With Schultz dead, his 21-year-
old, ex-showgirl wife was thrust
into the spotlight for the first
time. She was held overnight at
Newark police headquarters and
was being grilled today on "con-
tradictions in her story"
During his life Schultz pro-
tected her from publicity as
fiercely as he protected his lead
ership over his gang minions.
One of the hottest tips re-
ceived by police today is that
"Bo" Weinberg, Schultz renegade
lieutenant, who was rum ored
slain after mysteriously dropping
from sight September 8, Is still
very much alive.
Seen With Zwillman
Not only that, but Weinberg
was reported seen in conference
with Abe "Longey" zwillman.

ark's rackets, shortly before
Schultz and his three aides were
shot down in the Palace Chop
House here wednesday night.
This would tend to confirm
the Newark police theory that
Zwillman's mob was mixed up
with the killing.
Martin Krompier and Sam
Gold, the other victims Of the
drive to wipe out Schultz mob,
were still fighting for life in
Polytechnic Hospital, Manhattan.
Krompier, a Schultz lieuten-
ant, though told he was in criti.
cal condition, stubbornly refused
to talk" He gritted:
81 can take it. Can't you
see can take it?"
Gold, a Broadway bookmaker,
continued to insist he had no
connection with Schultz. He was
shot with Krompier in a Times
Square barber shop in New York
less than two hours after Schultz
and his men were riddled in
Newark.

Opera Not Dead.

Opera is neither dead nor dying.
Rather, it is vigorously alive and
exuberantly healthy. Evidence of its
undiminiShed vitality may be found in
the report that the individual seat sale
for the opening night of the Metropoli-
tan's 1935-1S36 season was matter Of
only few hours. Tickets were available
Monday morning, but none remained
at closing time that night.
So much for the business side. At
the opposite extreme the explanation
is obvious. Eleven new singers and the
new American ballet are scheduled to
make their debut during the i1rst week.
The significance Of their appearance Is
that Of progress. If the opera were
moribund, 1t would have no attraction
for youthful genius.

Clothes and the Woman.

Clothes and the Woman.
In DAYS of yore the clothes they wore
With elegance and grace,
Let man feel not so much a bore,
While women set the pace.
OF mans assistance, more or less,
Shed maybe feel lack,
Because she often wore q dress
That buttoned up the back.
She could not give some silks toss
And then step underneath,
And 80, without moments loss,
Look like q blossoming wreath.
She wore q smile and not a frown-
Friend husband had a knack
OF helping to adjust the gown
That buttoned up the back.
No maid could quite as clever be
As that old faithful friend
Whom ever ready she would see,
A helping hand to lend.
Though loveliness they now disclose,
Like classic bric-a-brac,
Gals needed men when they wore clothes
That buttoned up the back.

Trial by His Peers.

The House of Lords, for the first
occasion in more than third of a
century, meets today to try one Of its
members. Edward Southwen Russell.
twenty-sixth Baron De Clifford and scion
of a line of mobiles dating back to 1893,
Is being heard in answer to charge Of
manslaughter resulting from an auto
mobile accident in which Douglas George
Hopkins, a commoner, was killed. The
indictment is serious because the issue OF
dangerous driving" is involved-an is
sue about which, by the way, England is
vastly concerned.
But the trial will serve another pur-
pose than that of deciding the guilt or
innocence of Lord De Clifford. 1t will
demonstrate to living Englishmen the
meaning of the basic legal right of man
to be judged by his peers. No one. knows
when that great privilege was estab-
lished. Some authorities believe it
originated in the Saxon period Of British
history. 1t was definitely confirmed by

cerebral anemia. handicap which many
probably accentuate by unwiSe eating
at times when mental work Is to be
done"
I'VE cannot refrain he continues,
from calling attention to some of the
profound implications of this data on
body inversion. In the assumption OF an
upright position through centuries of
evolution mankind has undergone many
structural and functional changes in
consequence of being erect rather than
on all fours Man has gained advantages
and suffered losses from that position.
The data demonstrates that one loss has
been a slowing and inaccuracy in mental
functions. If mankind went around on
all fours the blood supply of the brain
would be better for the characteristic
upright position forces blood to accumu-
late in the splanchnic pool and produced
what might be called a continuous par
tial anemia of the brain.
1.-The superior size and structure of the
human brain may be an evolutionary
compensation for this slowing and in
accuracy the upright position brought
in its wake. Sleep itself may be more
important for men than for the higher
bCCduoC OLiC OAAHOAAOoA ROoAbAOAA
taken in sleep permits an increased
blood flow through the brain.
Thus it is interesting to conjecture
whether the further evolution of human
beings will be first back into a stopped
position and then later into the condition
of a Quadruped walking on all fOurS, or
whether through a survival of the fltteSt
we will become a race which eats lightly
but frequently, or whether the survival
will come to the narrow wasted with a
small splanchnic reservoir for Shunting
blood away from their brains. At all
events the erect position and heavy meals
alike impair the working of mans brain,
and probably for the same reason
cerebral anemia of moderate degree"
OF course, unless man had started
somehow to walk on two feet instead
of four, man wouldn't have had any
brain to boast about anyway.
1t was the freeing Of the hands Tor
skilled tasks that made it possible for
the brain to develop so far beyond the
level of most quadrupeds. But this erect
position, after countless generations OF
uuadruped life, required various bodily
adjustments which the race has not yet
had time to make.
The change was attended with great
gain. but also with some losses. Prof.
Laird seems to have hit upon one OF
the least suspected of these.

