to life today despite the seemingly
fatal complications Of cancer and

she could not live until morning, but
an amazing vitality since then has
restored consciousness to her and she
has been able to take liberal amount
of liquid nourishment.
Occasionally she speaks to attend
ants, doctors said, and she has been
able to obtain a considerable amount
of needed rest.
She slept with comfort on Friday
and Saturday nights and dozed most
Of Sunday. Her pulse has kept q
steady, almost normal beat since
Thursday night, when her heart ac-
tion suddenly became normal after
life had all but died out, and her
temperature has ranged about two
degrees above normal.

porters.
'I think Hitler is a very dangerous
man and should be destroyed" said
the lawyer, with a benign smile.
Prejudice Is Denied.
At the opening session, Arthur Gar
field Hays, designated by Darrow as
spokesman for the commission, asked
that the members of the committee be
not considered prejudiced. I'VE have, -
he said, mo preconceived ideas save
those of right and wrong. We are to
judge on the basis of the facts sub
mitted."
The commission is hearing testi-
mony of eye-witnesses concerning
"acts of Hitler, the status of woman

LIQUOR TAX CUT
is FAVORED BY
M'NUTT FORCES
Fry Urges Legislature to
Order $1-a-GaIIon
Levy.

Legislation providing for a maxi
mum tax Of 81 gallon on hard
liquors will be presented to the 1885
Legislature with Administration ap-
proval, Paul Fry, State Excise Di-
rector, has announced.
Fry also said the Administration
is definitely aligned against legisla-
ton establishing state liquor stores.
After careful investigation of
liquor laws and the results of re-
peal in other states and Canada, the
Excise Department is convinced that
we can drive out bootleggers, not by
establishing state liquor stores, but
by reducing the tax" Mr.. Fry said.
Mr.. Fry indicated that carton
taxes under consideration are IS
cents on pints and rs cents on
quarts.
In explaining the Administra-
tons objection to state liquor stores
he said, I'VE do not want the state
to go into private business.
Business is for individuals and
we want to see individuals reap the
profits. 1t is our plan to make the
dealers license fees and bonds high
enough to keep the liquor business
on a high plane, but at the same
time distribute the profits to as
many persons as possible"
Fry said the actual work Of draft
ing the Administrations new bill
will not be started until the legisla-

tive committees are appointed and
hearings can be held.
He indicated that the liquor law
would be one of the last pieces of
legislation to go before the Legisla-
ture.
There is no question but that
many changes are needed in our
present setup and we expect to hear
from all interests before a bill is
drafted for presentation to the
Legislature" the Excise Director
said. He did not indicate whether
the beer, wholesaler and importer
system would be continued.
Few changes will be made in the
beer and wine setup. The importer
and wholesaler plans have worked
to the advantage of all concerned
The only other major change in
the hard liquor law is expected to
be legalization Of the by-the-drink
sales. Only restaurants of the bet
ter class, hotels and night clubs are
to be licensed for by-the-drink sales,
it has been indicated.

new MODE OF
THOUGHT URGED
ON SCIENTISTS
Theory Advanced at Farley
Junks Laws Respected
for Centuries.
BY WATSON DAVIS
Director Science Service

PITTSBURGH, Dec. pa de-
mand for a new mode of thinking
that junks our most fundamental
laws of thought just as Prof. Albert
Einstein with relatively disarranged
the old-fashiOned laws of time and
motion. was made to the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science here this morning.
Preceding the heralded lecture by
Prof. Einstein late this afternoon,
this non-AristOtehan method OF
thought traces its origin in part
back to EinStein'S relatively.
As expounded by Prof. Oliver l..
Reiser. University Of Pittsburgh phi
Iosopher, the new thinking blasts
the idea that "a thing is what is
or that it is identical with itself in
all respects. For example, you are
not the same you that existed a sec
ond ago or a year ago. An apple
or a plant or human being is con-
stantly changing with time and it
Is therefore different second by sec
ond.
Idea Is Upsetting
Since the attacked law Of identity
is the most fundamental Of the three
traditional laws Of thought in the
heretofore haIlowed logic Of Aris-
totle, this new idea is upsetting.
The new mode of thinking may
be more far reaching than ever
Einstein's relatively.
It may, Prof. Reiser suggest
ed, answer the demand for practical
establishments in the social order
and it may create a revolution in
the very theory Of science. 1t may
cure the insane who suffer from de-
lusionS. 1t may in time affect our
every day thinking. 1t may be the
mode Of thought of the man in the
street.

said, will free human thinking
from its limitations and remove the

luton of the race is already upon
the scene and we will undoubtedly
hear much Of it in the years to
come.

More than 350,000 persons
went back to work last month,
these records show, leaving the
total estimated unemployment
11,374,000 on March 1. Mr..
Green said, however, that indus
trial employment was not in

up the CWA lay-offs, of whom
there were 100000 in February.
The gain reported was almost
entirely in the manufacturing
industries, where, in fact, 100000
went back to work, but declines
in other industries overcame the
10000 surplus over the total re.
employment and other small
gains, such as 10000 in the
wholesale trades. The biggest
drop was $4,000 laid off in the
building trades.

Civil Service Commission
REORGANIZATION Near

about a year ago, when the new
commission first took office, and
as a result of that investigation
the offices of secretary and chief
examiner were combined, with the
incumbents transferred to other
jobs.
Funds Run Short
A further result of the former
investigation was institution of a
program to build up eligibility
lists for the commission, on the
ground that better men are now
available at salaries the Govern.
ment can afford to pay than un'
der normal conditions. In pur-
Suance of this policy number of
examinations were given, but the
funds of the commission are now
at such a low ebb that examina
tons have been discontinued for
the present.
Inasmuch as DR.. Leonard P.
White, the new member of the
commission, sworn in yesterday,
has had considerable practical ex,
perience in civil service work as
a member of the Chicago Civil
Service Commission, it is expected
that he will take an active inter.

work. A Republican, and the sue
cessor of the late George R. Wales,

No steps toward beginning con-

high school in Alexandria were
taken by City Council last night
because an opinion had not been

or council has the right to con-

which was purchased three weeks
ago as a colored school. It will
be remodeled and opened in the
fall as the Lyles-Crouch School.
