Less Brain, Better Sense. A Louisville woman, aged 35, had a tumor cut out of that part of her brain with which she did her thinking. To the astonishment of Louisville's Dr. Roy Glenwood Spurting who operated and Dr. S. Spafford Ackerly who managed the case thereafter, the woman exhibited better sense after the operation than ever before-her intelligence tests prove her an average U. S. adult.

Years ago the Merrills, Danas and Dockerys all moved in the same social circle of Natchez. "Dick" Dana, a gay young blade, suddenly retired to "Glenwood," his family's 90- year-old plantation home, a quarter mile from "Glenburney."
