Words always are reproduced more
clearly and intelligibly from the nerve.
Those from the brain stem, while
often ineligible, always are somewhat
blurred"
After death the nerves Of hearing
remain alive sometimes for several
minutes, at least to the extent OF con-
tinuing to transmit sound. But some
other areas cease transmission with
the last heart beat, and sometimes stop
several minutes before death.
Another new finding Is the enect
OF narcotics, which decrease the "sizs"
OF the sounds. In some instances mar
cotics stop the sound transmission ale
together for several hours. Novccaine
was the narcotic, being applied directly
to parts Of the brain.
The report says the experiments
demonstrate the possibility Of direct
study OF the activity Of individual
tracts within the central nervous sys-
tenn. This system comprises the nerves
that control the conscious movements,
such as the hand IN picking up glass.
For several years scientists have been
discovering various bits Of evidence that
nerves probably operate through some
sort of natural electrical iEnpulze.

WOMAN USES GUN
AFTER CAR CRASH
FIees Scene of Wreck After

Maryland and Virginia authorities
joined metropolitan police this after
noon in search for q well-dressed young
woman In a green Cadillac coupe who
shortly after / o'clock fed from an
automobile collision near Fifteenth and
p streets after threatening the driver Of
the other car with revolver.
The woman, accompanied by a man
said to have been driving the car at the
time OF the accident, was last seen
driving north on Sixteenth street, ac-
cording to Arthur McDermott, rs, of
Hyattsville. Md. driver of the other car.
Police broadcast q lookout on all
roads leading out of Washington. The
automobile carried Florida license tags
and the numbers were furnished by
witnesses. Efforts to learn the identity
of the owners also were mace by tele-
graphic inquiry.
Says Driver Cursed Him.
The argument which preceded the
display of the gun by the woman took
place in front of 1918 p street during
driving rainstorm. McDermott, who
operates garage IN the rear OF that
address. was returning to his shop. he
said, when his machine was sideswiped
by the other car.
The driver OF the Cadillac, q middle
sized. well dressed man. shouted several
curses at him, he said although neither
car had been damaged to any extent.

driver got out of their cars and adj

from side pocket OF the car before
concealing 1t under the fur as she
walked toward him, McDermott added.

BIZ the Associated Press
NEW YORK. August 2i.-Existence
in a cats brain of q lifelike telephone
central operating by minute natural
electrical currents, has been found ut
Harvard Medical School.
The discovery Is described today in
Science. Official organ of the American
Association for the Advancement OF
science, by Fl. Davis and L. j. Saul of
the Department Of Physiology and
Psychiatry.
They confirmed and developed dis
coyery made about year ago at
princeton University that by talking
into live cats ear, suitably hooked
up to q highly sensitive telephone cir
cult, human speech can be transmitted
clearly over the nerves OF hearing
through the cats brain and out along
metal wires terminating in phone
earpiece.
They found that in addition to the
nerves Of hearing operating electrically
like 3 telephone line. there are also
certain areas In the brain close TO the
auditory nerves. which transmit sound.
These A71acent aXstems correspond
roughly To the side SyseeTns of tele-
phone exchange. They night also be
descrabed loosely as side baflnis OF some
sort In the Harvard e1Derimerts
these side areas did notMAEshsni as
