Brain Is More Active
 When Affected by Heat

Vienna, Austria, Nov. lG LF-ln- teresting experiments in applying diathermic waves through the skull bones to the large brain or Cercbrum are being carried out by Dr. Hans Hoff and Prof. Paul Schilder at the pSychiatric clinic in Vienna uni versity.
 It already had been discovered that the application Of cold and heat to the small brain or ccrebellum had the effect of reducing and incrcas- ing activity respectively.
 Efforts now are being made 10 reach the large brain with these waves and success will permit the possibility of applying diathermy to bring about an extension of the in- tcllectual faculties which have their seat in that organ,

DANIELS OUTLINES PEACE PROGRESS
Naval Supremacy and Impree-
 nable Defense Ideas Gone

Cleveland, Nov. 1G Pl-Two an cient forts of folly" are being de- molshed, in the opinion of Josephus Daniels, President Wilson's secretary of the navy. by the activities of Herbert Hoover and Ramsay Mac Donald
 These, lie sad, today in an ad- dress to the Cleveland City club, are the traditional British idea of the necessity of naval supremacy. and the old American dream of i'm pregnable defense"
 Sea Domination Over
 A third fort of folly" lies just ahead, Daniels continued, and that is the old notion that the seas may be monopolized by a few nations and it's lanes dominated by a few big gun navies."
 After agreeing upon naval parity, and to give life to che Kellogg Briand treaty, the next step, he said is for Great Britain and America to seek a solution of the problem of the freedom of the seas An agree ment upon this problem he declared to be the foundation of peace. He suggested that congress enact a law prohibiting American trade with any nation that goes to war after ratify- ing the anti-War treaty.
 Europe Not Enthusiastic
 Tn his Armistice day speech President Hoover suggested that in war food ships should have the same status as hospital ships,' Daniels said. The suggestion was at first well received in America, but over seas it has not met with much en- thusiasm. Anything that squints at discussion of freedom of the seas gets little consideration in London. inasmuch as it is not in harmony with ending war by boycott, the league of nations countries regard it as a step in the wrong direction How can you feed civilian popula- tions and be sure you are not feed- ing the army of that country. Explains Hooyer'S Reasons
 Here at home. regret has been expressed that President Hoover did not include it in the discussion of the London conference He doubtless feels that, when strictly naval prob lens are up for discussion it is bet ter to send up a trial balloon than to go up in one"

CHILDREN MENACED
 BY AUTO DRIVERS
School Board Wants Extension
 Of Police Protection

Acting on motion of Committees man Joseph N. Ward. who had call cd the attention Of the school board to the need of better police protcc- ton in the ncighhOrhood of the Lin- coin school. the board, at it's meeting yesterday afternoon, voted to request the police department 10 furnish a schedule which would show the time the policemen are on duty in each school district.
 MT. Ward told the members his sons bicycle had been struck by an automobile. The boy escaped unin- iured but the bicycle was ruined. He spoke of an accident recently in which a boy was seriously injured.
 There are many occasions when the school is not given the benefit of police protection, he said. At one time the question of protection brought the answer from the police department that the policemen are not always available at the time the school children are on the streets.
 @'N tiilS IoiIit '-oIIIlltllltflildb " H. liam II. Day said he could not think Of greater need than the protection of children during the last hours of the afternoon. It was his opinion that if all the banks in town were robbed the loss would not be as great as that occasioned by child s death by accident.
 He said he has seen an unusual number of policemen about the streets in the afternoon and they do not seem to have any great problem which would require their absence from school districts
 Supt Holmes said the traffic problem is one of the serious worries Of school authorities. At the Elihu Burritt school older pupils act as traffic officers.
 Committeeman Day later brought up the question of having police man in full uniform at the meet ings of the Nathan Hale Juniol High school Parents and Teachers meetings, He said boys in the rear of the hall make considerable noise. The janitor a special police man, tries to stop them. An off Ger with brass buttons would be ar influence for good, MT. Day said
 It was voted to have a speciaI committee Of three appointed tC arrange a schedule of rental prices for the new auditorium at the Sen. for High school. This matter was brought up by Acting Chairman Joseph M. Halloran.
 The school accommodations com. mittc report in reference to tn, need for $5O,0O0 more to complct' the Senior High school addition was presented by Committeeman George Levitt He spoke for l, minutes and in detail explained tn, various items. Although the tota | need is $50, ,222.27 Mr. Levitt tolt the members they could get througl if the board Of finance and taxa tion would appropriate $50,000.
 It was Committeeman Days con, tention that the board should asl for $51,00O. He felt that it woul. be better to return unspcnt money rather than to go back to tn, finance board and ask for more.

Delegation Presents Pe- tition to the Board of Education, Conforming Housing Conditions at Institution.

