Tn ls73." pr. Cole relatas. '.a young philoloSist reported to the medical society of Vienna certain peculiar self-observations. He and his oldest brother had. since their earliest youth. connected . definite color sensation with every normal tone sensation.
 "If . tone was sounded on the or gan he gave that tone always the same color sensation whether he was able to recognize the tone cor rectly or not. In childhood these colors were so vivid and surprising that on hearing . tone. he often broke out in raptures, not over the beauty of the tone but because of the secondary .e.t color sensation. and thus he brought Hdicule upon himself from his parents and broth- CTS and sisters.

SOUNDS CAUSE 0F COLOR SENSAIIUNS Tests Show Many Persons Are
 Thus Affected

Boulder, Colo, Jan. 27.-lH'-- Sounds have corresponding colors for approximately two per cent of mankind. says Lawrence w. Cole, professor of psychology at the Uni versity of Colorado.
 When q tone or voice is heard, he explains. these persons see a certain color. This color associa- ton sometimes extends to names of day of @the week and the sense of taste.
 Science has been unable, how ever, to apply this fact of colored hearing to any useful purpose. he adds, "unless it be to create Q closer bond of confidence between parents and their children"

Forester Helps Reveal
 Age of Wooden Objects

Stockholm. Jan. 27 R-A swe- dish forester. Ake Berg, has done his bit for science by finding way to determine the age of wooden objects unearthed by archeolo- gists. His method is based on the observation that the year-rings of the wood vary in width according to- local climatic conditions and that this variation is absolutely uni form in different trees in the same neighborhood.
 When this system Is fully de- veloped 1t is expected that it will help scientists in ascertaining the exact age of sissilized tree trunks and prehitoric articles of wood found in the earth.

Be SENT Home
BY RAILROAD
Offer of Battleship Re-
jected; Friends To
See Body; u. S. to
Send Guard

WASHINGTON. July 14.--lPl-The
body Of Captain Emilio Carranza, the
Mexican aviator. will be taken TO
Mexico City from New York by train
and not aboard the battleship Flori-
da, which had been placed at the dis
pusal Of the Mexican government by
President Coolidge.
The state department was notified
tonight BY Ambassador Teller Of
Mexico that he had received "a mes
sage from his government expressing
appreciation OF the offer Of the bat
tleship to transport the air hero's
body 10 Mexico. but declining the
proposal.
The message declared the Mexican
government was desirous of having
the body transported BY rail on q
special train TO Laredo, Texas, where
IL will BE met BY a Mexican military
mission which will escort it 20 Mexico
City.
To Send III. s. Guard
After the funeral the body will
be taken in charge by a United States
army escort which will guard IL un-
Til the train reaches the border nc
Laredo.
Ambassador Tellez will attend the
funeral and the state department also
will he represented. Colonel Sam
uel Rojas, Mexican military attache
at the embassy here. will accompany
the body from New York 70 the Mex
lean capital.
A reply from Acting Mexican Min
lister for Foreign Affairs GenarO Es-

casion Of the tragic death of Captain

Friends to View Hero
The use of a train was deemed A
more practical method OF returning
the Dody and also Id was believed
that the Mexican governments de-
,cision was based on the fact that
Carranza home was in northern
Mexico.
The aviator enjoyed great populari-
ty In that section and it is expected
that the train journey will afford an
opportunity for the natives w the
region to pay a tribute TO him. ID is
probable that the train will stop N.Y.

Mexico City t0 permit public DEM

Marshall Hicks of San Antonio, in
his argument for Love, declared "if

Smith himself is a bolter because he
bolted the platform OF the national
democratic party ten minutes after

Love Flayed
Attorneys for V. ". Taylor, chair
man of Cameron county democratic
executive committee, charged that
Love had not come into court with
"clean hands, but has violated con-
science, good faith and moral obliga-

with the controversy" This brought
an eloquent defensive from Hicks,
who said the Dallas senator had n
wide reputation for playing the
game fairly.
"He is, if anything, too frank,
Hicks said. Gle has said things
which in the interest of good poll
tics could have remained unsaid, but
il has never been his nature to hide
