MAY SOLVE DEATH
 MYSTERY FOR MAN
Scientist on Threshold Of I'm.
 portant Discoveries

London. Sept. 10 uP)-Prof. A.. V. Hill. noted physiologist. appar- i ently is on the threshold of solving important features of the age-old mystery of life and death. the Eve ming Standards correspondent tele- graphed today from Glasgow, where the British Association for the Ad vancement Of Science is meeting. Studying Cells The statement said Prof. Hill, by of the human body. had reached startling conclusions about the diff 1 ference in soruces of energy be- tween human beings and machines, as well as varying reasons for the disintegration of the body and death.
 The correspondent forecast "a scientific sensation" when the de- tails are disclosed. He said it was extremely probable that the discov- cries of Hill would lead to as great . conflict of opinion as Darwin's theories aroused.
 The correspondent continued 10 say: Tt Is premature to specify the exact advance registered by Profes sor Hill" but hinted that what all ready has been achieved may con cern even the origin of life" The correspondent said the discoveries probably would be made public al- most immediately
 The dispatch continued:
 No Oxygen supply
 Professor Hills conclusions are based on the fact that when the human mechanism runs down. with consequent death, the cause is the failure of the oxygen supply. That leads to interruption of oxydization, structure and causes death. The in- terruption, however. is something very different from that which takes place when an internal com- bustion engine runs out of petrol. While such an engine Is not de- stroyed by the stoppage, the human mechanism is Apparently disinte- grafton prevents the all-important process of oxydization."
 Professor Hill. who is fl. won the Nobel prize for medicine in 1922.
 The announcement of Hill's sup posed discoveries came just as Britain was engaged in a renewal of the recent national discussion of life after death. The subject was brought 10 the fore in two ad- dresses made yesterday by the two foremost students of spiritualism in England-Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Conan Doyle.
 Lodge. in a scientific sermon at Wellington church in Glasgow, af- firmed his belief in life after death and on "one single mind'' that con- trols the universe.
 solemn Thought
 Tt is a most solemn thought but believe it true" he said. "We can not go out of existence even if We wanted to. The material body re- turns to the earth while We our selves, as souls or spirits or idcnti- ties, continue.

Statement Made

London. Sept. 10 R-Britain's de- sire to bring the Anglo French naval understanding into accord with the great powers was emphasized by an authoritative spokesman of Down. ing street today.
 Coming as it did while the Brit ish foreign office is awaiting replies 70 the proposals which have been communicated 10 the United States and Italy. and other interested ns- tions, the observations were accord ed special significance.
 It was said that if the Anelo- French agreement in its present form elicits critical suggestions from other quarters the British hope is that an agreement will emerge eventually which will prove acceptable to all nations.
 Meanwhile it is pointed out that the proposals are only suggestions made by France and England for ending the deadlock of the past pre-. paratory disarmament conference. and that they so no farther, and are purely technical in nature.
 It was stated that If the Anglo French agreement is finally conclud. ed it will enable the preparatory dis armament conference to start work.
 It was said emphatically that the motive behind the whole policy is not any desire on the part of Brit. ain, or France for secret action as . means of consolidating their friend. ship--this is already strong enough but that it has as it's objective progress with the practical work of disarmament.

Cubs Would Be Ready
 To Take Over HOrnsby

Chicago. Jan. 14 LP-Players or money or both are available for a trade for Rogers Hornsby if the Bos- ton club would consider it, officials of the Chicago Cubs said today. and some of the baseball experts went so far as to deduce from the non-com- initial answers of President William Neeck that an offer already had been made to Judge Fuchs of the Braves.
 "The worst that Boston could say would be 'no,' was the answer of President Neeck 10 one question. whether 1t was regarded as futile to start negotiations for the star second baseman. "rhe Cubs will make any deal calculated to strengthen the team, and We would like to have Hornsby."
 After several days absence in In- diana, Commissioner Landis returned to his office yesterday but declined to make any comment on the Horns- by case. He said the baseball writ CTS of the major league circuits. all his friends had done a fine job of that already.

