This number Is one seasons work,

The tame" lightning overcomes the
one greatest diflculty in guarding
against wild" lightning-th lack of
opportunity to study the bolts because
the wild stuff strikes so rarely where 1t

High brows don't necessarily signify
brains.
This conclusion is stressed by DR..
Ales Hrdlicka, curator of physical an
thropology at the National Museum, in
a report just made to the Bureau of
American Ethnology on measurements
of hundreds of Eskimo skulls and other
bones in an effort to determine the
characteristic physical type of people
whose bodies have withstood for hun
dreds of generations the EXTREMIST
rigors Of environment.
If brains" and height Of forehead
were directly related, DR.. Hrdlicka
points out, the Eskimo would be intel
lectually superior to the white man.
But, he continues, "anthropometric
studies have shown repeatedly that the
height of the forehead is not a safe
gauge of intelligence, as commonly
believed. but is controlled by the vari-
able height of the hair line. The COM
mon full-blooded American colored la
borer and servant has slightly higher
forehead than the educated old Amer
lean white"
The height of the brow of the West
ern Eskimo man, his tables show, is
about a quarter of a centimeter higher
than the average for old American
males. The Eskimo woman has exactly
the same skull height as her American
sister. The entire skull of the Eskimo
man, however, is about the same size as
that of the old American man-thiS
term slgnifying whites whose families
have lived in the United States for
several generations and which DR..
Hrdlicka believes are developing into a
distinct racial unit The Eskimo wom-
an, however, has absolutely a bigger
head than the white woman. Her face
is broader than that of the male.
Temporal Lobe BuIges.
A curious difference shown by the
skull examinations is that the region in
front of the top of the ear, just over
the temporal lobe of the brain, often IS
remarkably full in the Eskimo SO that
1t seems to bulge out-and consequently
widens the brow. This probably has a
significance not yet understood, says DR..
Hrdlicka, since little is known of the
functions of the temporal lobe except
for small area where the sense of
hearing is located.
Almost all Eskimo women, Dr. Hrd-
licka found, have broad faces, both
compared with their own men and with
white women, and he believes this is a

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November IA
The investment banking house of Cald-
well a. Co., for years prominently identi-
fed with the financial development of
the South, was in the hands of Fed
eral receiver today.
Lee Douglas, Nashville lawyer, was
appointed receiver last night by Federal
District Judge John j. Gore. The &C.
ton followed the filing of a general
creditors bill against the company by
Fred Dean of Birmingham, Ala, who
said he was a creditor to the extent of
more than $1,000.
In asserting to the appointment of
q receiver, Rogers Caldwell, president Of
the company, said:
Caldwell a. Co. Is unable to pay its
debts as they mature because of the
prevailing financial depression. Some
months ago its assets exceeded its La
bility in the sum Of several million dol
lars, and its assets have not been
wasted"
No estimate was made Of the la
bilities of the company.

slant working of the Jaws, as in chew
ing leather to soften it which is a wom-
ans job among the Arctic people. The
average Eskimo face, he found. is about
IL per cent greater than the average
white face in relation to stature.
Chests Exceptionally Large.
The Eskimo, DR.. Hrdlicka points out,
has an exceptionally large chest, which
apparently has been developed in his
present environment and may have
Helped greatly in survival COMPARED
to the white old Americans" he says.
1.-THE chest is deeper in the males and
broader in the females, Notwithstanding
the fact that the Americans are much
taller. 1t is even larger than in many
Indian tribes. 1t may be aScribed in
the main to the Eskimo's occupations
and eXertions, particularly in connec-
ton with the canoe"
Although the Eskimo's respiration
rate and temperature are close to those
of the whites, DR.. Hrdlicka reports, his
pulse rate is very low and he is con-
siderably below the white average on
dynamometric tests. The pulse seldom
goes above so, while the white average
is more than 20. The dynamometric
tests measuring the grip are considered
of special Importance because they de-
termine not only the strength of the
hand muscles but of the conscious i'm
pulse behind them, originating in the
brain-hence they are often used in
physiological examinations.
While inferior to the white man, the
ESkimos grip compares favorably with
the American Indians. to whom, DR..
Hrdlicka believes, he is fairly close
relative. The brain does not seem to
be tied UP SO well with the hands.
Nose Narrower in North.
DR.. Hrdlicka found that the further
northward the skulls he measured came
from the narrower became the noses,

