MENTAL CURES SEEN
IN DOG EXPERIME ENTS
Russian Expert Believes Canine
Remedies Also Have Effect
on Human Beings.

BY the Associated Press.
LENINGRAD, U. S. S. r., August
1O.-Ivan Pavloff, noted Russian brain
expert, said today his cures of men
tally i'll dogs led him to believe the
methods have a curative effect for
human beings.
He described years of experiments
on dogs in paper issued in connec-
ton with the Fifteenth International
Physiological Congress, Of which he
is president.
Pavloff said he had succeeded in
setting up in dogs the same condi-
tions as those of mental arrangement
in man, and that in many cases, espe-
cially by use of bromide, he cured ex-
perimental neuroses which had lasted
for months, even years.
This research led him to the con-
clusion, he explained, that dogs can
be divided into four character clas-
sifications, strikingly similar to clas-
sifications of human characters made
1000 years ago by Hippocrates, as
follows: Choleric. phlegmatic, san
guine and melancholic.

.POMPEY HOLLOW
 FIGHT RENEWED

Pompey Hollow, N. Y., May 8. SUP)-James N. Armstrong, sole trustee of the famed one-room Pompey Hollow school who was voted out of office last night by five ballots. announced to-day he would contest the election of the basis of three challengedw votes.
 Ward Van De Bogart, who de- feated Armstrong, planned to re- hire Miss Esther De Lee, pretty 21- year-old brunette whom Armstrong dismissed for alleged dissertation of the American flag.
 Van De Bogart is the father of seven children, one of whose lips were taped by Miss De Lee as a disciplinary measure.
 The dismissal of Miss De Lee att appealed for reinstatement, which resulted in state education de- partment hearing. The testimony was made up largely of such things as the noises which chickens and cats made in the school room and how an American flag alleEedly was tossed into the coal bin by Armstrong.
 Van De Bogart led the attack on Armstrong and the fight for Miss De Lee. He receiyed IS votes in the balioting. Armstrong eight and two were blank. Armstrong hopes to cause Q tie by eliminating three of the votes Van De Bogart receiv- ed and getting credit for the two blanks.
