Woman Applies Psychology To
 Hens Eggs

Syracuse, N. Y, July 7-Webster's definition that psychology is the sci- ence of the human soul is due for an amendment as result of the eXperi- ments of Mrs. Thomas Flanagan, of Lillian avenue, Eastwood, who has been delving into the effect of that doctrine on eggs.
 II tho chicken within the egg has no soul 1t has something that is sus- ceptible 10 thought transference and the mother hen can be influenced through the same medium, Mrs Elan agan declares:

 The principal item of discussion at the meeting is the state pension bill which the association Is to present before the state legislature. Bridge port and New Haven now provide for the retirement of the faithful service men, but the other cities in the state have been backward in the move ment.
 The merit system is also attracting a great deal of attention among the members The present method of payment for school janitors is based on the number of rooms for which g. man cares. The merit system will have as it's basic principle the man ner in which the man does his work. It seeks to get a better rate of pay for the men who take care Of their building and grounds in an efficient way.
 Two delegates will be selected to represent the state association at the national convention in Lowell, Mass, July 12-13.
 The officials in attendance at the convention now in progress include: James P. Kelly. of New Haven, presi- dent of the National Engineers and School Janitors' association; D. A.

Dempsey-Carp Match
 Favored By Muldoon
By DAVIS J. WALSH (International News Service Sports
 EditOr.)

New York, July 7-Indirectly Will liam Muldoon, bluff, plain-spoken chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission may be said to look with no marked disfavor upon the proposition to bring Dempsey and Carpenter together for a return en- gagement. Directly, he will tell you that he will comment on no prospec- match maker.
 However, he doesn't mind leaving something for your imagination to play with. As for example:
 During a recent conversation with the writer Muldoon remarked that it wasn't so much Carpenters lack of weight as Descamp'S lack of fore sight which made the Dempsey-Car- pentier affair as one-sided as a pro- German viewpoint. Under certain conditions, he ayers, Carpenter would have made a much better fight of it.
 "I blame much of Carpenters fail ure on Descamps' shortsightedness,' Mu1doon declared. What could the man have been thinking of to sign up for what was actually a handicap match without getting an even break on the handicap allowance? Des- camps should have insisted that the articles of agreement call for no hit ting in the cinches. Then Carpen- tier, weighing under ITO pounds. would have had a mans size chance with Dempsey, weighing close to 200.
 Says Clinches Beat Carp
 As it was, what happened? They met in the center of the ring, inn mediately went into cIinch and Dempsey cuffed his man at will about the head and body. When they were pried apart the F'renchman was a1- ready wobbly on his pins and unable to think clearly. He was beaten then and there.
 Suppose. however, the men had been forced n l. yTviEh hi Carpenter then would have been as fresh as Dempsey, and when he land ed those two right handlers in the second round he would have had all his power behind him. It is a uues- ton whether Dempsey would have re- mained on his feet under those condi- tions. I don't say he would have been Knocked out, only that the punches in question would have hurt him a great deal more
 Praises Carp's Speed
 Another thing: If hitting in the clfnches was barred it is doubtful if Dempsey would have been able to corner his man before the end of twelve rounds. Carpenters speed might easily have kept him out of range for the scheduled durat tion of the bout"
 That being the case. what about another bout, MT Muldoon, with hit, ting in the clinches barred? It sounds like more humane not to say interesting proposition than the nrop osed pole-axeing of Brennan, Willard and the other ex-members of the P1ano Movers Association.

Clergymen Divided In Opinions
 ''Is Suicide Ever Justifiable?"

