Constance Bennett's MARRIAGE
To Marquis May Be Near End

By the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, October o.
The amazing Bennett clans domestic
box score today is: Marriages, 8; di-
vorces, 6.
i The personal history Of the family
Of Actor Richard Bennett is one OF
separations and divorces-and for one
daughter, babies.
That 64-year-old veteran of the
theater was divorced by his second
wife yesterday when she testified, with
other things. that he threatened to kill
her. They had been separated three
years.
The spotlight now turns to the old
est Bennett daughter, 32-year-old
Constance.
Her third husband, the Marquis de
Ia Falaise de la Coudray, has been
living in France for the last year
Frequent separations have occurred
during their married life, but this
present one is by far the longest. Is
the separation to be permanent?
Silent on Personal Affairs.
Constance Bennett -Moorhead-Plant-
de Ia Coudray, who always will be
remembered as the star who single
handedly negotiated l0-weeks' con-
tract for $4,000 q week. once made
it a rule to never discuss her personal
affairs.
The rule still is in effect. Her press
representative said today: Miss Ben
nett says she refuses to discuss her
personal affairs"
During the absence Of the marquis,
Constance's invariable escort is
swarthy Gilbert Roland. They are
seen, and photographed, at shows and
sports events.
Richards youngest, and at the mo-
ment most cinematically prominent,
daughter, 26-year-old Joan Bennett
Fox-Markey, instituted a divorce ac-
ton against Writer Gene Markey last
May.
She has two children, one by each
husband.
Hollywood believes young Miss
Bennett-pretty, glamorous and
wealthy-will remarry again some
day. But whether another romance
has entered her life since her sep
aration from Markey, even all-know-
ing movieland observers don't know.
Barbara Has Four Children.
Barbara Bennett Downey, who is
81, adds only one marriage to the
score She and Singer Morton
Downey have four children, but
they'd like to have five more because,
they say, mine would make just
nice sized family"

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, October o.
Study Of the brains electrical cur
rents to learn the cause and cure
of mental disorders was urged by DR..
Newdigate Owensby OF Atlanta, Ga,
today before the Southern Psychiatric
Association.
DR.. Owensby said recent perfection
of an electroencephalogram had made
1t possible accurately to measure elec-
trical charges passing through the
main cells and might lead to many
long-sought answers about mental
ills.
The Albanian said preliminary work
with the electroencephalogram indi-
Gated a vital connection between
blood circulation to the brain, the
amount of oxygen reaching the ceHe-
bral area and the mental and physical
condition of q patient.
Deficient circulation and the re-
sultant deficiency in oxygen supplied
by the blood is reflected in diminished
or "short-circuited" electrical cur
rents. These Irregularities. he said,
seemed to be promptly reflected in
"phobias, tremors, paralysis, hyster-
ical manifestations, psychic explo-
sions and insanities."
DR.. Owensby added that not only
may disturbances in the how OF cleo
tricity through the brain cells and
along the neural channels result in
mental disorders but also may affect
the heart, lungs, liver or other bodily
organs because of the interruption
OF electrical current which governs
the functional activity (through in
voluntary nervous impulses) of the
organ affected"
He said extensive experiments con-
Quoted by the Royal British PSYCHE
atric Association had indicated that
local (brain) deficiency of blood
due to contraction of blood vesselS'
from one cause or another was the
"causative factor in many mental
maladies."
DR.. Owens explained the electro
encephalogram makes possible de-
termination of the electrical currents
passing through the brain merely by
placing electrodes on the outside of

Cone hundred and twenty human
Research Institute here chance to
discover what makes one baby differ
ent from another.
Wives of farmers, college professors,
hwyers and statesmen in surrounding
counties cooperate in this unusual
study of child development beginning
with pregnancy.
Graphs, charts. photographs and
personal observations in 120 little
black books give detailed picture of
each child's growth in body, mind
and personality. simultaneously a
careful record is kept of child environ
ment-of all the things that happen
from birth until maturity.
Child Observed Monthly.
Physicians. psychologists and psysi-
illogical chemists observe the child
monthly under the direction of Dr..
Lester w. Sontag, head of the lnsti-
tute, which is unit of Antioch Col
lege.
DR.. Sontag explained that every
effort is made to let development pro-
ceed naturally, without the artificial
changes usually associated with a
'test tube" experiment. But this de-
velopment is constantly and minutely
observed and recorded.
He hopes that eventually the in
stitute's findings will help parents pro-
duce healthier, more normal children
and raise them to be adult citizens of
the finest type.
Says Only Surface Scratched.
Dr.. Sontag asserted that only The
surface had been scratched in the re-
search into the effects of prenatal
environment.
Every illness, no matter how slight
Is recorded. X-rays reveal interrup.
tons in bone growth. Each new tooth
Is charted.
Electrocardiogra and
fetal heart beats recorded on a deli
cate machine-posture photographs
mental tests and even footprints, all

coveries keep the methods up to date
Studies of growth and development
factors make it possible to measure the
effect of illness, poor eating habits,
ricketts, or eruption and quality of
teeth and general health.
Fetal Heart Rate.
Data also disclose any relationship
which may exist between fetal heart
rate and movement and such factors
as sound, maternal fatigue, smoking
and emotion. Already the fetal heart
rate has been shown to be Influenced
by maternal smoking and the fetus
has been found to move in response
to certain sounds.
But, according to DR.. Sontag, it will
be 10 to 20 years before the black
books are complete and the main
results of the study can be determined.
Eight years ago DR.. Sontag and a
few part-time assistants started the
work of the institute, financed by Sam
uel S. Fels, Philadelphia manufac-
turer. Now it has a staff of 18, of
whom Is are trained scientists, and
occupies a remodeled. spacious nine