the Magma Charta and has been preserved
in the codes of all modern English.
speaking nations. Yet its significance Is
not always comprehended.
For example, Lord De Clifford might
choose to be tried elsewhere If man
slaughter were not q felony. But he
would be q traitor to his order in the
event of any failure on his part to insist
that he be heard by his equals In the
present instance. 1t Is expected Of him
that he will protect the class to which
he belongs by refusing to submit himself
to any other jury. Indeed, Godfrey Ellis
of the Inner Temple, Joint editor OF
English Reports, says: Several times
the heirs of those wrongly condemned
recovered their rights and heritage on
the ground that there had been no
proper trial by peers"
Legal practice and procedure, then,
recognize class distinction. The rule,
perhaps, may be disagreeable to those
who prefer undiluted democracy on the
theory that all men are born equal. But
even those critics might indorse 1t II
they could vision themselves ON trial be-
fore the very lords to whose prerogatives
they object. Commoners, 1t seems would
rather submit to commoners.
The problem merits consideration.
With advancing civilization and the in
evitable development of better systems Of
justice, it is indicated that the day may
come when class will have q psyche
logical 0onnotatlon and when man au.
tomatically will be guarded against the
dangers Of being tried by his intellectual
interiors. The contrary theory is in
equitable, and in America, II not in Eng
lang, it cries for correction. 1t should
be mentioned. however. that the fault Is
that OF educated citizens who shirk jury
duty and thus leave members Of their
order OF society to the mercy Of their
uneducated contemporaries.

A human race walking on four feet
some day may inhabit the earth.
This is one of the three possibilities
suggested by Prof. Donald A. Laird of
Colgate University for mankind of the
future when the problems of life have
become more complicated and better
brains are needed to cope with them.
A human brain in the body of a
quadruped would be an almost un-
beatable combination. Perhaps the Su-
perior size of the cerebrum Of homo
Sapiens today came TO him as COM
pensation for walking on two legs.
Prof. Lairds deductions arose from a
simple experiment in Office efficiency.
1t long has been noted that work lags
after q heavy noon meal. Tests showed
that the customary drowSineSs and gen.
eral let-down Of energy did not follow a
light lunch. The reason, it was con-
cluded was that the process of di-
gesting q heavy meal required the shift
ing of blood to the digestive organs and
away from the brain, with the result
that there was q sort of cerebral anemia.
Following up this clue, tests were made
in which the blood flow to the brain
was modified in another way. For two
of successive and cumulative additions
under two conditionS-lying on mat
tress so that the head was foot higher
than the feet, and lying on the same
mattress with the head foot lower than
the feet. In the head-down position
blood was drained, by gravity, from the
intestinal regions to the brain regions.
This was evidenced by redder faces, par
ticularly ears.
The subjects were given a number
with which to start their additions,
then told the figure to add to this, then
the increment to add to the total, and
so on for 100 additions. Each test was
made individually, and all subjects were
tested simultaneously, but in separate,
sound proof rooms. Each afternoon each
subject made 100 successive additions in
the head-up position, and 100, with
different starting number and different
increment, in the head-down position.
On half the days they started in the
head-down position and on the alternate
days in the head-up position. Each test
was equally dif11cult.
In the case of the head down position,
where gravity increased the blood supply
to the brain regions and presumably
produced Sl1ght cerebral anemla, the
subjects were put in the required posture
for three minutes before the numbers
for adding were given to them. This
was done to insure that the blood supply
of the head had increased and prob
ably reached stability.
The results, as reported by Prof. Laird,
were remarkable. The speed OF adding
was increased IA per cent with the head
down and accuracy was improved more
than IA per cent The brains functioned
much better with the head lower than
the feet.
This demonstrates, says Prof. Laird,
"the importance Of the amount OF blood
courSing through the brain at any mo-
ment for the speed and accuracy OF
mental operation at the same moment,
confirming under rather drastic condl-
tions the improvement in mental per-
formance previously reported when q
light meal had been eaten in contrast
to q heavy meal. The erect position OF
human beings apparently gives them o
moderate but perpetual handicap of

