MANY DISEASES DO NOT LESSEN
INTELLIGENCE, SURVEY SHOWS
Some Ailments Sharpen Minds, Study lndlcateS

Children who were suffering from
rheumatism, pneumonia. or kidney
disorders, which do not seem to have
any relationship to the brain, were
found to be Just as intelligent - their
brothers and sisters, who were health
full.
Only in cases where the disease AZ
fccted the glands Of internal sccre-
ton or the brain was there any ap-
preciable departure from normal in
telligence.
The interesting fact was observed
that the intelligence seemed to be
improved during the acute stage OF
any illness. probably due to the slim
ulation associated with fever and in
creased chemical activity In the body.
Children Of higher intelligence had
in general begun to walk and to talk
earlier than those Of lesser intelli-
gence.
Another interesting observation
was the correlation between height
and intelligence, in that children Of
higher intelligence seemed to be slight
~ taller than the others. It must be
however. that this study
was made In Great Britain, and that
q similar study made among races
which are inclined to shortness of
stature might yield q different result.
One questions whether It would be
found that the taller Japanese are
any. smarter than the short ones.

had lied to her in deed II not in

her pride into the dust. of Larry
who had left her to bear her heart
break as best she could.
She admired Steven. respected
him. liked him. but what was to

Two Fargo-Moorhead
Bridges Requested

Fargo, N. D., March 19.-(F-If an
acceptable arrangement for financing
construction Of two more bridges
across the Red river between Fargo
and Moorhead can be worked out, the
North Dakota parties to the venture
are ready to proceed with as little
delay as possible.
That was assured Thursday when
the Cas- county board of commission
ers adopted resolution requesting
the North Dakota State Highway
commission to proceed with the prep
aration of surveys, plans, specifica-
tions and estimates required for the
two bridges.
The state commission was further
requested to take all necessary steps
toward obtaining federal aid not to
exceed so per cent Of the total actual
cost, and also to set aside, when avail
able, q percentage Of state aid for the
work.
The Cass county board agrees to
obtain title to such right Of way as
may be found necessary, and will pay
its share Of the actual cost Of obtain
ing right of way, not to exceed
$4,000.

Vanity of Vanities
Duluth Heraldt

George Eastman developed a vast
industry, produced an article that
gave great pleasure and interest to
millions of people, promoted other in
duStries such as the motion picture
industry that grew out of the film he
invented, amassed a great fortune, ex-
plored many avenues in search OF
peace and happiness including travel,
big game hunting and philanthropy
on a vast scale. and then, at the age
Of IS. with no wife or child or
grandchild, he fell sick. He fell sick
Of body. and manifestly he fell sick OF
mind too, because yesterday he sent
away his friends and killed himself.
Always the act of an insane person
or coward. it is charity to call him
insane.
The story OF Eastman, like the story
Of Kruger, seems to be still more
proof that peace and happiness do
not necessarily lie down the road Of
great wealth and vast possessions.
Solomon long ago painted this dreary
highway:
I made me great works. build
ed me houses: planted me vine
yards: I made me gardens and
orchards, and I planted trees in
them Of all kinds Of fruits.
gathered me also silver and
gold, and the peculiar treasure Of
kings and Of the provinces; I
gat me men singers and women
singers, and the delights Of the
sons Of men, and musical instru-
ments. and that Of all sorts. SO
was great, and increased more
than all that were before me in
Jerusalem. And whatsoever mine
eyes desired I kept not from
them. I withheld not my heart
from any Joy; for my heart re-
joiced In all my labor: and this
was my portion OF all my labor.
Then I looked on all the works
that my hands had wrought, and
on the labor that I had labored
to do; and behold, all was vanity
and vexation Of spirit, and there
was no profit under the sun.

Population, Is Pounds
New York, March 19.-While it
might seem, offhand, to indicate UNI
derweight or malnutrition, the fact
remains that the population of New
York Tor Manhattan, If you prefer
will be fifteen pounds this year. And
this shows a considerable gain in
weight.
For I have it in q note from the
City Directory offices that the big
towns list of names will require three
volumes: one combining Manhattan
and the Bronx; one for Queens; one
for Brooklyn. And it will be partic-'

Talented Mr.. Rhoades 4
From Samuel j. Gates, a consulting
engineer of Milwaukee, Wis, comes a
note informing me that I didn't do
complete justice to the writings of
John Harsen Rhoades, the banker
poet. In recent column I revealed
that. in addition to attending to vast
estates and handling great fortunes,
Mr.. Rhoades sent verses to a column
list on the Springfield Ull.) Republi-
can. Reading of this in the Milwau-
kee Journal, Mr.. Gates writes:
"You made no mention of the fact
that Mr.. Rhoades is author of an in
teresting little volume: Thoughts of
a Man at Fifty"
Nor did I, not having been aware
Of its existence.
At any rate, within its pages you'll
find such epigrams as this:
tits poor mirror that cannot re-
pay SMILE"
And there's a story of Wall Street
banker who was approached for a
loan. The banker declined at first,
but the borrower seemed so eager
that the banker said:

Pr0digiOuS Producers

Pr0digiOuS Producers
Critics may be all wet and a men
ace to the theater-even as announced
by Representative Sirovich. But
there's no doubt about one thing: the
big Broadway producers think they
know how to size up their own shows
and each has an individual way of
doing it.
Flo Ziegfeld rarely laughs at the
funniest scenes and usually has, some
criticism to make. He generally Sug-
gests the introduction of some pretty
girls whatever the situation. Earl
Carroll always arrives in his stained
smock and stands in the aisle giving
an imitation Of "the thinker" You
know, with hand to the brow.
Sam Harris is extremely meticulous
about "the book" and calls in several
play doctors" and such to sit in. Har-
ris always keeps rapid-fire stenog-
rapher at his side, sits on aisle seats
at openi1ig nights and dictates sug-
gestions.,, This was an old custom Of
the late David Belasco, who visited
the other fellows shows with a sten0
and wrote down the names of good
actors, while making soto voce COM
mentaries.
George Kaufman usually stands
back stage with script in his hand,
giving kindly hints rather than Or
ders.
