How often, for example, have
you heard grown-up men and
women say that the shape and
size of a persons head deter
mines his intelligence - the as
sumption being that small heads
mean small, weak brains while
nice, large, round heads must
have nice, big, high-powered
brains working away inside
them. Absolutely wrong. The
shape Of the head has nothing
to do with brains. Nov we know
that some of the smartest men
in the world have had the small
est brains" writes Mrs. Evans,
"and the largest brain in the
world ever found belonged to an
idiot"
There is no such thing as a
mans having Indian blood in
him either - or Chinese, or
English blood - or bad blood or
good blood. Because there's just
blood - the same the world
over - in four types which are
found among all kinds Of people
no matter what the color of
their skin, or where they live, or
what they do. God made man
that way. We had better ac-
knowledge it, praise God for 1t,
and set about doing what we can
to make this a country free of
racial and religious prejudice
which ignorance of mans nature
does SO much to cause.
Mrs. Evans book is a great
help - especially for children
who are entitled to know the
truth as they grow up. Get 1t
and read 1t with your children
better, with your family. 1t is

Doctors have been studying
to find out what gives skin its
color. They have found out, too.
1t is two chemicals. 'Melanin' is
the name of the chemical that
gives the brown color to the
skin. 'Carotene' is the chemical
that gives the yellowish color.
Each one Of us has some Of both
Of these chemicals in our skin.
Sometimes there is more mela-
min. sometimes more carotene.
Except for the red blood vessels
that shine through and give a
pinkish tint to the skin your col
or is made by the mixing Of
these two chemicals. This is the
way it works: a person who hap
pens to have a lot Of melanin in
his skin will be brown. A person
with a lot Of carotene in his skin
will be yellow-tan. And someone
with Just a little melanin and
Just a little carotene, with skin
thin enough for the blood yes
sells to show through, will be a
pinkish, tannish white"
This is a quotation from Eva
Knox Evans new book, ALL
ABOUT US, how we all original
ly had the very same grandpar-
ents if you go back far enough
- how in the long ago men
wandered in groups over the
earth, were separated from each
other, and became white, brown,
or yellow. iq
The book is written for 1ehil-
dren but, outside of a few, an
thropologists and biologists, and
college graduates - who sue
ceeded in acquiring some sound
knowledge during their under
graduate days - the book will
do very well for about SO per
cent of the adults of the coun-
try, too.
