Incidentally, the popular idea
that the Spanish army Is anything

quite false. There is a great
dearth Of higher officers. This may
be because so many were killed at
the outbreak of the revolution, but
at any rate, the fact is that you
seldom see an officer above a
captain.
On this whole front, the highest

said that several persons victimized by the "Bathtub Burglar" collected for their losses from insurance com- panies, and that the latter may claim ownership of most of the jewelry.
 During the summer of 1881 many homes in the Columbia boulevard section of the city were broken into and jewelry and other valuables stolen. The thief earned the Bath tub Burglar" title through his habit of stopping in mary of the homes he had broken into to wash, shave or even change his clothes. On several occasions there was evidence that he had paused long enough to take a bath.
 In August, 1881, police discovered a hiding place in the woods off Wa terville street, but were unable to locate the suspect. Klobedanz was arrested shortly afterward in Me- braska and sentenced to state pris- on. Waterbury police waited from that time until last week for his release. At the end of his sentence he was taken into custody by De- tective Bendler, armed with extra dition papers, and brought back to Waterbury.

U. s. CIRCUIT COURT
 TAKES UP APPEAL

Boston, Oct. 8.-(UP)-The U. s. circuit court of appeals today had under advisement the appeals of President Pedro Albizu Campos of the nationalist party in Puerto Rico and eight associates that they be admitted to bail pending final disposition of their sedition case.
 The courts decision is not an- ticipated for several weeks.
 The case is an outgrowth of an alleged plot to overthrow the United States government in Puerto Rico and establish the islands 1n- dependence.
 Both sides were heard by the circuit court here yesterday. Puerto Rico being in this jurisdiction.

 Fixing stretched cramped legs on Bayan LepaS airport before taking off 30 minutes later. Almost re- versing its direction, the plane roared out over Malacca Strait at Medan, capital of Deli in Sumatra and birthplace of the Malay race.
 The 161-mile water jump was made in one hour, five minutes, and because of the terrific speed which carried it far ahead of schedule, the plane stopped for an entire hour for lunch. At 1855 p. m. (2:25 a. m. EST) it took off for Singapore, recrossing Malacca strait to the set- clement capital 390 miles away m two hours, 10 minutes.
 Striking out into the deserted streets of Baghdad with the sun gliding up over the minarets, Miss Kilgallen and Kieran were much refreshed after six hours sleep and breakfast on verandah overlook ing the Tigris river. The airlin- CTS motors were humming and a moment later they took off for Basra 279 miles southward across Iraq.
 Tomorrow night their plane is to reach Jodhpur, Saturday night Cal- cutta and on Sunday Rangoon. From Bangkok on Monday Miss Kilgallen expected to veer north- ward across French Indo-C China and thence to Hongkong where she must catch the s. s. president Pierce sialing Wednesday for Ma nilo. Kieran planned Q similar route.
 Only fast airliner will enable either to catch the steamship in time, and it was learned that no Imperial Afrlines plane is sched. uled to make the flight to Hong kong until late next week, long after the Pan-American Airways China Clipper takes off across the Pacific for San Francisco.
 It was believed that both Miss Kilgallen and Kieran would char ter planes, but Ekins hoped to fly from Batavia direct to Manila on the final survey flight of 8 regular commercial airline. He was faced with the prospect of marking time for six days in the Philippines ca- pital before the Clipper, which took of yesterday from San Francisco arrived on its maiden voyage.

 Roosevelt said the contract did not provide that he represent Fok- ker in dealing with foreign govern ments or with the United States government.

TREASURE HUNT

Providence, R. T., Oct. 8(UP)- Deep-sea treasure hunting proved romantic but unprofitable for the crew of the trawler Nellie L. Par menter which was back here today after searching off the Delaware capes for the sunken British sloop- of-war Braak, supposedly laden with $4,000,000 in gold and species.
 Charles N. Colstad, engineer in charge of the expedition, said the crew intends to return to Delaware next spring and has high hopes of success.
 He said the men had gained 8 good idea of the position of the sloop, which sank in 1798. The ex- petition made Lewes, Del, their base of operations.

ironically, in the "Locarno" room of the foreign office, christened be- cause it was there that the Locarno treaty, designed to inaugurate an era of friendship and peace, was signed.
 Russia's charges, and its threat to denounce the non-intervent1on agreement, will come before this meeting. It was expected that Great Britain, trying to gain time, would seek to open the debate, using as subject the Spanish governments recent charges of fascist aid to the rebels.
 Talk Situation
 This would start the committee talking over the situation generally and diminish the effect of the Rus sian threat. But Russia seemed de- termined to seek prompt action-to stop aid to the rebels or to give aid directly to the loyalists.
 Nations all over Europe would be drawn into the serious quarrel that would follow. Germany and Italy would be brought indirectly. It was considered doubtful here whether Premier Leon Blum of France could continue French neutrality then. The result would be that the na- tions would have to line up on one side or the other and it would take all the skill and coolness of states men to prevent an explosion.

 Striking the earth by the billions each minute, they are the messengers, scientists believe, by which the great power plant of the sun trans mits its energy.
 "These particles" Dr. Caldwell said, penetrate everything. Occas- ionally they collide with an atom of matter, and that atom is shattered.
 They pass through each human body at 8 rate of perhaps 100 min- uate, exploding atoms whenever they strike one."
 Dr. Caldwell explained that the probable effect of Cosmic rays on human and animal forms was pro- duced when they struck embryonic buds in the unborn young.
 "At Columbia University you'll see Salamanders swimming about with three or four extra arms on each side," he said. ''The extra limbs were induced by touching the arm buds with 8 delicate tool.
 Science has discovered that m1- mute injury to the buds often results in the growth of extra forms.
 Investigators believe that extra toes or fingers in human beings - perhaps the Dionne quintuplets - are the result of the CoSmic ray bombardment."
 The sun, source of all our energy, Dr. Caldwell pointed out is a vari- able, pulsating star, the result being that the flow of energy changes periodically in intensity.
 A spectacular manifestation of this variability is the sun spots, which apparently exerts profound influence on human affairs.
 Sun spots, Dr.. Caldwell said, vary in numbers from maximum to min imum over a period of about Il years. This cycle, Dr. Caldwell disclosed, closely parallels cycles of depression. prosperity, fertility in animals and WeaLneTs
 "The curve of stock market prices" he said, followed the sun spot curve.
 "In 1929 the number of sun spots attained the maximum for the period and then fell sharply to the mini. mum. You know what happened to the market that same year" :,
 The business curve also followed the sun spot cycle. The depressions of 1907, 192l-22, and 1929, came after maximum sun spots periods.
 "The sun spot curve indicates that we'll have two or three years or prosperity following mnimlm period, but look out for lSSs," Dr. Caldwell said.
