Torrid Primary
 Battle Opens
 At 4 O'clock
BIewitt Walker.Whelan Group Seek to Dust Sandland as Leader in Fifth Predict 400 Votes Out of TIA Eligible-Rest of Ticket Goes Through as Slated

The primaries today are a pre- liminary to the city convention scheduled for Friday night. The delegates elected tonight will se- lect eight delegates to the state convention. The primaries tonight will also elect members to the town committee for the ensuing two years.
 In the fifth ward several changes in the makeup of the town committee are proposed by the insurgent group. However, should the insurgents control the fifth ward delegation to the city convention there is nothing to pre- vent the overwhelming organiza- ton majority from sending dele gates of its own choice to the state convention.
 The real fight is between Ex- Mayor Sandland and MT Blewitt. The latter wants Ex-Mayor Sand lands place on the state central committee. However, the nomi. mating of the state central com mitteeman is in the hands of the delegates to the state convention and if four out of the five wards in the city favor Ex-Mayor Sand land for reelection to the central committee 1t Is not believed that the small minority of insurgents in the fifth ward could bring about any change in plans.
 Therefore, today's fifth ward primary was not taken seriously by the republican organization as a whole in the city. The regular organization in the 4th ward, which is part of the 18th sena- torial district represented by Ex- Mayor Sandland on the central committee, is behind him for re- election. Therefore, If the city convention chooses to do so, it can ignore any slate of delegates of- fered by the Blewitt- Whelan- Wal ker combine and send delegates to the state session favorable to Ex- Mayor Sandlands reelection.
 In view of the insignificance or the fifth ward battle. local politi- clans expressed the opinion today that the vote in the primary con- test would be small and would rep. resent but a small percentage or the total number of republicans in the ward eligible to vote.

Republican voters of the fifth ward will decide to-day who Is to guide the destinies of the g. o. p. organization of their section of the city for the coming two years. With two factions in the fifth ward fighting for supremacy. the pri- maries opened at 4 o'clock this afternoon at 6. 0. D. headquarters on Harrison avenue. They will close at 9 o'clock tonight. At that time it will be known whether the regular organization, headed by ex-Mayor William H. Sandland, Registrar of Voters Thomas F. Dill lane and Charles J. DeBisschop, will continue in power or whether the faction officered by Martin J. Wheian of Wolcott, ex-Alderman Arthur F. Blewitt and Burton Walker will be in the drivers seat.
 Tn all, 1,714 republicans in the fifth ward are eligible to cast their ballots in to-day's primaries. But predictions among various political leaders to-day were to the effect that only between 300 and 400 votes would be registered.
 The primary contest in the local republican ranks Is not citywide. The other four wards of the city have agreed on the regular or- ganizatoin ticket. But in the fifth the Blewitt- -Whelan- Walker in- surgent group has chosen to con- test for the leadership. In view of the fact that the fight Is not a party one but just question of personal dissatisfa ction on the part of the insurgents, it was believed by many to-day that the regular ticket would be victorious in the polling. However, this remains to be seen.
 The insurgent group has made no specific charges against the regu- lar organization in the fifth ward. It has merely exercised the right of any voter or group of voters to enter a contesting ticket. The usual feature of the whole battle Is, hough, that many of those listed cu the insurgent ticket are also listed on the regular ticket. Even the regular organization has gone so far as to honor Mir Blewitt, him self, with Q place on it's ticket of delegates to the city convention.

 The Connecticut Company met the storm with action on the part of emergency crews throughout the night. Sleet cutters were out celaring the tracks and overhead wires and other men were engag- ed in keping switches open. As a result trolley service was normal this morning.
 The busses of the Connecticut Company and the New York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com pany met slippery road conditions early this morning. but as the To- cal and state officials directed the sanding of hilly streets and high ways the routes were kept open and schedules were practically up to normal.
 Superintendent of Streets Thom- as J. Fleming had his forces on the job bright and early sanding crosswalks and hilly streets. The Connecticut Company also CO., operated in this latter work in or- der to make travel safe for the busses.
 The police department up until noon hour had no reports of per- sons falling ons fey sidewalks. However, while no reports were received, due to the fact that those falling did not receive serious in- juries, 1t was said that many were the falls experienced by pedes- trians in all section of the city.
 Property owners last night sanded their walks under close police sur veilance. This morning, however, they were forced to duplicate their sanding operations as the ice which fell during the night cover- ed over the first sand covering.
 With automobile traffic at minimum early this morning, the trolley cars were very crowded on all lines and so were the busses with thousands on their way to work in the factories, stores and offices.

YORK, England, September B.
Women now have one less way Of con-
cealing their age. Eyebrows and eye
lashes will give away the secret.
Eyebrows change their position with
age, Prof. v. Suk told the British
Association for the Advancement
OF Science. With advancing age, they
sink below the upper margin of the
orbital cavity, or eye socket of the skull.
Most women have one kind of eye
brows and most men another. his studies
have shown. About 70 per cent Of the
women he examined had even" eye
browS while among the men about II
per cent had the double" type.
Color of eyebrows has no connection
with the form and is hereditary.
The long and curly type Of eyelashes,
the professor found, occur naturally
only among children. Like baby's
first teeth they are only temporary and
soon are replaced by the shorter, stub
bier adult growth.
A blonde may have dark eyeslashes
and not be suspected of being syn
thetic" There is no correlation. Prof.
Suk said, between the color Of eye
lashes and the color of eyebrows and OF
hair, for many blondes have naturally
dark eyelashes.
The longest eyelashes are in the up
per lid and in front of the pupilar
opening Of the eye.
Learning ability, at least in rats, can
be increased from generation to gener-
alton by proper breeding, Prof. w NC
Dougall has concluded from experiments
he reported to the association. He has
bred 80 generation Of "pedigreed" rats.
Rats of the thirtieth generation, he
said, made only 20 errors in the process
of learning specific task, whereas
their ancestors, rats of the first gen.
Grafton, made 148 errors in learning to
do the same thing.
To test whether the improvement in
the rats learning ability was due to
selection of the right rats for breed
ing or whether it was passed on by
some mysterious process Of social
transmission" he tried emitting the
training for one or two generations,
reared young rats away from their
mothers and bred females of unframed
stock with males Of the trained family.
