.sy the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. December IA
Medical research at Harvard discloSes
that Clarence De Mar, 40-year -old mara
thon runner, even when doing severe
athletic work, is in state approach
ing normal rest.
The studies show the advantages Of
physical training from a new angle.
They indicate that one source OF the
reserve power which many athletes and
workers possess is probably in the abil-
ity of their organisms to maintain an
internal environment approaching that
of the normal resting state. They show
that this resting ability may be en-
hanced by physical training.
The researches were conducted by
Drs. Arlie V. Book, D. B. Dill and j.
H. Talbot at the fatigue laboratory of
Harvard University and at the medical
laboratories of the Massachusetts, Cen
eral Hospital.
Tested on Machine. s.
De Mar, who runs 10 miles daily,
another man who never had much
physical exercise, and two leading sed-

been accustomed at times to periods Of

Their exercises were performed on a

FINDING OF SKELETON
+ AR0USES TOWNS PRIDE
Citizens of Pennsylvania Borough
Want Facts Perpetuated
in History.

NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. GP).-Dis-
covery of the skeleton of a giant Indian
along the Yellow Breeches Greek, near
here, has developed "history complex
among New Cumberland citizens.
The finding of the skeleton recalled
to mind much historic lore of the town
and a movement has been launched to
rename the creek and the main street
to perpetuate these facts of history
Tradition has it that the town was
founded upon grant of land from
William Penn.
"Caleopatsink the old Indian name
for the creek, is urged in place of Yellow
Breeches. The new designation Sug-
gested for Bridge street, New Cumber-
lands main thoroughfare, is CHARTERS
avenue" for Peter CHARTERS, half-breed,
to whom william Penn granted the
land upon which the town was built.
The State geographical commission
and the town council have the final
word as to whether these changes shall
be made.

MATTFEED TO.S|T
ON CULTURAL BODY
N. B. c. Librarian Named on
Music Committee to Con-
fer With Russians.

Radio is represented in the cultural
trafac between nations. julius Matt
field, librarian of the National Broad
casting Co.. has been invited to sit
on the music committee of the Amer
ican Society for Cultural Relations with
Russia.
His associates on that board are such
famous musicians as Leopold Stokow-
ski Of the Philadelphia Symphony;
George Barerre, noted conductor and
fiautist: Carlos Salzedo. the eminent
haruist: Serge Radamsky, Joseph
Achron and Edgar Varese. the ultra
modernist composer.
Mattfeld is not q stranger to this
DISTINGUISHED group. With Varese ana
Salzedo he was one Of the co-founders
of the International Composers Guild,
which helped to introduce ultra-mod-
ern music in America by means OF con-
certs from 1921 to '27. He is also q
member of the Pro-Musical technical
board. the Franco American society for
bringing the works Of French composers
to this country.
By means of the new move for estab-
fishing cultural relations with Russia,
one of the most important contempo-
rary composers of Russia, Schillinger,
will be introduced to America. He is
now aboard ship on his way to the
United States with some of the works
which caused a sensation on the Euro
pean continent. With Mattfeld on the
music committee, it is. possible that
radio listeners may hear these works
this Winter at the same time as the
discriminating concert audience.
The N, B. c. librarian is himself mu-
eician Of considerable note. His ballet,
Virgin of the Sum-" had long run
at the Greenwich Village Theater in
1922, and the composer was acclaimed
by music critics at the time as one of
the most promising modernistS Of the
world. A Temple Dance" especially,
one Of the outstanding numbers of the
ballet, was hailed as genuine work
of art.
He is also the author of several
scholarly books on music here and
abroad. including Folk Music of the
Western Hemisphere, which deals with
the native folk songs of North, Central

The prevailing good weather and
the almost perfect train service
this year did much to relieve cons

postoffice department is obtaining
results and each year the increased

than the year before.
The number of Christmas greet

theirs expressed great appreciation
for the good will evidenced; for
clothing to keep them warm; and

who distributed the gifts claimed
that the work added immeasureably

SCHOOL SITE
ENLARGED BY !
9 IL ACRE BUY
Boundaries of New Campus
Entirely Envelops Old Prop
erty; Give Space for Recre-
alton and Play.

Nine and one-half acres have re-
Gently been added to the school
campus at purchase price but
little N excess of the original two
and one-half-acIe site, which was
bought several years ago.
The boundaries of the new cam
pus extend from the wooden drive
way across the ditch due south $50
feet and from that point west 700
feet and from there straight north
to the ditch. The new piece entire
ly envelops the old property which
was included just within the tri-
angle formed by the trees around
the building.
The old site gave scarcely enough
room for the buildings with vir-
tually no play space. The schools
now have room for play grounds
ana outdoor basketball courts and
a soccer football field have been
added. There is also space for a
grade school baseball diamond and
a high school baseball diamond.
This acreage is most central as
far as the town and district is con-
cerned of any available district,
according to w. C. Hodge, super
intendent. 1t forms an ideal piece
of ground to accommodate future
building construction. The new site
fits in ideally as a hub point in
the new Olmsted plat arrangement.