VALUABLE FACTS
ON ASPARAGUS

A recent bulletin on the economi:
aspects of asparagus, particularly
with reference to acreage and prices,
was recently issued by the Universi-
ty of California and is available at
the farm advisors office at the
court house in Ell Ccntro.
Practically all of the canning as
paragus and about As per cent of the
table asparagus produced in the
United States are grown in Califor-
MIA. Of the total bearing acreage
in this state,9 approximately SO per
cent is in the Delta district. The
Delta district contributes all of the
canning asparagus. and about 90 per
cent of the car-lot shipments of
table asparagus from California.
The other areas in this state produc-
ing table asparagus are in Imperial,
Fresno, Los Angeles, Riverside and
Orange counties.
California table asparagus, as con-
trasted with canning asparagus,
meets with considerable competition
from that grown in other states.

Increase Shown
In Hay Grading

According to Scott L. Toulds, sec
rctary manager Of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau, a marked in
crease in hay grading has b n
shown recently, last weeks reports
stating that out Of IL cars at the
Macy Team tracks, Los Angeles, Is
inspections were made, 13 of the
ears being U. s. No. ] alfalfa.
That the interest in hav grading
rs partly due to the recent break
IN the hay market, is Fould's belief,
who stated that the current price is
lower than appears to be Justified.
The break was caused by the heavy
rains in January, but the benefits
from this rain will shortly cease
unless another storm occurs. Plenty
CT feed was brought up by the first
rain but this will die if the pres.
tnt dry weather continues.
Statistics show, declared Foulds,
that the rainfall in Los Angeles
county to date has been $50 inches
as compared to normal, 9.SS, or even
to the 60 rainfall at this time last
year. Ranchcrs in Northern Cali
fornia are already beginning to wor
rv about the wafer shortage, and
it would seem that in regard to hay
production, the state as whole is
in poorer situation than at the
same time last year.

MONO COUNTY
VIEWS SHOWN
AT LUNCHEON

Rex Foster of Bridgeport. Cali
fornia, representing the Mono coun-
ty board Of supervisors appeared
at the weekly luncheon of the FL
Centro Chamber of Commerce yes
tcrday with three fine reels of pie
lures showing his county, the re-
suit of several years work on the
party of Il moving picture photog
raphcr. AS Il consequence, the mind
of every man and woman who saw
these pictures turned to springtime
thoughts Of fishing, hunting, hiking,
pack training.
Fosters pictures were some of the
finest views ever exhibited in I'm
rerial County. Placid lakes, leaping
trout. snowy mountains, pine for
csts, wilderness trails included. Oc-
cassionaIiy Foster, who has resided
in Mono County about eight years,
told of the attractivcness of h s
home county and of the summers
pleasures TO be found there. 1t made
all of his audience want to hike
out to the Sierras with rod and
camera in hand.
Many Imperial Valley residents
have been in the habit of spending
their summers on Bishop creek or
in Mono County and the exhibition
of these views has influenced many
more to plan to spend their holidays
in the attractive 10000 foot valleys
Of the upper Sierras.
At the luncheon were also II. c.

Competition Strong
California asparagus has up to the
present time met competition by the
production of very high quality
product, carefully packed. and care
fully handled. During 1921 to 1923
the annual average price of table as
paragus was $500 crate at New
York, and 1915 crate at San Fran
cisco. During the past three years
prices have been much lower. aver
aging $4.35 at New York and 1910
at San Francisco. This decline was
largely the result Of the great in
crease in car-lot shipments, not only
from this state, but also from South
Carolina and Georgia. California
growers may expect increasing com
petition from the southern states
during the next few years. Only
in particularly favorable localities,
therefore, are additional paintings
of asparagus, for fresh consumption
alone, likely to be warranted at this
time.
