Charm gets into clothes in the way you care for them.

The last comes first. Lack of, or unsympathetic, expression never gives that warm feeling which victimises the charme, how- over beautiful the face may be.

Mra. Smith has certain charm which she transmits to the people who stipulate her Interest of affection. Or she may cultivate it on a large public, so that she gets the best-and avoids the jars-from all social contacts.

A few people- the super-salesmen, the big-talk dictators, the small-time politicians, the actor (or actress) magnates, the "great characters" com- mercialise it.

INTELLIGENCE

By Dr. H. L. Cattell

(P. S. King, Jr. Gd.)

ALF the population will he mentally-defective, accord- ing to Dr. Cattell, in three hundred years' time. Woe, for the

British Empiret Woe, for Western civilization!

But before you rend your raiment and scatter nähes on your unworthy heads, read him—and save yourself the bother.

-For-it-onu's-opinton, of his book is any measure of one's "Intelligence Quotient." I must have a parlously low

"1Q"

The more so because I cannot grasp his meaning of the word * average (which is naturally of prime import- anco in relation to intelligence, since his findings must stand or fall by when he calls himself in "average Bucinilst."

The fairest thing I can sny is that eller I do not know the meaning of "average" or he does not know the meaning of "socialist."

He anttelpates this kind of criticism by saying. "The statement that the poor are on the average of lesser men- lal capacity has aroused a storm of political feelings even among scientists from whom one hoped better things,"

These scientists, of course, are those who have produced facia to disprove his-liko. Professor J. L. Gray an Pearl Moshinsky, who, after testing more than 10,000 chilldren of all classes. froin unskilled labourers to wealthy businem nien, showed that 80 per cen of the able and highly-intelligent chill- dren were to be found in the ele- mentary schools.

Nearly half the children of the other classes fell below the standard 'of uullity

Gray and Mushinsky showed, too, that 75 per cent. of the clever cle mentary school children were debarred higher education, although only half the fee-paying children in secondary schools were equal in intelligence to the scholarship children.

So Dr.

Cattell, this

"average Socialist," in making his case that the pour arg poor because most of them are nit-wita, "takes issue with the emphasis and conclusions of the ex- tenatve intelligenco test survey of Gray and Moshinsky."

**The percentage of the population going through secondary schools and universities," he says, "is fixed by

As far as I can judge from Dr. Callell, it is precious little good clear- ing away slums, since the poor, taking their low average intelligence with them, cannot possibly appreciate the And the whole object of the School Medical Services is mis- gulded because nutrition does not affect intelligence, nor do those ade- nalds, tonsils and so forth on which school M.Os waste their time.

(other than 80 that Socialists "average") who argue for school-food- ing are merely admitting their own low "İQ."

Many people point to oligarchie Germany, where the community acta boldly upon the wisdom of the biologist and medical men, and where eugenic laws are instantly put into operation." Of course, political dissentients

Major Darwin frankly disagrees with the tenour of the book. Can anyone deny," he asks, "that the quality of the homo leaves some permanent effects on the quality of the persons born therein?"

He also accepts the author's finding that the less intelligent children are found in larger families than the more intelligent.

"The most obvious explanation is that the larger the family the poorer the home, is greater poverty leaving an indelible stamp on those suffering from the consequent inferior education and nutrition.

Public page about the Prosecutor, and it is almost easier to understand the confessions than the commissariats.

But the problem is now at least par- tially solved by this informed, unpro Judiced book which tells a graphic story of the building of a model city, the education its population, the organisation of its finances and its in- dustries in a manner never previously attempted.

The authors---Sir Ernest Biman, Lady Bimon, Dr. W. A., Robson and Pro- Iessor Jowkes-spent a month la Moscow; their guides, the offelals of the City and the monumental Soviet ‚Communism by the Webbs.

Ench of them investigated separately one aspect of Moscow He-and each has brought back a report which will fascinate the general reader and be Invaluable to the student of local gOV- ernment, not Irant for the iluminating compartions with English conditions.

Excellent as are the other sections (notably those on education, housing.

and the ten-year plan), the most antis- factory contribullon is that of Dr. Rob- son's on "The City Government of Moscow."

In this he examines the actual con- stilution and administration of the municipal authorities, the opportun!- ties they provide for democratic action and the repressive limitations inherent in the system.

The manner in which Moscow is be- ing made again "takes away one's breath," he says frankly. "But there is another aldo to the matter. It re quires personnt vial to appreciate

He becomes in the vivid phrase colned by boxers themselves- "punch-drunk."

In the ring he gets beaten with comparative case. This puts his price down and consequently drives him to take more and more engage ments while he can still command them. He aims at the mark and hits the ribs. He sees a blow coming and dodges into I instead of away from it.
