STATE SCHOOL FUND
 INCREASED LAST YEAR

AAC1LASED 1AGL 1EAh
 According to the report which will form part of the state treasurer's annual re- port to the governor, the principal of the school fund of the state was increased during the last fiscal year from $4,o1s,- 17o.51 to $2,o2e, ,T15.c5. The net income of the fund was $1i1, 1,s3S.s5 as against slQS. .4Se.34 for the previous year. The earnings amount to 5.54 per cent.
 The gross earnings amounted to S1z0,- 900 and this amount sn it's entirety was turned over to tSa state to meet expenses of education. The difference between the gross amount of earnings and the net represent the expense connected with the management of the fund These expenses are paid out of the general civil list funds 80 that the entire earnings of the school fund afe devoted to the purposes of com mon school education as the state constl- tuition requires.
 Those in charge of the administration of the fund do not always find farm property an attractive source of invest ment, and that fact explains the inability to invest the principal of the fund in loans to farmers in this tate. Under a law passed some time since the money invested in western real estate, prinel- pally in Ohio, has been withdrawn to the amount of $200,O00 from the west and in- vested in this state. There Is an errone- ous impression among some farmers in Connecticut that when the integrity of the fund was secured by a constitutional provision the intention was to loan 1t to farmers in Connecticut so as to encour- age agriculture.
 There is nothing in the constitutional provision to show that those who drafted 1t had that in mind when it was written. The provision concerns itself only with common school education when it says: The fund, called the school fund. shall remain a perpetual fund, the interest oI which shall be involably appropriated in the support and encouragement of the public or common schools throughout tho state and for the equal benefit of all the people thereof" In passing, it may be interesting to note that when the fund was made invioable by a constitutiona provision it had a mortgage of S10, 0,0oC on the property in New Hartford to which the late MT. Birdseye secured title

ELSTON, CONGRESSMAN,
WORRIED TO DEATH

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-CUnited
Press)-Mystery still surrounds the
real reasons which caused Repre-
sentative ]. A. Elston. California. to
end his life here by leaping into the
Potomac River.
Police detectives today admitted
they were bafiied wit hthe circum-
stances surrounding the tragedy
A complete investigation made by
the police has convinced them that
Elston was not the victim OF foul
play and Il is probable that a YER
dict OF suicide will be issued later
today.
Friends OF Elston were divided as
to the cause OF his act. Some be-
lieve he was temporarily unbal-
anced. due to general nervous
condition and overwork. Others
thought that the suicide was due to
brooding over the failure OF Con-
gress to authorize the great Ala
media naval project
An his friends professed TO know
nothing in his past regarding "an
offense innocently made in the be-
ginning" which would lead him to
Redistribution. This statement was
contained in a letter found in his
pockets.

BY ROY GIBBONS.

CHICAGO - Scientists here are
dabbling in form OF magic that
would put medieval alchemists to
shame.
They're trying to turn backward,
neurasthenic. subnormal even
idiotic-children into geniusesi
Every day a long line of children
shufies up the stairs to the board OF
education research laboratory.
Many are dull in appearance.
many deformed. most OF them i'll
clad, all of them mentally defective
A white-coated physician gives
them a preparation made OF sheep
glands. Then they shuttle back TO
the classroom.
The eyes Of the scientific world
are fixed on that daily experiment.
For its originators say It will teach
medicine how
To restore mental health TO the
subnormal-
To give every one a perfect men
tai machine
And even to cure insanity
Were just in the first stages OF
the limitless possibilities OF this
field" says DR.. Frank C. Bruner,
board Of education physician.
What is a mentally sub-normal
individual. believe he's only a
neurasthenic whose nervous system
+ has become pitched 50 high that II
has passed the point OF control.
Now all geniuses are neurasthen-
les. The boundary line between the
genius and the lunauc is vague.
III by gland treatment-in which
+ I have faith-we can cut down the
nervous pitch Of the insane and the
( fceble-minded. who can say that the
buried genius that gave rise to their
/ eccentricities will not assert itself?''
Dr. Bruner believes every mental
disorder arises from an oversupply
Of undersupply in the glands OF the
neck and head.
SO. to restore reasoning power
he's giving children the pituitary
glands OF sheep.
And to cure sluggish mentality,
thyroid extract
And to stimulate growth OF a
dwarfed mentality, pineal tablets.
