took after the duck and was overhaulng when the
duck made a clever nOse-dive into the water.
Instantly the owl followed And that was where the
owl out of luck 1t could keep afloat but could
pursue the duck take off again from the water
The hunters rowed out and caught it and put it in
a cage. The duck got away.
So owls not wise they are reputed to be.
Any bird that looks as wise as an owl does should
know better than to aight the water without pom
toons. Though to tell the truth, some of our ow-av-
ators don't seem to be any wiser.
