Scientists to Study Fish 0t
 Bahama Islands

Spring Lake. N. J.. Feb. IT (UP) For years scientists have debated whether . shark will attack . hu- man being unless provoked and Van Camper Heilner, field repre- sentative of the American Museum of Natural History, has determined to find out for himself.
 Heilner left here today to sail from New York for the Bahamas.
 Armed with only sharp dagger he will plunge into shark infested waters Of the tropics until the question of sharkly appetite is an- swered.
 A motion picture camera will ac- company Heilner. The former will be placed in glass-bottom box of the scientists own design and grind out the true story of Heilner's experiment.
 Tt has long been my view that only the white shark and the bara- cuda will attack . white swimmer" {" Heilner said on leaving his home here. Opinions vary. however. and most persons believe any kind of shark will attack white man. Within . few weeks I hope to prove my theory correct"
 While in the tropics Heilner also will attempt to bring to the surface several canno& believed to have been lost by the pirate. John Teach. otherwise known az Blackboard" {" Several years ago Heilner detected the cannon on q coral reef in 70 feet of water.

Freedom of Seas Is a
 Peace Guarantee-Plunkett

New York. Feb. 17.-(R-Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett. retired. in his first public statement as a private citizen asserted that absolute freedom Of the seas offers the surest guarantee for international peace.
 The former navy officer. who drew down official wrath upon his head for statement in a public ad- dress that due to trade rivalry the United States was nearer war today than at any time in history, said:
 "Eliminate the rights of blockade, establish the right of merchant ves- sells to come and go in peace and war. and you will destroy the use fitness of submarines, of cruisers, of navies generally. But the trouble is. there is one nation in the world that will never agree to the freedom of the seas, and you know what nation I mean as well as I do."

SAY NERVES ARE
 FOUND IN CANCER
Heretofore Have Been Considered
 as Separate Organisms

Montreal, Que. Feb. IT (UP)- A discovery. said to be of utmost importance in cancer research work. has been announced by the McGill Pathological Institute and deals with the presence of nerves in cau- cer and other humorous growths.
 The announcement was contained in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and was written by Dr. Horst Oertel of the Pathological h. stitute.
 The importance of the discovery, the announcement said, was that heretofore cancers had been consid- cred separate organisms, with cell bodies of their own. Discovery of the presence of nerves points to a possibility of connecting cancers with the nervous system.
 New possibilities for advance in the knowledge of tumors and their treatment are opened" Dr. Oertel wrote.
 His statement of the finding, in part said:
 "The recognition that human cancers are supplied with and carry nerves is an important forward step in the knowledge of cancer and throws a new light on the problems of it's nature and growth.
 For one thing, it establishes that the cancer Is not an independent and self contained growth of cells as has 50 far been assumed and 1t points the way to g possible con- nection of the cancerous growth with the nervous system"

SAY WAYWARDNESS CAUSED BY FOOD
Physcian Speks Before Chr icter Development Association

Chicago. Feb. l7.-(UPl-The
 black sheep" of many q family can
 blame his waywardness on eating the wrong sort of food in his child hood.
 The family may be of excellent stock: tho environment may have been of tho, best. and the child's training may have been along the most modern. scientific lines-but a lack of milk in the infantile diet may ruin his life and send him along the paths of incorrigibility.
 Correcting the first signs of ab- normality by building up health is one of the most important methods Of developing character in the child, Dr. Florence Mateer. noted clinical psychologist of Columbus. O., told the midwest conference on charac- ter development today.
 ''The physical condition of the child determines . great many of his feelings, and consequently guides
 much of his emotional life." Dr. Mateer said.
 Lack of milk or other calcium substance. for example. affects body glands, she explained. Defective glands lead successively to such things as fatigue, self-pity. depres- sion. fear. waywardness and even 1 suicide. The child also may suffer
 from body abnormalities such as he and his parents never knew existed
 until 1t was too late to correct them.
 The usual attitude is to ignore
 the emotional disturbances which
 result. or to attribute them to com
 plexes.' but even most conlplexes , would have little chance to affect ! the child if he were in perfect 1 health." Dr. Mateer said.
