Charles F. Horner, president of the
National Aeronautic Association, was
selected chairman of an observance
committee at that time
The committees recommendation
that local Federal and civic organiza-
tions throughout the United States be
contacted to arrange luncheons or
dinners at which outstanding aero
nautic or civic leaders speak on the
significance of mans first flight, and
the progress made during the past "a
years, has met approval and co-opera-
ton, it is reported.
Planes to Fly.
Weather permitting, the committee
also recommended that as many air
craft as possible take the air around
1890 am, the approximate hour OF
Orville Wright's history fight

Eleven organizations, including the
United States Bureau of Air Com
merce, the Army Air Corps and the
Navy Bureau of AeronauticS were rep
resented at the conference last month
and plan to take an active part in the
observance.
The Navy Bureau has instructed
the commander of Carrier Division
2, whose command includes the
aircraft carriers Yorktown, Enterprise
and Wasp, to make commemorative
flights Friday. Planes from the York
town and Enterprise. now fitting out
at Norfolk, Va, will fly to Kitty
Hawk on the anniversary date.
Army to Fly in Honor.
All available aircraft of the Army
Air Corps throughout the Nation have
been ordered to take the air at ap-
proXimately 1890 am. Friday. While
the hundreds of planes are aloft, fit
ting exercises are to be held below.
All airports are to stage local cere-
mony, with aircraft displays, aerial
reviews and exhibitions, luncheons and
radio broadcasts.
The National Aeronautic Associa-
ton and the Ninety mines, women's
national flying organization, will con-
tact their local chapters in request
ing ceremonies in each unit. The
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
OF America has offered its facilities
and cooperation.
The United States Chamber of
Commerce and the Junior Chamber

Cl0ck-Like Function of Brain
And 4 Sleep Leuels Revealed
National academy of Sciences Told of
Tests Recording Electrical Wapes
of Varied Intensity.

fixing the mind upon that time before
going to sleep.
The experiments reported today
throw the first scientific light on this
phenomenon. In one of the sleep
stages short bursts OF the alpha
rhythm were produced when bell
was sounded. After this had been
done at regular intervals few times
1t was found that the characteristic
rhythms were appearance couple
OF seconds before the sound which
was intended to produce them.
This was considered evidence that
In the brain there is some sort Of
subconscious cyclic process, like the
beat OF clocks pendulum, in the
brain which goes on in both sleeping
and waking
This" the Investigators reported,
is no doubt the basis of our pre-
ception Of time intervals"
New Type of Geometry.
An iconoclastic sort of geometry,
with crazy triangles refusing to con-
form to age-old conventions, was
described before the academy y
DR.. Edward Kassner of Columbia
University.
1t constitutes wholly new branch
OF mathematics, just as elementary
as plain geometry. DR.. Kassner calls
it "trihornometry." BY means of it
all the theorems of classical trigo-
nometry-the basis of Surveying-can
be re-derived with startlingly different
results.
The basis of this new geometry is
the "trihorn," the figure formed when
three curves pass through 4 common
point in a common direction. The
point of horn is common example
Of such figure made up of two
curves. How to measure the angle
formed was problem which was
worrying the Greeks in the days of
Euclid, but it completely baffled them,
How the body remakes red blood cells
was explained before the academy last
night by DR.. G. H. Whipple of the
University of Rochester.
When red blood cells wear out in
the circulation, DR.. Whipple said, they
diSintegrate, and the hemoglobin, or
red coloring matter, breaks down into
three fractions-iron, protein and a
pigment known as hemin. The iron
is stored for future use The hemin is
thrown away. The protein is probably
used, through process not yet un-
derstood, to make up new blood cells
Infection will slow down or stop
the mechanism which produces new
red blood cells, and this explains many
of the human anemias," Dr. Whipple
said This is due to an upset of the
internal mechanism which relates to
the liver and the bone marrow"

Court Procedure.
As far as procedure is concerned, the
judge, If the case is tried and If libel
is proved, would instruct the jury to
find reasonable sum of damages. The
defendant, if dissatisfied, might appeal.
Under normal circumstances the
duke would appear in court and offer
himself for cross-examination. But, it
was stated, there was not the slightest
possibility he would do so in the pres
ent case. A commission would be
named to take his deposition and that

abroad
The outcome of the English case,
lawyers said would have no direct ef-
feet on possible action in other coun-
tries. But, these persons added, there
would be nothing to prevent the duke
from bringing suit abroad If he so
chose, although that probably would
involve his presence in the place where
the suit was filed.

