Methods Of combating anti-chair
at the final session of the seventh
annual meeting of the National Chain
Store Grocers' Association of the
United States. The grocers have been
in session at the Willard Hotel since
Tuesday.
Experiences In fighting this sort Of
legislation were given by H. H. Cupp,
president Of the Cupp Grocery Co. Of
Johnstown, Pa; r. H. Hommel, presi-
dent of the Universal Grocery Co.,
Madison, Wis; J. B. Hill, president
Of the Hill Grocery Co., Birmingham,

the Carolina Stores, Inc, Lenoir.
N. G..
The grocers were urged to keep on
the alert to prevent the passage of
legislation against chain stores and
to keep their legislators informed of
the service done by such stores.
Judge Edwin B. Parker, chairman
Of the board Of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States,
stressed the value of self-regulation in
business in an address before the
meeting yesterday. "Self-regulation
alone will preserve Individual effort,
the master builder of American busi-
ness" he said.
Although business has made notable
progress in setting it's house in order.
he said, much is yet to be done. The
increasing complexity of business
necessitates regulation, and that regu-
lation must come from within or from
the Government, he declared.
Lower prices can come only when
complicated methods of conducting
business are cut out, p. II. H. Dunn
of the Department of Commerce said.
He outlined methods by which simpli-
f1cation can reduce prices for the con-
sumner. 1.-THE profits of tomorrow de-
pend largely on the elimination of
the wastes of today" he said.

turer and feminist. that there Is no
Unborn mental inferiority in the female
sex Is upheld by science. Conclusions
from an exhaustive study of her brain,
completed two years after her death,
were published today.
Mrs. Gardener advanced the claim
as an equal-rights.champio and in or
der to substantiate it she bequeathed
her brain to Cornell University for
research. She died in 1925.
"In the structure OF her own brain
Mrs. Gardener has presented abundant
evidence that the brain of woman
need not be inferior to that OF man
of equal rank" said DR.. J.. w. Papez.
curator of the Wilder brain collection
at the University, who conducted the
research.
Only Equaled by Best.
"In its entire organization it reveals
a wealth of cortical substance or gray
matter that is only equaled but not
exceeded by the best brains in the
Cornell collection, which includes
those of a number Of doctors. profess
sors, lawyers and naturalists."
Mrs. Gardeners brain was com.
pared in detail with the brains Of 20
other men and women. Many of the
areas in her brain, particularly those
found to deal chiefly with the func-
tions of vision. learning, language,
thought and expression" We're of UNI
usual development.
In the lower forehead and eyebrow
regions. which have to do with the
higher thought processes, her brain
was compared with that of the in.
ternationally known naturalist. the
late DIR. Burt G. Wilder, through
whose efforts Cornell assembled its
brain collection.
