Mental Growth Held Separate.
There is practically no relation be-
tween measurable physical characters
and mentality, according to the report
of recent investigations the world over
submitted by Prof. Donald @. Patter-
son OF the University of Minnesota.
This extends to such things as body
size, weight, height, rate of growth.
Even when We enter the realm Of
physical defect" he says, the evidence
suggests the existence of only slight
correlationS. It would seem as Though
nature has safeguarded the develop
ment Of the central nervous system to
such an extent that normal mental
development may proceed even though
the individuals involved may be Suf-
fering from a variety of physical de-
fects and such conditions as malnu-
triton, diseased tonsiIs and adenoids,
and minor glandular disorders. One
might legitimately emphasize the gen.
eral finding not only that physical
traits and intelligence are almost COM
pletely independent variables. but that
physical growth and development is
highly specialized"

Argentina Goes on Trial

As O consequence of political events
in the progressive Southern republic,
Argentine. American relations have i'm
proved considerably in the last few
months.
President Irigoyen was noted for his
aloofness and lack of sympathy for for
eign countries In general and the United
States in particular. He refused to send
an Ambassador to Washington, and
likewise failed to send delegates to all
the pan-American conferences which
gathered in the American Capital dur
ing his government. He wss emphatic
in his denunciation of American eco
nomic and tariff policies and very little
interested In encouraging that mutual
knowledge and that good will essential
in the promotion Of international rela-
lions.
When the Irigoyen regime was over
thrown by q popular armed uprising
last Fall one of the f1rst acts OF the
new administration was to declare its
purpose Of cultivating friendly rela-
tons with the United States, and the
first appointment signed by the new
chief executive. Gen. Uriburu, was that
of Senior Manuel Malbran as Ambas-
sador to washington. This act and the
sympathetic attitude which the Buenos
Aires government has since shown
toward Uncle Sam have, In few
months, brought Argentina and the
United States closer than they ever
were before.
Ambassador Here Before.
Ambassador Malbran, one q the
most distinguished Argentine diplomats,
noted lawyer, writer and public
speaker and a fine gentleman, should
be given credit for this happy turn in
ago he lived in this country long
enough to know its people and to I'M
derstand their different psychology.
He was, therefore especially quail
fled to deal with them and to conciliate
own people, thus bringing about that
basis OF all diplomatic endeayors Since
he came to this country he has been
informing American public opinion of
political and economic conditions in
Argentina. Lecturing, writing, talking
to the gentlemen of the press" he has
been careful in keeping contact with
that public opinion which at the end is
the real maker of government policies
In q democratic community like this.
Ambassador Malbran Is a diplomat
of the twentieth century. He knows
that 1t is no longer through the gov
ernments but through the peoples that
international friendships are made.
And he is assisting considerably in
building up that between two of the
most important republics in the New
World.

good can be done in the world
If one is not too careful who
gets the credit"
2. Said a prominent bust
ness man when I was blue and
discouraged because the first
concern for which I worked
had gone busted:
You are very fortunate to
have had a severe disappoint-
ment while you are still young.
The men to be pitied are those
whose disappointments come
in middle life, when it Is too
late for them to start over
again. A disappointment in
youth is merely part Of the
hardening process that Is
necessary to make you ca
pable of carrying through"
3. Said my friend Robert
Updegraff:
Never grumble about your
problems. They are respon-
sible for the greater part OF
your income"
OF the three bits of wisdom
this last has done me the most
good. Whenever I think I am
having a tough time ! remem-
Der that Jobs with no worries
carry small pay. It's because
I have larger troubles that !
draw a larger income.
None of these three friends
probably gave his remark
second thought. But I have
never forgotten them, and I
now pass them on in this edi-
torial. Ninety-nine out of
every hundred readers will
pay no attention. But some
day, is years from now, some
body may say: II read some
thing of yours a long time ago,
and it gave me a fresh idea"
That's the marvellous thing
about working with words.

Soviet Trade Treaties Seen as Hope
For Capitalist-C Communist Peace

Inquiries thus far seem to indicate
almost no chance of a general capital
ist combination to boycott Russian ex-
ports, especially as these exports are
regularly sold lower than the world
prices. The French navy today is using
Russian oil simply because in the an
nual contract competition the Russian
bid was the lowest.
Germany, which has q political as
well as an economic understanding with
Russia, was the first to protect itself
and meet the viewpoints of both its i'm
porters and its exporters by a complete
contract arranging specifically what
goods each would take from the other.
Italy has followed suit and France Is
hesitating.
Since in the Soviet Union all business
whatsoever is concentrated in the hands
OF the government, Is not this method
Of dealing directly as government to
government the only way, 1t is asked, of
successfully meeting the problem?
Thus, for example. both Germany and
Italy seem well satisfied with their new
arrangement.
Furthermore, 1t is argued, II the con-
tract treaty system should prove the
possibility Of Communism and capital
ism working and living together side by
side, one Of the gravest menaces to
world peace might soon be removed.

