NEW PLAN ID FIND
 AREA OF CIRCLE
John Lynch Of Beaver Street
 Ends 10 Year Study

After more than 10 years Of study John Lynch of 5S Beaver street came out today with an announce mcnt that he has worked out a new method for figuring the circumfer- ence and the area of a circle, cor recting the old system which edu- caters of all times have admitted was not entirely correct, but which they have never changed, he claims.
 The system of finding the circum- ference as it is now taught consists of multiplying the diameter by S,l4l6. Admitting this figure was incorrect educators and mathema- ticians have done nothing to work 1 out the correct multiplier, Mir. Lynch 1 claims, and he says his announce ment is the first remedy offered. He substitutes for 3l4l6, the figure S.c0 land he challenges educators, mathe. maticians, engineers or anyone else i to prove wherein his figure is not correct. Mir. Lynch holds himself In readiness to give a blackboard talk to any person or group interested In | his finding and claims he can prove by three or four processes the cor rectness of the figure he uses. For i finding the area he uses the follow i ing method: Four-hfths of the square of the diameter or so per cent, is the area of the circle. For an example, the square of nine 1 inches is sl. The square, multiplied by so is 64.S0. which Is the area of & circle nine inches In diameter. MT. Lynch is carpenter by trade. His spare time for more than 10 years has been devoted to mathema- tics. In his research work, he has never made a memorandum and at | the close of an evenings figuring he tears up his scrap papers, resum- ing the work the following evening without any difficulty in recalling the figures of the preceding night, he says. His residence in New Brit ain has been over q period Of more than 40 years.
 Mir. Lynch Is quite anxious 10 have 
 his figures and findings questioned so
 he may have an opportunity to ex-
 plain the theory.
 The real ebenefits 10 come through
 finding d correct system of working out circumference and areas should
 appear in industrial and educational
 lines, Mir. Lynch believes. Since the
 only method now taught is in error
 he feels the new system should he
 tried and unless found also to be in
 error, should be adopted. That he
 can establish its accuracy beyond
 any question of doubt is Lynch s
 claim.
 While he is anxious 10 discuss his
 findings with anyone interested in
 figures, Mir. Lynch says he will not
 submit 10 any human being his for mula for the purpose of passing upon it finally, their word to deter mine whether it is correct and should be adopted, or incorrect and Should be discarded,

The Smith Business college bas- ketbaIl team rode roughshod over the Poish National Alliance five of Meriden at St. Casimir's school, Meriden, last night, coming back home on the long end of a 52-25 score. The first half was fairly even, although the winners held the up per hand by 24-f4 at the rest pe- riod. In the second half they ran amuck and piled up the score with almost no opposition.
 Maiorano and Santy starred for the Smith team, getting nine bas- kets apiece. Maiorano put them in so fast that he was removed In favor of Gawitt, and this lad then chucked in a couple. Murphy's all- around work was also very good. Filipeke was the best Meriden had. The winners play the South church at the Boys club tonight. Last | nipi,t's Score.
