With the state board of health standing aside In the Twin Cities controversy over disposal of sewage, the Minneapolis city council consid- ered plans for a compromise. ‘The other issue—congressional re- apportionment — headed for the courts, which in Governor Floyd B. Olson's opinion will uphold his veto of the legislative measure he deemed unfair. The state board of health Thursday decided not to bring court action to settle the sewage question, which con-, cerns Mississippi river pollution. Rather, the board will urge Minne- apolis and St. Paul to do all they can to help clean up the river. The Minneapolis council plan would j exclude: South St. Paul, source of much packing plant sewage, from the Twin Cities sanitary. district but would permit disposal of its waste by contractual arrangement. The Twin Cities, under the plan, would pay the cost of a sewage sys- tem on an assessed valuation basis, as was provided in the legislative meas- ure Governor Olson vetoed. The move for testing validity of the governor’s reapportionment bill veto got under way with refusal of the secretary of state to accept the filing of Emil E. Holmes, Minneapolis, as an at-large Democratic candidate for congress for 1932. At the same time the Minneapolis legislative delegation cot:tending tie veto was legal, sought means of ob- taining court approval of its stand. Devils Lake Man Dead at His Home Devils Lake, N.

If not you should not use, them.” “Some persons,” commented Dr. Rober} A. Millikan, head of Cal- ifornia Institute of Technology, “speak glibly about soul and spirit. as things which cannot be de- fined precisely. They assume with equal glibness that when they talk of atoms they are speaking of something that can be so defined. “We speak of mechanisms, but we cannot fully define that term without first defining matter, and we cannot do that precisely at present.” Dr. Chester Conklin, Princeton - 514 Main ee wees presiding at the round table, said: Frequently I have questioned Psychologists as to the meaning of soul, but I have not been able to get: anything definite. Ma- chines give-us the possibility of extending our personalities far- ther in time and space, but I sus- pect that the human being re- mains much as he was in the old Adam stage.” Commenting on statistics that man’s life has been lengthened, Dr. Arthur H. Compton of the University of Chicago asked: “Can the biologists offer any hope of lengthening the period of youth?” Youth, he explained, is the pe- riod when mental equipment de- velops, implying that longer youth may result in developing a more intelligent race. Dr. H, H. Donaldson, Wistar institute, Philadelphia, replied there are very few mammals of whose growth, or youth periods, biologists have precise knowledge.
