For those people who think
Congress ought to have it's head
examined oftener this will be bad
news.
Not that Congress has i'm
proved. It isn't that. From q
purely scientific standpoint-that
is, as an anthropological psychol-
ogist or garden-variety Of alienist
would look at 1.-THE evidence
suggests that it hasn't. At least
none has appeared to say that it
has.
The answer comes, rather,
from DR.. Arthur Macdonald, who
claims hitherto to have measured
the heads of SO members of Con-
gress most of whom have been
since defeated, and who hoped at
that time to measure the other
376.
Doctor Gives Up
The doctor is giving Congress
up. He will positively not ask
any more Members of Congress
to let him measure their heads.
For the doctor, although still a
young man of 70, is temporarily
incapacitated at his home, and
has turned his attention to the
universe anyway. And what are
435 members of Congress COM
pared with the 1000 millions of
human beings representing the
remaining population Of tn e
world?
Word reached Washington from
Annapolis yesterday that DR.. Nc
Donald had asked members of the
Maryland legislature to examine
their heads. This caused an
irreverent member-for DR.. Mac.

after night out.
But in the meantime the doc
The Washington times., 1935-01-25
DC. Student Of Brains
Gives Congress Up

tors interests have gone far be-
yond even Annapolis, and when
interrogated in a lounging robe at
his home was discovered to be
thinking of legislative bodies and
other specimens in all of the coun-
tries printed in pink, green and
yellow in the family atlas.
When finally found at his home,
300 block East Capitol St., within
sight if not smell of the Capitol,
the doctor got out documents to
prove everything.
How It Works
It seems that if you measure
the length, breadth and width of
your head, and don't have too
thick a skull, and if you find in
addition that your ears don't show
ever the top, you apply these facts
to a complicated mathematical
formula and reach the conclusion
that you are one of two things-a
bright young man or an idiot.
Take Congress, for example, as
DR.. Macdonald does. He is being
quoted:
"COngreSSmen, the insane,
idiots and geniuses may all have
larger brains than the average.
The 80 Congressman examined
were 10 per cent higher in brain
weight than the average. Of
course, some of them were
pretty damned low in inteIli-
gence, but there were some
bright ones who brought the
average up"
And the Brain Trust? Quote:
"Well, there are a lot of new
Swelled heads around here who
ought to be back in the asylum"
But that's a minor matter in
DR.. MacDonald's life. The time
has come for a showdown, he
thinks, as to who has the worlds
brains. He said:
Lets find out where the
brains are"
To which, abandoning Congress
and the Brain Trust to whatever
fate awaits them, the doctor said
he had dedicated his life.

STATES ASKED
To HELP GUT
AUTO TOLL
President Sends Appeal to
Governors to Cooperate
in Drive by U. S.

Calling attention to the In
creasing number of deaths and
injuries from automobile accidents
all over the country, President
Roosevelt has sent a letter to
the governors of each of the 48
States urging them to bring about
uniform State action to keep
down the rising traffic toll.
The President called attention
to the fact that the traffic
deaths and accidents in 1884
greatly exceeded that of any
previous year.
In his letter President Roose'
velt said:
eve should, as a people, be
able to solve this problem which
so vitally affects the lives and
happiness of our citizens.
U. S. COOPERATING
"In order to assist in this,

through the Secretary of Com.
merce, has taken the leader.
ship in developing remedial
measures. Proposals for uni.
form State legislation have
been worked out by the Ma
tiOnal Conference on Street
and Highway Safety with the
cooperation of responsible
State officials and representa-
tives Of interested organizations
from all parts of the country.
"The remedies that need to
be applied are thus available in
form which appears to meet the
unanimous approval of expert
enced judgment. The pressing
problem is to secure universal
application of these remedies
which have proved effective
where applied. u
STATE RESPONSIBILITY
"The responsibility for action
rests with the States. There is
need for legislation and for the
organization of proper agencies
of administration and enforce
ment. There is need also for
leadership in education of the
public in the safe use of the
motor vehicle. which has be-
come an indispensable agency of
transportation"
The President called attention
to the fact that most of the State
legislatures are meeting in 1885,
and said concerted action by the
States is extremely important. He
urged the governors to give the
matter serious consideration.
