Pippin laid her books on the

self in a little catchy voice.,
"Why it's not yet three o'clock.
Of course they wouldn't be

decided to go up to the

some hard chemistry problems
to do. She worked for half an
hour. She couldn't concentrate.
She tried reading a French
book, a dull essay of Diderot.
But she could not stop the un-

FAILS TO RECOVER BOAT
IN COURT SUIT HERE
Mrs. Eduardo K. Baltuff Had
Had $4,000 Ship Seized in
Prohibition Case.

Determined efforts of Mrs. Eduardo
K. Baltuff to recover her SAC, 1000 boat,
the Zev, failed today when the District
Court of Appeals decided it had no
right to interfere in the case.
Mrs. Baltuff hitch-hiked here from
Seattle, Wash, several times in order
to bring her case before the local
courts. She told court attaches that
in making her last trip she started
from Seattle on foot with only so
cents in her pocket.
Her boat was seized by the prohibi-
ton department in 1927, but subse-
quently it was forfeited under the
tariff act.
Acting as her own attorney, Mrs.
Baltuff filed suit here to recover the
boat, but the local courts decided they
did not have jurisdiction, since the
vessel was not seized in local waters.
The Government was represented by
United States Attorney Leslie c. Gar
nett and his assistant, John w.

termed groups A, B and C, the bust
ness hours of the individual retailer
determining which group he elects to
operate under.
The Retail Code Authority here is
equipped to supply the required no.
tees upon registration with it of
every retailer covered by the code.
The notice, which the N. R. A. re-
quires shall "be posted conspicuously
and in sufficient number to make
them freely and conveniently access
sible to all employees" reads as fol-
lows:
This store is operating under
Group -. of the retail code. 1t is
open for business -. hours per week.
The maximum periods of labor for
its employees are -. hours per week
-. hours per day and six days per

New Vistas of Brain
Exploration Envisioned.
New vistas for exploration of the
mystery of brain action were envi-
stoned by DR.. Walter B. Cannon,
celebrated Harvard University physi-
ologist, at the close of the annual
Kober lecture at Georgetown last
week.
DR.. Cannon had told of the pro-
gressive steps leading te.his discovery
Of the new hormones-sympathin E
and sympathin (which together ape
the effect of stimulation of the auto
nomic nervous system in much the
same manner as does adrenin, to
which they seem to serve as an auxil-
larry. But they are not the same as
adrenin. 1t is secreted by a specific
organ, the medula of the adrenal
gland. The new hormones apparently
are secreted by whatever organ is
stimulated through the sympathetic
system. If the function of the SYM
pathetic connections is to stimulate
the actions of tissue, then that tissue
secreteS the excitatory kind of SYM
pathin, and vice versa.
But, DR.. Cannon asked, if this is
a part of the mechanism of the auto
nomic system, may there not be a
similar mechanism associated with
tina central nervous system? May
there not be hormonic secretion of
tissues resulting from its stimulation.
the discovery of which would clear
up some of the profoundest mysteries
Of human and animal behavior, such
as the strange alienation of exalta-
ton and depression which is a COM

cases, constitutes a psychotic condi-

live through as if it were that of their
own blood relations the fate OF these
people who event. billy were over

THE history of the Greeks again
must begin from Central Europe. 1t
must once more be insisted that it
deals with our nearest racial brothers.
The Nordic Greeks or conquerors
formed the aristocracy in the land.
The breaking down of class barriers
by the democracy and the unre-
strained mixing of races sealed the
fate of the Nordic race in Greece and
the decay Of Greek culture proceeded
with such terrible speed that in barely
200 years the Greek people sank into
complete insignificance.
THE history of the Nordic peoples
Of Italy again must begin in Central
Europe so that here, too, a radial
kinship can be felt. The overwhelm-'
ing majority Of the total population
of Italy consisted of the descendants
