BIDS FOR SCHOOL
WITHIN MAXIMUM
Lower Figures on Coolidge
High Would Eliminate
Some Features.

BY elimination of some features Of
the projected Calvin Coolidge High
School, to be built at Fifth and Sheri-
dan streets NV, the structure can
be erected within the appropriation
limit of $1,35o,0oo. under bids opened
yesterday by District oficials.
Final determination OF the low bid
der under the six alternate proposals
upon which the Commissioners re-
ceived bids from contractors has not
been reached, but officials gave assur-
ance that construction of the new
high school could be started within
the next several weeks.
On the straight bidding, without
considering alternates, the low bid was
for sl,399.0oo, or something more than
the authorized cost. and other bids
ranged up to sl.529,O00. However
one Of the alternate plans called for
one, instead Of two. gymnasiums, and
for this elimination contractors pro-
posed deductions ranging from s51 200
to $4,000, which would bring the total
cost within the authorized limit.
Another alternate permitted con-
struction Of building with fiat roof
instead Of pitched roof, but Capt
H. s. Bishop, assistant engineer COM
missioner, In charge Of construction
projects, said he would recommend the
pitched roof plan.
The building is planned to house
$500 pupils. 1t will be of three stories
1t will have at least one gymnasium
and an auditorium. Work must be
started within 10 days after the con-
tract has been awarded and the con-
tractor given instructions to start erec-
ton of the building.

Ne'o Body qnd Brain Relation
Is Revealed by Surgeon Here
DR.. George Crile's Discovery Goes Fa'
to Explain Mans Dominant
Position.

. brain reserve beyond what Is re-
quired to keep the body furnace
going and this can be utilized to
make the fires burn too fast.
BY his newly-discovered law, DR.
Grille said, it Is now clear for the first
time why man with his preponderat-
ing intelligence, preponderating brain
and preponderating thyroid gland Sc
completely dominates the earth. They
make him the only thinking, walking
animal. Man alone works all day and
worries all night. Man alone acquires
exothalmic goitre. Fish, reptiles, birds
the antelope, the lion and the elephant
cannot qualify for this disease. They
lack the energy requirement which is
peculiar to civilized man. It is that
fraction Of the human race that is
most Intelligent, most ambitious, most
valorous. most given to worry, that is
most susceptible to exothalmic goitre."

F., Attributed to Thyroid Gland.

Hitherto this condition has been at
tributed to the thyroid gland alone.
Under DR.. Crile's theory-he himself,
by the way, was the pioneer in thyroid
surgery and has performed thousands
Of such operations-it is q disease of
the whole brain-thyroid-adrenal en-
ergy-creating system. He likened .
person with this disease to an auto
mobile pushed to the highest speed at
which 1t could be driven by . driver
who did not know how to slow 1t down.
The malady usually can be greatly
mitigated by thyroid surgery. The
same result, DR.. Grille said, could be
obtained by cutting away the adrenal
nerve supply or probably by an opera
ton on the brain itself If one knew
where to cut. There Is, however, no
localization Of the brains energy CEN
ter and it may be the organ as q
whole. The thyroid still is the safest
place for surgery, he said
Under his theory only man could
suffer, from this disease. Whales
and porpoises, fortunately live in
the sea where they get plenty OF
iodine. Besides they are not given
to worry. The Eskimo, who might
be expected from the size Of his brain
to suffer from exothalmic geitre most
frequently, Is saved b. his flah diet
ana his sxtrsmely placid temperament.

UNIVERSITY NOTES

The Delaware soccer season will
open October II when Temple will

ger Field. Delaware had the best
season in the history Of the sport
last year and most Of that squad are
out again this season.
Bids will be asked In a short time

ing ready for use when college opens
in September next year.
These two projects will cost near
ly $780, 900 without any Of the money
coming from the State. The PWA
will aid with both projects. H. Flet-
cher Brown will give in excess OF
100000 towards the administration
building while another friend Of the
