tricks. such as escaping from cage to get
their food, or finding a way out of a maze.
Using the same care he gave to human patients,
he removed parts of the brains of these labora-

Would removal of certain areas OF their brains
cause them to forget the tricks he had taught
them?
THE answer was - yes. they promptly for

Therefore, memory and ideas were localized In

Franz's remarkable experiments and final proof
were preceded by the trial and error methods OF
earlier scientists. The story of the human brain
begins really. far back as 1900 when an
Austrian physician offered the theory that the
mental powers OF man were made up of sew
eraJ faculties, each of which occupied a differ
ent portion of the brain. He divided the brain
into departments as If 1t were huge. though
compact corporation Each part of it, he be-
decided that the shape of the skull was to be

that the same faculty was poorly developed.
This theory was proven false, but the idea
was simple and appealed to the imaginative
From it came the discredited system of divina-
ton known as phrenology. Weird charts Of the
skull supposed to show the location OF every
trait were drawn, some of which contained 62
divisions, and looked like a map of the world
Sections were set aside for love. concentration,
combativeness, destructiveness acquisitiveness

from $167 on January /, 1888, to

PASSENGER AIR
TRAVEL GAINS

Air lines operating in the United
States have recently been carry
ing the largest traffic ever re-
corded for a similar season. Fur
Their improvement likely during
the usual peak summer months,
taken with the gains already &C
compliShed. points to new record
total of non-mail revenues for
1896. according to the Standard
Statistics Company.
In the first four months of
1886, planes carried about $4,000
passengers, or some Is per cent
more than in the initial third of
1885. Passenger miles flown in
creased somewhat less sharply to
a total of 99,16O,0OO, up % per
cent over the 1885 total. This
relatively smaller gain indicates q
slight decline in the length OF the
average passenger flight. but Of
more significance is the continued
tendency of passenger-mile totals
to expand faster than mileage
operated. Thus miles flown were
some 20 per cent above the 1885
figure, amounting to 1891 900
during the first four months Of
this year.
Excess volume, 1927, 900 pounds,
was considerably more than twice
the total of IL months ago. This
type of traffic still represents only
about 3 per cent of transport rev
enues, but continuation Of the
spectacular expansion of the past
one or two years should result IN
important contributions from ex-
press over the longer term.

u. 5. NATIONAL
INCOME RISES

The national income produced
in the United States rose in May
for the third consecutive month,
according to the Alexander Ham.
ilton Institute. While it did not
regain the peak of the recovery
movement reached last October, 1t
was 15.2 per cent higher than in
May last year.
The national income in May
this year amounted to 4,847 mil
lion dollars as compared with
4,747 million dollars in April and
with 4,207 million dollars in May,
1885. For the first five months
the national income amounted to
23,305 million dollars this year as
against 2O,651 million dollars last
year. an increase of 1873 per cent.
The price level in May was
lower than in April or in May last
year. The quantity Of goods pro-
duced in May consequently showed
a greater gain than the national
income. General business was
thus more active in May than in
April or in May last year. The
quantity Of goods produced in May
was 3.6 per cent larger than in
April and 17.9 per cent larger
than in May, 1885.
The quantity of goods produced
during the first five months
showed an increase of 1875 per
cent over the volume in the same
period last year. This was some
what less than the gain in the
national income since prices aver.
aged slightly higher during the
first five months of 1886 than dur
ing the corresponding period Of
1885. While 1886 represents the
fourth year of expansion since the
low for the depression, the guam.
tity of goods produced during the
first five months was still 1871 per
cent smaller than in the like
period Of the predepression year,
1929.

CelOtex Solves Problems Hundreds Visit Civic The-
 ater Building Display

An exhibition which answers al your problems in modern building of homes and business establish ments is being presented all this week at 31 Leavenworth street, the old civic theater by the J. E. Smith Lumber Company.
 This exhibition illustrates why leading architects specify Celotex for all types of new building construc- tion. It shows how Celotex is used on both sides of the framework outside as insulating sheating-in- side as insulating lath. The display shows how big, sturdy board build permanent insulation plus greater building strength in modern archi- lecture. It explains how permanent insulation makes buildings more liyable the year 'round-warmer in winter, cooler in summer, reducing fuel and redecorating costs.
 The exhibition also illustrates how leading architects and interior decorators are designing walls and ceilings of Celotex for homes, stores churches, schools, offices, theaters and night clubs. The finishes are al! adaptable to new structures or fol undermining old ones. The designs range from simple, inexpensive treatments for finishing attic ol basement rooms to ultra -fashionablt interiors created for the homes O movie stars, metropolitan showroom! and smart Broadway night cubs.
 Home owners and business vii be interested in this exhibit" say MT. J. F. Smith. "It suggests mum ercus ways to finish all kinds of in teriors. Everyone who is interestet will have an opportunity to consul with MT. Scull of the CeloteX Com pany, an interior finish expert wh has designed and executed interior Eof this type in various parts of tn country"
