Ne* Tork.--The nation's intelligence Is being nurtured In its metropolitan areas where women are not bearing enough children to reproduce the population while the peak of fertility is in the farming districts, which are least conducive to fostering intelligence So reported Frederick Qsborn, trustee of the American Museum of Natural History and secretary Of the Galton society of that institution, at the annual meeting of the American Eugenics society. | Basing his figures on the 1930 census, he said farm women produced about 50 per cent more children than would suffice for equal reproduction. In the cities with populations of more than 100,000, on the other hand, only half the number of children necessary for permanent replacement are bora. Attacks Fertility Problem. Mr. Osborn has attacked the prob-, lem of fertility and intelligence froiii" the tri-fold point of view of the regional distribution of the population, the occupational, and the ethnic. The distribution of intelligence, he finds, Is consistent and significant when studied among regional groups. "On the whole," he concluded,* "the Index of cultural-intellectual development bears an inverse relation to tHe' index of fertility. But U»e most important differences in regional groups are to be found between^1 rural and urban districts. Here the results are almost always consistent, the farm, being below the town, the town below the city." The city child, said Mr. Osborn, generally speaking, had a higher intelligence quotient than his country coilsins, yet fewer metropolitan Infants were being brought into the world-- not enough, In fact, as the present rate to preserve the city's population. In support of this statement the speaker said a ratio of 368 children of the ages from birth to four years old to every 1,000 women between fifteen and forty-four years of age must be maintained if the population group Is to be permanently replaced. On the farms, in 1930, this ratio was 545, or 117 more than needed, he said; in the rural nonfarra group the ratio was 471, in the towns from 2,000 to 100.000 it was 341, while the metropolitan ratio stood at only 298. Advanced Mentality. The high states, said Mr. Osborn. show advanced standings In mental tests among children, a low level of mental deficiency as indicated by the army examination, few mistakes in the census and a high circulation of good magazines. "But it is in the distribution of the population by occupational groups that the widest, the most consistent and the most interesting differences in intelligence are to be found," continued the speaker. "Here it has been found that the children of professional men, such as lawyers, doctors, and ministers, have, when considered in large numbers, consistently the highest Intelligence quotient "The offspring of business and clerical fathers rank second highest, the skilled and semi-unskilled worker next, the unskilled laborer next, and the children of the farmer are to be found in the rear of the van." Mr. Osborn said that Washington came first In intelligence, followed by California, Massachusetts, Oregon d Connecticut. Mississippi stood bottom of the list, but <gnly Jd/2 below Louisiana.

The thou> starts to go on and Rainey keeps a sharp lookout for rknidriiu Sebastian does his act, and La Tour mounts the rope to begin her routine. The cannibal act in the adfoining ring are also tfiving their performance. The thin reed pipes that they play are pointed up at the girl on the trapese. SOW OO ON WITH TBS STORY CHAPTER SIX Miss Kelly noticed that the cannibal's instruments were directed at La Tour. "You'd almodt think they were aiming those pipes at La Tour," she . said. Colt nodded. "Yes. And if they were weapons instead of musical instruments--" .( "It would be," Kelly finished, "a j simple matter to hit La Tour with a poison dart." | "Keep an eye on them, Kelly." [Colt got up and started to walk "'Wheu^are you going?" «aw him carry her In. She was in his arms... like the time I caught them together.. .Halney's in there, and Grumps, .and a few others--I know Just who. I want you to go back and get them all out of there -^-except Sebastian." ' "You want Sebastian in thers •lone--with the body of your wife?" "I'll give you five minutes..." Colt tried to persuade him. "1 tried to prevent the murder of you* wife, Flandrln, and I failed. And now--you're asking me to help you kill Sebastian." "It's either him or Kelly, here. You can take your choice." Behind Flandrin's back, Kelly Signalled to Colt that everything was all right. Flandrln turned and Kelly pretended she was frightened, "Mr. Colt--please--do as he says, He'll shoot me if you don't!" "Very well, Flandrln." Colt turned and walked coolly to the wagon containing the other performers. Flandrln waited a .few minutes, then the figures of Rainey. Colt, Clomps and the others slowly filed out of. the wagon. A grim smiU nicked the corners of his mouth as he watched. When all had com« out but Sebastian, he moved Quickly towards the wagon, shoving Kelly In front of him. Sebastian sat with his back to th< door as he bent over the dead bod) of La Tour. There were two. re. ports of a gun as Flandria fllredL Sebastian slumped over, falling oa the still form of the dead girl. There was a maniacal light la Flandrin's eyes. "Now I Ofctt j|i It «mm Thatcher Colt! Thatcher Colt dretted in Sebattian't clothing! iPoted by Jtuthelma Stevem, Adolphe Ueujou and Oreta Nimei) Colt Jerked his head toward the savages. "To keep an eye on those