Guard Secret Tests
OF New Navy Plane
Only 20 Feet Long
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash. June %
Secret tests of new type of Navy
plane designed and built by the Boo
ing Airplane Co. of Seattle are
being made at the Municipal Air
port here.
While secrecy attends the tests, it
was learned that the plane is made
of duraluminum, with wing spread
OF 80 feet and a length of 20 feet,
powered with a 500 horsepower
radial air-cooled motor and Is ex-
pected to develop speed of between
ITS and 200 miles per hour.
Because of its small wing spread
in proportion to its weight, the
plane must reach ground speed of
100 miles an hour before rising and
must land at 80 miles per hour.

TheftS Discovered at

SOUTHAMPTON. England. June %.
Although no official figures are yet
available it is reported that checks.
bank drafts, bills of exchange and bank
notes amounting to many thousands Of
pounds were involved in theftS from the
steamer Leviathan's mail, discovered
after the liners arrival here yester-
day. some official estimates placing
the loss as high as 100000 (approxi-
mately 100000
There was total of 3.263 bags of let
tiers and parcels carried on the liner, of
which l.700 were for London and hum
dreds of others for various parts Of
Great Britain.
The authorities here state that there
was every evidence that the robbery
was planned with the greatest cunning
and carried out darmgly. Nothing that
could not be negotiated easily was
touched and this. together with the
thoroughness with which the robbery
was carried out, seemed to indicate
that the letters were tempered with
before they were placed aboard the
Leviathan. which sailed from New York
on June Is.
The registered letters were in small
bags which had been sealed and placed
in larger bags containing unregistered
letters. These bags also were sealed
with a small red seal bearing the i'm
preston of the United States Post
Office.
The mail. which was in charge of the
United States sea postal staff while
aboard the liner, was landed at South
ampton last evening under such strict
supervision that 1t was considered inn
possible that they were interfered with
III any way. 1t was when the mail
reached its destination and the bags
containing the registered letters were
opened that the robbery was discov-
cred. The registered letters were found
TO have been split open and verything
of negotiable nature distracted.
Capt Cunningham, commander of
the Leviathan, said today that the
robbery could not possibly have been
perpetrated aboard the liner.
We unload the mailbagS at South
ampton," he said exactly in the same
condition as we took them ON board
The United States Government seal was
placed on the bags in the New York
post office. They then were brought To
the ship in mail automobiles with armed
guards: were placed in the mail room
and the door locked throughout the yoy-
age. Four armed Government postal
clerks were constantly on duty to see
that the bags were not touched"

Baby Is Smart If He Puts
Bright Ring i'm His Mouth
Young Mothers Convictions
Borne Out by Tests of
Learned Psychologists.
BIZ Science Service

BIZ Science Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE
young mothers conviction that
baby shows intelligence when he
puts pink celluloid ring into his
mouth, or when he Solemnly says
"Ooh!" is quite justified, for this is
just the sort of mental alertness
test that psychologists are giving to
infants.
A test intended to measure the
mental development of babies one
month of age up to one year has
been developed by H. E. Linfert and
H. M. Hierholtber, of the Catholic
University of America.
To find out what the average baby
can do at different ages, the psy-
biologists first tested normal babies
with a large number of situations
At l month of age, almost two
thirds of the babies would grasp
a bright pink ring placed at their
finger tips. BY months, SO per
cent OF the babies responded to this
test of their mental alertness.
None of the 1-month-old babies
tried to put the pink ring into his
mouth.
At 2 months, 2 per cent of the
babies already had discovered that
this would be a good idea, and at
months of age, 80 per cent of the
babies knew that putting the pink
ring into their mouths was a pleas
ing amusement.
Because of the rapid mental
progress of babies, two separate sets
Of tests were necessary. One set
measures babies up to 4 months,
and another set measures babies
from to IL months.
The difference in mental ability
between a baby 1 month old and a
baby IL months old is probably as
great as the difference between a
first grader at school and uni
versity student, the psychologists
state.

ATHEIST DEATH ,
CASE PROMISES
BITTER BATTLE
Alabama in Furore Over
Murder Mixup, Battling
, Legal Problem.
By United Press
RTRMTNGHi

BY Untted Press
BIRMINGHAM, Aug. THE age
old question as to whether the word
of an atheist is to be believed in a
court of law, promises to afford one
of the bitterest legal battle since the
Scopes evolution trial in Tennessee.
Forerunrfer of the legal tussle is
seen in local reports that the
American Association for the Ad-
varcement Of Atheism intends to
take part in the "inf1del death-bed
statement" case at Decatur, Ala.
If the association does act, there
is possibility that Clarence barrow,
internationally known attorney and
aChetist, and Arthur Garfield Hayes,
associated with him in the Tennes-
see monkey trial. may appear as
counsel.
The Decatur case grows out OF
the murder Of a man named
Marshall, who lived near that Ala
ANA, community. Marshall on his
death-bed accused his wife of the
Dldy lllSs OAlC WdO Cl1dA SCA Will
murder, tried and convicted.
After numerous trials and re-
trials, the case finally reached the
State Supreme Court, where it now
awaits decision. j. N. Powell of
Decatur, Mrs. Marshalls attorney,
has based his appeal on the con-
tention that arshall did not be-
lieve in punishment in the hereafter,
and that therefore his deathbed
statement ought to the ignored.
The Atheism association~is at
tempting to intervene in the case
on the side of the prosecution.

sion has been asked of Attorney
General G. C. Mccall for the asso-
ciation's attorney to submit a

PHILOSOPHER WILL
TEACH BY 'TALKIES'

Will Durant to Make Lectures
Through Movies.
BIZ United Press
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Aug. T.
Will. Durant plans to teach people
the subject of philosophy through
the medium Of the talking movie.
On a visit to his former home
here, the author disclosed that he
is now negotiating with a moving
picture firm to do philosophy for

His general idea is that he shall
write a history of several great
philosophers, each of which he will
deliver as a lecture.
The film, he declared, would open
with Durant in the role Of a lee
turer fater which it would pick up
the story Of the philosopher with
his voice synchronized.
