COUNCIL MAY SHELVE
 !. PIPER BROOK CULYER7
Project Expected to Go On Table to Determine
 Expense

Tabling by the common council for at least a month of the Piper brook culvert contract appeared to be probable today after a conference between Mayor Quigley, City En- gineer Philip A. Merriam and Coun- Cilman William s. Scheuy of the first ward, opponent of the measure from the start.
 Councilman Scheuy arranged to- days meeting to discuss probable costs. He pointed out that out of an original appropriation of S15,- coo. the sum of SITS has already been expended. The low bid on the cUlvert job. that of Peter Suzio and staff, is s5,390, and this does not in clude cement, reinforcement iron, lumber, etc. The margin to cover the costs of materials which must be furnished by the city is several thousands of dollars less than Scheuy estimates the cost will be, and his figures were agreed to by the engineering department.
 His suggestion to the council to- night will be tabling to allow the board of public works to work out a less costly scheme. thereby remain ing within the appropriation.

PROF. FINDS CAUSE
 0F JUVENILE URGE
Psychologist Faces Source Of
 Tree Sitting Epidemic
BLAMES ENDURANCE TEST
Member of Northwestern Univer- stty Faculty Says Desire to Imi- tate Is Responsible for Large Crop of Would-be Champions.

Chicagos July IS UP)-Why boys-and girls, too-climb trees and just sit there instead of playing baseball or going swimming these summer days was explained today by Prof H. C. Coffman, psychologist at Northwestern university as a desire to emulate the famous Hunter brothers and "Shipwreck" Kelly.
 The lure of fame that drove John and Kenneth Hunter to fly their monoplane for 553 hours and Kelly to perch atop fagpoles, also drove scores of boys and girls from their swimming holes and dolls to the boughs of midwestern trees to sit for hours and even days for a myth ical title that has no national sanc- ton and certainly none in parental circles.
 1.-The many 'marathons' have come almost at once, which inspires boys to endurance feats, and sitting in trees is about as high in the air as they can get" Prof. Coffman said.
 When one boys starts, others i'm itate, each one trying to be a lead er," the professor added.
 The idea behind all the tree sit ting, the professor said, is imita- tional and not instinctive as many midwestern parents concluded when their children took to the trees like monkeys.
 It was less than two weeks ago that Jimmy Clemons of Racine, Wis, started the tree sitting craze. He re- mained tip a day and a half to be- come the original tree sitting cham pion.
 Today the endurance fad had spread half way across the country and from Michigan to Texas.
 The claim of Jack Richards, 14, that he had been tree sitting longer than anybody else was not disputed, but in scores of trees there were boys and girls who were not many hours behind him.
 Jack passed the 140 hour mark today and received the worlds trib- ute when news reel cameramen visit ed him.

 Intend to Remain Plain
 Folks if They Do.

Mrs. Marian Wiley Sanhorn, wife of Clifton J. Sanborn, and Mrs. Os- car J. Austin. her sister, both of 323 Maple street, are spending their time planning what they are going to do when they become millionaires for that is the attractive prospect held out to them by their aunt, Mrs. Charles Baker of Peru, N. Y.
 According to information received by the two local women in a letter from their aunt, they are two Of about 125 heirs who will share in s171 100000 already offered by the city of Montreal. Canada, for land which 99 years ago was leased to the city by one of their ancestors. The lease will expire late in Sep tember and it will then be up to the heirs to dispose of the property which is said to be in the heart of Montreals business district.
 The estate seems like myth to y the local residents and they hesitate to place confidence in the letter fearing that 1t is "too good to be true" They were retiCent in dis cussing the subject today because they did not wish to be leased by friends if the report proved to be false. Lack of detailed information also prevented their discussing the estate more fully.

 Romantic Past
 Mrs. Sanborn before her marriage was Miss Marian Wiley of Lyndon vile. Vt, and the history of her fam fly is a page from the early pioneer days when the founder of the Amer ican branch of the family came here in 1889 from Wales. After settling in Vermont the family stayed there until the present generation so far as Mrs. Sanborn knows. Some rela- tives have made their way to New York state and Mrs. Sanborn and Mrs Austin are in New Britain but there is no record of anyone having settled in Montreal. There are two other sisters: Mrs. Louis Sentabar of Watertown, and Mrs. Earl Miles of Sheffield Nt. The mother, Mrs. War ner Wiley still resides in Lyndon vile. Vt. It was here that Maribe, now Mrs. Austin, worked as a book keeper and Marian taught school in Sheffield, later marrying Sanborn, a painting contra ctor.
 Will Remain in City
 If their dream of an inheritance comes true both intend 10 remain in New Britain and Mrs. Austin stoutly insists that she will even do her own housework. Her husband is employed by Landers, Frary & Clark.
 Although all their plans are more Or less indefinite one of the family Is quite certain of his future.
