ment or thought only as a response to
sensory stimulus which has been passed
on to the motor nerves. But in the de-
velopment Of animal life and in the en-
bryonic history Of the individual, DR..
Angulo pointed out In explaining his
paper, the two develop along separate
paths for a time and the motor nerve
system precedes the individual.
In the dissection Of rats embryos at
various early stages Of development he
found the basic system Of motor nerves
and their fibers fairly well developed be-
fore the sensory system began to come
into the picture. Then followed a con-
siderable period before the two were
integrated
When the integration starts for long
time in the life of the unborn rat the
body upon any stimulus moves as a
whole. If the trunk moves the head and
limbs also must move because the SEN
sorry system Is not ready for its job of
selecting stimuli and transmitting them
only to the motor nerves Of the appro-
pirate organs.
This is about the stage philogenetically
rat embryo might be considered as
passing through q spone stage of exist
ence. The sponge really is an animal,
although in the past often supposed to
be plant It might be considered as a
very loosely integrated mob OF separate
cells, Joined together. 1t has no head
and, of course, nothing even remotely
approaching q brain. 1t has, however,
the beginnings of motor nervous sys-
tenn, developed solely to preserve the
f,>%e itx, of ft,a 3r
In itself, and for 1t there exists no other
world. It can only act as whole.
without sight. hearing, feeling or any
other sensory attribute, 1t cannot pos
sibly adjust itself to anything outside
of itself. The same is largely true Of
the coelenterates, such as the coral
polyp, which represents the next step
in animal evolution-aIthough some of
the more advanced species, such as the
dreaded Portuguese man-of-war Of the
Indian Ocean, seem to have the begin
nings of sensory system and a head
end"
Once the sponge or coelenterate stage
Of the rat embryo is passed, DR.. Angllo
explained, there slowly develops the

out specific impulses. The period of
purely internal integration is passed and
it is beginning to integrate itself with
the outside world in which 1t soon must
take its place. BY the time 1t is born
1t is able to move specifically in response
to q specific stimulus-and this ability
develops still further during its brief
infancy.
other observations described before
the session Of child research scientists
showed that the human embryo must
follow essentially the same path but
before its birth it has passed beyond the
stage where the rat stops. These studies,
DR.. Angulo pointed out, are fundamental
in the study of thought itself since they
deal with the simplest nerve reactions
out Of which the infinitely complicated
structure Of mind eventually is built up.

character Of any man who deliberately
chooses to create q work Of art out Of

Today there must be many who win

tions are bewildering for q minority of
people who. perhaps, ought not to be
completely suppressed. Yet the confu.
sion Is not universal. There still are
peaceful fields Of interest in which they
may discover occupation for their minds
and hearts-retreats from the struggle in
which they have been wounded; solitudes
In which their injuries may heal. Books
are one Of these sanctuaries; music is
another. The list Of opportunities is
long and varied enough for any rational
need. A celebrated surgeon summarized

Melancholic isolation, of course, Is to
be avoided. In the circumstances, it is
better to be active as Fox was when he
engaged his energies in sketching rather
than in hysterical or Oppressive mourn
ing for his lost possessions. A hobby,
possibly, is most constructively helpful.
Those who can botanize or geologic
probably are the most notably fortunate
they may tramp the hills, explore the
woods, retrieve the primitive Joy Of
nature, alone or in congenial company,
and thus maintain balance and prepare
for the imperative adjustment to social
environment which, certainly. must be
effected sooner or later. The value Of
Walden to Thoreau was that it equipped
him psychologically and spiritually to

Ireland's Future.

