BRAIN HELD BIGGEST
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Four Quadrillion Dynamoes Said
to Be Contained in Gray
Matter.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Ala noted
scientist sees in the human brain an
electrical power system that would have
made Samuel insults network in its
hey-day look like village utility plant.
DR.. George w. Grille of the Cleveland
clinic said in an address last night that
the brain contains 1000 900 900, 900, 900
dynamos, plus a transmission system
vastly greater than all the electric lines
now in existence.
He explained that the gray matter of
the brain contains the four quadrillion
dynamos-protoplasm units of energy
transformation, or cells. They furnish
energy for the mental processes.
The white matter of the brain. on
the other hand, is a delicate matrix
through which the electric current
passes when a man thinks. The elec-
trio charges make a vast hook-up of
lines, "conductance paths" registering
every thought, every emotion the in
dividual has experienced since birth.

Vicious Plague

To the operation of the
"spoils system" can be traced
many of the most flagrant evils
in politics today-including the
waste and the corruption that
disgrace the administration of
local government all over the
country.
Both political parties and
every administration, Federal,
State and local, are plagued by
the Spoilsmen Of the party win
ming the election. The Roose-
velt administration is no ex-
ception to this rule.
From the day Mr.. Roose-
velt was elected President, the
sroilsmen Of his party have
done their utmost to dictate
the appointments of his Ad
ministration. These spoilsmen
have not been content to dis
tate who should fill the Fed
eral offices not now protected
by Civil Service laws. Sucl is
their greed that they are now
demanding a general expan-
sion of the "spoils system" to
all parts of the Federal service.
What the Federal service
most needs today to increase
its efficiency is an xtension
of the merit system, as a sub
stituGe of the "Spoils system"
