LONDON, Oct. 30.—The American
Constitution is all wrong, according to
Dr. Cyril Burt, president of the psy

“All men are created equal,” says
the American Constitution.
“All men are created unequal,” says
Dr. Burt.
“In the psychological sense, as dis
tinguished from the political, not only
are men created unequal, but the ex
tent of the inequality surpasses any
thing heretofore conjectured. In a
survey of 30,000 cases in a London
borough it was found that the mental
ratio of children might vary from 50
per cent below normal to 150 per cent
above. The brightest child level of an
average child of fifteen. A dullard
had the mental level of a child of five
or less.”

DETROIT, Nov. 1.—“Henry Ford
does not announce his candidacy for
the presidency because he is afraid it
will be as great a fiasco as his peace
ship plan,” Senator Cousens declared
last night, at a dinner given by the
Detroit Republican Club.
During his address Cousens referred
to Ford as a “loveable man.” and de
clared he loved Ford as much as ant
man could love another, but ’’When
Ford differed with me on an amend
ment for beer, which I proposed to
insert in the Volstead Act, and says
that I know better than to propose
such an amendment, he challenges
my integrity and sincerity.”
Couzins declared Ford has never re
covered from his defeat as a candi
date for the Senate, and “for a man
so politically ambitious he has made
more unfulfilled statements than any
other man in America.”

is Carnation
so good with coffee?
Because it has twice as much butterfat as whole milk and
possesses that creamy flavor of milk purity. Its double richness
imparts to coffee a taste which, thousands say, cannot be sur
passed.
To really know Carnation, use it in your coffee, on fruits and
cereals and for all other milk and cream uses. Ask your dealer
to deliver a supply today. Give Carnation a fair trial and
realize it is the only milk needed for your household.
