THE DAUGHERTY RESIGNATION has resigned as Attorney General at the reU quest or. more properly speaking, at the demand of President Coolidge. The President gave as his reason that he could not he guided by Daugherty’s alviees in the matter of sending to the Wheeler committee certain Department of Justice documents because Daugherty, being under investigation, had a personal ’nterest incompatible with the public interest. Daugherty had refused the committee access to records on the ground it would be against the public interest and he had asked the President to approve his refusal. The President said he could not accept Daugherty’s advice as being unbiased. It is not being critical of the President’s attitude toward Daugherty and the Senate committee investigation to point out that the public interest would have been much bettor served if the President had done a month ago what he now has done. This newspaper can say this with the best of grace, because on March 4 it published an editorial of which the following are excerpts: “The private attorneys, Howland and Chamberlain, who have been employed by Attorney General Daugherty, have written letters to the special committee appointed by the Senate to investigate the Department of Justice. Among other things the letters say: “It is our pleasure to advise you that in the conduct of your investigation of the Department of Justice, every agency and facility of that department is at your disposal.” “That sounds fair, but it again calls attention to a most serious situation.’’ The bureau of investigation, under William J. Burns, is a powerful government agency that is a part of the Department of Justice. “The conduct of the bureau will, of necessity, be an important part of the committee’s investigation. “But if the committee had the unimpeded use of the bureau of investigation, with all its detectives and resources, it could run down the truth or falsity of the mass of rumor that tills the air.” “It is absurd to believe that with Burns, next to Daugherty the chief object of investigation, the bureau can and will function in aid of the committee and without fear or favor. “Operatives are not going to turn in reports adverse to the interests of their chiefs. This is not forejudging Mr. Burns. It is merely suggesting the course that ordinary good taste would dictate. “While the Public Lands Committee has been investigating Fall. McLean and company, etc., the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice seems to have been active in McLean’s behalf. If the bureau will do that for McLean, what will it do when the conduct of the Attorney General himself and of Mr Burns are directly at issue. , “Is this a time for one of the most powerful agencies of the Government to be in the camp of the accused so that its aetions can be controlled by the accused'officials and by the priv<Ae attorneys. “The Indianapolis Times has heretofore suggested that President Coolidge exercise his power to free this agency so it can function freely. “It respectfully renews that suggestion.” It is obvious that if the action which the President has now taken had been taken a month ago. the investigation of the Department of Justice would have progressel much more rapidly and along much more satisfactory lines than it has progressed. There has been criticism of the character of witnesses called and the character of the testimony against Daugherty’s conduct of the Department of Justice. Indeed, the committee has come dangerously near making itself ridiculous and the investigation has had narrow escapes from becoming a farce. But there has been a reason—under the surface. Official records have been withheld and the whole power of the department has been used to hamper and confuse the Senate committee. Being barred from access to Government records and having not the aid of a loyal bureau of investigation working in the public interest, the committee has had to fish in muddy waters—or do nothing. Assuming that the committee will now have access to Department of Justice files, and assuming these files have been left intact, it should not be long before the country should know the truth or falsity of the charges against Daugherty. It is to be hoped the committee will take full recognition of this change of affairs. It would be well if the committee would suspend its fishing and suspend hearing until it can quietly examine and study the official records which, unless the President intervenes, will be at their disposal. IT APPEARS there may be many a slip between the truth and the Vanderlip. RADIO will be largely used in the coming presidential campaign. we are told, and “hot air” will become something other than a figure of slangy speech.

