The result is a great-deal.of floundering Andrew Ba- Journal of Psychology, of showing how feggy is recent German thinking on the subject of race superiority. A German follower of Hitler always asserts that, whatever anthropologists may say, a race can be defined in the terms of \psychics and physics -- the minds and bodies, modes of thinking and outward looks. The dilettantish Hans F. K. Guenther is followed, his "Rassenkunde des Deutschen Volkes" having become the anthropological gospel of Germany He becomes rhap- sodical, "The soul of the Nordic is as fair as his body." When the blue-eyed blonds began to preen themselves on their Nordic souls simply because of their fair skin and to set up within the chosen but mixed "Aryans'>a still more cho- gen caste the government = thought it time to step 'in. The Department of Popular Political Enlightenment and Race Consclouness decried the "craze for blondness" and warned against "racial vanity and family "sonceit." More stress began to be laid on the mythical Nordic "soul" and the sup- posed ability. denied to other strains, to think coolly, logically and thorough- ly, to dominate, to invent and to or- points out Mr, Baker, these qualities are precisely the ones assigned by so good a geneticist as Lenz to the Jews. Sp The second commandment of the tability of race, no matter what the anthropologists may have proved ab- out racial impurity and the instability' of man as a biological species. Here- dity is everything, environment no- thing, according to this conception. Adfthropologists, on the other hand, make it plain that while a Mongol cannot change his slant eyes and his yellow skin, he can nevertheless be- come socially a European merely by Hving with Europeans and learning their ways, If Western negroes were deported to the African jungles whence they came they would be as socially miserable ag white men. Yet Holler thinks that he reduces the be- lief of environmenta! influence to absurdity when he says that "Amerl- cans ought to be American Indians if there is any truth to this view." But others realizing the hollowness of Holler's: method of reasoning, fly to Lamarck, in whose doctrines very few biologists helieve. Baker points out the dilemma: Two compromises are being offered: (a) differentiation between race and species --- an artificial differentiation; (b) assumption of the lieredity of ac: an-wnproven concept. A third Nazi tenet is that the "Ar- yan" branch of the whito race Is sup- erior to all others in {ts capacity tor civilization, conquest being one of the 'evidences of superior endowment, The best minds in (fermany swallow 'Hitler's dictum ("Mein Kampf') that "human culture on the European con- tinent Is insepavable from the exist- ence of the Aryan," nofwithstanding the cultural dominance of the Moors in Europe at a time when the Nordics- were unwashed, who were regarded as an inferior stock by the Mediterranean peoples. The "Hitler gospel has had reper- cussions abroad -- notably in Japan-- with which Germany wolud like to remain on the friendliest terms be- cause of fhe supposed Russian men- ace -- with the result that Frick, the Minister of the Interfor, had to issue this ukase!

The only demand to be stressed is that increasing influence of foreign blood over German be prohibited by all Baker summarizes: While it has been officially declar- ed that derogation of other races must he avoided, the opposite view is maintained with equal strength. Open contraciction is the present status. Lastly, wo have the doctrine that culture and race are synonymous and that a culture declines when the races mix -- this despite the immense am- ount of historical and anthropological 'evidence to the effect that cultures flourish best when the races {nter- mix. Baker makes the point that Uer- mans deliberately misinterpret eugen- fes to make {it synonymous with, the racial purity, Karl Pearson, leader of the eugenic movement after Galton, was not concerned with rages or mix- tures of races, but solely with social fitness. But in Germany it is assumed that racial mixtures are bad, despite the fact that there is not a pure hu- "man race In existence anywhere and that the Germans themselves are mon- grels, "If o composer discusses his work before It is completed he has a feel ing that the public is looking over his ignorant barbarians |. =\ vio, "a itd asia SAHA 5 AH A odin a esa KE ICED TEA fortes Cabin: YG hot 4 og bd oF mon brink a wil Ching ina dg Fd Api dy in in All Circumstances" Not long ago an assistant in a beauty parlor told me that one of her "patients" had come to her in a'quan- dary, writes Joan Beringer in the London Daily Mail. That evening she had to entertain to dinner a woman whose dark, mysterious beauty made her, a blue-eyed blonde, feel as green, as unsophisticated as a schoolgirl. "Can't you make me look the vamp too?" she asked. The masseuse told her how impos- sible it was for a woman of her type to imitate one so different. Instead, she gave hergza suntan 'make-up against which her blue eyes shone brilliantly, and a make-up so radiant- ly healthy that her vitality was com- pelinglly attractive. Next day, flowers arrived at the salon for that masseuse. Evidently her work was successful! Personality Lasts Pondering on this story, I asked Miss Yvonne Arnaud, whose wit and charm draw playgoers to see what- Lever show she is in, for her opinion of the value of personality to the wo- man who wants. to be really attrac- tive. "It's parently that' lasts," she said at once. "A clean, fresh, healthy skin, clever make-up. ... Yes, all that is essential.. But the girl who has only surface beauty will have initial suec- cesses only; always she will be dropped for other women, perhaps plainer, but more amusing," more © in- teresting. - "We don't read history sufficiently these days. If we did, we would rea- lize that the women whose names we know as famous beauties were not al- ways outstandingly good-looking. But they had strong minds, strong charac- ters, and they knew how to develop their personalities so that few people, and no men, could withstand their charm.

