URGES
CROSSING WORK

KENs1NGTON, Md, May II.
Members of the Arnold Wilburn
Post No. 30, American Legion,
last night adopted a resolution
urging early elimination of the
railroad grade crossing here,
scene of several fatal accidents,
and the construction of a Ken
sington Junior High School.
A committee appointed to in
vestigate the crossing elimination
asserted that, as the right of way
for an overhead bridge has been
purchased and funds have been
appropriated by the State legis-
lature to carry out this work,
they see no reason for further
delay.
A committee, composed of K.
w. Simpson and w. E. Parker,
will attend a joint meeting of
the board of county commits
sioners and board of education
next week and urge the school
building for Kensington.

Princess Barbara Hutton has

ried q count. You've got to hand
it to a champion who can re-

Regardless f what you may
think about children Of the rich
knowing very little about
finance, "Babs" has certainly
proved that she's an expert on

OF course, we don't know
where she finds those nOblemen

sounds like she might have won

So REMEMBER:

MOVIES Of
THOUGHTS
Novel Robot Pictures Workings
of Brain by Flashing
Them on Screen

Before several hundred dele
gates to the convention of the
American Psychiatric Association
at the Mayflower Hotel, Miss
Mary Sourwine, attractive mem.
Der of the Takoma Park (Md0
Mental Hygiene Association, to-
day submitted gracefully to the
probings of a machine which
measured the electrical discharges
of her brain in it's various stages.
The robot not only registered
what psychiatrists insisted were
her thoughts, but threw them on
a screen for the edification of the
public.
When relaxed, Miss Sourwine's
brain currents flashed rapidly
across the screen like miniature
green lightning flashes. A. C.
Birch, electrical engineer in
charge of the electrical apparatus
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, then
asked Miss Sourwine to concen-
trate on her SWeetheart-at least
that's what observers thought he
asked her.
Relaxation Lost
Immediately the jagged green
band narrowed to a faint hori-
zQptal stripe. There the patients
usefulness expired, for the tell
tale electrical device showed that
the state of relaxation could not
be resumed.
Mind reading thus became a
scientific reality through the
experimentation and inventive
genius of Prof. Hans Berger, of
Jena, Germany, and Prof. Adrian,
of London. DR.. r. H. Lengen-
StraSs, under whose direction
further work along these lines is
being conducted at st. Elizabeth's
Hospital, directed the demon
Stration.
Today's eerie movie actually
made mental activities visible.
The machine was built in Wash
ington through the cooperation
of st. Elizabeth's and the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards
radio division. It is called a
cathode ray oscillograph" and is
used in "electro-encphalography"
which, translated into ordinary
language, means "the measure
of brain action electrical cur
rents"
Brain Like Battery
AS explained by DR.. Landen.
strass, the human brain is some
what analogous to an electric
storage battery, although "by no
means" is its essential activity
electrical. Rather, he states, elec-
trical discharges from the brain
are a by-product of the organ.
BY applying electrodes to the
forehead and the back of the
head of the patient, the electric
current of the brain is trans
mitted to the machine which
then amplifies the current from
10000 to 100000 times, throwing
a beam Of electrons across the
small, circular, fluorescent screen.
DR.. LandenstraSs said:
"When the individual is re-
Taxed mentally and physically,
these waves reach their maxi
mum intensity, showing a def
mite pattern on the screen.
When the individual thinks, is
emOtionalIy disturbed or even
flutter the eyelids, the wave
motion becomes very slight or
disappears altogether"
It is the hope of DR.. Landen-
strass and his confreres that the
machine eventually will be of aid
in the diagnosis Of mental dis
orders and psychopathic diseases.

board. To meet this threat, millers
believe that price for local wheat
will have to be reduced from Is to
20 cents per bushel. A further blow
to the Eastern wheat market is seen
in the possibility of a partial shut
down of southern mills as result
of increased milling operations on the
Pacific Coast.
To avert such catastrophe, the
American Farm Bureau is urging
Secretary Wallace to re-establish the
North Pacific Export Association
which, in 1888, disposed of more
than 2S-million bushels of wheat to
the Orient. The subsidy to cover the
price differential at that time was
% cents per bushel. With present
wheat prices in Japan, for example,
only five or six cents cents below
American export quotations, it would
be possible, Farm Bureau officials
believe, to dispose of the entire pres
emit surplus at no greater cost than
it took to dispose. of the 28-million
bushels of the 1893 crop.

