What Doctors Know
About Your
Brains
ny DIR. MORRIS FTSHBEIN,
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association.

Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association.
The difference between man and the
ape Is the difference between an au-
tomato machine and reasoning power.
In other words, brains make the
human being different from the
animal.
In Liverpool, DR.. w. Blair Bell,
noted British surgeon. considered
some Of the means devised for de-
termining whether or not q person
has the amount Of brains necessary
for success in life. It Is commonly
said that one man has brains and an
other has not, the. comparison usually
referring to what most people consider
average.
The mental tests commonly used
fail to take into account numerous
factors which are significant: for ex-
ample, the amount Of sleep that the
individual has had, his physical state
Of health, and perhaps the variations
In the testers.
What we call intellectual gifts, such
as the ability to learn music, the
ability to figure accurately in math-
ematics, and the ability to remember.
are probably inherited in many cases.
Theoretically 1t should be possible to
breed people with extraordinary men,
cries or Of special musical talent. Some
day the world may make q serious
effort in this direction.
Memory Is called on to play q part
In most mental activities. However, all
intellectual abilities are capable OF
education and further development,
the degree Of development depending,
Of course, on the amount with which
one begins.
Records are available Of a light
ming calculator who was taken to
Cambridge university and who gave
marvellous answers to all of the ques-
lions, but who could not tell how he
got his answers. Neither could he
apply his methods in practical use.
In his case 1t was too late to edu-
cate him. He did not have brains;
he had talent.
No doubt, most of us begin with
some brains, but they are Of little use
unless they are properly trained and
adjusted to daily life. A motor car Is
full Of energy, but it cannot use that
energy until the ignition switch Is
thrown and the clutch engaged. Con-
troll, therefore, is necessary for proper
use of human brains.
After control comes energy. The
lazy man does not think because he
does not try to think. If he tried,
he probably would find he bad the
mental equipment to accomplish the
result he was seeking.
One Of the finest examples Of the
presence Of brains Is the development
OF ideas through imagination. The
man with q perfect memory may never
create q single thought. His brain
merely records the thoughts Of others.
The artist, the genius, the intel
lectual leader, is the one whose brains,
through reasoning, develop thought
| and ideas which all human beings
recognize as important.

Illinois SURPRISES

Many persons were startled at the
nomination of Len Small as the Re-
publican candidate for governor OF H.
linois. It had been generally assumed
that the remains of the Small Thomp-
son machine had been definitely
buried under the wrath of public
opinion at last aroused to the need
for drastic reform.
True, the primary system is re-
sponsible mainly for the nomination
Of man listed among the political
"undesirables" OF Illinois. Under this
system which permitted a plethora OF
candidates, opposition became so d.
vided that a minority was able to put
the Republican party into the COM
ing campaign handicapped by prob
ably the least desirable candidate
that could have been named.
The return of former Governor
Small to q prominent place in his
states politics brings back memories
OF regime In which graft was fla
grant and Illinois became the domicile
Of organized gangs, racketeers and
professional killers.
Illinois has performed surprising
feats in its transformation from sin
ner to saint and back again. Keeping
the devil down is like holding an in
flated tube under water. No sooner
is It pushed down in one spot than
1t hobs up in another.
But righteousness stands triumph
ant in at least one respect. The state
is not to be polluted by any clut
known as the Hell n Maria club
A charter has been refused an organ
ization desiring to adopt that famous
expletive as its name, because Of 1t.
alleged obscenity.
The devil may ballyhoo throughout
the state in his bandwagon, but hi.
help Is not to be listed In the d.
rectory.

More About Babe Ruth

Babe Ruth and his salary have
been subjects for general discussion.
That he should demand a yearly
compensation equal to that Of the
President of the United States in
times when incomes were being
slashed, salaries and wages reduced
and unemployment general, has
caused much adverse criticism.
Let's look at this from Ruth's
standpoint. He has been guaranteed
$4,000 annually to play baseball.
within $4,000 OF the amount he asked
for. That is a lot Of money, yet those
from whom he demanded this sum
were willing to pay it. Why?
Because Ruth cannot be replaced.
Many men doing important work in
industry and commerce have been
forced to accept heavy salary cuts,
or have even lost their jobs. Most OF
these men can be replaced by others
ready and capable to step into their
shoes.
Not so with Ruth. There are other
good hitters in baseball but only one
Ruth. His personality combined with
an extraordinary ability have given
him reputation that brings into the
cash register many more dollars than
he takes out.
Psychoanalysts describe Ruth a.
zone man in a billion" He has sc
many near perfect mental and physi.
cal attributes that such a combina-
ton is likely to be found, according
to probabilities, in only one man In
every billion.
Surely this has something to de
with the position he has created fo1
himself. In his vocation, sport
though 1t be. he cannot be replaced.
This is rare position and a secure
one. Not many men achieve this dis
tiuction.

