POWER OF BRAIN A MYSTERY Scientists New Assert That Size and Shape Have Nothing Whatever to Do With It. Dr. E. Linden Melius of Johns Hopkins university has announced to all the world that your brain is good because it is, that’s all. At least that is the substance of his message to the American Physiological soci ety. Neither size nor convolutions have anything to do with brain force. Whether your brain is the size of a crabapple, and as smooth, or the size of a cauliflower, and as convoluted, makes no difference in the mental punch. That’s all due to some mys terious force, undiscovered and un analyzed. It is somewhat trying to have all the established notions kicked over in this summary 7 fashion, but maybe we can get used to this doctrine in the new year. Anyhow, there is some comfort in knowing that the rule-of thumb method by which the world has been judging brain power for these many years —that of the qual ity of the product—does not conflict with the newest theory’ about the sub ject. So that while the textbooks may’ have to be rewritten, the prac tice can go on as it is, and the size of the pay check still be the outward and visible sign and gauge of the brain punch.

Prominent Statesman, Formerly Staunch Brown Supporter, Now Gives Convincing Reasons Why Brown Should Not Be Elected. Read what lie says: • Joe Brown is in the race for the Senate, witli no apparent reason, other than of opposition to the Wilson Administration. "His utterances indicate that he is in opposition to the President. He arraigned Senator Smith for failure to pas- laws to control disputes be tween capital and labor. If this legislation is demanded by the country, then President Wilson ami the Democratic Party are responsible for a failure to enact it. "Senator Smith has been, and is now, a strong supporter of President 1 Wilson and of the policies for which hr stands as the head of the Demo cratic Party and of the Government of the country. IT IS HARDLY TO BE EXPECTED, AND INDEED NO ONE BELIEVES, THAT GOV ERNOR BROWN WOPLI) GIVE THE PRESI DENT AND HIS AD MINISTRATION THE SAME HEARTY SUPPORT THAT SENATOR SMITH HAS. "This situation in the State should appeal strongly to every Democrat who believes in the President and the policies and principles for which he stands. He has shown himself not only to be the greatest Democrat, but the greatest President, that the country has had since the days of Jefferson. "There is in this State among a certain class of people, strong oppo sition to President Wilson, personally, and to his principles and policies of government. These people seem to be solidly supporting Governor Brown. It is thereto!e not a light between Governor Brown and Senator Smith, but is a fight between those who believe in the President and the principles of the Democratic Party, and that faction of the State who are opposed to him and his principles. The election of Governor Brown to the United States Semite under existing conditions would be a slap in the face to President Wilson. It would be regarded throughout the country as an anti-Administration victory and a repudiation on the part of the Democratic Party, or a majority ol the Democrats in Georgia, of Presi dent Wilson’s Administration. "I say this not in the interest of Senator Smith, for personally I would not vote for him. "1 am not influenced by any personal motive. I have received no recognition at the hands of President Wilson or the National Democratic Administration, nor do I expect to. "As a Democrat, who strongly believes in the President, who admires his course as a brave, honest, straightforward statesman, I teei it my duty to give him and his administration my earnest support. “JOSEPH H.