COMPLEX NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROLS HUMAN MACHINE

Ancients Knew Very Little Concerning Purpose of the Brain, By DAVID DIETZ Science Editor of The Times "'onynyht by David Dietz) I q-, | HE bruin, the spinal cord and I I all the nerves and nerve cells I-- i make up the nervous system The brain is the organ of thought and consciousness. It is interesting to note that the ancients had little concept of the purpose of the brain. Aristotle thought the brain was a sort of wet sponge to keep the heart cool. The bi.un and the nerves constitute the telegraph system of the body. Tiie average brain weighs about three pounds It consist-- of an outer layer of gray matter composed of millions upon millions of nerve-cells and an inner layer of white matter consisting of fiber growing out of the nerve cells. All nerves -re composed of long fibers which grow out of nerve cells. The front part of tb© brain is divided into two halves or hemispheres which together constitute the so-called cerebrum. The cerebrum contains the centers of thought and consciousness and the centers of ensation which receive the rejiorte from the sense organs and nerve of -ensation, also the centers for controlling the musqles of the head, fa e. eyes, tongue, and so on. Failed Small Brain At the back of the head is a third part of the brain, the so-called cerebellum or "small brain." This coordinates the movements of the mus cles of the body. Below the cerebellum is the medulla which controls the muscles of the chest which cause breathing. It also controls the beating of the heni£. The spinni cord begins at the base of the inedlulla. From the spinal cord nerves run out to the skin and to the voluntary muscles. These nerves look like white glistening threads. Each one consists of a number of fibers bound together. These fibers grow out of nerve cells situated along the spinal cord. There are two sorts of fibers. One sort receives sensations and carries them to the spinal cord, where they are transferred to other nerves, which carry them up to the brain. The other sort receives the orders, so to speak, which are given by th© brain, and transmit them to the muscles, causing the muscular movements. Other very important nerves are the optic nerves, which in some way carry the images which fall on the retina of the eye to the brain. Also the auditory' nerves, which turn th© sound waves which strike the ear ini* sound sensations, which they carry to the brain. The nervous system, as we have said, constitutes the telegraph system of the body'. But physiologists have discovered that the body has a postal system. Manufacture Secretions Various glands called the duotiess glands manufacture secretions known as harmones. These harmones are poured into the blood. They regulate many bodily processes. The harmones from the thyroid gland seem to keep the body and brain in a normal condition, for failure of this gland to function results in bodily and mental disorders. Similarly, another gland called the pituitary body seems to control the growth of the tissues of the body. With this brief survey of the human machine, wo must close our study of life upon the earth. Let us now turn our attention to the minute particles from which the whole universe, the distant star as well as the human race, is formed. Next article in series: The Foundations of the Universe. Would Be Easier "Mother, can I be a preacher when I grow up?" **Of course you may, dear, if you want to.” “Yes, I do.

Lure of Golden Days Draws Pretty Dancer to Monte Carlo and Finis. By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent EONDON, March 2D.—Attracted by the lure of long golden days in the French Riviera and Monte Carlo, Mary Frances Smith, 21, a pretty, innocent butterfly, left the gloom of a London winter and found everything she desired, plus—death. Its’ the kind of story skilful novelists take for plots of their up-to-date fiction. Only' in this case the book does not close upon the heroine’s wedding and she doesn’t live happily ever after. Instead, she has an untimely grave. Four years ago Mary Frances, as her friends knew her, was a happy school girl, with a turn for dancing. Her pretty face, her trim figure, her gracefulness, all helped to make her an entrancing picture. Her father, a successful London riding master, was not anxious for his girl to take to a prof- ssionel career, but Mary Frances pleaded so hard that he gave in. Made Big ilif She scored some minor successes here in London and then acquaintances in high places suggested a better field was down in the Riviera. Thither come all the world’s rich moneyed aristocracies. They are bored and dull and they seek new amusements. Skilful dancers at the gilded hotel places make good money. So the London mis< blossomed out suddenly as May Vivian. MtchaeJ Rinder, an exhibition dancer at one of the bier Monte Carlo hotels, rnose her as his professional partner and their (lance was one of the hits of the past winter. Enter now two more characters in this little drama of love and death —a young English nobleman, heir to a peerage, whose name has been suppressed, and Vincent Si rello, a handsome olive-skinned young tlalian. One Shot Ended All He was about May Vivian's age. He, too, was a dancer. He courted the girl, but he found th" young nobleman was his riva.. She told him he was silly He remained away from her and she thought things were over and done with. The other night, as she was driving home with her dancing partner and another English girl, a man leaped on the running board of the car. drew his pistol and shot, killing M!.s Vivian instantly It was th© end of her trail—and now the police are hunting for Sirello, who bias disappeared from his usual haunts.

He reports that any alert human, spending a prolonged period in dose observation of domestic fowls, can learn to understand their language. This language, he states, was developed during their wild state and passed on to their less intelligent domesticated descendants. Human selection has greatly changed the size, color, markings, laying ability and domestlo qualities of hens, but their language remains the same, universal for all. Different mammals share part of man’s language. Certain sounds denoting joy, grief, fear, distrust, amity and acme other feelings are not only the same for all tribes of men, and understood by all, but are identical with the sounds used by other species of mammals to express the some emotions. In other words, this scientist believes part of man’s language Is older £han man himself.
