.DENHARDT DEATH
NOT REVENGE
CARR REVEALS
KentuCkian Sticks to
Defense Story

SHELBYVILLE, KY, Oct. 81
Q.N.S0.-A vital link in the testi-
mony by which the Carr brothers
hope to go free after their trial
for the murder of Brig. Gen. Henry
H. Denhardt was forged today
when Jack Carr denied it was a
vengeance killing.
The question which has been on
the lips of townspeople ever since
Denhardt was slain on the eve of
the generals second trial for the
murder of the Cars beautiful sis
ter, Verna Carr Taylor, was asked
during cross examination of Jack
Carr.
NO REVENGE MOTIVE
did Roy Carr kill Denhardt
for love of his sister who was
killed." Attorney General HUI
bert Meredith asked.
IT think not" Jack Carr re-
piled slowly.
Thus, with the vengeance mo-
tive off of the official record of
their testimony, the way was left
clear for the brothers to stand on
their plea that they killed Den
hardt in self-defense when the gen.
eral appeared to reach for a gun.
Jack Carr testified Denhardt
had made threats against the
Garrs.
Jacks story on the witness
stand was expected to parallel the
account of the shooting given the
jury yesterday by his brother, Roy,
who said:
II saw the general reach for
his hip pocket. I beat him to
the draw, hats ALL"

"Bricks With Straw
Found to Be Based
on Sound Science

Lynchburg, Va.-When the
old Pharaoh of Egypt in the
Bibles chapter of Exodus de-
MED the Hebrews further straw
with which to make brick, ne
may have been faced with a
shortage of straw or really
wanted to keep them busy as
reported. But on top of that,
whether he knew it or not, he
was throwing out a sound sci
entific phenom enon which
straw's properties had brought
to ancient brickmaking through
previous ages.
Experiments conducted by
Charles r. Oberfell, chemist for a
paper firm here, and Prof. John W.
Whittemore of the Virginia Poly
technic institute, Blacksburg, have
developed a material containing
tannin extract--a constituent OF
straw - for the manufacture Of
bricks.
h 1t was this material, and not the
binding qualities of straw, thai
made the Egyptian process worth
while, the chemists assert.
Known as "plasticade, the sub
stance has a lignin and tannir
base. 1t is being put into use b.
manufacturers of brick and TIL
throughout the United States.

WOOD, A MATERIAL
WITH A FUTURE

The American nation was founded
and built on wood use. Wood plays an
important part in practically every ae-
tivity of our life today, and its i'm
portance in the American scheme OF
living is increasing and will continue
to increase according to the u. 5. Forest
Products Laboratory Madison, Wis
consin.
There is, it is true, an indisputable
tendency in many fields today to get
away from wood" -concrete, metals,
and all sorts of new materials are COM
ing in. 1t may be timely to wonder II,
in the same fields, there may not be,
after some. of the newer materials
have been subjected to service tests by
that inexonable scientist Father Time,
balancing tendency to get back to
wood However, there is one thing
about wood, it is the handiest all
around abundant material, and the use
of something else usually carries some
kind of job for wood along with It,
Even concrete construction has created
outlets for thousands OF board feet OF
form material. The more complicated
the building, stadium, wharf, or bridge,
the more reason for using wood forms.
Even in the metals, machinery, and
other gear of the age in which we live,
wood does its part in making 1T all pos.
sible-from the mining and smelling Oh
the ore. through the foundry, with It's
beautifully fooled wood patterns which
determines the exact size and shape OF
castings, and so on to the packing and
shipping and the transportation OF the
finished goods into service. II seems
that all the thousands of new uses tor
4 metals and machinery are also uses tor
wood at the same time
Fifty billion-that's lot OF any
things the measure Of board feet oil
wood used every year, in the country
in the form Of lumber, fuel, and every
form of wood. Fifty billion board fee
of lumber would build board walk ~
feet wide out of inch boards from thf
earth to the moon.
OF all the uses into which this vas
stream Of lumber flows, building, ane
especially home construction, is ths
most important. Wood makes salts

Great Cities w ere
Built by People
of the Stone Age
Handsome Architecture
Found in Mesopotamia
g Science Service.-WNU Service.

