Harvard Professor Tells ' American Philosophical Society Cave Men Once Lived in Philippines -
 Finds Remains.

Philadelphia, April 2S (Pt-Proto- plasm, the primary living substance that makes all creatures, lost part Of it's mystery at the American Philosophical Society Saturday.
 Discovery of the mechanism which makes it so active, as if in dcwed with independent life. was reported by Prof. L. V. Heilbrunn O. the University of Pennsylvania This mechanism is the ability when disturbed 10 form films about itself. making them from the calcium in the body. It is a sort of primitive power to self protection.
 For a long time" said Prof. Eeilbrunn, "it has been realized that the essential mysteries of life and the process of living arc bound up in the properties of a material found in all living things, a material which can be examined under the microscope and which is called pro- toplasm. Both from the standpoint Of interest and of human welfare it is important that We study the properties of protoplasm.
 Dr. Heilbrunn said he found first that it is extraordinarily sensitive, # so much so that when disturbed il | thickens rather quickly, so as tC | flow three or four times less read l lily. To explain this thickening he said 'evidence is growing" that It comes from the protoplasm forming films about itself.
 Used Rays in Test 1 As each bit of protoplasm lives | safely behind the walls of it's OWL cell, the disturbance in this tiny home were obtained by ultra violet rays, electric currents and other | stmulants.
 Tt seems" said Prof. Heinlbrunn "as though one of the most essen. | tial characteristics of the living substance is its property of imm2- diatcly forming a film about itself whenever it is injured, And it is | apparently trlo that this property which may have been the first tn | dffercntiatc thc living substance from the non-living, is also respon- siblc for much of the activity of | protoplasm.
 Perhaps in sense we can say that the living substance owes its vital qualities to the fact that it was so evolved as to be able to profit from its injuries. But whether this is true, it can certainly be show l that the unique behavior of proto-

 Buffalo Hospital Cot

Buffalo, N. Y, April 2S (UP)
 Lila Jimerson has spent her last day in the City hospital, doctors an- nounced today.
 The 35 year old Indian, conyicteu on her own plea of guilty to second degree murder in connection with the killing of Mrs. Clothilde Mar- chand on March 6, will be trans- ferred to the Erie county jail, they said.

New Phone Switchboard
 Installed at N. B. H. s

X telephone switchboard has been installed in the main office of the local Senior High school to facili- tate the receiving of telephone calls throughout the building. Since the new building was built it became increasingly difficult to receive calls because of the distance the teach CTS had to travel to the office and the resultant loss of time.
 The switchboard will be in oper- alton whenever school is in session, but no toll calls will be allowed to pass through, and whenever the main line leading into the school is connected with Principal Louis r. Slade's office, the switchboard is not in use.

San Quentin, the Worlds Largest Convict Colony, to Get Nearly S2,OOO,OOO for Buildings - Some Admit Fire Menace.
The following is the third and last of a series of stories on prison con- ditions throughout the United States.

Denver, Colo, April 2S (UP)- extensive building programs to re- lleve crowded prison conditions.
 California has spent or will spend $1,445,0 1000 on prison buildings and improvements during a two year period in 1929-1931.
 The Ibudgct of that state for the next 10 years gives San Quentin prison s1,S70,00O and Folsom pris- on $1,155,0O0.
 There are nearly 5000 Convicts in San Quentin, largest penal colony in the world. At Folsom prison where 13 were killed in a mutiny in 1927, the inmates number approximately 1,400.
 Convicts at the Colorado state penitentiary at Cannon City. scene of a revolt last October in which 8 died, are at work on a new $113,- GOO cell house and a new $S5,000 central prison building.
 A new cell block costing s150,o00 Is being built at the Wyoming state prison at Rawlins. The prison was constructed for o75 inmates and now houses 356.
 Has Building Program
 With the New Mexico state prison filled to capacity with 500 inmates, the warden will recommend a gen erous building program to the next legislature.
 Utah's state prison is amply large for it's 300 convicts. The fire hazard is considered negligible. All cells can be emptied in four inmates.
 The Oregon state penitentiary at Salem, built for 400 holds 500 con- Nicts. Some of them are housed 1r temporary barracks and corridors Each cell has to be unlocked sep arately. Buildings arc roofed witf wood.
 While all the buildings at Sar Quentin and Folsom are not of fire proof construction, the men arc not locked in any structures regarded as possible fire hazards. Both prison: have ample water and well trained fire departments.
 At the Canon City penitentiary new fire equipment has been pur. chased since the riot last October Fire brigades have been organized among employees. New water mains are being laid to connect all part: of the penitentiary with the munici pal supply.
 The new cell house. the first pro vidcd by the legislature in moro than a quarter of a century, is to bc of ftreproof construction. It vii make possible segregation of harden cd criminals from the younger in mates. The number of inmates a Cannon City has increased from 54; to LIZA in the past 10 years, prisol records show.
 Recommendation for sweeping reforms in laws governing the insti tuition will be made to the Colorado legislature next January in the re port of a special committee whicl investigated the bloody October re bellion.
