emed to be associated with some phyeal characters, as for example a "fiery" mperament with red hair. Some of these physical characters are racial, or (like red hair seem to result from crossing of racial elements. The analogy from the artificial election of the breeds of domesticated animals indicates that it is possible to enhance or combine mental qualities. Professor Myres went on to point out that the older ethnologists characterized racial types by mental as well as physical characters. The individual has a postnatal experience as well as a pre-natal quipment, and in investigation it might be difficult to eliminate disturbing factors. Professor Myres stated, however, that he ..mself had found that the offspring of British fathers and Greek mothers brought ip in a Greek environment differed as markedly from pure Greeks in their attitude toward discipline and labor as they did in physique, temperament closely following breed. In summing up the problem, Professor Myres said that the ethnologist, and, in particular, the social anthropologist, must define more clearly the elementary terms in their characterization, while the psychologist must go further in laboratory work on such complex manifestations as the sense of right or wrong," irrespective of race or breed. Dr. C. S. Myers, president of the Psyhological Section, said that the chief determinants controlling mental characters aere heredity and environment. On the physical side environment-climate, temperature, food supply, and the like-acted directly and indirectly, especially on the internal secretions which affect the functions of the emotions. Environment must have played an important part in producing ich differences as distinguished Americans, Australians, and New Zealanders; but it was not known with certainty how Eese differences came about, or how permanent they were likely to be. Different parts of the same country exhibited disnguishing characteristics. WARNING: BEWARE OF SWINDLERS!

Second, that in my short stay in Moscow I had an opportunity to talk with the real invest time, technical experience and money in Russia it would be necessary to have proof of Russian good faith in the shape of restitution for private American property seized in the acute revolutionary period, which is now terminated. I do not mean, of course, that Russia must immediately repay everything in cash; but some form of compensation by a funding scheme or otherwise is a sine qua non if they want American cooperation. I told them this straight, and I may say that the suggestion appeared less of a shock to them than I had been led to expect. INCORPORATING A DUKE leaders of Russia, Trotzky, Kameneff, THE break-up and transfer of large Tchitcherin, and others. Third, that I was able to talk to them quite frankly and without mincing words. Not one American in ten thousand, concludes Mr. Bush, has any idea of the order and generally good conditions prevailing cere. in Russia, and he believes that the leaders there are intelligent, courageous and sinTurning to the immediate prospects of Russo-American business, Mr. Bush continues: It seems that America on the whole is not a market for such commodities as Russia is now able to produce. We will take their furs and caviar, but their market for grain, flax, etc., is Europe. Similarly, it is likely that Russia will prefer to buy what she needs for the next few years in the cheaper markets of Germany, England and the rest of Europe than in America. But, if you consider the physical and economic aspects of Russia, you see at once what opportunities there are for American capital, enterprise, initiative and technic. This country to-day, speaking broadly, is in the same position as America sixty years ago, with immense undeveloped natural resources. Nothing could be more valuable to Russia than American cooperation, based on our own experience in this work of development. I find that, thanks to the American Relief Administration, Russians not only have a friendly and grateful feeling toward America, but a profound conviction that Americans are "on the level" and prepared to play fair with Russia, and that when they give their word they keep it. This sentiment is even more important than the general idea on the part of Russians that the admission of American enterprise to Russia is not dangerous because America has no political or territorial aspirations to any part of Russian territory, such as might be entertained by some great European Powers. But there is one thing these people have to learn, which I did my utmost to put before the leaders in the most direct terms, namely, that they can not expect American cooperation until they regain American land holdings is one of the most notable results of the war in England. A peculiar incident in this movement is the announcement that the Duke of Buccleuch and his son, the Earl of Dalkeith, are to float a private joint-stock company for the arquisition of certain of the Buccleuch estates. The Nation's Business (Washington, D. C.) quotes these facts from the Manchester Guardian Weekly: The Duke and the Earl are to be sole principals of the company, which has a nominal capital of £100,000, divided equally into preference and ordinary shares of £1 each, and is to carry on the business of managing and developing estates and of farmers, graziers, sheepfarmers, and stock-owners. The estates to be acquired are in the counties of Edinburgh, Roxburgh, Selkirk, and Dumfries. These include three principal residences, among them Dalkeith House, where Royalty has frequently been entertained. The Duke has in all five residences, and the remaining two are Boughton House, a mansion in Northamp tonshire, and his London residence, 2 Grosvenor Place, S. W. According to one authority, the Duke's estates in Scotland consist of round about 400,000 acres. In Dumfries are 250,000 acres, in Roxburgh 100,000, in Selkirk nearly 6,000, in Edinburgh County approximately 3,000. These possessions stretch over large areas of hunting and fishing country, and contain a fair proportion of agricultural land. In addition there i considerable mineral wealth in County Edinburgh. He is also the owner considerable land in England, principally in the Midland and Home Counties. . . O The duke has made a statement "whic shows the burdens per pound of rental after deducting management, maintenance and repairs. These range from 5s. 6d in the pound in 1912 up to 19s. 7d. in the pound in 1920." The dukedom was created in 1663, and the Buccleuchs have for many centurie been reputed to be one of the riches families in the land, and many stories o the fabulous wealth of the present Duke father were current.

Readers will please bear in mind that no notice will be taken of anonymous communications. L. P. R.," West Hartford, Conn.-Feel and kin such expressions as, "I feel badly," "You Jok nicely," have no reference to action but do specifically refer to a condition or appearance. For this reason the adjectives bad and nice should be used instead of the adverbs badly and nicely. With reference to such terms as look, smell, tive, Dr. James C. Fernald ("English Grammar Simplified," p. 212) says: "We need to note Carefully whether the reference is to the subject or to the verb. If the reference is to a quality of the bed, use the adjective; as, that hat looks pty; the flowers smell sweet; this fruit tastes d; I feel hot; you look sad. But, if the reference is to the manner of the action, use the adverb; as. t-looked closely at the signature: he smelt suspisly the odor of the medicine." "C. J. D.."

Measurement by count is expressed by few, measurement by quantity by little; as, "The loss of a few soldiers will make but little difference to the ult."

Little, less and least are used of objects that are spoken of in belk.-Vizetelly, Desk-Book of Errors in English, R. L. T.." Newark, O.-By some purists the sentence, "The times were every way hard," might be condemned for an unnecessary ellipsis, "in every way" being the strictly grammatical form, but numerous instances may be cited from classic English in which "every way" is used without in." See Shakespeare, Julius Cæsar, act iv, scene 3: "You wrong me every way: You wrong me. Brutus!" In fact, this form found favor with e Bard of Avon, for it occurs repeatedly in his works. See Merry Wives of Windsor, act v, scene 3 Much Ado About Nothing, act i, scene 3: Midmer Night's Dream, act i, scene 1; Fielding in Tom Jones writes of a lady whose 'mind was my way equal to her person." Carlyle in his Miscellanies, volume I, p. 169, speaks of "a wide and every way important interval." Because ellipses tend at times to obscure the meaning of a sentence, they should be avoided, but in view of the instances cited above, this particular form may be considered as an estab-bed idiom. "G. W. G.," Lovettsville, Va.-In the sentence cited, the word enough may be placed either before ar after thousands, either position being grammatIrally correct-" They are working day and night turning out thousands of cars, but not enough thousands to supply the demand." The Lexiegrapher, however, would prefer to place it after rather than before thousands, and in this is supported by the NEW STANDARD DICTIONARY.
