this were whispered about as the high
school students filed into the Jr High
auditorium last Friday. Yet there was

During the first few minutes of the
program, sponsored and put on by the
Honor society, Joe Fennessy gave a
short talk on the merits of the society,
after which MIR. Wood presented the

was presented with a TWO bar pin.
Dorothy Zawadke was the only one
who received the highest honor the
society can give, Torch pin.
Mr.. Vogt presented George Rusher
and Charles Martin with the track
awards they earned last spring.

CLINTON COUNTY
LEADS FIGHT ON
TAX VALUATIONS
Appeal Sent to Remaining
Groups to Protest
Assessments.

Indiana farmers and property
owners were called upon today to
battle any attempt of the state tax
board to MAINTAIN artificial valua-
lions for taxation purposes.
Organized opposition through
county taxpayers organizations and
special committees is urged in a
circular appeal issued by the Gin
ton County Taxpayers Association,
leading the fight.
Plans provide for entire delega-
tons to call upon the state tax
board and its field men, and de-
mand that the 1927 statute regard
ing valuations for taxation be adj
hered to strictly.
Edward A. Stinson of Frankfort
secretary of the Clinton county as
ISOLATION, and one of the two In
diana directors of American Tax
payers League, opened the cam
paign with a letter.
Speed is solicited because the state
tax board has issued notice that
its field men are to meet in Indian
apolis Feb. l to discuss 1882 reval-
uation methods.
The letter declares that the Gin

that at these conferences ''the state
board will give overburdened taxpay-
ers a concrete example of commits
sion dictatorship, unless the people
formulate an ultimatum in each
county"
Delegations should then be sent
to the various meetings, the letter
says, and a demand be made that
the law be followed. The 1927 stat
ute provides that:
I'm determining the true cash
value of real estate, in making
assessments for the purpose of tax
alton, such real estate shall be
assessed at its actual cash value,
exclusive of any growing crops,
vegetables or fruit trees, which may
be found growing upon it at the
time.
Stinson pointed out that farm
land values have dropped to new
low levels, and assessors are at
tempting to maintain the valuations
at preposterous prices.

SHORT WAVE TESTS
BEAR OUT MARCON|
Experiments Made by Amer

Partially Successful.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 27-The bend
ing of ultra sho t waves recently an
nounced by Guglielmo Marconi, radios
pioneer wizard is a problem with which
American engineers also have been
wrestling, with some success.
Their investigations with radio waves
so short that they approach the char
acteristics of light have led to develop
ments by which it is possible to receive
them below or beyond the range OF
vision.
In the earlier experiments, the theory
became generally accepted that waves
in the spectrum below eight meters
Travelled only as far as one could see
from a high building-that is, not
beyond the limit of sight fixed by the
curvature of the earth. Now they are
of the opinion that this range OF
vision" limitation does not hold true.

strated that signals could be received on
the other side Of the curve" or hori-
zon, through method which he de-
scribed as wave bending"
Apparatus in Use.
One man on this side Of the Atlantic
who has done much experimenting in
the same line is H. II. Beverage, chief
research engineer for r. G. A. commu-
nications.
He discloses that I'VE have been
aware of the possibility OF receiving
ultra short waves below the visible horl-
zon, to a degree, for some time. In fact,
commercial apparatus Of our design, by
means of which this Is accomplished,
has been in daily operation for months
in the Hawaiian Islands. Telephone
land lines there are augmented by the
ultra short wave radio telephone. In
one of these radio circuits, seven-meter
waves travel 100 miles. Communlca-
ton being accomplished Sc miles be-
ond the horizon. or 1000 feet below
the line Of sight.
"On an experimental basis, we have
received 68-centimeter waves-Marconi
used ST centimeters-from Rocky Point,
Long Island on the eighty-fifth floor
of the Empire State Building in New
York City This is about 600 feet be-
low the line OF sight.
I'm ultra short waves. we are dealing
with waves so close to the wave lengths
of light that they exhibit some char
acteristics of light. Theoretically light
travels in straight line, and 1t Is
because early experiments with ultra
short waves we're successful only in
the line of vision that they were as
sumed to have the same limitations as
light But a beam of light will dis
perse rays at angles to its line of travel
even though these rays may be so feeble
as to be observable only by sensitive
devices.