BRITISH SWEPT BACK

BRITISH SWEPT BACK
On April Is, 1918, German troops
occupied part Of Mont KENNEL, one
Of the key positions in the Lys sec
tor, after q day Of heavy fighting
with the British and French troops.
French troops were forced out Of
Hangard by fresh German shock
troops.
Fighting Of great intensity con-
tinued, with German gains being
small, on the entire Lys front. Five
new German divisions were in the
battle, allied officials said.
British counter-attacks regained
some of the ground lost early in the
day, but pressure on the entire British
front was very great.
Germany sent an ultimatum to Hol-
land demanding the right to trans
port certain supplies not used in war
through Dutch territory.

into his eighties, but like the others
he will run the famous place until,

Catch Dad in a confidential mood
and he'll tell you tale that runs

Overnight Simon Mayer was famous
as a goose chef. From an election bet,
he became a restaurateur. His name
became associated so intimately with
goose cookery that friends playfully
referred to him as "Ganse" Mayer.
Which Is how the name Gansemayer
came into being.

Love of the Game

There is a lesson for us all In the
editorial printed by the Dickey Coun-
ty Leader to call attention to its fiji
tieth anniversary.
In common with other newspapers
of the state, The Tribune, North Da-
kota's oldest newspaper, joins in ex-
tending congratulations to this brother
which now has rounded out half a
century Of service to its community.
It's history is. not unusual, as the
histories Of publications go, but it Is
an honorable record and one Of which
II. J. Goddard, publisher Of the Ellen
dale newspaper, and every citizen OF
Glendale, well may be proud.
AS with most institutions SO years
old, its founders are long since dead
but other men have come to take their
places and to carry on in the finest
traditions and according to the highest
standards Of the newspaper business.
what that standard should be is
stated, indirectly, in the anniversary
editorial: We quote:
Changes have been made, as
times have changed; but at no
{. e has sight been lost Of the
mental fact that the sue
eas..tul country newspaper must
sslve it's community. fairly and
impartially. It must amplify the
coed deeds Of It's people, and min
imize or ignore their small weak
uesses. r may criticize when that
criticism Is constructive, but It
must not tear down. It must
boost, but expect no credit; It
must serve, but prepare to be
snubbed. At times We have felt,
IS probably every publisher and
editor feels, that the game Is not
worth the candle. But Is we look
back over the years. we recall the
many kind words, the thanks Of
those We have served, the little
deeds Of good we have tried to DO. 4
The unpleasantnesses and harsh
criticisms are forgotten. It has
been grand game, and has
Wrought rs own rewards. And. God

Reyiying Democracy

An important and significant po-
litical development was inaugurated
in this state with the meeting Of DEM
ocratic county conventions recently.
Attendance was excellent and instead
Of begging men to accept places on
the ticket and on delegations to the
state convention, eagerness for such
posts was displayed.
It is a good thing for North Dakota
as well as the Democratic party, that
such is the case. The time has come
to fight out political contests through
the agencies of two parties, rather
than In mugwump alliances without
party allegiance, principles or con-
yictions. These fusion paries have re-
solved themselves into job-snatching
organizations. They have little polit-
ical background and the necessity that
called them into being has gone. Their
platforms are widowed. Their leader
ship, generally speaking, Is shot
through with petty ambitions. spites
and yearnings for political pelf.
Reconstruction Of the Republican
and Democratic parties in North Da-
kota will eventually restore party re-
sponsibility in this state more nearly
than can be obtained now.
AS It is now, a faction meets as
real" Republicans. Then they ad-
journ, beckon a few pie-counter Dem
ocrats over, and organize As I. v. A