do trust gentlemen-and trust that I
may be pardoned for giving this ad-
monition, which is suggested in abso-
lutte friendship and candor-that YOU
must consider, at least for the present,
the rather distressing situation OF our
national financing situation. It is 60
ing to be impossible, in my judgment,
for the Congress Of the United States
to be as liberal in its appropriations as
1t would like to be for the next year, or
two or three. for these appropriations
are the great problem that you ladies
and gentlemen are seeking to solve
Il am sure that, looking into your
faces and judging you to be men OF
large and fine business experiences,
that you would take into considera-
ton, in your demand and expectation,
the absolute situation with which the
Congress OF the United States Is con-
fronted."
Projects Believed Approved.
1t was understood Informally early
today that the Special Committee on
Projects, which was to report this
afternoon, had approved two projects
for Washington-the harbor and the
Potomac River, north side Of Wash
ington Channel
Ogden J. Ross, chairman of the
New York State Flood Control Com
mittee, reported that already New
York State stands committed TO spend
s6000,000 of State money in connec-
tion with the provisions OF the 1885
Federal flood control act.
Bulwarked by reiterated demands
from States in the flood regions, the
Resolutions Committee was under
stood to be drafting strong resolutions
to call on the administration for
action.
Discussion Scheduled.
A barrage Of discussion of widely
scattered flood control problems, and
river and harbor proposals, was sched-
uled for the morning session, with
Representative Jack Nichols of Okla
homa presiding.
Seventeen speakers were listed for
the morning session, leading off with
Senator Overton Of Louisiana, presi-
dent Of the Mississippi Valley Flood
Control Association; Senator Chavez
of New Mexico, member Of the House
Irrigation and Reclamation Commit
tee; Senator Ellender of Louisiana,
Representative Zimmerman of Mis-
souri,, Representative Ferguson of

FLOOD
FUND IS URGED
Larger U. S. Control Share
Asked by Rivers and
Harbors Congress.

The Federal Government should
bear larger percentage OF the cost
of flood control, leaving a smalle,
share for States and local communi-
ties, according to a report of the
Interstate Committee on Flood Con-
troll, presented today to the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress ut the
Mayflower Hotel.
Alan N. Jordan Of Columbus, Ohio
after presenting a comprehensive re-
port OF the committee, was pressed
by President Frank r. Reid of the
congress for brief summary OF what
the report meant.
We want a modification Of the
local contribution" said Jordan, add
ing, "the best we can get"
Specifies Fair Basis.
He explained that, in the opinion
OF the committee, fair basis for the
flood control division of expense
would be for the local agency to
buy the land and for the Federal
Government to build the dams and
change over the utilities, such as
highways.
Pressed by Reid. who said that GER
tain Southern States were "quarreling
among themselves and do not want
to pay anything" Jordan added, I'VE
don't want to pay anything, either. "
After adjournment Jordan ex-
planned the committee hopes the
Copeland flood control bill will be
amended, because, as it now stands,
local agencies would have to pay up
yards of SO per cent IN some places. u
Little hope for increased Federal
contributions to food control funds
has been held out by the admin
istration. AS matter of fact, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in his short written
message yesterday to the convention
at the Mayfower Hotel, made no men
ton of appropriations.
Called to Attention o. Congress
The address by Speaker of the
House Bankhead yesterday was called
TO the attention Of the Congress again
today by Frank R. Reid, president OF
the Congress. He read from a steno-
graphic report, quoting Bankhead as
saying:

realizing the authors bitter disap-
pointment, shared by millions of his
countrymen, over the sensational cir
cumstances of the abdication or with
out feeling that, all things considered

Notwithstanding the attack on
this book, the American publishers
have no hesitation in presenting it to
the American public over their i'm
print and ask that the book be judged
as a whole and not on few words OF
paragraphs which have been widely
quoted in the press"

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

There is "clock" in the brain
the basis for an often postulated but
never before demonstrated sense o,
time.
There are four brain levels Of sleep
There are two fundamental types Of
human beings distinguished by the
electrical activities Of their brains
These findings were reported to the
National Academy of Sciences today
by Drs. E. Newton Harvey, Alfred l.
Loomis and Garret A. Hobart OF
Princeton University. They worked
with the weird phenomenon Of brain
waves, the origin or meaning of which
is not yet understood. When electrodes
are attached to the scalp Of a person
at rest with the eyes closed electrical
waves passing over the surface Of the
brain are recorded.
There are two types of these brain
waves-the alphas and the betas The
former has rhythm OF 10 second
the latter Of 80 to 40 second. The
Princeton scientists found that some
persons show only the alpha pattern
some only the beta pattern, and con-
stitute pure brain electricity types
Most persons range somewhere be-
tween these two extremes.
1t was with alpha" persons only
that they were able to demonstrate
the four distinct levels through which
one passes in falling asleep. This Is
the record of a typical subject:
At the beginning of sleep" the alpha
rhythm disappeared for periods of 20
or 80 seconds and then reappeared
again. This corresponds to the bor-
derland of sleep when person can
sometimes signal that he is awake
and sometimes not
This was soon followed by a COM
plete change in the record. The
alpha rhythm was replaced by ran
dom waves which were interrupted by
bursts Of alpha potentials every time
bell was sounded. This continued for
5 minutes and then only random po-
tentials appeared with no alpha
rhythm at the beginning or end of a
tone signal Another state of sleep had
been reached.
Soon there appeared short burst
of waves of IA second-"so-called
spindles, indicating deep sleep. Short
ly afterward a door was slammed, the
continuous alpha rhythm reappeared
and the subject awoke."
