Science
Discovery OF Emotion
Pulse" Announced"

Discovery of an emotion pulse"--the
chronaxie of the vestibular nerves
announced in the Journal Of the French
Academy Of Sciences.
The vestibular nerve is associated
with the sense OF equilibrium. The chro-
make of a nerve Is the ratio between
the strength and minimum duration
of an electrical impulse which will slim
ulate it.
In experiments reported by M.
Georges Bourguignon it was shown that
human beings appear to be divided into
sharply differentiated claSses-those Of
low and those of high vestihular chro-
make. The lows" are highly emotional.
The highs" display little emotion.
Bourguignon followed up his discov-
cry among the insane. Working with a
stuporous class, he found the lowest yes
tubular chronaxie among them was 40
times that of the smallest and ~ times
that Of the greatest among the normal
person tested. The highest was 100
times the lowest and so times the high
est among normals. There were vAria-
tions from day to day. an increase in
vestibular chronaXie always being as
sociated with an increase in stupor.
Among highly eXcitable maniacs the
relations were almost exactly the re-
verse. The more they were excited the
lower was the vestibular chronaxie.

bers of the commission into executive
session for discussion OF the matter

That the commission members have
divergent ideas as to what should be
done was indicated in the closing days
Of the hearing.
Several Decisions Possible.
Commissioner Farrell during final
arguments for the railroads said he had
read daily abstracts of the testimony
and nowhere had he been able to find
the railroads had refuted statements Of
shippers that an increase would drive
freight to trucks and water lines 9th
er commissioners asked questions and
made statements which led to the con-
clusion they were in doubt as to what
should be done
Several decisions are possible. Be-
sizes nat refusal or full granting of
the demand the commission may grant
part of the increase asked. It NAV
grant increases on some classes Of

act subject to congressional approval.
Another. Long Task Faced.

FOR COAL CONTROL

Needed Before Such Plan
Can Be Adopted.

Secretary Of Commerce Lamont to-
day expressed the opinion that the Fed
eral Government was without authority

production operations in the soft coal
or any other industry.
Advocating cooperation among op-
orators toward such an end, Secretary
Lamont said the question seemed to be
largely one for legislative rather than
administrative action"
Advocated Control.
He suggested the possibility Of enact
ment Of legislation which would per-
NIT the organization OF operators to
control their own industry without in
ringing on the basic principles of the
antitrust laws.
Government regulation was suggested
to Secretary Lamont and Secretary OF
Labor Doak at a conference of coal OPP
e!atives here several months ago. It
was made by j. A. Morrow, president
OF the Pittsburgh Coal Co., one Of the
largest producers Of soft coal in the
country, as q means of stabilizing the

 Teem With Humor
 "The lines and situations of the play teem with humor, and virtu- ally an all-star cast gives an in depreciation that leaves nothing to be desired.
 Anybody who has ever seen and heard Horton will want to see and hear him again. He has probably the merriest role of his career in Lonely Wives He appears in a new version of the Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde idea.
 "A lawyer of dignity and attain ment in the day time, Horton lees all his natural endowments when the clock strikes each evening.
 Blooms at 8 P. M.
 "In his own words, he blooms and when this event takes place the erstwhile ornament of the bar wants to go places and do vast variety of things, with woman as the attraction.
 There is nobody but what will get hearty laughs out of this latest of hilarious characterizations by Horton"