Special Deputies To Go,
Commissioner Rudy Says

Because Of the new statute setting
UP the State Police Department, Wal
ter R. Rudy, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, no longer has the power to
appoint special deputy commissioners.
The State Police Department sta
tute does not contain statement to
this effect, but Herbert r. O'Conor,
Acknowledgement, has ruled that It
implies the same thing.
He has informed Mr.. Rudy and
Major J. Purdon Wright, head of the
State Police Department, that here
after, in his opinion, there can be no
such official as special deputy COM
missioner Of motor vehicles.
In his opinion Mr.. O'Conor said that
it seemed to him, and to Charles T.
Leviness Bird, Assistant Attorney
General, who concurred with the opin-
ion that the retention by the commits
sioner Of unpaid special deputies 'is
wholly inconsistent with the purpose
and intent" Of the statute creating the
State Police Department.
He pointed out that "the Legisla-
ture, in setting up the new department.
did not provide for unpaid special
deputies in the State Police"

Bond Issue Sold
To Chicago Firm
At Low Interest
Commissioners Pleased With
Contamination Of Deal; Aids
Credit Standing

Montgomery County Commissioners
were elated yesterday with corsum.
nation of private sale of the $531,-
900 refunding bond issue authorized
by the last session of the General
Assembly at an exceptionally low
rate of interest. The bonds were sold
at par.
The entire issue was purchased by
John Nuveen & Co., of Chicago at a
rate of interest of 3A per cent, prob
ably the lowest ever paid by the coun-
ty. The purchasing company is to bear
all expense Of preparing and printing
the bonds.
The bonds are to refund maturities
coming due this year. They will ma
ture $4,000 each year from July 1,
1889, to 1862, and Sal, 900 in 1853.
Sale Of the bonds at this special in
terest rate was effected after negotia-
tions carried on by Ira C. Whitacre,
clerk to the commissioners, along lines
laid down by Edward Peter, counsel to
the board, at meeting of the COM
missioners more than a week ago. At
that meeting it was decided to do
everything possible to take advantage
of the exceptionally favorable bond
market and secure as much in the way
of concessions as possible from repu-
table bond company.
Sale Of the bonds in this manner
will save the county taxpayers thous-
ands Of dollars in interest and, at the
same time, insure that the county will
pay its bonds as they mature, thus
protecting the county's excellent
credit standing.

Wheat Prices Here May Slump As
Big Surplus Looms In Northwest
Farm Bureau Officials Urge Secretary Wallace To Re
establish Export Association To Dispose Of Grain
In Orient-Eastern Markets Bear Brunt
Of reproduction

There is distinct possibility that
local farmers may get first hant
knowledge of the wisdom Of keepine
down wheat production this, summer
If the huge surplus of Pacific Coast
wheat affects the market here in
Maryland and the East as it now
seems likely. A drastic slump in
wheat prices has been predicted by
C. E. Wise, Jr., secretary of the
Maryland Farm Bureau.
Mr.. Wise points out that a huge
surplus of Northwest wheat has &C
cumulated since the demise of the
North Pacific Export Association, an
adjunct of the AAA.
That this possibility is no idle
threat is shown by figures ,disclos.
ing to what extent wheat flour from
the Pacific Northwest is finding its
way to the Eastern and Southern
markets. In 1884, shipments of wheat
flour from ports on the Columbia
River and Puget Sound, to ports on
the Gulf and the Atlantic seaboard,
totalled over 100000 barrels, and
the present rate in 1885 indicate that
shipments may reach a total equiv
alent to twice the entire Maryland
wheat crop. In fact, the COMPETE
ton which these shipments is bring
ing to bear on wheat production in
Maryland and Ohio, whose wheat
normally moves to southern mills, is
alresdy being felt. At a recent
messiAg in Richmond, Va, the flour
millers in attendance openly declared
they were no longer able to compete
with the Pacific Coast flour now
being shipped by water and dumped
in southern ports at prices ranging
from 20 CENTS to a dollar per barrel
below flour miIled from wheat
grown in this area.
Crop prospects in the Pacific
Northwest already point to sur
plus of 30-million bushels in excess
of local demand which, in the alb
sence of export markets, seems des-
tined to turn up on the Eastern sea-
