Professor Jones. "We may also assume
that the writing centre is called into
function whenever the child begins TO

to be before he IL eight years OF age.
Any case, we must. assume that there
Is an intimate functional connection among
the word centres, such that whenever the

likely to function; and any interference
with this functional unity may result in

Syracuse, ILL.,, June 28. - Fol-
rent: A much dead corpse, guar
anteed not to walk in the night
nor to otherwise annoy its owner.
This is the ultimatum of Ma
rian French, penmanship teach
er and owner of the corpse. "
The body, by the way, recent
ly was alive enough to keep po-
lice in eight Indiana and IliInois
towns on the jump for twenty
four hours. Even the Chicago po-
lice "fell'' for the corpse" al
though the latter was partly VIC
timized by some active students
from a journalist school who had
a sense of humor.
The corpse" first stored in a
stable here, first came to the at
tention of the students at the
Sycamore station. Trainmen, sus-
pecting the box which contained
1t to be bootlegger's store
room (the box weighed 4S0
pounds,) opened it. They found
the corpse of a man, dead eighty
years and in petrified state.
When the journalistic students
noticed the find" they immedi-
ately scattered reports OF bru-
tai trunk murder in which a
woman was cast as the victim.
"She was stabbed in dozen
places" said their sensational re-
ports.
Police snapped into it" and
ran down clues. The Sycamore
police finally, denied the murder
story and announced the corpse
was that OF man, dead at least
eighty years. It's owner, French,
was finally located.

had been carried away by gypsics

found two miles from the cottage
from which the disappearance
took place. The body was found
by man salvaging timber on the
mountain, which was swept by
fire last year.
II is believed that the baby was
carried away by an eagle, because
II was too young to have wandered

Messing Workout

Atlantic City, N. j., June 28.-
Jack Dempsey today is within As
hours of the end OF his training
grind. The champion is sched-
uled to do his last boxing in public
this afternoon and tomorrow.
Dempsey and his handlers had
no explanation to offer today for
the secret workout late yesterday
when he toiled for SIS minutes at
top speed with only three specta-
tors watching him. Dempsey
worked out in the stuffy old han
gar quarter of mile back OF his
camp after announcement was
made that he would take day off.
Jack simply felt he wanted to
work and he decided to do it on a
minutes notice" said Teddy Hay
es, trainer of the champion.
"Stale" Reports Denied.
Some noted trainers and ath-
letes have been rather strong in
their criticism Of the champion.
They believed they said that
Dempsey was too finely drawn,
that he had oyertrained and was
on the verge of going stale. But
the workout yesterday satisfied
those privileged to watch 1T that
he is at the top of his form.
The champion set furious pace
from the start and battered his
partners with less consideration
than the veteran mates desired.
Judge C. B. Bonniwell Of Phila-
deIphia, referee of the University
of Pennsylvania relay carnival and
a former Olympic champion,
watched the workout.
ANY man who perspires as
Dempsey did yesterday is not dried

said. "He was on his toes every
minute and astonished me with
his speed. These experts can't tell
me that he's not in the best of