apparently takes place. making it pos

sible to receive signals below the hori-
zon. This may not appear to justify
the term beam bending but expert
mentation in receiving these waves
lower and lower below the horizon
raises the question whether 'strays'
alone account for some Of the distances
covered
1T is becoming more apparent that
ultra short waves, falling short OF be-
ing actual light, may retain enough
of the characteristics Of longer waves
to render them usable over great dis
tances. when the technique In handling
them is fully developed
I'VE do not share the reported view
of some engineers that Senator Mar
conf may not actually have bent ultra
short waves around the horizon. al
though on the basis Of our own expert
ments we can appreciate that their
skepticism may be based on scientific
observations.
"Marconi was the first man to reduce
radio experimentation to a practical
system for communication. He also
pioneered in demonstrating that short
waves were an extremely effective me-
dunn for long-range transmission, and
think we may expect that he has COM

CAUSE Of BURKE'S
DEATH UNCERTAIN
Temporary Certificate" Is
sued in Case of Ex-
Policeman Here.

A temporary certificate" was issued
by Acting Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald yesterday afternoon to cover
the death of former Policeman William
F. Burke pending an analysis to de-
termine whether an overdose of a sleep
ing drug caused his heart to fail.
An autopsy performed at the District
Morgue indicated Burke died of nat
ural causes, DR.. Macdonald said, but
the discovery Of several sleeping drug
bottles in the room in which the ex-
policeman was found made the analysis
necessary. A report on the analysis,
which Is being made by the District
chemist. is expected by tomorrow or
Tuesday, the acting coroner said.
Burial Set Tuesday.
Meanwhile, he explained, the tempo
rary certificate" was issued in order to
permit the release of Burke's body for
burial Tuesday. Interment will follow
a requiem mass In st. Francis de Sales
Catholic Church at 9 am.
Burke, who was dismissed from the
police force in December, 1880, was
found dead yesterday morning in a
rooning house at 1908 N street by an
other roomer. Walter McColum He
had not been seen since about pm
Friday, when. according to Detective
Sergts Jack Dalglish and George Dar-
nall. he went to the lodging house

Burke became policeman in 1916
and served in various capacities, in
cluding posts on the old vice squad, un-
der Lieut.. c. j. Letterman, and as pre-
cinct detective. He was dismissed after
the Police Trial Board found him guilty
Of being under the influence of liquor

ter Of guesswork, but now 1t is known
that each species has definite number
of genes or heredity units, which serve
as a measurable unit of evolution"
In this connection, he asserted there
is no genetical relationship between
man and apes, but both are descended
from a common ancestor "Dryopithe-
Gus" a creature that lived 12,0o0,oo
years ago.
There is evidence that some families
NAV have a tendency to inherit suscep-
tibility to cancer. reported Madge Mack
lin OF the University of Western On
tario, Canada When the same type
of cancer appears in the same organ
at approximately the same age in more
than one member of family, there is
furnished excellent evidence that the
tumor is inherited" she said.
Her study of statistics shows that in
some families tumors occur in per-
centage of cases that is so far in excess
of the percentage found in the general
population of the same age group that
the only plausible explanation is that
cancer in that family is hereditary.

Cambridge University. England. No one
knows. however, whether the proto-
gene simply started the chain of life
ages ago, or whether it Is still creating
new life on earth today.
Would Control Race.
This same chain OF life now has
reached the point where the human
race could completely control its own
future, If scientists were free to make
use Of their present knowledge, DR..
Hurst said. Laws of heredity now are
we'll enough understood TO produce at
will almost any kind OF individual de-
sired.
BY proper mating. it now is possible
to produce a human being who is physl-
cally perfect according to present stand
ards and scientists have worked out an
exact formula for producing a musical
genius equal in ability to the famous
composer Bach, for example. They
even know what genes, or units OF
heredity, control musical ability.
Dr. Hurst pointed out. however, that
to be entirely controlled by scientists
to achieve such results. and the human
race is not ready for this.
The mind of man is the product Of
complex genes that have developed
from the original protogene, DR.. Hurst
said
There are indications" he went on,
that the conceptual mind Of man is
evolving and progressing rapidly in the
direction of gaining more control over
nature. matter and life. and the time
may come when natural selection will
be replaced by human selection, and
man. by the development Of his con-
ceptual mind will himself organize,
control and guide creative evolution"

This protogene, too small to be seen

secret Of how life can be created out OF
inanimate matter. according to the