Charm of Manner Is A Woman's Great Attribute Yvonne Arnaud's Advice Is, "Above All Be Perfectly Natural ordained that they shall be fresh, charming, open-air girls, with healthy skins and active bodies. Be Yourself "'Be yourself' is the message I would 'like to give every girl. Find but your type, dress, make-up, and behave accordingly. To copy, to mimic, is nothing; to be original is always attractive. "Admit your defects, make the best of them, and don't worry about them, I myself cannot get thin, for dieting makes me ill and exercise doesn't affect me. But does it mat ter? Concentrate on your good points, and forget your bad ones! "Too many people dwell on their defects, and become self-conscious about them. That is fatal to one's poise; it saps the self-confidence which is essential if one is to go out and about successfully in the world. "Don't think too much about your- self. Become interested in other people -- interested not in their opinion of you, but in themselves. In this way you will welcome their con- _versation, their confidences, and there vou will score, for there is no woman more popular than the good listener.

Oysters Change Sex From Year to Year OTTAWA--In the oyster world along the Atlantic coast of North America, the males and females in- terchange as between the sexes from year to year..In any one year a male may be a 'female and the next year the female may become a male. This change in sex has been under obser- vation by the Biological Board of Canada for the past six years in con- nection with one of the oyster beds along the Prince Edward Island coast, .and it has been found that the oysters can and do chan- their sex from year to year. It is the opinion that the oysters tend first to mature as males and later change to females, and that probably each year a. few female oysters change to -males.-During the period, the females increased in greater proportion than the males. In 1931, 62 per cent were males and 26 per cent females, but by 1984, 76 per cent were females and only 22 per cent males. The re- mainder were doubtful as to sex.

Angels wear dresses. They wear dresses and go to sce Jesus." Mother said yes, that was right. "Byt," she added, "I guess some angels would rather go without clothes. Boy angels maybe."

In the British Empire, however, the trend 'has been in the opposite dirce- tion, 'the area under oats now stand- ing higher than at any time during the period 1928-35. This is chiefly due, states the. Imperial Economic Com- mittee's report on Grain Crops, to the continuous increase in Canada since 1931. Of the 18,800,000 acres sown to ats in the British Empire in 1934, Canada had 13,730,000 acres. The area sown in foreign countries was 117,270,000 acres, making a-world "total-of -136,- 160,000 acres, and "showing a decline in the world area sown to oats of 10,060,000 acres, compared with 1928. The progressive acreage in Canada is shown by the following figures: 12,840,000 acres in 1931; 13,150,000 acres in 1932; 13,630,000 acres in 1933; 13,730,000 acres in 1934; 14,- 096,200 acres in 1935, and 14,150,000 (provisional estimate) in 1936. * World production in oats has fallen below the level of 1928-30. The Unit- ed States, as: first among the world producers of oats, has been replaced by Russia. In Empire trade Canada retains her place as principal produc- er and exporter of oats. Indeed, in Empire trade, the Canadian exports of oats and the United Kingdom im- ports are "the principal features of that trade. Normally, the United Kingdom is the largest world import- er of oats, but she lost that place in 1934 to Switzerland and Italy for the time being. As already stated, Can- ada continues to be the chief Empire supply of oats, almost the only sup- ply, it might be said, because the Irish Free State, once an important factor, now sends only very small quantities.