body expressed the belief Miss Mar shalfs burns would not have proved fatal. She would have been disfig- ured for life, however.
 Miss MarshaIPs father, E. O, Mar shall. merchant here, justifies his daughters act upon childhood ex- perience of his daughter.
 was eainfuiR MReb aeFy the fma tasher glf says Since then l have heard her say many times that she preferred death to the agony she suffered at that time. I believe this fear, grown to mania, led my daughter to com control"
 Clergymen of the Middle West a1- lied with the Hberalist school of theology declare the state of Miss Marshalls mind at the moment she took her life would serve as her jus tlfication in the tribunal of the moral law.
 ''If Miss Marshall, at the moment she killed herself. believed that death would result from the flames which were consuming her body she had the moral right to relieve the death pa ins which her childhood experience had built into a monster which drove all else from her mind at the mo- ment," Rev. James E. Peoples, local clergyman, says.
 Opposed to this is the teaching of other of the city's leading ministers, who are emphatic in their decIara- ton that the commandment, Thou shalt not kiIl!'' was binding on Miss Marshall
 God gives human life" they argue God can take it."
 Unless the act of self-destruction is that of insanity, some of the clergy men insist, the soul is lost
 They are joined by the "old-fash- ioned'' ministers of the Missouri hills teachers of the "old school"
 As a, result of the bitter debate over Miss MarshalTs act the subject of her moral justification may be brought before the national conven- tions of many of the leading church organiations this year and rulings asked.

(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
 Columbia, Mo, July 7-Is suicide ever justified? Can the moral law-''Thou shalt not kill!"-be interpreted, under any condition, to the soul salvation of. a self-destructionist?
 Clergymen of the Middle West are divided over these question. as are friends ol pretty Stella Marshall, popular town belle and teacher in the little Baptist Sunday school here. who lies in her grave, the victim of her own hand.
 Her story is without precedent in the ecclesiastical law of life and death.
 Miss MarshalPs Sunday school class was giving an entertainment- The young teacher went into her garden to cut corsage bouquet of roses for the fluffy organdie dress she wore. She carried a razor-edged butcher knife.
 Papers, gathered from the street during a windstorm, cluttered the yard. Miss Marshall gathered these into a bundle and touched a lighted match to them. Then she turned to the cutting of her roses.
 A moment later and her dress was afire.
 A scream-then a moment of fran tic effort to beat out the flames which had enveloped the girls body.
 Then, dropping to her knees, the
 Dear God!" J. E. Nash, a next door neighbor, heard her cry, flor give me! Forgive mel"
 The flames had reached Miss Mar shalfs hair-her body was a torch.
 Nash Vaulted a fence in his effort to reach the girls side. But before he could do so Miss Marshall placed the blade of the butcher knife she carried to her throat. A moment later she fell-the veins of life had been cut.
 F'ranctically Nash beat out the flames, which by now had burned deep into the flesh of the girl.
 But the knife had made a fatal wound-Miss Marshall died before medical aid could be administered.

The average percentage of the ex- penditure upon ornaments to reve- nue of these eight nations is there fore 25.1. Six of the eight nations show a deficit, one only, ourselves, Shows a small surplus, and one, Jugo-Slavia, balances its budget.
 It is true that since 1920 there has been a general reduction of expendr- ture upon armaments, put income has fallen in most cases to a more than corresponding extent. with the result that the financial situation has not improved.
 Americas Attitude.
 There is a greater dereciation of currency in most countries than there was then. and debt is being steadily piled up. In each of the countries have cited taxation has been earned to it's utmost limits and in each in- dustry is grievously crippled by taxa tion.
 Can we, then, be surprised that America in these circumstances with holds her aid to Europe? Is she not right in her argument that by so doing she would be bolstering up Fl fake economic position and backing a fatal policy?
 The conclusion of the matter Is then, surely. that no plans for the financial rehabilitation of Europe have the least prospect of success; that no Justinian code will be of avall unless and until the question Of re- duclng the burden Of the expenditure upon armaments is taken up serl- ously.
 That expenditure is comm only spoken of as national insurace. ou1 what firm would contemplate spend ing annually 25 per cent of its reve- nue upon insurance? IT the fnsur- ance offices were to insist on such premiums the directors would a, once take counsel and see how the risks could be reduced. That is the NfL oa recommended in 1920. and it Is the only sane and practical course.
 If the Prime Ministers of Europe would give their minds to the consid eration of how to give practical ef- feet to the Brussels resolutions ln- stead of devoting their energies to perambulating conferences the risks could be reduced, premiums woula be brought down, budgets could be made to balance and the sta bilization of exchanges would Yollow.