That the Northend school on Bas- Sett street iss a fire trap, insanitary and unhealthful from the standpoint Of teacher and pupil was the opinion ot the parents in the district as ex- pressed by three representatives of the schools Parents and Teachers association and presented a petition for a new school.
 They were, President Francis 'Clark, Thomas Hinchliffe and Ben Jamin Clark.
 President Clark told the school board that the Parents and Teach CTS association. at a meeting held last Tuesday. voted to have d peti- lion prepared. He said pupils have been housed in portable buildings for three years and this is the be- ginning of the fourth year. It was the opinion of the people in the dis trict that such treatment was unfair 10 the pupils and teachers.
 He said the pupils are not prepar- ed properly when they enter junior high school and are at a disadvan- tage compared with children from the other sections of the city. He lauded the teaching staff which, he said was as good if not better than any in the New Britain system but informed the members that they are handicapped. The reason for com plaint is the plant, he said.
 Tt is not the teachers who are the sufferers, MT. Clark declared. He said the pupils have to face the dan gers of slush, rain and sleet which may result in serious illness He told of an instance where a teacher in the portable building had 10 be mov- ed to the main plant because of the unhealthful conditions.
 According to MT. Clark the janitor regrets he took the job. Because of the antiquatcd condition of the fur mace it is necessary for him to ar rive at 5:30 o'clock in order to pro- vide sufficient heat by the time the morning session begins.
 He referred to the building as a fire trap and an old fashioned struc- ture which is nearly 50 years old He said the children do well on fire drill but that 1t would be q different story if fire actually broke out. He expressed dissatisfaction with the kindergarten accommodations There IS no auditorium, th5 art class is a room feet by 24 or 25 feet, and there is no music room. he said.
 Benjamin Clark said the new tHh nI movement to start the construction of new school would be backed by everyone in the district. He con- inued:
 "The taxpayer may holler about the increase in taxes but let them holler. We have been paying the taxes and the people in the other districts have been getting the gravy"
 On request of Acting Chairman Joseph NJ. Halloran the following petition was filed with the board:
 At meeting of the Parents and Teachers association of the North nnd school, held in the building of The school proper, it was voted by all present, that new school build ,ng is urgently needed
 The undersigned is list of those parents present at the above meeting. Most of these parents are taxpayers in this city, and they de- hand that steps be taken toward he erection of q new, modern and hp-to- date building either on the premises of the present building or

Northend School District Parents
 Want Modern Building to Replace
 Structure Now Nearly 50 Years Old

in-the near vicinity, at the discretion of the school committee.
 "The present building is a very unhealthy building with very little accommodations for the welfare of our children. The rooms are old, small and far from being pleasant for the convenience of children of the present age. The rooms are overcrowded and it is making the problem of educating our children a serious problem. Furthermore, We wish to warn you of the fire trap that this building presents. and trust that your committee will act before a fire breaks out and some- thing serious develops. The chil- dren's lavatories are located in the basement, place hard to get in and out of for not only children but grownups They are so constructed that they cannot be kept in a healthy condition for our children. They are not modern in any re- spect. A very unsanitary condition exists there which cannot be rem edied without great expense in this old building.
 Some of our children are housed in the portable school. What is the result of this The ones who sit near the heater are too warm and the others away from the heater are too cold and have to sit with their arctics over their shoes to keep warm. A very unhealthy con- dition exists here which is not any credit to the Northend school. , We demand that this portable school be done away with. A new building should be erected which will ac- comm odate all the children in this school district so that new portable building will be necessary. Other districts where the need of a new building was not so great as it is in and got them and we now ask that action be taken immediately by your worthy committee.
 Respectfully,
 School Children"
 Parents of theNorthend
 P. s. We might also add that this school has no auditorium or gym nasum and when we have a par cnts and teachers meeting. we have to crowd into the Kindergarten room and there is no room for half of the parents who attend these meetings, and they refuse to stand outside the door, and strain their ears, so they leave for their homes without getting the full benefit of the meetings. A new building will remedy this con- dition.
 Mrs. Laura P. Mangan is a mem- Der of the board and resident in the district.
 Benjamin Clark referred to the American Education Week posters which bore the statement You pay for the schools, why not pay them a visit?" In answer he quoted a parents as saying:
 "Yes, we pay for them but what do we 'get?"
 The Northend school representa- lives were dismissed and when the matter was taken up later at the school board meeting it was referred to the school accommodations com- mittee.

Unemployment has been the lead

Former Premier David Lloyd
George, liberal leader, is advocating
great national scheme OF road
building, nlodernization Of railroads
and other public works.
Conservatives and laborites,
countered with the charge that
Lloyd George was talking through
his hat chiefly because he knew
the liberal party would not be re-
turned to power.
With only As liberal M. P,'s In
the last Parliament. liberals can
not hope for more than so in the
new.
Labor advocates practically the
same schemes as the liberals, al
though they do not claim to be
able to solve the unemployment
problem in a year. Liberal and
laborites agree that the millions
used annually for relief of unem-
ployed, could be better spent in
providing constructive work for
