The Democratic party, its leaders believe, was brought within sight of their goal of a return to power, but now that party appears lead- | erless. : William McAdoo in his relations with the Doheny in- DETROIT Kresge Bldg. igrests appears to have been engaged in the legitimate busi-| ; ness of his profession and certainly had no part in the Teapot Dome affair, Some other charges of his appearance before his own or Wilson appointees have not been well explained. Admittedly, however, Mr. McAdoo’s “availability” has de. clined to a point of “low visability” and the chances of his nomination are remote. Former Governor James E. Cox is willing but Cox failed in 1920, and a loser'is not often picked again, although Wil- liam Jennings Bryan is a notable exception. Senator Ral- ston of Indiana has gained favor but is not an.outstanding figure and is nearing the point in age where the country would hesitate to trust him with the great burdens of the presidency. Al Smith of New York is “wet” and that alone probably prevents him from obtaining the nomination and certainly makes his election doubtful. Former Ambassador to England James W. Davis of W. Virginia is an out- standing Democrat, a fine personality and has an unblem- ished record. But his abilities have won him the position of counsel to great interests, and with the Democrats in Congress flirting with the radicals it is hardly likely that they would turn to Davis at their New York convention. Sen. Underwood is of the south and his candidacy has not made much headway. Thus the whole field of Democratic possibilities—includ- ing William Jennings Bryan’s favored president of the Uni- versity of Florida—fails to disclose an outstandig candidate for the presidency. Unless some Democrat can uncover a cenrdidato more striking than the one proposed by Mr. Boron, it is extremely doubtful if the Democrats at their New Yor convention will be able to select a man who can ur‘tc all the eloments of a party which includes the Bryan “Crys,” the Tammany Hall “wets,” the “solid south’ and other discordant elements. SAYS EVE WAS 119 FEET TALL Eve in. the Garden of Eden was 119 feet tall, according to M. Henrion’s estimate. He was an expert on giantism. Un- fortunately, he left no detailed records showing how he fig- ured the thing out. “There were giants in those days.” Northern France once had a man named Goyin to be 22 feet tall. He is a mythological chavsc there must have been an actual basis to the myth. you have seen Gayant’s statue in Douai, Antwerp claims Antigonius, one of its ancient residents. was 40 feet tall. Gog and Magog, who terrorized the south- western coast of England, have statues in London showing them towering 14 feet above the grou ~.. Ancient Egypt had the other extreme—a dwarf named Philetas, so small that he had Keep the wind from blowing him away. - “Strenuous Jeffery” Hudson, son of a huge English ‘ybutcher at Oakham, was only a foot and a half tall. He was served in a pie at a dinner given to King Charles I. Later he‘became a cavalry captain and fought two duels. SS repyted z repute! Maybe All these giants and dwarfs, of course, were exceptions. It is phenomenal, how nature standardizes us, makes us so much alike in physique, with the giant or dwarf a rare ex- ception. 9 Nature adapts our bodies to our environments—changes us physically to make us fit in most efficiency in the average every-day life of the civilization in which we live. Life has changed in the last few centuries, and so have people. It has recently been demonstrated, by measuring armor, that people 400 years ago were smaller than we of today. , Nature’s alterations of her human blueprints. take place only over long periods of time. But gradually she applies to us the same system by which she takes the eyes from fish in underground rivers, which need no eyes. Similarly, the giraffe got its neck lengthened so it could nibble the more nourishing leaves at the tops of trees. People 500 years from now undoubtedly will be a lot dif- ferent than people today. Nature will change their bodies to | fit their environments and mode of life. They’ll probably run to heads, since mechanical progress is tending to make strong limbs unnecessary. MEMORY OF FATHER Captain Stuyvesant Peabody, son of the deceased coal “magnate of Chicago, in memory of his father pays the ex- jpenses of making a movie film showing miners the latest in Mine - rescue and first-aid methods. Uncle Sam will help eirculate this film to miners in the leading coal fields. ; As a memorial, this film isa thousand years in advance of the customary tombstone. If the dead could speak, they’d spy: “Take the money and spend it on any good cause.” } SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS A shortage of young doctors, to serve as internes at hos-! pitals, is becoming acute.
