It's quite possible that some of our

this way.

were among your favorites, you'll
be glad to know that new series

"Myrt's" son is now on the pro-
gram, and "Marge" is her daugh-
ter. The son, George Damerel, used
to 60 to the University of Southern
California, but he left college to
tour with his mother and sister
when they went on the stage. Looks
as if "Myrt" had built up a pretty
good business for the family by
writing those sketches, doesn't it?

police the plant and grounds. 1t is
of considerable advantage if the
plant is located on the street, and
not set far back from the gate, for
the success of the strike depends
upon the workers control of all en-
frances and exits. The way must
be kept open for dispatches of food
and other supplies to come in. If
you can say an army marches on
its stomach, you can say modern
strike sits down on it's stomach. If
plant has windows which open to
the street, supplies may be passed
in without the necessity of en-
tering through one of the gates.
Women Are Chaperoned.
Strike leaders realize that to keep
the sympathy of the public they
must remain orderly. Mobs with
an axe to grind do not remain
orderly for long unless their minds
are occupied, unless there are means
provided for expanding the natural
energy their bodies create. For that
reason to every striker is assigned
some duty. He may be given a
certain area to keep clean, GER
tain watch to patrol or "shift"
on messenger duty.
If there are women among the
strikers they may be charged with
information desks, with preparing
food, mending clothing, or even
running impromptu beauty parlors
to keep up the appearance of their
colleagues. Chaperonage is usually
of the strictest order, and there
have been cases in which the regu-
lar plant matrons stayed in with
the strikers to administer this inn
portant job.
The information clerks are often
as not the liaison between the strik-
ers and their families or friends out
side. Wives often call at windows
to see their husbands. Often ruses
are employed in attempts to get
the men out and home for a few
hours; guards are told that Sam
Jones' wife has had a baby, that
Art Johnson's son is stricken with
pneumonia. Pickets soon learn to
investigate such claims thoroughly
before giving striker a pass-out
check.
Strikers are not nearly so uncom-
Portable as might be imagined. In
the automobile plants there are usu-
ally enough rear seat cushions at
hand to provide plenty of soft beds,
while floor coverings make good
blankets.
Wives Cook the Meals.
Barrels, kegs and boxes serve for
chairs and are fairly comfortable,
at that. On steel tables the strikers
play such games as checkers, mon
opoly and poker. Washers can
serve as either checkers or chips;
a checkerboard can easily be fash
ioned from a piece of cardboard,
and where can you find a few hun
dred men without a deck of cards
among them?
Food usually is cooked in a hall
near the plant. Sometimes a chef
from a restaurant in the town SUI
pervises the work. The wives and
sweethearts of the strikers do most
of the actual cooking, and pack the
many tubs and baskets which Off

dlSO llSHC Ill spun.
Take a typical scene about a
striking automobile body plant.
Parked along the curbs and in the
street outside the plant are scores
of cars containing sympathizers
with the workers or simply the idly
curious. Have they come in the
hope of seeing some excitement-a
riot, perhaps? No. They have come
to listen to one of the nightly con-
certs played by the strikers orches-
ira! And as the closing strains of
pennies From Heaven" or cts
De-Lovely" float out the windows
of the shutdown plant, there is a
chorus of honking applause from
the audience.
This is not an indication that
the strikers are bunch of loafers,
bent on having a good time. 1t is
actually one of the applications of
"big business" methods to strik-
ing. If organized recreation makes
happier industrial workers, so it
makes strikers happier-and more
effective. Concerts are part of an
efficiently administered program of
discipline and education which is
far cry from the conduct of strikes
of the past.
Long Known in Mines.
It is also a far cry from the ear
lest Shutdown" strikes, which are
mis-named, for the strikers do not
actually sit down very much. They
only remain inside the plant in
which they worked, guarding the
property against inv aston by
"scabs" until their demands are
met.
Perhaps John L. Lewis, long
known in mine labor circles, adapted
this idea from a practice of miners
over many years past. A miner who
was not being given enough timber
to "shore" his place would squat
and refuse to load any coal until
the timber arrived. The superin-
tendent usually lost no time in get
ting it to him.
The first stay-in or sit-down strike
to gain wide attention was that in
the mines of PEGS, Hungary, in
1894. Miners down in the shafts re-
fused to come up and even threat
ened to commit suicide en- masse
if their working conditions and pay
were not improved. A year later
the same idea was adopted by work.