Eanon de Valera, President Of the
Executive Council Of the irish Free State,
has just promulgated his plan for polit-
teal reconstruction of the country on q
constitutional basis. 1t apparently con-
templates self-contained all-Ireland"
commonwealth, taking no cognizance Of
the partition of the Emerald Isle into
Ulster-ruled North and Dublin,d ,domi-
mated South. Likewise, the program
completely and conspicuously ignores
Great Britain. It proposes, in the Presi-
dents own words. to give the Irish people
. national charter which they them
selves would choose IF Great Britain
were q million miles away" The Free
State will proceed precisely as II there
were no question Of relations with John
Bulls other island or the overseas do
ninions which comprise the British
commonwealth Of nations.
Although Mr.. de valera's pronounce
ment, made before mass meeting Of
his supporters from every county in
ireland, did not mention republic" it
is inescapable that the regime he has
In mind envisions that form Of govern
ment. Indeed, it appears that the
United States Of America, in which the
brilliant Irishman was born, may be his
model, for the projected constitution

trate similar to the American President.
There will also be, on the Warrington

ture. with the executive responsible to 1t.
For the present Mr.. de Valera signals
no change in existing relations with the
British Empire, except that the irish
will utilize the same autonomous ma
chinery employed by Canada, Australia.
New Zealand and South Africa, as self
governing nations. These national units
are for all practical purposes utterly in
dependent within the imperial frame
work. Mr.. de Valera would sever all
semblance of control by the British
crown, including abolition Of the gov
ernor general. long since reduced to the
status Of . fgurehead.
1t is not yet entirely clear whether the
Free State will move toward oblitera-
ton Of Northern ireland rs Q separate
political entity and conversion of Erin
into national whole. But events would
seem to be trending inevitably In that
direction. Mr.. de Valera continues to
acclaim the mutual economic interests
that should make for closer cooperation
and good will with the British. But he
declares that the Irish will not sur
render" on the acrimonious issue of the
land annuities, which they repudiate,
despite retaliatory British penal tar
IFS" on Irish imports. In every respect,
Mr.. de Valera points out, his country
intends to lead "its own life in its own
way" There seems slight prospect that
Britain, faced today by far sraver Euro
pean problems. will do anything de-
signed to thwart the Free States pur-
poses.

Behavior repeats in its progress be-
fore birth the progress OF animal life
from the beginning.
At the point where the earliest activity
appears in the unborn mammal, 1t seems
to be passing through the sponge stage
of evolution, before the appearance of
the sensory nervous system. Evidence to
this effect was presented before the So
ciety for Research in Child Development
meeting at the National Research Coun.
Gil by DR.. A. W. Angulo Of the Wistar
Institute of Philadelphia.
One Of the most unanswerable argu-
ments for evolution for many years has
been the philogenetic recapitulation of
the embryo. 1t is an undisputed fact
that every animal, including man, be-
fore birth passes through in order the
embryonic stages of the principal crea-
lures lower in the evolutionary stage, so
far as physical development is concerned.
That is. a human being before birth
passes through stage which is clearly
akin to an embryonic fish and very
shortly before birth has a body covered
with hair like the embryo Of one of the
lower mammals.
This recapitulation, the research re-
suits presented today show, now can be
shown for embryonic behavior from the
earliest movements to the relatively
highly advanced reactions of the baby
at the time Of birth. DR.. Angeles find-
ings were made with unborn rats, but 1t
is certain that they apply also to human
beings which differ far less from rodents,
their fellow mammals, than the rodents
themselves differ from reptiles or am
phibians.
Actually, 1t was stressed in the papers,
the unborn mammal actually never
looks like q fish or toad nor behaves
as such, but both physically and In its
actions telescopes" these stages Of evo-
luton 30 that traces of them can be
distinguished. The outstanding factor in
evolution has been the development and
integration of the nervous system from
the unconscious defense reactions of
the sponge or the coral polyp to the
thinking mind of man. This progress is
reflected, DR.. Angelo found, both in the
embryonic behavior and the nervous sys-
tenn structure of his rats.
There are, he pointed out in explain
ing his paper, two parts to the nervous
system. One Is the sensory, by means
Of which impressions from the outside
world are conveyed to the brain, the
spinal cord or some nerve plexus. It is
only by means Of the sensory nerves that
an organism can have any awareness
that there is q world outside itself. The
other Is the motor nerve system, which
activates the muscles of the body as q
whole and its separate parts.
In all the higher animals the two
systems are so co-ordinated that for all
practical purposes they are indistinguish-
able and both enter into every observable
bit of action. That is, there is move

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES &. TRACEWELL.