cannibals!" He walked quMcly towards the ring. Kelly's eyes searched the tent top. she started. The tent top bulged inward where something lay on the roof. She ran out. A pair of malignant eyes peered through a small slit In the top of the tent. Flandrin! As La T6ur completed a dangerous turn and ewung back to her pedeetal, he fitted a small blow pipe Into his lips. When it was secure, the thin lethal weapon pointed at his wife. The crowd gasped as one when La tour suddenly collapsed. Her handa loosed slowly on tfet trapeze rope and she slumped forward. Her body hung dangling in the air by the footstrap. The attendants quiokly lowered the trapeze as the excitement in the crowd swiftly mounted. The performers grouped around the inert body. "What made her faint?" asked Rainey. Colt was hurt. "She didn't faint. Get her into, her dressing room-- quick! Make an announcement to the crowd. Rainey. Tell 'em she Tainted -- and accident -- anything. Keep this show going!" Sebastian carried the limp form to the prop tent. The others followed. The band started up and the show was on again. "I suppose." said Colt, after an examination of La Tour's body, "we'd better phone for a doctor. He'll tell you what I'Juat told you-- •and what 4n autopsy will prov^. La Tour is dead of poison inflicted by means of a' dart shot through a blow pipe." "One of them cannibals blew the dart that hit her. I'll swear to that.1 Dugan was excited. "That's probably what the Sheriff will say. By the way, you'd better phone town. Dugan. and get him iip here right away--and the Coroner, too. "Sure." "By the way--what became of Miss Kelly?" Nobody answered. Colt frowned and ran from the tent. He started to circle the Big Tent In search of some clue, when a harsh voice bit out and halted him in his tracks. Flandrin ntood in the doorway of a near.by wagon, a revolver in his hand. "Walk over here!" Colt walked over. Flandrln continued, 'I've nothing against you, Colt--but if you don't do exactly what 'I tell you to do, I'll kill you'." "I never argue with a man who has a gun In his hand. What do you want, Flandrin?" Flandrln turned -and called into the wagon. "Come here!" Kelly appeared in the doorway. "I wanted her in here because thought she might come in handy. I understand she-s been with you long time." Flandrin spoke directly to Colt. His tone became grim "Weil, if you'd like her to keep on workin' for you, you'd better do Just as I say." "What do you want me to do?" A strange light was in Flandrin's eyes. "Sebastian is in the prop tent over there with my wife: v\ in there and show them how tO|- die," he whispered. He fled from' the wagon, leaving Kelly alone withf the two inert figures. Suddenly one figure arose with groan. It was Thatcher Colt; Thatcher Colt dressed in Sebastian's clothing! The commissioners quivered as he dropped Sebastian's' cloak to the ground. Underneath1 was a bullet-proof vest, which be-' longed to the shooting act. i Colt panted. "Those bullets didnt' come through, but they certainly.! knocked the breath out of me!" Kelly, wild-eyed, followctt Colt as* he ran towards the Big Tent, where' the show was in progress. 1 Flandrin, gun in hand, eluded the! guards and dashed madly to the big! centre ring. The crowd, not know-, ing what to expect, became silent.' He grabbed the trapeze rope and' swung nimbly up to the high plat-1 form. Colt and Kelly reached the ring centre as Flandrin hopped onto' the Stand. Colt ran up to Rainey, who stood! pop-eyed, helpless. "Make an an-' nouncement to the crowd, Rainey!"| "W-w-what?" Rainey spluttered.' "Olve me that megaphone!" Colt impatiently grabbed the horn frwn; Rainey's grasp. He leaped up -«nt the wooden dlas. Raising his hand,' he signaled the band to stop playing. He -lifted' the megaphone tOTV his Hps fcnd his clear voice floated1 out over the audience, 'Xadtea -and gentlemen, we have the honor and privilege of offering our. star attraction -- the Greajt - Flandrln, the greatest circus attraction ever presented to the public-- the man whose every performance is a rendezvous with deatht It is positively his last public appearance." A tumultuous ovation rose from the crowd. The cheers rang in Flandrin's ear as he perched on the trapeae bar. He stood, bewildered, as the realisation of the import of Colt's challenge came to him. He looked slowly over the sea of faces below hinp. Time and eternity seemed to hang in the balance... the picture o£ his dead wife floated before him... something snapped in his brain.,.. Colt called through the megaphone, "Are you ready?" "Ready," came the answer. Flan-1 drin stood erect, his arms flinging wide as the revolver dropped from his hands. There was a roll from the drum, then a trumpet blast... Flandrln went into his act...trick upon trick, stunt upon stunt...dangerous. ..death defying.... Colt spoke softly, "The great Flandrin is about to save the state of New York the expense of a murder trial." In the midst of one of his most spectacular stunts, Flandrin suddenly let go of the trapeze. His body, hitherto sure and graceful in its convolutions, became limp and awkward as it hurtled through the air. A great sigh arose from the crowd, then screams. ..and more screams.. .Flandrin's body hit the hard earth and lay still.... Colt turned to Kelly. "This. Kelly, concludes the performance." Kelly followed him silently as be walked out. ' Electric Clocks Go Modem By Flora Lee U*LBCTRIC <a!< modern CLOCKS, the most . time-key oars, have gone dltrarmodern tn style.
