DISPELS THEORY ON MEANING OF HIGH FOREHEAD ‘No Sign of Intelligence,’ Expert Says After Long Study. BY DAVID DIETZ Strloo-Horil Srifnre Editor PHILADELPHIA, April 27.—A high brow, contrary to popular belief, does not always indicate high intelligence. The cavemen of Europe were immigrants from Palestine, where the human race has an unbroken record of more than 100,000 years. Modern man, by worry, fear and too much speed, literally burns up and destroys some of his brain cells and shortens his life accordingly. These were the new and important findings of scientists delivered at today’s session of the American Philosophical Society, America's oldest scientific society, founded by Benjamin Franklin. The scientists devoted a session to a discussion of man himself. It was held in the room in which the society has met for more than a century. Prom the walls, portraits of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and other pioneer members of the society looked down upon the world-famous scientists gathered there. Measured Three Groups The subject of “high brows” was discussed by Dr. Ales Hrdlicha, famous anthropoligist of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington. For more than twenty years Dr. Hrdlicha has been measuring the sizes and shapes of heads as part of his studies of various racial groups. Now, after thirty years, he believes he has amassed evidence to prove that the height of. the forehead has nothing to do with the individual’s intelligence. Dr. Hrdlicha measured three groups. A group of ‘‘old Americans,” men whose ancestors for three generations on both sides had lived in America. The second consisted of northeastern Tennessee mountaineers, among the mast backward groups in the nation. Height Averages Same The third included members ol the National Academy of Science, all world-famous scientists. He found the average height of foreheads for all three groups to be the same. He found that in general white women averaged higher foreheads than white men. How ancient man migrated into Europe from the Near East, perhaps from Palestine, was described by Dr. George Grant MacCurdv of Yale university, who, for forty-two years, has been director of the American School of Prehistoric Research in Europe. Recently the school extended its investigations to Palestine. Dr. McCurdy said ten Neandertal skeletons have already been found in Palestine and that “the work has just begun. Warns Against Worry “The Neandertal culture in Palestine was superior to that of Europe,” he said. “This would lead to the conclusion that the center of the culture was in Palestine. “The use of bronze came faster in the Near East,” he said. “There, man jumped directly from the end of the old stone age, the so-called Mesolithic Period, in the bronze age. The so-called new stone age, such as is found in Europe, did not occur." The warning against the terrific effect of. worry and undue haste upon the human brain was delivered by Dr. George W. Crile, world-famous surgeon of Cleveland. Dr. Crile, discussed the development of the frontal area of the brain and the thyroid gland which are greater in man than in any other animal. The growth of these organs, he said, increased man’s emotional capacities but also increased the potential damage possible by too much emotional activity. Strange Worm Eats Tobacco A;/r itrd l'rr*t ADEL, Ga., April 27.—A strange worm, so far unidentified, has appeared in tobacco in this area recently, attacking tobacco leaving and consuming them rapidly. Twelve acres of tobacco in Berrien county were destroyed in a short time.

COJVTMOT BRIDGE BY W. E. M’KEVNEY Secretary American Bridge League I HAVE noticed that many players think of contract in terms of high card tricks alone. High card tricks are fine, but you need more than aces and kings—you must also have distribution. In your original bids, and in your informatory doubles, pay more attention to distribution. Consider the flexibility of a hand, rather than simply taking into consideration quick tricks. The following hand is interesting from several angles. South, the dealer, passes, West passes. While in the one over one system we will make rather weak third hand bids, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are not allowed to hold cards when bidding originally third hand. North hasn’t enough strength even to consider making a two bid. His original bid should be one spade. Many players will overcall in the East position with two hearts. However, I prefer to double. This immediately tells my partner that I have strength in the other major and that I can handle any response he makes. Future bidding on my part will inform partner that

4A-K-8-7-2 HO ♦ A-Q-J-10-5 *K 4J.9. [™l 10-4 5- S > VA-Q-10. VJ-6 us 9-7-3 ♦ 8-6-3 > - 1 ♦None *Q-10- *A-J-9-6- SOUTH 5-3 *Q-6 ¥B-5-2 ♦ K-9-7-4-2 *B-7-2 22

I would like to go places with that hand, and I do have good distribution for offense. an AFTER the double, South would pass, West responds with two clubs, simply showing four clubs. This is valuable information for East. North's next bid is two diamonds. East could now show his heart suit by bidding two hearts. South has no high card tricks, but his partner has bid spades and diamonds. He has made a third hand bid—but on the next round of bidding, he has chosen to show a second suit and has done that in the face of South’s pass and South’s double. Therefore, the bid of two diamonds by North was very constructive and shows a mighty fine hand. South now can properly reason that North is short in hearts and clubs—or has a stopper in one or the other suits. The queen and one spade will help to fill that spade suit. The diamond suit is solid, it is better to play the hand at diamonds, South reasons, so that the spade suit will provide valuable discards, therefore South bids three diamonds. a a a THIS is all the information that North needs, and he jumps to five diamonds. North, of course, has no trouble making five diamonds, as all he has to lose is a club and a heart. However, at the tables where East doubled and got a club bid from partner, East now is in a beautiful position to take a sacrifice. He knows that his partner holds four clubs, and as North has shown quite a little strength in his bidding, the missing kings probably are located in the North hand. Therefore, East need lose only two spades and possibly only one club. Therefore, East can make a good sacrifice bid of six clubs, figuring tc go down not more than two tricks, which is a good score as his side is not vulnerable, while North and South were vulnerable.