New Haven, Conn.-Surpris-
ing evidence that Stone Age /
man became a civilized city fell I
low, and that it is all wrong to 7
think of our Stone Age ances-
tors as necessarily primitive,
has been unearthed from far
depths of the worlds oldest
city.
From the earthen mound at Tepe
Gawra in Mesopotamia, where
Prof E. A. Speiser of the University
of Pennsylvania is digging out the
thirteenth layer of ruins, he has
sent word of finding an acropolis of
impressive architecture. The ruins
represent the earliest known exam
pie of monumental architecture.
The buildings stood IN their
grandeur over 1000 years before
Christ.
The acropolis of the Stone Age city
consists Of three buildings, North
ern temple, Eastern shrine, and
Central temple, all opening upon
a main court with dwellings on one
side completing the enclosure.
Prof. Speiser announced the dis
covery to Prof. Millar Burrows,
president OF the American Schools
of Oriental Research, which is joint
sponsor Of the expedition together
with the University Vi Pennsylvania
and Dropsie college.
Main Court Awe Inspiring.
The complete acropolis can be
reconstructed, Prof. Speiser be-
lieves. He calls the Central temple
the Purple temple because all the
rooms show traces of red-purple
paint.
1.-THE Main court was an inspiring
sight" the archaeologist reports.
"Paved first with fine gravel and
later covered with stamped clay,
4 all but surrounded by monumental
buildings, this court was dominated
by the great niche of the Central OF
Purple temple. Whether calculated
or not. the effect must have been
awe inspiring. To the excavators
who could view the sight at what
was but a suggestion Of the orlglna
surroundings, the experience was
none the less profoundly moving.
Not Primitive People.
The acropolis discovery, Prof
Speiser states, clears up a problem
concerning this prehistoric era
The people have heretofore beer
called Painted Pottery Peoples, be
cause OF the mistaken notion tina
they could build only fiimsy mu'
/ novels and that their only clever
5 ness lay in making good clay wares
4 They are now revealed as far fror
!. primitive, and it can be al Las
! understood how they were able !
spread over and dominate vas
portion of the ancient world.
) Pointing out that Mesopotaml
! still has buried secrets, Prof. Spe
: ser saws that several layers RENAL
. to be dug. These may reveal ma
h in the inchoate infancy OF his CIV
n ization." Until these unknown leve
G are probed, the archaeologists :
: not feel sure whether the Stor
S, Age acropolis and its builders re
resent mankind in its exuperal
&c youth or in the maturity OF an a

s known surgeons, filed suit in District
! Court late yesterday for an injunction
!. and $4,000 damages.
: 3 The hospital and members Of its
i board of directors and executive staff
8 were made defendants.
: DR.. Cox, who gained widespread
1recognition for the peculiar technique
: he employs in operations for ap-
I pendicitis, charged that he never has
= been guilty of unprofessional or un-
I ethical conduct and there was no just
! reason why he should have been ex-
: cluded from the courtesy list" Of
I physicians to whom the facilities of
:, the hospital are available.
Cites Operations Record.
Since he evolved his present highly
. successful methods, he declared, he
g. has performed 1928 appendectomies.
. OF these, 2,013 were cases in which
, the malady was acute but the appen-
dix was not ruptured. In 361 cases,
q. the appendix was ruptured, and 854
{ were interval operations" he told the
] court.
!. The mortality rate among his
patients suffering from ruptured ap-
!: pendix was eight-tenths Of l per cent,
+, which is considerably less than any
. physician permitted the use of the
hospital can boast, DR.. Cox asserted
{. through his attorneys, w. Gwynn
/. Gardiner and James M. Earnest.
q. His method Of operating involves
an extremely small incision, and the
usual confinement Of patients is three
!: to five days.
He added that, from January !,
1886, to August Z, last, when he first
learned he was barred, he performed
442 appendectomies. and never has lost
q patient in Emergency Hospital.
=: Says Other Hospitals Open.
. He added that the facilities Of all
the other hospitals in the city stu
ARE available to him.
He said he went to members Of the
board to find the reason for the action
against him, but was refused the
desired information, and also was re-
fused hearing or an opportunity to
face his accusers.
This action, he asserted, was con-
:trary to the hospitals charter, which
makes it an open" hospital.