IDEAL DEMOCRACY
 AT CENTRAL ,JR. H. s.
Civic League Is Highest Form of
 Student Responsibility

Probably one of the most inter- esting Of the extra curricular activi-
 ties of the schools of New Britain Is the Student Council or Civic league of the Central Junior High school which has been in existence at the school for the past few years.
 The purpose of the organization is to establish school democracy as form of social and self-control, which includes certain obiectives Through this avenue pupils are ac- quainted with the machinery, duties. and responsibilities of the individual in democracy. Pupils in a group are led to develop q respect for the group-made regulations. It makes it possible to develop finer spirit of cooperation between pupils and to encourage a closer relationship be- tween pupils and faculty. as well as encouraging all worthy school ac- tivities. It develops within the pu- pill qualities of good leadership and intelligent fellowship. and the power to recognize standards of individual and group conduct.
 The system of student government parallels that of a nation, having been founded upon the same under lying principles. Democratic ideals prevail and the laws are based upon the consent of the governed. Since the pupils elect their own repre- sentatiyes, care is taken to make clear the nature of the vote. It is a difficult task to lead pupils 10 sub ordinate personal likes and dislikes and vote for the pupil best fitted for the office, but this problem must be if student government is to forecast the highest type of citizenship.
 Every pupil in the school is member of the organization. Each section in each grade is organized of the various sections meet and elect the executive officers of the Civic league and make the for the student body. These officers execute the laws through the various section presi- dents and with the aid Of special committees sponsored by faculty adviser.
 The executive and special com mittee takes an active interest in the general welfare of the school They endeavor to promote regular attend- ance, puctuality. orderly traffic. cleanliness, respect for property. high scholarship. interest in athletics thrift music. interest in artistic school decoration. use of the library. courtesy. personal and school pride in good conduct, and worthy social events.

phia just because Dempsey had been out of the ring too long. I backed my judgment against the know ledge that Dempsey could knock out anyone with one or two punches, and against my knowledge that Tun- ney has one bad fault-he doesn't duck. and anyone that holds his head up for Dempsey is taking a terrible chance.
 Before the. fight in Philadelphia saw Bat Levinsky. He used to be in Morgan's string with me and We are old friends. He's also smart bettor. He asked me who I liked and I told him Tunney and he told me he was taking all the long-price money he could get the same way. told him I wasn't betting as much as he was and cautioned him about the way Tunney stood up and the way Dempsey could hit, even if his legs were gone.
 "Bat told me that he had been talking to Tommy l.oughran. Loughran had been working with Dempsey and. you remember. the papers told how he had made a monkey of Dempsey in the sparring ring and that they had had some private workouts.
 "i.oughran was almost crying" Bat told me. He said Tunney was the luckiest guy in the world in getting the first shot at Dempsey. He said, and he is no boaster. that he had beaten Dempsey with the little gloves and could have stopped him in the training camp. that he knew it and that the camp knew it. Loughran said he felt he was the unluckiest fellow in the world to know absolutely that he could beat Dempsey and that he couldn't get the chance to do it for all that big money.
 That experience" Britton said. mo doubt will make Loughran, if he has what I think he has. It gave him the confidence to go out and take every fighter offered to him. and it gave him the convic- ton that if Tunney couldn't stop Dempsey {; year later when he was much worse. that Tunney was not such wow
 "I may be wrong. am not pick ing Loughrcn as the next champion, but I will not bet that he won't beat Tunney."

 Governor Byrd's order sending Company k of the 1ssrd infantry ts the Bay followed receipt of word that the state patrol boat Katy was driven from the region Thursday by a rife fire volley from oyster tong CTS. Captain John B. Bush of the Katy, gave the governor an adtdAyit in which he said the firing was done by tongers who had been dredging for oysters at night. in violation of the law.
 Mobjack Bay has been . battle ground for opposing groups of oyster men, the most recent disturbance centering about the contention of independent tonEers that grounds leased by the state to F, W. Darling should be thrown open to the public. The dispute was believed to have been settled recently at conferences with state officials when Darling agreed to open certain areas but re- served the right to first take oysters from grounds he had planted.
 Three officers and fifty men com- prise the guard unit ordered to the scene. A field gun in addition to the usual infantry equipment Of regulation rifles and automatic Ptfies was issued to the troops.
