CONDUCTS RESEARCH
New Light On Insomnia and Basis of Dreams Shed By Results of Ex-
 ptriments On student Volunteers.

Chicago, April 9,-~New light on tho age-old malady of insomnia and on the physiological basis of dreams has been shed by studies made of six University of Chicago students who voluntarily remained awake for 1l5 hours, by Dr. Nathaniel Klcit- man of the university's department of physiology.
 One or the results showed that the condition of sleep is much the same as that resulting from q sev- cred spinal cord. Dr. kleitman said. The critical faculty of the brain is cut off in sleep, making the bite of an insect become the cut of a sword and the pain resulting from a meal O. pickles and ice cream the weight of giant sitting on the stomach.
 Sleep is not so essential as com plete relaxation, Dr. kloitman found. The students used as subjects were able to keep awake all times by con, tracting their muscles. Great muscu- lar or nervous fatigue was found to prevent sleep.
 The experiment showed progress sive inability to keep muscles con- tracted. After two days the sub iects could not write legbly. They were efficient in color identification only during short periods. They be- came unreasonable and resented ef- forts to keep them awake. although they had volunteered their service. Dreaming and hallucinations oc- cured even though the subjects were awake. One subject recited logarithms perfectly but imagined. he said later, a dispute between a laborer and a capitalist.

Early today the fire was burning
/ ficrcely, but little effort having been
made TO check 1t until rescue work
was completed. Company officials
said the damage probably would be
large before the fire Is extinguished.
Only seventy-nine men OF the nor
NAL force Of moro than 600, were at
work at o'clock last night when
the fire was discovered. All made
their escape except eleven who were
trapped in one Of the lower laterals.
Rescue workers succeeded in reach
ing them before midnight and
brought three survivors to the sur
face Ferry died, however, few
minutes later. The other two,
Robert Hook and Harry Kyle, both

The bodies Of the eight who died
in the mine were brought to the sur
face before o'clock this morning.
No statement was forthcoming

late last night.

sent Wife ABROAD
And We'd ANOTHER
No. |, Telling Of Cruelty, Wants
Divorce Decree Vacated

The most uneoncerned person In
Inc superior court In Hartford yes
.srday appeared TO be Leonard Dom
browski OF this city. who was the
brize for which two women waged
bitter battle through legal chan
iels. His first wife seeks to set
aside a divorce decree given him in
February IS, 1921, while his second
wife stands by him In his assertion
that his divorce was legal and his
second marriage valid.
All throughout her testimony. the
first wife, Eva Dombrowsky, was IN
tears She said that Dombrowski
had sent her to Europe in 1914 on
some errand and she told how she
had been caught In the Whirl OF the
world war and had been unable to
return to New Britain until nine
Years later. Upon her return. she
found him remarked and living with
his second wife, Victoria Dombrow-
Ski, whom he had wed shortly after
securing the divorce from his first
wife.
The first wife stated that DOM
browski's purpose in sending her to
Europe was so he could marry Vic
toria. She alleged that he had Sc
cured his divorce through fraud
when he stated that he did not
know where she was.
She told a pathetic tale of how,
when she was enduring innumerable
hardships in the war zone in Europe.
Dombrowski was writing ncr ardent
love letters through the agency of
an an1anuensis with the intent OF
deceiving her.
She said that previous to her de-
rarture for Europe in 1914, her hps-
hand had repeatedly entreated her
to go. She finally consented and on
May "a 1924, she started, receiving
rousing ssnd-off from her hus-
band. She had no relatives abroad.
but she was on her way, she said,
10 visit her husbands father in Bo-
gas, Russian Poland, and take some
money TO him.
She arrived in Myscoman, Austria
Hungary, just when the world war
broke out and she was forced to re-
main there. When the armistice
was signed, she went to Bogas only
TO find that her fatherin-law was
dead. She then wrote to Dombrow-
ski asking assistance to return, but
she received no reply. Through
relatives in this country, she finally
received enough money TO get back
to New Britain.
When she arrived in New Britain,
she said, her husband refused to
have anything to do with her and
even refused to recognize her. She
then found that he had divorced her
and married Victoria Truskowski
who had previously divorced her
husband.
The case is being continued today
before Judge Waldo p. Marvin
Francis E. Jones is presenting the
cnse and Hungerford & SAKE an(
David L. Nair are appearing for
Iomhrowski.
