MATHEMATICS
 AIDED DA VINCI
Inspiration Was Not Fac tor Behind His Paint-
 ings Says Expert

Pittsburg (UP} - Mathematics and not inspiration was the factor behind the paintings of Michael Angelo and Leonardo da Vinci, a graduate of Pennsylvania College for Women believes.
 Working on her master of arts degree at University of Pittsburg. Elizabeth Mics said:
 '"The worlds masters have used mathematics in their works. I have termed my proof the 'dy- mamie theory a system of compo- sitions within certain rectangular areas"
 Miss Mics said by use of this theory she could show an entire painting was built around some grouping or basic form.
 'In Michael Angelo's statue. David however, the dynamic symmetry tests were of little avail. Da vincis Last Supper also must be called dubious" she said.
 A startling effect of life was of- ten produced by throwing the whole painting slightly off balance. Miss Mes explained.
 In George Bellows works, she found a Mathematical precision of planning and execution" His work she termed strictly dy- namic."
 "Jean and Anna," Bellows painting which won first prize at the 21st International, shows de-. liberate use of this principle. she believes.

PLANTS TANNED
 IN BRIGHT SUN
Smithsonian Institution Expert Reveals Results
 of Long Research
BY ALFRED BRETHINET

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York (UP).-Plants. too, are subject to 8 tanning similar to our sunburn, when they are irradi- ated with ultraviolet rays. pr. Florence D. Meier of Smithsonian Institutions division of radiation and organisms points out that the leaf cells of different plants under- go change in color to brown, fol- lowing a latent period, after they have been irradiated with the rays.
 Miss Meier. who ,has been con- ducting experiments with the rays, which are beyond the spectrum range of visible light, has discov- cred some peculiar variations in the effects produced when the rays different by merely few ten-mil- lionths of a millimeter. The ex- periments were carried on using wave lengths of ultraviolet radi- ation ranging from S022 to 2536 angstroms; one angstrom. the unit which Is used to measure these wave lengths, is a ten-millionth of a millimeter.
 Her experiments divulged that not only do these ultraviolet rays have lethal effects upon such minute organisms as the one-celled plant called algae, but, in addition, she found that the rays differ among themselves in their toxic effects. Identical amounts of some killed more rapidly than others. and smaller amounts of others were required to cause death.
 Dr Meier has grouped the re- sponses she obtained in two cate- gories--radiotoxic spectral sensi- tivity and radiotoxic virulence. To clarify this. we may consider the relative effects of radium paint on a watch-face. cyanide of potas- siun, and rattlesnake venom upon e human being. Regarding sensi- tivity. each individual poison is capable of causing death. if ad- ministered in a sufiicient dose. Probably, in order of minimum dosage, says Miss Meier. they would rank; radium, cyanide, snake venom. In order of toxic yirulence, or, in other wards, time necessary for effect to occur, they would rank; cyanide, snake venom. ra. A&M4&&e

Physicians s Evidence
 Enough To Free Man
Judge Finds Him Not Guilty of Driving While Under
 Influence of EQuOr

Naueatuck, Sept 21--Evidence by Dr Charles Edlin of Waterbury apparently was the cause of Judge Claremont I. ToIles finding Abra- ham Lab0witz of 2s Church street, New Haven not guilty on charge of driving while under the in- fiuence of liquor. Labowitx pleaded guilty to the charge of violation of the rules of the road and was fined $5 and costs of sl3.26, the minimum penalty.
 The case of Harold Beebe. RED 8, Waterbury, accused of drivingn while under the influence Of liquor, driving an unregistered auto and trying to evade responsibility, was continued until Tuesday on rec ommendati0n of both state and de- fense counsel. Beebe was arrested Thursday of last week.
 Labowitz was arrested Sept 3, Labor day, by Supernumary Ed ward Calvin h straitsville. Officer Calvin testified Labowitz had been zig-zagging over the road and drove him off the road. He said he thought Labowitz had one drink too much.
 Dr Edl1n 8a1Q ne exam1noQ the defendant at the local police sta tion within an hour and a half after the arrest. He said his phy- sical refiexes were normal, his mental reaction was normal and except for a slight whiskey odor, there was no evidence of drinking at that time.
 Labowitz and George P. Shur- man of New Haven, with whom the defendant dined that day, said Labowitz had had two drinks, one at dinner and one fifteen minutes later, both from a one-half ounce whiskey glass. Both testi- fled Labowitz had only three hours sleep the night before and the de- fendant admitted he felt drowsy while driving and might have slept a minute or two. pr Edlin testi- fled the amount of whiskey the de- fendant admitted taking would not have made him drowsy but would have stimulated him. Prosecuting Attorney Martin Cain said he thought the whiskey gave Labowitz false confidence in his driving.
 Judge Tolles advised Labowitz to pull over on the road and get some sleep the next time he felt like that. Attorney Irving Paster- nak of Waterbury acted for the de- fendant. Attorney John H. Cassidy of Waterbury was Beebe's lawyer.
