It has been natural to suppose that men differ from each other mentally as they do in the more obvious matters of skin color, shape of nose, or curliness of hair. But procuring scientific proof of such differences was a stupendous task. The test with which an American child is given an I. Q. rating is obviously not suited to an adult Afri- Vmc9a Bushman. Written tests are au tomatically barred for the illiterate. penormance tests are almost equally useless. The uncivl lized man cannot understand the dl rections necessary, the pictures are meaningless to him. A new attack is provided by com' paring two primitive peoples not with civilized man but with each . other. Dr. S. D. Porteus, psychologist widely known for his psycholog ical maze tests, has gone to the desert wastes of central Australia and to the home of the Kalahari Bush men in South Africa. Despite better food and water supply and easier living conditions, the Bushmen excelled the environmentally unfavored Australian aborigines in only two respects.

Dr. Plaut said. Fractures of the skull above the atlas are more dangerous.

A strong and vocal minority will insure the retention of rights and powers in the hands of the people where they belong and at the same time it will compel Democrats to stick together in carrying out sound policies proposed by the President.

There will be no gain for the Re publicans in 1938 elections if they attempt to ride two or three different horses as they did In 1936. For example, they cannot do as Candidate Landon did, to wit, call for a bal- need budget in one speech and ad vocate being Santa Claus in another; they cannot blow hot and cold. and, therefore, they must be either conservative or radical. It seems to me the Republicans can probably plan for an immediate balancing of the national budget. In that connection, they can with justification demand curtailment, if not entire elimination, of many governmental functions inaugurated under the New Deal. They can offer constructively a proposal to legislate out of existence some 20 or 30 federal agencies for which there never has been and is not now any excuse for their existence. Another question that is crying for. attention is the huge national National Debt debt, now at the highest in history. That debt must be reorganized and placed on a basis that will permit gradual liquidation of it. The Roosevelt administration has done nothing regarding the debt except to build it higher and higher. If the Republican party wants to do a constructive job it ought to set to work to examine all of the statutes enacted by congress in the last ten or twelve years and especially those enacted in the haste of the emergency with a view to reSome pealing of many of them. can and should be rewritten to make them workable. Those statutes placed on the books by the Roosevelt administration constitute outstanding evidence of the lack of We all know rfcany of opposition. those bills were written in executive departments and sent to congress with instructions to pass them Bad legislation has reunchanged. sulted many times and a checkup surely is indicated. As regards legislation now on the statute books, it seems to me we will never have sound prosperity until certain laws that increase pro duction costs are eliminated. I mean by this that there are numerous laws which have the effect of widen ing the spread between the price of the raw materials and the price of the manufactured products. Legis lation of this kind is bound to force down the prices paid to the pro ducers and, in my opinion, the results are beginning to be reflected on products of the farm. Probably the most delicate ques tion with which the Republicans are confronted relates to wages and hours of labor. Business interests have been shortsighted. Too many times employers have overworked their employees and have shown but little consideration for the rights of labor. The result is that labor is demanding consideration in the shape of protection at the hands of its national government and the Re publicans, whether they desire to or not, must take a stand.