it produced a crisis which was re-
lieved only when the government,

Strikers protect" Property.
In the United States it first re-
ceived wide attention when en-
ployes of art and theater projects
of the WPA "stayed-in" but refused
to work until their demands were
met.
Workers claim that when they
strike inside a plant, they actually
protect the property. But while they
are there, the company cannot put
anyone else on their jobs. Company
officials claim this is trespassing
and illegal.

Brains About Average.
Their brains run about average.
They were a people Of fairly large
stature. The correlation Is not be-
tween size of brain per sc and intel
ligence, but between the ratio Of brain
size and stature to intelligence. The
man himself may well have led most
miserable life If he was actually
person Of the supreme genius his brain
size might indicate because he was
thrown In an environment Of very
commonplace people, largely domi-
mated by such stuffed shirts as Pow
hatan. and any original ideas he may
have had probably would have been
ridiculed.
On the other hand the possession
of brains does not mean that they
actually are made use Of, and it has
been said that nobody actually uses
more than a tenth of the brains he
possesses Inhibitions of unknown
nature prevent it.
The finding is OF especial interest,
since it follows so soon upon the dis
covery of a 2,000-cubic centimeter
normal brain by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka
of the Smithsonian Institution In an
old burial site in the Aleutian Islands
last Summer. Up to that time this
was the largest brain known from the
New World and one of the two or
three largest known on earth. There
are three or four Indian skulls run
uing around 1900 cubic centimeters
in the National Museum collections.
Nature Experimenting.
A fantastic possibility which has
been suggested is that Nature was
actually experimenting with super
race of human beings in the New
World at about the time the white
man came with whisky and gun
powder and put an end to the ex-
pertinent. The fact is that several
Indian tribes were trying out various
schemes of political and social rela-
tions which. had they been allowed

LARGEST HUMAN
SKULL IS FOUND
Judge Graham Makes Dis.
Covery in Stafford
County, Va.

The largest normal human skull
ever found-and by big margin-has
just been unearthed at an Algonquin
Indian site on the Potomac River in
Stafford County, Va, by Judge W. j.
Graham of the United States Court
Of Customs and Patent Appeals.
The skull has a capacity of approx
mately 1900 cubic centimeters.
The largest hitherto known was
that of Turgenieff, the Russian nov
elist. whose capacity was about 2,10O
cubic centimeters.
The average capacity for the white
race and for the American Indian is
approximately $500 cubic centimeters.
Some outstanding individuals-not-
ably Bismarck and Daniel Webster
had skull capacities very close to
1000 cubic centimeters. Hence this
unknown Indian, who lived three
or four centuries ago, had a skull
nearly so per cent greater than the
average for the human race. 1t looks
like an entirely normal skull, accord
ing to DR.. T. D. Stewart of the Smith
coiAietiA AliSblldlIoii VIII
1t for Judge Graham. This indicates,
although it does not prove conclu-
slvely, that the man had so per cent
more brains than the average of his
kind. He may have been the closest
approach to the superman Nature has
yet produced.
France Had Small Skull.
Intelligence, it is pointed out by
National Museum anthropologists. is
only very roughly correlated with size
of brain. Generally the brains of
outstanding men and women through
out history have been bigger than the
average in relation to stature. There
have been some very notable excep-
tlons-among them the later French
novelist, Anatole France, one of the
outstanding men of letters of this
generation, whose brain barely had
capacity of 900 cubic centimeters.
Had there been any very close COR
relation, France would have been fee
ble-mlnded. On the other hand. enor-
nous skulls are sometimes found in
feeble minded institutions. due to a
condition known as hydrocephaly, or
