He is a genius at figures—one of the ‘greatest . lightning calculators on record, though his brain faculties are subnormal, inferior. |” All his thathematical ‘calculations are perform- .ed in his head. He never figures with pencil, Investigators recently asked him to give the ca foot; of 465,484,375. He thought for 13 sec- onds—and gave the correct, answer. y This question was put to him: “How many grains of torn would be in 64 hoxes if the first box had one grain, the second two grains, the third four, the fourth eight, the eighth 16, and so on in succesgjon ?”” In 4§ seconds, the wizard announced the sum total=-18,446,734,073;709,551,615. a day off some time and try that on paper. Editor! i ‘Wherever you find one faculty of the brain ab- normally developed, other faculties usually ‘suf- fer. it’s like a man with his ‘Ieft ‘arm cut off and the strength of-both arms concentrated in his right. Nature gives us certain powers and so balances | them that their total averages about the same. Looks as if, she doesn’t want us to learn too ‘much ‘too rapidly. Multiply our present intelli- gence by 100 and we'd do a lot of foolish things. | Slow. progress keeps, balance. But! there’s one brain faculty—memory—that cal . developed to almost, any extent without sldwing down the others. — Amazing memory feats have been performed’ by men with brilliant, well- balanced brains. Robert Robinson, California evangelist, a few years ago. Created a scientific sensation by proving that he had memorizéd half of the Bible, which has 773;898 words. Caesat knew tens of thousands of his. soldiers: by their full names. Professor Asa Gray could name 25,000 different plants. Many Brahrnins can repeat, word for word, the 10,000. verses of the Rig-Veda. While man’s intelligence increases slowly,’ ‘the day may come when every one will have the game mathematical brilliance as the young : Frenchinan, i with all other faculties equally developed. Mentally, man has barely emerged from barbar- ism, Eventilly his ‘brain, compared with ear may be stupendous in its powers. Is the young French mathematical genius the forerunner of a race of super-brainmen? DESTRUCTION ‘ A 14-year-old Pennsylvania boy, with a passion for smashing things, confesses that he wrecked the Lackawanna Limited... His supreme ambition was to. ‘wreck a ‘train. Now he’s awaiting trial for murder. A lot of brain experts will ponder this’ lad’s case. They’ll say he’s abnormal, that he hag / structive mania.” Psychologists will suggest various cures. Many fathers will fecommend strap-oil. What’s really wrong with this boy—as well ‘as many others—is that he was born, , several al sand years too late. The desire to destroy is one of the most pow: erful impulses of brute man. Civilization has restrained it, but who hasn’t gotten mad at some- thing; and smashed it with great glee? When: y you were a baby, you smashed ‘toys 3 fast as they were placed before you. reason the infant’s playthings are made of Tub- ber. 2, If you were a normal hoy,, along. about, your sixth birthday pa gave you a chest of tools.

Now, we . have to buckle down for a few generations and re-) ‘pair the damages. There were plenty of precedents in, the past, | warning us that, what i is broken must be ‘replaced. | ' But the desire to destroy proved stronger , Seal the wisdom’ of restraint. You wonder what civilization. will, lead to —! what its highest type will, have as its leading: characteristic. * ‘ The ‘answer is: absolute caging of the destruc: \tive impulse. That has been the story of all great civilizations; celebrated temple, the Parthenon, conceded to be! the finest piece of architecture in the history of| ‘man. Adorning it Were statues carved by- his-j tory’s greatest’ sculptor, Phidias. . | Being highly. civilized, the Greeks revered the! ’| statues. Invading Turks, less civilized, used the! statues as targets for their primitive rifles—and ruined, them. |: That: one incident is characteristic of the! whole history. of map. FINDING SOLUTION "Less than two months ‘ago, we had it on ‘the! authority of Premier Lloyd George that the Irish | problem was insoluble. That his pessimistic view | was Shared by the other members of. the British! cabinet ‘was evidenced by the preparations that! land and increase the repressive measures. It looked very much as though the world was} about to witness greater tragedies ig Ireland than) any that had gone before. — Today, as the result of negotiations, for which the. premiers of the British Dominions seem to! have been largely responsible, the “insoluble” Trish problem has been solved. ‘The official annouiicement, has not yet been} made but it is generally understood that it only remains to put the finishing touches, to the com-| promise agreement. | Today, three months before the disarmament| conference is to meet at Washington, many pessi-| mists are predicting that the problems which it) ‘will face are “insoluble” and that the only possi-| ble answer to them is another war, more horrible, than, the last one. It would be the greatest folly to underestimate | the difficulties which will confront the delegates | when they meet in Washington. But to accept the pessimistic view ‘that these difficulties, great as they are, cannot be over- feome, is even worse folly, No liuman problem i is insoluble if approached in yan Bayi BAYING | ‘ Our idea of a thankless, job is to be a member} of one of the congte ‘éstonal committees, charged with the duty of writing the new revenie bill. ‘A little matter of $4,500,000,000 has. got to be} raised to pay Uncle Sam's bills for the next. fiscal) year. ciSbmething: like a mob has 5 desoenilia on Wash- ington, to protest against. this, that and the other form of tax being levied.

Well yes there are a few in the north of Ireland mostly office holders,” Lords, Dukes, Earls, etc., and those are some of Sims, friends who are nor for. an Irish republic. In admiral Sims, speech in London he is reported as saying that those in this country who sympathized’ with the Irish in their struggle for lber- ty were jackasses. If Sims is right, those who sympathized with Cuba in her battle for Indep&ndence were jack- asses.

P. A. started in this country about forty yeurs aga. a society that was especially bilter against the Irish people: ©The’ third Sims is Admiral Sims. Those: three are enough alike to be father and son and grandson. They loved’ Bngiand, hated Ireland, and were ready to harm this country by ‘making trouble among its people. Is there anything in the constitu- tion’ of the United States’ that * says, that those who sympathize: with the Irish are jackasses? It was wrong for the Germans to catry on warfare like this in 1914. Why is it not wrong 'for the English to adopt. these tactics in 1921. I think Admiral Sims should be relieved of his’ command and sent !back to England, the land he says he loves so dear. He has ‘not the first principles of an American citizen.
