Professor Voronoff has made old men seem younger with the help of monkey* gland*, has made science take him seriously. Now he proposes to create sup* ermen, such as Nietsche dreamed of, by using of exceptional talent. He believes that he will create genius such as earth never saw, in the children of children thus treated. The old-fashioned will believe that if monkeys could help create finer men, Nature and wise Providence would have called on the mon* keys long ago. Also a race of supermen is just what the world does not want. Tall men like short women, thin women admire fat men, genius marries mediocrity, all proof that < Nature wants us to march along side by side about even, A\ot a few far ahead of the others, or riding on the backs of in feriors. Those that run risks today will have contributed to absolute ' sale flying in the future. Lindbergh says flying overland with a good pilot and machine is safer now than automobiling. , Better machines will soon make ocean flights as simple and safe as a flight over the English Channel, for which Northcliffe, a few years ago, offered a $50,000 prize. Moving pictures show Lionel Barry more holding the red-hot branding iron, Aileen Pringfle providing the snow-white shoulder and quivering flesh to which the "red-hot" iron will be applied. Thousands, "shuddering at this branding, will hardly realize that such tortue would have been considered natural a few years ago. Men were skinned alive, impaled on sharp shafts and left dying for hours. At the time of Henry the Second, a workman was branded on the cheek with a hot iron, if without permission he left his parish to find work in a not her.t I hose Henry the Second workmen may comfort united coal mine workers of America, forbidden by court injunction to interfere with the Pittsburg Terminal Coal Corporation's open shop. That injunction and others like it will do a good deal to make unions powerless. But it isn't as bad as going out of your parish to look for work.

I A British lady doctor, Dorothy I Cochrane Logan, swims the English t hannel in 13 hours and 10 minutes, cutting Gertrude Ederle's record by 1 hour, 24 minutes. This does not mean eclipsing the Ederle achievement. It all depends on wind, tide and waves, as you know if you have sailed across that rough, mean choppy stretch of water. Similarly the man who dies with a "big jiame" and ^millions has, not necessarily beaten the record *of some poor deviL-ervding in the Potters' field. An ttejfends on the kind of sailing each had on life's water. In Los Angeles last week, Max S. Hayes, farmer-labor candidate for Vice-President in 1920, told the American Federation of Labor it ought t ostart a labor party in 1928. President Green, of the Federation, knows that failure is no good advertisement, and will not advise p step that would mean n miserably poor showing and hurt the prestige of organized labor. Union men know that one of two candidates will win the 1928 election, and they j will reserve the right to vote for the j one they consider the better man.# Every, year there are borne Germany 15,000 pairs of twin.4, '?00 sets of triplets.
