The tyrant in the human skull set the style
for modern dictators. First it built itself the
biggest bombproof palace in the animal king
DOM in proportion TO weight. In that palace
il granted generous spaces for its favorites
the brain areas controlling hands and speech
and also sight. A dictator in order to be the
boss, wants to everything as well as have
a finger in everything, and give orders to
everyone.
Only one more thing is needed to make
him happy which is to hog for himself and
his pets as much as he dares Of the money
The currency of the body is the blood and
how the brain taxes the rest of the human
anatomy!
Says Professor Estabrooks:
The vampire brain, which literally sucks
the strength from every body organ to suit its
own ends. is Natures unique and fatal gift to
man. Nowhere else in the animal kingdom do
we find even an approach 10 the human brain
and nowhere else do we find such an astonish-
ing degeneration in a few brief years.
The human has used his intelligence to
think up dozen different ways of side
stepping Natures laws but, while man may
outwt Nature for another ten thousand or
even hundred thousand years the odds are
all against him. Sooner or later the day of
reckoning will come, and Nature will send
her weird two-legged brain child to join hun
dreds Of other discarded models
The brain does very well by itself and
very badly by the rest of the body except
hands and tongue. Like a spoiled child king
IT plays favortes Vampre-like IL takes en-
ergy from all other body organs forgetting
that stomach heart and kidneys are, in the
long run, just as necessary TO its own welfare
as its own spoiled favorites.
Seldom indeed does disease invade the
brain II is extremely difficult for germs 10
reach il, so well is it protected; and the wall
Of armor keeps it safe from any ordinary
blow
all when person is old he must expect any
thing"
Millions Of years from now it is not impos-
sihle that the human race Will become physi-
cally weaker and weaker as more and more
unused parts such as the toes become rudi-
mentary in size as well as in function
One of Natures threats Of vengeance
would seem TO most people more like sign
of favor Man is growing bigger But since
the days of the monster saurians she has
been picking off her big children and man
was already well up in the heavyweight
division
II is hardly to be expected that man will
voluntarily stop monkeying With the evou-
uonary buzz-saw Future generations cannot
vote fight pay taxes or even speak today
Therefore they get no consideration from the
politicians one of whom summed 1t up per-
feCtly when he said.

Then, for some reason, Micromalthus
decided not TO bother with growing up
any more and so is letting the adult
beetle stage pass out of the picture
Where the mature beetle used to attend
to perpetuating the species, evolution
has found a short cut.
1t simply lets the larval stage become
the mother of more larvae. Some of
the larvae forget themselves and go on
to become old-fashioned beetles but these
seem TO know they have made a mis-
take because they neither breed nor
apparently even eat just muddling

 The way Hitler declares war is to ac- cuse nation of attacking Germany. When he entered Poland without declaration of war, he simply claimed that Polish regu- lar soldiers had fired on German territory His excuse for going to war with Russia was the charge that Russian patrols had penetrated into the reich's territory and started shooting.
 Now he charges that the United States has attacked Germany. By that he hopes to force Japan int against the U. s. The Axis agreement is that when any of the cont racting powers is attacked, the oth- CTS shall go to war against the ettacker.
 Nazi submarines sank American ships, so Hitler HOPES we are at war. We -but Germany and Japan are both trying to "cov- CT too much territ ory" and Japan evidently has very little faith in Hitler and is smart enough to foresee that if she wages war with the United States she will lose so much "face" that she will probably new CT again have face to lose.

NEW YORK, May l0.-The stock
market got its back against the wall
today and punched out sizable re-
coveries for many recent laggards.
Improvement came after a hesi-
tant start. Motors, steels, coppers
and rails came to the fore in the
final hour of the brief session and
gains of fractions to about 2 points
were tackled on favorites. Prices
were at or near the best at the close
While it was far from a runaway
rally bidding was sufficient to put
the 2-hour volume at around 300 900
shares, against 100000 last Satur-
day.
The principal reason given by
brokers for the better action of the
list was that many analysts were
coming to believe another one of
those "oversold" conditions pre-
vailed. In addition, it was not over
looked that the market in the past
several weeks has displayed conSid-
cradle immunity to bad war news,
tax worries and labor riffs. The
heavy British bombing of the Ger
mans tended to stiffen sentiment to
a certain degree
Speculative encouragement also
was derived from scattered business
items. Among these were predic-
tionS of brisk rebound in next
weeks steel production. word that
consumer demand for new automo-
bileS was continuing at such a high
level manufacturers were unable to
fill orders despite record-breaking
output, and indications the pro-
nounced expansion in usage of cop
per, both by private and govern
mental sources, would ultimately
rebound to the benefit of metal
share owners.
Bonds were steady and commodi-
ties generally higher. Wheat fu-
lures held fairly we'll in the face of

gest since 1888.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associat ted Press


CHICAGO, MAY 10. - Renewed
buying of corn futures today lifted
prices as much as cent or more to
new peaks for the past four years
but wheat declined fractionally, due
to prospects of a large winter crop
harvest.
Demand for corn was associated
with prospects of a higher loan rate
for the new crop, limited country
offerings and rising hog and lard
prices. stimulated partly by large
scale Government purchases. White
corn sold up above 80 cents bushel
in the spot market.
The Government revised its ask
ing price on federally held corn to a
basis of 3l2 cents over July futures
instead of cents over May futures
for No. 2 yellow.
Corn closed Il lower to 11s cents