Tiny green leaves are coming UP in
the grass and flower beds.
They are the grape hyacinth, one Of
the smallest Of the Spring Towering
bulbs.
They will stay green all Winter, giving
an added touch of interest to the land
scape.
Provided. Of course. one knows how to
look for them.
There are many things in the Fall
garden which must be sought II they are
to contribute to the nerriment Of the
season.
Few things throw themselves at the
observer, from now on, until the spar.
king snow does so if it does. And 1t prob
ably will, If one may Judge from the past
three Winters.
The Autumn garden contains much OF
interest for the person who deliberately
goes in search Of it.
These fine leaves of the tiny grape
hyacinth are good examples.
Usually they are planted in borders, or
in the grass at the edge Of borders.
Often they spread in the ground, II
planted in a flower bed, and tend to
come up in the grass.
1t is not until moving the lawn is
stopped that they are able to send up
their delicate green shoots.
The marvellous thing Is that they will
stay green all Winter, even in the most
severe days.
Then, along toward April, they will
produce the delicately blue flowers which
are the delight of some. Not all flower
lovers prefer such small creations Of
mighty nature. It takes q certain dis
position to like them.
Life in the garden will be more inter-
esting to the person who knows the grape
hyacinth and likes it.
There are many other things however,
which need to be kept in mind at this
season.
Among these are the iris and the
peony.
1t is we'll to cut back the iris leaves,
almost any time now. and clear away any
litter which collects on the ground
around the rhizomes.
Piling a mulch OF any sort over them
is not wise, since it merely tends to give
protection to the iris borer. That pest
can do enough damage without any aid
from the gardener.
Iris rot. too, is helped by leaves or
other material spread around.
~ ~
As for peony leaves. there is no need
to remove them until they die down COM
pletely.
Occasionally one sees or hears the ad-
vice that the foliage should be cut down
early in Fall, whether damaged by frost
or not.
Positively this is misleading advice.
The peony needs its tops as long as 1t
can have them. to grow and to keep the
roots in good shape for next Spring.
Then, too, there is no need to deprive
the garden of the beauty Of the peony
bush until one has to. Often they stay
in perfectly good shape until very late
In the season.
Few plants are more interesting In
their habits of growth. Sending up q
red shoot in early Spring. they grow rap
idly. and by Memorial day are in bloom,
surrounded by tall canes and beautiful
and luxuriant foliage.
From blooming time on they make
leafy bushes. of fine compact shape and
good color. Often they are used as
hedges, with much success.
It Is a fact that many city-reared per-
sons do not know peony bushes when
luXuriant and thick they seem to the eye,
putting them in q class with the woody
shrubs.

the fundamental element Is the reflex

specific stimulus. Out Of these refiexes,
this school maintains, total pattern of
bodily behavior is built up which before
birth again is split up into more precise
movements. The other school, to which
DR.. Angulo's work seems to give sup.
port, holds that the total bodily move-
ment comes first and out of II are
differentiated the specific movements
necessarily for the individual in coping
with the outside world.
The distinction between the motor and

George Mulligan, Jr. Named to W est Point

George Mulligan, local athlete and member of the senior class at Catholic University, will enter the United States Military Academy at West Point as the appointee of Congressman -at-large William Cit- ron, 1t was announced yesterday in Washington, D. 0.
 Mulligan, who was mentioned for All-American football honors last year, will be eligible to enter the academy in September after his graduation from Catholic Univer- sity next month. He is g years of age and the son of MT. and Mrs. George P. Mulligan of 970 Cooke street.
 StandOut
 The new appointee graduated from Crosby High school in 1892. While at Crosby he was an out- standing athlete, being co-captain of the fotball team during the 1881 season. He also played first base on the baseball team and was an out standing performer on the track squad. With the announcement of his acceptance into the military academy, 1t is expected that the several offers Mulligan received to play professional football will not be considered.
