In New Britain, there is har lily . sport that isn't being supported and we don't mean only with re- gard to the box office. Anyone who attends any kind of a sport in this city will always find that New Bri- tain teams get moral support in every sense of the word. When a New Britain team Is engaged against another. every fight between players 10 the fans fight.
 One thing that marks the New Britain sport fan. however. Is his or her fairness towards opponents In the heat of the battle. they might seek the enemy's blood. but in cool er moments. all due credit is given a worthy foe.

September /, l792.--A contract wss
made today for the construction OF
canal to join the tidewaters OF James
Creek and Tiber Creek within the Fed
or3l CITY. The distance is one and one
eiai1th miles. The cut Is TO be 10 1eet
vide and IL feet deep This Is IN ac-
cordance with the plan for city canal
as deIineated on the map Of the city
t.xawn by Mai Pierre Charles LEnfant.
For some time there has been an
agitation among the citizens OF George
town and the new Federal City To I'M
prove water transportation both IN the
Potomac River and the Eastern Branch
and to begin building the proposed city
canal.
Rock Greek forms broad opening
that begins at the base OF the rioge
west of the creek, along which M street
passes, and extends as far west as
Thirty-second street. In consequence
the line of K street on the west SIDE
passes entirely through water. cause
way being necessary to make a bridge
available at that point. The ground
north and south is being drained ana
made available for the construction OF
buildings
The scheme is expected to be of just
as much advantage to the owners of
adjacent land as to the public OF
GEORGETOWN and the Federal City. The
plan is to defrsy the expense by the
sale of the land thus reclaimed. but. the
sale not being successful. the City
Commissioners have advanced the
money.
Furthermore the plan for building
the arches of the stone bridge over
Rock Creek proved defective The
bridge fell down and the city authorities
have had to suffer that additional loss.
AS If this train of disasters was not
enough for them to bear the Commits
sioners have been made the target OF
tart criticism by residents Of the east
ern part of the Capital City, who claim
that favoritism Is being shown toward
the section nearest Georgetown.
Another project under consideration
is to continue the canal Of the Potomac
Company from Little Fails into George
town and thence into the Federal City
10 connect with the proposed city
canal.
It seems that the trouble which the
Commissioners have had with the stone
bridge across Rock Greek Is to be laid
10 the door Of Leonard Harbaugh of
Baltimore, who had the contract for its
construction and whose plans were i'm
perfect.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By JOSEPH JASTRCW.

If man is one-ffth taller than the
average. he is a giant. Giants IN m
tellect would tower above ordinary men
like telegraph poles. -.
So far as We can measure inteil-
renre we find no breaks IN the SET
and nothing tangible to support tne
view that one man is so much more
intelligent than another.
If We are satisfied with so rough
division as an average group, a below
par or inferior group, much-o2loW-
par group (including the feebie-mnld-
ed. an above-par or superior group,
and q group much above par tlnciad-
ing cenjuses we won't be far out Ii
we say that so in 100 are average 80
slightly above. so slightly below the
actual mean average), 10 or II superior
and the same number inferior, and
three or four in the defective, and as
many in the highly talented class.
Though this is all speculation. II Is
speculation with some basis Of findings,
and the upsnot is about this: II
you agree that the average Of human
Intelligence is too low TO do n1uch
With it in the way of appealing 70 i TO
improve mental fitness. than at best
one man in five is really intelligent IN
this restricted. rather exclusive sense
Some may call this view IN aTisto-
cratic and others cynical view Of
homo sapiens. or to repeat Jest both
cynical and slangv. that the creature
might better be called homo sap.
I see no reason why tbs situation
should not be faced frankly and calm
ly. II one in five humans is really IN
telligent, that is leaven enough for the
whole mass. It is presumably true that
men intelligent enough to consider the
matter. and BRAIN workers especially.
are inclined TO overestimate the aver
age intelligence.
The machinery for running the world
must be made as nearly foolproof as
possible. and we must assume very little
as common knowledge even in democ-
racy with compulsory education. There
is little to be done about 1t except TO
accept the fact We can't improve the
brain material perceptibly, The extent
to which stimulation will make capac-
ity efficient has not yet been realized.
The whole situation was recently
brought home To me by the remark
Of a physician of large State prison.
He commented on the low mentality
OF the prisoners. yet regarded them as
fair sample Of the average outside
prison walls He said IF ! find one
intelligent enough to read popular
magazine ! call him brother" Such
is the brotherhood Of homo sapiens.

Reply.


The initials H S. recall that in the
order If creation man is labeled homo
sapiens, man the intelligent Perhaps,
that's also paying himself compli-
r9ent. The biz idea back Of this some
what despsiring view of human cspac-
fly is presumably sound.
The difficulty is that We can't meas
ure intelligence in the same way In
wfici1 we can measure other perform
ences. II one man can swim twice as
fast as another or lay twice as many
bricks per hour or type twice As many
words in minute, it is an enormous
difference. But some men must have
not twice but 20 times the intelligence
Of others, if what they accomplish Is
env measure of the difference.
At best it's glesswork or rough eSti-
mate. but the range of human intelli-
gence Is a pretty wide one. and ciyili-
zaticn makes even small differences
count
II you ask the 2natomist he'll tell
you that the most distinctive part Of
man is this vastly oyergrown mass at
the top Of the nervous system that
we call his brain, snd mainly the big

has hugely expanded. 1t varies con-
kiderably within the species and thus
makes ii possible that, though all men
are intelligent. some may be not a
little but vastly more so than others.
