Scientist Crosses Borderland Of Sanity By Chilling Blood Find* All Trace* Of Inhibitions, Morals, Care For Others, And Decency Are Affected; Important Discovery By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE \p;\V HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 7.—By chilling his body to, . * rjv stages of freezing, Sir Joseph Barcroft, one of the) *ld's foremost physiologists, told a Yale audience Monday j L°V,vik a personal excursion into the borderland of insanity, i H, ,.w able to pass beyond r.nej »■ censorship."

Wood Affect# Mind The experiments described show ff(erts on the mind of changes In the blood stream. He tried chilling twice, naked in a freezing room. •In each." he said, "there was a moment when my whole mental outlook altered. As I lay naked In the cold room I had been shivering »mi my limbs had been flexed In a sort of effort to huddle up, and I had been over conscious of the cold. Then a moment came when I stretched out my legs; the sense of coldness passed away.” The nerve censorship had let down. He explained how the nerves in fighting cold draw the blood supply away from the surface. When the censorship let go, the warm blood rushed to the chilled exterior. "Up to the point, he said, at which fhivering ceased, nature fought the situation; my instinct *s.< to be up and about to remain the subject of the experiment; aft er that point I gladly acquiesced, Initiative had gone. On Verge Of Utt Sleep "Doubtless a second and more advanced stage would follow in which inertia would lapse into un consciousness. For I suppose that had the experiment not ended at that point, my temperature would have fallen rapidly, and I was on the verge of the condition of trav elers when they go to sleep In ex treme cold never again to awake. "And I was conscious of other re versions of mental state. There came a general change in mental | attitude. The natural apprehension' I lest some person alien to the ex-1 periment should enter the room and find me quite unclad disap peared—Just as flexion was chang ed to extension, so natural modes- 1 ty was changed to—well, I don't I know what. Clearly one should be cautious about taking these liberties with 1 one's mind, and this is the point. I the higher parts of the centra) nervous system were the first j things to suffer. I Sir Joseph also Inhaled (pr about 30 minutes a seven to eight per cent mixture of air and carbon dioxide, the gas exhaled in breathing. A little carbon dioxide is necessary for life. "If you wish,” said Sir Joseph, "to test in a crude way the effects of having too little carbonic acid in the Wood, pant violently as you can for two minutes, and if you are not fussy in the head at the end of that time I shall be greatly surprised.” Lenoir City Clerk Dies At Age 67 LENOIR, Oct. 7—John M.

Battle Of King’s Mountain By Colonel William H. Waldron, I’nitrd State* Army (Today is the anniversary of the1 Battle of Kings Mountian so the following brief review should be in teresting): In the course of his southern campaign Cornwallis sent Major Patrick Ferguson with 1,100 Brit ish regulars and Tories on a raid towards the Alleghany mountains along the border of the Carolines. He found himself opposed by an elusive force of frontiersmen who led him into Rutherford county and beyond the succor of support ing troops. From north, south and west some 3,000 mountaineers poured in on Ferguson’s command as if drawn to it by a magnet. They were loosely organized under local leaders with Col. William Camp bell in general command. They were untrained in the fine art of war but had a thorough knowledge of Indian fighting tactics, gained through their long contact with the redskins of the frontier. Finding himself outnumbered more than two to one and pressed on all sides, Ferguson titrated eastward. He was finally forced to stop and fight. On the brink of a high mountain precipice with ground sloping off gradually on three sides, Ferguson took up a de fensive position on Kings Moun tain. The bold frontiersmen closed in from the front and on both flanks, pinning him to the ground and leaving no avenue of escape. For a man to go over the high cliffs meant certain death. j On the morning of October i 1780 the Americans attacked and j | the Battle of Kings Mountain was I | on. Fighting Indian fashion, the I only way they knew, each man worked his way through the woods and over the boulder-strewn slopes A British charge drove them back for the moment, but fire coming in on the redcoats from both flanks forced them to return to their position at the top of the hill. A mountaineer's bullet found its mark in Major Ferguson and he fell dead. Vastly outnumbered, with loses piling up every minute, and with no means of escape, the survivors raised the white flag of surrender. The British lost about 400 men. The Apierican loss was less than 100. The prisoners of war were paroled at once. The frontiersmen, divided up the booty—rifles, equip ment and supplies of the defeated legion and scattered to their moun tain homes. Some of the British soldiers stayed in the mountains. The Tories and others made their way towards the seacoast. British troops never again set foot in the sacred mountain country of the Carollnas during the Revolutionary war. The government is incorporating the site of the battle of Kings Mountain in a national military park, adjoining which there is to be a State Recreation Park where the people of the Carolinas may enjoy the mountain country and the facilities it affords for life in the big outdoors, at moderate cost.
