Experiment Shows Brain Makes Light (By International News Service.) Laboratory experiments proving that the human brain radiates light and that when exposed to sun shine or to the rays of a quartz lamp tiie brain increases its rad iant activity have been completed and the results published by Dr. Max de Crinis, professor of Neurol ogy in the University of Graz. The Grazer professor':; experi ments have incited a violent debate among the) scientists of Central Europe ever the practical aplication of the discovery. On the one hand it declared that obvious application is that sunshine on the skull should accelerate the mental process. On the cthc-r hand it is pointed out that should this be true, then the ne groes cf Central Africa ought to possess the most brilliant intellects of the human species, Professor de Crinis made hit ex periments from recently dead men In a aeries of cases he laid the brains upon photdgraphic plates placed in dark roems.

Distributors-Shelby, N. C. Pittsburg May Adopt Sanity Test To Curb Underworld Crime Wave: (By Regis Curran. INS Staff Car respondent. ) Pittsburg—The underworld oi Pittsburg today faces the possibility pi a sanity test inquisition similar to that instituted by Chicago au thorities against the criminal frat ernity of the middle-west metro polis . Events of Jcrime have established Pittsburg's notoriety as a "tough" city. Murders, gang warfare, ven dettas, bootleggers' feuds, bombings —Pittsburg has experienced them ail. and the police record reveal the proof. Police Chief Michael Hughes of Chicago, has ordered all gangsters, gunmen, and bootleggers picked up by the police, to be examined ns to their mental soundness. Superintendent cf Police Peter P. Waisli of Pittsburg thoroughly ap proves of Hughes' plan, and if it proves successful in Chicago, Walsh said he would not hesitate to pro ceed similarly against the law breakers of the steel city. “We hope to defeat the misuse of the habeas corpus writ,” Chief Hughes of Chicago, has been quoted es saving in regard to the mental tests. '»n cauy i sea i esis Superintendent Walsh declared the Pittsburg police already have used the sanity test in this man ner. An ex-pdiicerhan, arrested on a charge cf writing threatening let ters to his former superiors, was held for mental observation in the city hospital to thwart efforts of the prisoner’s attorney to release him under bond pending a hearing. During the past year Pittsburg lias approached Chicago in noto riety incurred by the escapes of its criminal. Here are testaments to Pittsburg's “toughness." In downtown Pittsburg in front of one of the city's leading theaters, two gangs, said to belong to rival political factions, exchanged re volver shots, hammered each other with fists, bU!ck.iacksfcand other ;n struments. It occurred just as the curtains closed on the evening per formances; and hundreds of startled, law-abiding citizens looked on in be wildered fear. A few' days before that episode a man in the Hill district was slain. He was the sixth recent victim of a bootleggers’ feud. A week befere, Paul Jaworski and John Vasbinder, convicted murder ers:. aided by a visiting gunman, shot their way to freedom from the county jail located in the heart of Pittsburg. Two prison guards were , wounded. Crime Record Jaworski was a member of a I gang which a few months before bombed an armored paycar and es caped with SlOOOOiF payroll. The gar? "planted" explosive in’the road and set it oil just as the pay car and its armored escort were passing the spot. Miraculously, all in the armor ed cars escaped death. From time tc time during the past year, houses and buildings in the city proper have been damaged by berttb:, .and explosions attributed sometimes to vendettas of secret organizations, and ether time* to exploding stills. Several persons have been killed by unknown assailants who speed ed away m an automobile after emptying the deadly spray from a sawed-off shotgun into the body of the victim. These are only some of the crime chapter, theft occurred. In the fu ture. however, if the mental tests prove a success, the annals of criminals here may not be filled with ;o many daring and danger ous exploits. Roosevelt Junior „ is ‘Making Faces’ Charlotte News. The Republicans know what they arc doing in getting Colonel Roose. velt to stage an attack v:pon Al Smith. They hope thoroughly to encom pass the political downfall of the New York governor for the reason that they are very much frightened by the spectacle of his shadow fall ing across the 1928 presidential cam paign. Knowing, as they do. the severe opposition to Gcvernor Smith as a presidential candidate which he must overcome .within the ranks of his own party, they are intending to pile burdens upon him from all tides to the end that he may be buried under an avalanche, of op position both from withn and from without. Governor Smith has many liabil ities and it looks now as IX the op posing Vding within his own party will do its best to inform yie coun try about them $hat he may not be further enthroned. But. as one is saying, after a man has ruled a great state for many years arid proved his worth to the I general satisfaction, it seems too i bad that an old and illustrious, party of the opposition can hit upon jno other form cf comment then to ‘end a bad boy like the colonel ; around making ' aces.