Of the birth Of George Washington.
That, it seems to me, Is as it should
be. In carrying forward the develop
ment OF Washington we are doing some
thing Of permanent value for the coun-
try. Business depressions may come
and so and the present one will be for
gotten as time goes on But the city
OF washington will remain, so let us go
ahead with the building Of it and, in
50 doing, follow the example President
Lincoln set when he insisted on carry
ing on the work on the great dome Of
the Capitol even during the darkest
days OF the Civil War. That work. he
felt. was symbol that the Nation must
go forward; and 1t was a symbol also
OF his unconquerable faith which PLAYED
SO large part in the outcome OF the
struggle in which the Nation was then
involved.
We, at this moment. are engaged in
another struggle, this time against eco
nomic forces. The trial is a severe one.
but there can be no doubt about the
outcome. We know that we shall
emerge not only with mistaken faith in
our country's future, but with renewed
confidence in our own capacity as a
people to meet and overcome any OBJ
stacles that may seem temporarily to
IMPEDE our progress.

BY BRUCE BARTON.

A N officer of an insurance
n company invited me to
II the formal opening of
4 n some model tenements
which the company had
erected.
why should I come to see
model ten ements?" / asked.
For answer he pulled out OF
his pocket a crumpled sheet of
paper, saying, Here's an edi-
torial that you wrote nearly Is
years ago. You pointed out
that the insurance companies
collect millions of dollars in
annual premiums from the
poor. You asked why some of
those millions should not be
used in tearing down old
tenements and erecting decent
homes in their place.
I'VE read that editorial in
our directors meeting. 1t
started the thinking which
has resulted in these homes
for folks of modest means"
Words are mysterious and
awe-inSpiring. We shoot them
into the air, either by tongue
or pen, and most Of them per-
ish. But now and then some
stray sentence drops into a
mind that remembers it, and
is Influenced by 1t for many
years.
Many books, many sermons,
many speeches have run in
and out of my brain leaving
little trace. Yet here are three
quite casual remarks that I
remember:

liamS, in a talk which I had
with him Immediately after
my graduation from college:

of the Jesuits, "A great deal Of

trolley roads, automobiles Of the latest
models, radio, talkies, all these are
found in all the important cities of the
country, and BuenoS Aires Is the only
Spanish capital that has q
subway.
History Resembles u. s.
= T:le history Of Argentina also re-
sen:bles. in certain aspects, that of the
United States. After the independence
of the country had been achieved there
followed a long and bitter struggle be-
tween UnionistS and Federalists-be-
tween those who favored q centralized
government like that of France and
those who believed in q federal FORM
giving more liberty to the several states
or provinces. In the end the latter
won and the federal republic of Argen-
tina was finally established with a
form of government similar to that Of
the United States.
ne - provinces which make I'D the
republic have vEc!T own governors and
legislatures, very much as do the States
here. There is also federal district in
which the capital city, Buenos Aires is
located, just as Washington is in the
District Of Columbia in this country.
The usual three branches of govern
ment-legislative judicial and exccu-
tive-are established under the same
principles as in the United States, and
although the President is elected there
for term Of six years instead Of four,
he Is chosen, as in this country, by in
direct vote, which is not the case in
any other of the Latin republics
In Gen. Jose de San Martin, who
freed the country from Spanish do
minion, the Argentines have their
George Washington And in Gen.
Mitre, who consolidated national unity
and organized the administration, they
have their Lincoln. These two men,
whose lives have notable resemblances
with the two most flustrious men of
SaXon-American history, together with
that other great Argentine, Domingo
SarTniento, had the greatest influence
ON the formation Of the political struc-
cure OF the southern republic, as well
Is upon the psychology of its citizens.
However, in spite Of all these geo.
graphic, historical and economic re-
Semblances between the two nations, as
had occasion to remark some time
ago, nearly all that the average reader
OF American newspapers knows about
Argentina is that 1t is the land OF the
pampas. OF the romantic tango and OF
Luis F1rpo, the only man who ever
knocked Jack Dempsey out Of the box
ing ring. And when the Hollywood
1nagnates want to show an Argentine
tango dancer in the movies they still
picture him with Spanish caStanets
and a huge, gay Mexican sombrero.
