RAINS CAUSE SLIGHT DAMAGE TO JjGKWAYS Paving Crews Start Work on Gap on State Route 34. Recent heavy qains have caused only a minimum amount of damage to State roads the weekly bulletin of the State highway department issued today declares. The most serious damage was the washing away of about three feet of fill beneath the paving on Rd. 52, near Sugar Creek. The washout was caused by the creek’s overflow. Paving crews have started work on the last gap on Rd. 34, between New Ross and Crawfordsville which, on completion, will provide Indianapolis a paved route to the historic city of General Lew Wallace and to Danville, 111. Indianapolis traffic which for some time has been routed via Lebanon, should now use Rd. 34, direct to Crawfordsville and over a thirteen-mile detour between New Ross and Crawfordsville, ten mile of which is over paved county road. General road conditions are listed in the bulletin as follows: Ed. 2—Detour from Illinois State line to east edge of Lowell is fourteen miles; good except west one and one-half miles. Ra. 3—Detour two miles north of Muncie to Hartford City is eighteen and one-half miles. Detour from Petroleum to Bluffton is nine and one-half miles. (Both subject to change as work progresses).

PUSH 4-TRUNK RAIL MERGER Eastern Heads Meet Today to Talk Combine. By United Press NEW YORK, June 22.—Eastern railroads appeared to be a step nearer the four-trunk merger today as the presidents of leading lines prepared to resume their conferences which were interrupted two weeks ago. The negotiations were nalted temporarily when the New York Central and the Baltimore & Ohio failed to agree on the disposition of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, which they control iointly. Today’s meeting was called in the offices of P. E. Crowley, president of the New York Central. Among those expected to attend were J. J. Berjiet, president of the Erie; O. P. and M. J. Van of the Nickel Plate; Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, and W. W. Atterbury, president of the Pennsylvania. Officials of the Pennsylvania will insist that the Jersey Central become a neutral line, and are prepared to turn over their holdings .n the Wabash to the B. & O. to gain that point. The B. & O. is said to have demanded exclusive control of the Jersey Central as well as the Wabash. Vernon; but in wet weather good three and one-half-mile detour is used. Rd 66—Detour from two miles east of Evansville to Newburg is eight and onehalf miles. Impassable between Newburg and Hatfield with no detour.’ Through traffic avoid Rd. 66 and route via Rds. 45 and 62 until further notice. Detour onehalf mile west of Rockport is four and one-half miles. Hd 87 —Bridge run-around one and onehalf miles south of Brucevllle. U S Rd. 150—Bridge run-around one and one-half miles west of West Baden. Detour between West Baden and Paoli is fifteen miles. , . . . Roads not mentioned and parts of roads mentioned, but not specified, and all detours not otherwise described are in good condition. .

Dr. Langworthy has been studying the brains of ten specimens caught by himself and associates off Cape Hatteras last February in an expedition financed by the Linton fund. Porpoises have reached anew importance in the scientific world because of the growing scarcity of whales, which they closely resemble. Asa matter of fact the porpoise is a more highly developed animal from the evolutionary point of view than man, for the porpoise, after reaching the cat or dog stage of development, took up an aquatic

habitation and underwent further evolutionary changes to suit his new environment. The foreleg changed to a fin and the hindleg disappeared entirely. The skull broadened at the sides and shortened in front, so that the nose was forced up above the eyes, where it became a blow hole, while the olfactory nerve was cut off entirely. On the other hand the nerve of hearing is very well developed. These changes in the brain are now being studied with a view to explaining the evolutionary changes noted in the skull and to determining how much bf the change is due to the aquatic environment.