Contacts are good.
The necessity for them is very well
known to business men.
They go out Of their way to keep their
contacts.
Men in Office need another sort Of con-
tact-one which freshenS their daily
work
Often they find this In the society of
some one in the establishment who may
not be in their "line" of work at all, but
who, through seeing the particular line"
from purely spectator viewpoint, is able
to offer quite fresh suggestions and opin-
ions.
Such q contact is good for any one.
Through it many a good idea has come
to light, without fanfare or praise OF any
sort.
Often an idea unrelated to the subject,
by the magic of what it does to another's S
thinking is transmitted into something
wholly different
Ideas are wonderful things and many q
man f1nds them by seeking out another
human being who possesses for him the
power Of putting familiar things in a new
light.
1t will be found, in most cases, that
this person need not be-seldom iS-of
exceptional mental caliber What is good
about him is his fresh slant on life. He
possesses the power Of seeing things diff
ferently. He may be wrong-often is
but that makes no difference. Even in
his errors he is refreshing. Thus many
a human being has, often unknown to
himself, been largely helped by such a
person without once realizing to whom
he owes q debt
Keeping alive ones flow of language
is another increment of the good circula-
ton discussed here.
There is nothing like casual contacts,
with different viewpoints, to increase
ones own use of words and their appre-
citation.
Often the unexpected in word usage IS
Just what the individual needs to keep
his vocabulary alive and sparkling.
This unexpectedness need not be clev-
ernesS, in any sense. The clever in mod
ern life is often the misusage of words
in some unexpected way. This is very
near to the pun, which is very old. 1t
is not the sort Of unexpectedneSs we
have in mind This Is something spring.
ing solely out Of the character of the
person speaking. He has a viewpoint
which enables him to see different sides
OF a matter in a way which never oc-
CURED at all to the other. In this way
the other is helped, often in ways in
which he knows not, but which operate
Just as effectively as If he did.
This good circulation" of a human
being, who otherwise might remain too
much clamped down in chairs, is very
helpful to all.
All come to look for him. expect him
and to miss him if he does not show up.
Thus he helps others, in a world where
help is necessary.
This type of person. without becoming
egotistic about it, may feel that he does
his bit" when he calls upon others.
He in his turn brings quite fresh view
points, even if his actual outlook is very
rigid.
He does his part to keep the language
flexible and in motion If occasionally he
seems to talk too freely, it is only what
may be expected in a world where much
talk is natural order of things.

and drama are but two OF the number.
Dancing is represented in the phase con-

by mention of the fact that all the ira

Credit also should be conceded to that
department OF literature which on Occa-
sion is unjustly regarded as mere pub
licity." The press of the Nation has sup
ported the efforts of talented expositors
who have democratized opera by their

Austria Speaks Up.

Adolf Hitler's arrogant plans for domi-
nation of the Germanic nations through
O greater NaZi Reich have encountered
q sudden and dramatic setback. From
his own native Austria comes q warning
that it is that despised and decrepit
remnant Of the defunct HapSburg
monarchy which demands leadership Of
the German peoples in whose name the
Fuehrer has assumed q dictatorial and
exclusive right to speak.
Prince Ernst Ruedige Won Starhemberg,
all-powerful vice chancellor at Vienna,
is the bold spirit who has ventured to
challenge Hitler's claims. In startling
speech to the patriotic "Fatherland
Front" last night the Prince declared
that Austrian beliefs" must prevail In
the future control of Central Europe.
He did not specify what these are, but
left no doubt that he intends that Vienna,
and not Berlin, shall prevail in any coun-
ellis concerning the fate Of the Germanic
peoples, whose eventual union under
Nazi rule is one of the fundamental
tenets of Hitlerism.
OF more immediate moment is Prince
Starhembergs affirmation that the way
is now open for restoration of the Haps-
burg dynasty and return Of Archduke
Otto as king or emperor, provided he
accepts the national program Of the late
Chancellor DollfuSs. Dollfuss was
victim of his determined policy looking
to q strong and sovereign Austria utterly
devoid Of any suggestion Of anschluss
(union) with Germany. Following the
little chancellor'S assassination last year
there were incessant German efforts TO
bring about q reconciliation with Austria,
but they have come to naught. A re-
constituted HapSburg house. 1t Is now
indicated, would represent q firm bull
Wark against Nazi pretensions to extend
Berlins sway to the southeast. Ottos
ascent to his ancestral throne, many
authorities think, would be marked by
early efforts to league Austria and Hum
gary into a new Central European power,
based mainly on n military alliance be-
tween the former partners in the dual
monarchy. Such q development would
raise up another barrier to Hitlerite pam
Germanic hegemony ambitions.
Much water will flow beneath the
bridges of Berlin and Vienna before
starhembergS dream Of o German
Europe ruled from the Danube comes
true. In territory, population and wealth,
Austria is fragmentary compared to the
might of the Nazi Reich. Protected by
friends and neighbors who, out OF either
altruistic or selfish motives, would resent
the expansion of Germany, Austria is
probably immune from attempts to force
union upon her, but in showdown for
leadership Of the Germanic minoritieS
scattered through Europe-those bleed
ing frontiers" which Hitler is so fond Of
acclaiming as future appendageS OF the
Third Reich-predominant Nazi power
could overwhelm any strength Austria
could oppose to 1t.
But the Hitlerites are now on stern
notice that in q regalvanised Hapsburg
state they viii face q people rs race
conscious as the "Ayrans" bossed by the
Nasi autocrats and q people not minded
to play second fiddle in the Germanic
orchestra. The Fuehrer's response to
this defiance from his original homeland
will be interesting and may become
important.
