BULLIsH FACTORS TILL AFTER ELECTIONS

It is announced by Wall street writers that the general public is not doing much buying of stocks at present, despite the bullish tenden- cies of the market.
 "The most plausible hypothesis to explain the underlying strength in stocks is one which we outlined some time ago." says Edson 5. Smith in the Boston Herald. Namely, that the leading financial interests of the country are CO., operating in an effort to assure continuation of prosperity at least until after the fall elections.
 They believe that the best way to insure the election of a Congress friendly to the administration is to have business extremely prosperous in this country when the voters go to the polls next November. Pros- perity is the surest cure for radical ism. Rising grain prices and boom- ing business will prove a combina- ton calculated to still the mutter- ings of the malcontents."
 It is not frequently. perhaps, that a writer in such d staunch Repub- lican organ as the Boston Herald lets the cat out of the bag so naively.
 That this sort of thing is done be- fore virtually every election is quite well known. It requires no good memory to recall the astonishing upward swing of grain prices before the last presidential election, the manipulated market being for no other purpose than to fool farmers into thinking there was now no more need for being discontented. It is astonishing that in this era of universal education and intelligence such tomfoolery can be worked - or that the public can be worked by such tonfoolery.
 Already grain prices are begin ming to get firm. Farmers are be- ing told by such grand old party organs in the west as still are in existence that farming is getting more prosperous. It is being shown that the wheat growers of Kansas and the corn growers of Iowa will have more money this fall than for several years - and this probably regardless of the crops. The string pullers have the situation well under control.
 In connection with business in general. it Is a neat contribution to the administration campaign to have our prosperity made 10 order for rs' We enjoy 1t nevertheless, but the principle is doubtful. .-.-
 Here is how it works out: Should ! the Insurgents and the Democrats get control of Congress in November the strings will be pulled in the opposite direction, there will be pleuitude of uncertainty" and commercial disaffection, stocks no doubt will slip awfully reflecting the lack of confidence In Congress etc. - and the wheels will be well oiled for Il turnover in favor of the dominant party at the next presl- dential election. It is a grand old system and it always works.

BRAIN FIBRES ARE
 IMPORTANT ID LIFE
Scientist Brings Forth New
 Theory on Age

New York, July 31 H)-"Only as old as ones brain fibres," may take the place of "a woman's as old as she looks" and "a mans as old as he feels," according to new labora- tory evidence found by Dr. Louis Casamajor, professor of Neurology at the college of Physicians and Sur geons
 He is seeking and finding the anatomical basis for human behav- ior' in changes that take place in the developing brain. Using kittens, rats and guinea pigs at first, his ey- perimcnts have now reached the point where he is studying the be- havior of babies in relation to the development of the myelin, or tissue surrounding the nerve flores of their brain.
 Different Ages At Birth
 Among other things he said his experiments have shown are:
 All animals are not the same age when they are born
 Birth is merely an incident in life.
 Rats are young embryos when they are born, and are quite helpless for several weeks.
 The kitten remains helpless for little over a week.
 "A colt will walk around and fol- low it's mother after twenty minutes.
 Guinea Pig the Oldest
 'The guinea pig is probably the oldest thing in the world when it is born. It runs rapidly. sees per fectly and will start eating cabbage after five minutes, and will fight in- terference.
 ''The guinea pig is so old when it is born that it has already shed it's milk teeth before birth, and at birth is beginning to show senile chanees."
 The brains of the animals studied showed development of the myelin in proportion to the development Of their behavior.
 Moving pictures, with normal and slow motion flashes, were made un- der pr. Casamajor's direction. and when run off before the psychia- trists, showed these differences. Pho tographs of brain sections showed the corresponding development Of the myelin. The kitten. blind at birth, has no -myelin about it's optic nerve centcrs. little developmen about the nerve of locomotion, and depends almost solely upon the de- velopment of it. hearing and feeling nerves. The rat which is utterly helpless at birth, has no myelin in it's nervous system at first. The guinea pig Is completely myelinated at birth.
 "Act Your Age"
 "The human infant comes some where between the rat and the kit ten in it's age at birth" said pr. Casamajor-"Man at birth is not the oldest nor the youngest of the ami. nal kingdom.
 we are now studying the be- Ihavior of children, noting carefully the exact ages at which a fresh be- havior characteristic appears and then, when we get the chance, see- ing what change in the brain &C., companies this ages new powers
 The future will have to tell what may be the applications of this new knowledge of the march of behavior linked to the brain fibre growth, ac. cording to the investigator. For the present the colloquial mouthed public may content itself with broader conception Of the current phrase Act YoursAge."

EMPLOYEES REPORT
s24,02 ROOM RENT
First Figures in Commerce
Department Survey After
$3.50 Proposal.

First figures in the Department OF
Commerce inquiry into the Federal
employee housing situation in Wash
ington indicate that the average rent
per room per month is $24.02, 1t was
announced today.
The information was contained In
a statement from the chief clerk of
| the department which inaugurated the
survey following a proposal from an
unnamed party to erect apartments
here for rent to Government employees
al $3.50 a room per month. The sur
vey is designed to disclose if there IL
a demand for such housing, the pro
ponent of which has only been identi-
fed by Secretary of Commerce Hoover
as "a man of standing in the com.
munity."
Answers by Employees.
Questionnaires returned by Govern
ment employees who were interested
in the proposal for cheap apartments
have been coming into the Depart
ment of Commerce in large numbers
OF which 1900 have been distracted
the statement said.
Out of those which had been alb
stracted, it was explained that 6.5S4
answered that part of the question
naire as to the cost per room per
month. The average OF these an
swers was $24.02.
The idea according to the question
naire sent out by Chief Clerk F.. w
Libbey of the department was tic
construct attractive apartments al
charges to occupants simply covering
cost of construction, operation, nee
| essary interest, taxes and amortiza
ton charges"
Two Propositions Made.
Two aftermath tive bases were offered
either for rent or purchase. The plan
is that two, three or four room apart
ments could be erected on a renta
basis of $3.50 per room. bathroom
included free of charge, or on puf
chase basis of $3.50 cash payment pei
room. with monthly charges sufncienl
to cover taxes, operation. interest AND
! installment payments on the prlncl

The apartments would be LOCATED
in A desirable section of the city