To walk well are is only one rule --walk on one line and not on two. All this talk about the ball of the foot and shoulder carriage is unneces- sary, for you could not possibly walk on two lines and this causes them to wahble from side to side. By walking on one line a woman will appear more graceful, and if there is any soft drapery about her costume she will seem almost to float into a room. I know a woman quit: short and heavy, who, by walking on one line, gives such an impression of per- fect control of her body that she looks pounds lighter while walking than at any other time.

Immortal Fleas There "Is Doubt That They Lived 3,00 Years in Frozen Siberia Early in the year news came from Russia that Professor P. H. Kara- petov of the Skovorodina Research Institute for the Study of Perpetu- ally Frozen Regions had discovered in the permanently frozen soil of Northern Siberia insects which, though inanimate for 1,000 to 3,000 vears, came to life when thawed out. Biologists were skeptical. And justly so. Information which has been ve. ceived from Russia by Dv.- D. N. Borodin of New York, and which he passes on to this comentater males it plain 'that there is still room for doubt. It turns out that the correspon- dents were misled by the term "water fleas." Actualy Profesor Kar- apetov unearthed spores of fungi, mos _algge and egs of the Daphnia species, Which last are minute crus- taceans like crabs and are not in- sects at all. The professor dug down about 13 feet and chopped out limps of frozen earth which he .put into sterilized jars with sterilized water. After nature had taken her course at normal temperatures the algae started to grow. Other plants follow ed. Finally the egs of Daphnia hatch ed out several hundred infinitesmal crustaceans. These reproduced. Fin- ally ten generations were flourishing for the benefit of the binlowmists. Three thousand years old! It is too much to believe. Who can be sure that in all those centuries the soil was like a rock, frozen so solid that noth- ing could seep in from above? And what about deposits? And eracks? The believers point to the 'mam- moth discovered years ago in Nor- thern Siberia. It, too, was frozen solid. In its stomach were still the leaves and grass that constituted its they could be botanically identified. It is said that even the meat could be eaten. But the doubters still shake heads. Frozen mammoths are not live the Modern Scheme The streamlined bathtub has ar- rived. It is announced that will be exhibited for the first time at the na- tional plumbing convention in Buffalo next week. The makers explain that the new style in bathtubs is "designed to harmonize with modern types of construction and architecture." We take it that the reference is to new styles in building and not to any revolutionary changes in the construction and architecture of the human chassis, which must fit into the new tubs. It is a 'omparatively simple task to alter the general shape and design of bathtubs, but quite an- other matter to mold the anatomy of some of us to proportions which fit neatly into a streamlined tub. Pos- sibly the manufacturers should adopt as an advertising slogan "Shapely tubs for shapely people," thereby avoiding any complaints from pur- chasers about misfits. Incidentally, the makers should' be complimented on their commercial candor in announcing this latest con- tribution to the vefinements of civil- ization, which is proclaimed as "a stimulus to the bathtub business." That is delightfully frank, as every- thing connected with bathtubs usually is. But it is just a little disappoint- ing. We had hoped that the real pur- pose behind the streamlining of bath tubs was to promote greater speed in bathing, thus helping to relieve traffic jams in front of bathroom doors both "in homes and boarding liouses. However, high-speed bathing has its dangers unless the new tuhs nave equipped with efficient non-skid de-. vices and hydraulic brakes. Tt is ob- vious that the combination of a picce of Hap and a sire: whine Jalhivh is eng hazordons in he extreme to bathers who are in the habit of step- ving on it. Apart from such risks, the new tubs have much to commend them and regu'ar users doubtless will be kent in such good shape that they will step out of the tub each morning ready to meet all-comers.
