They would say that a good deal of a person’s ability to see de- pends not upon the number of neurons | in the cortical area, but the exercise and training of those neurons in the art of seeing. Most of us, of course, are self-educated. They would hold the same position for the ability to co- ordinate. Now, if one learns to see by seeing things and to hear by hearing things a child shut off for years from seeing and hearing contacts, as this little girl is alleged to have been, wouldn't have much discriminatory aquity in either sense. And if she hasn't seen or heard, what chance has she had to develop those areas equipped for the co-ordination of seeing and hearing? If we don't like what we see or hear we try to escape, in some way or other. If & man is nagged by his wife, for ex- ample, he has various choices for get- ting away from the situation. He can take the aggressive attitude and beat her over the head. He can put on his hat and walk out of the house, leaving |y her talking. This is the retreat attitude. But supposing she is too big to silence with a club, and that the doors are locked—how is he going to escape the disagreeable sound stimuli which are impinging on the auditory area of his cerebral cortex and causing all sorts of painful co-ordinations elsewhere?

Urging adequate preparedness at all times, Senator Hiram Bingham of Con- necticut declared “the last thing in which we should ecoromize is the na- tlon's first line of defense—the Navy,” in an address before the Asztec Club of 1847 at its eighty-fourth anniversary dinner in the Willard Hotel last night.

Y., November 21.— More than 13 years after the United States colller Cyclops disappeared with- out trace from the high seas, a Brook- lynite bobbed up today with startling and hitherto unrevealed ipformation. | It sheds new light on the outstanding sea mystery of the World War. The Brooklynite is Henry Charles Ryder, a licensed marine and stationary engineer, who lives with his family at 242 Irving avenue. Seeking the aid of the Kings County American Iegion in his search for employment, Ryder was revealed by his papers as ensign engi- neer on the Cyclops up to the eve of her fatal voyage. Reluctantly, the modest, soft-spoken engineer was induced to tell his story of mysterious happenings on the col- lier prior to her last trip.

The Cyclops, it will be recalled, en route from the Barbadoes to Baltimore with a cargo of 15,000 tons of man- ganese ore, disappearsd with her crew of 221 men, 15 officers and 64 naval pas- sengers after she had been spoken by the S. 8. Amalco off the Virginia Capes on March 9, 1918, Ryder's story goes back several months before that—to a voyage from Prance to New York. “There was a general spirit of un- easiness among the crew,” sald Ryder. “There was talk of five German spies being on board. Suspicion was ram- pant, the more disturbing because noth- ing could found at first which seemed to warrant it. “Then came the direct evidence. One day the rope hoists of a life boat were found clearly cut. A quick inspection of the other life boat hoists was made. Every one of them had been cut clean with a keen blade. Several Men Suspected. “The life boats had been renflered virtually useless in an emergency. There was & quiet investigation. It never was }enmod ‘who ‘Il‘l r!lponltl.blle. but the eeling of unresf ong the crew was intensified. e “From New York we went up to Halifax. Suspicion began to center on several men. One of them was in my gang in the engine room. It was re- ported to me that this man had been seen with a sledge hammer near one of the valves that time on I kept him on extra hours of duty and Temain duty myself until we were both physically exhausted, so that I could kegp him constantly under my eye. “On the way back from Halifax to New York one of the officers discovered | that a light had been run up on the mainmast. Purther investigation dis- closed wires and a key. The lamp had been rigged as a ‘blinker’ signal. Again an investigation failed to close who was responsible. “Of course it was war time and we were running without lights. Then one night Ensign Roy T. Smith, on duty on the bridge, saw a light flashing from the quarters of the medical officers af! on the starboard. He told me it peared to be a pocket flashlight and was being used to signal. “Fearing a reprimand if he left his post to make an immediate investiga- tion—for getting aft on the Cyclops was no simple matter—he did not re- port it to the captain until he went off duty in the morning. The result was another fruitless inquiry.” No Wreckage Ever Found. ‘The day_before the Cyclops left Nor- folk for Rio De Janeiro, where she took on the cargo of manganese for the Bethlehem Steel Co. plant at Bal- timore, Ryder was transferred to the U. 8. 8, Azama and thus escaped the fate of his former shipmates. With these incidents in mind, the thing that convinces Ryder that the | Cyclops was destroyed deliberately is the fact that no autnhenticated traces of any wreckage ever were found. “If she had merely foundered and sunk,” he continued, “there would have been of some kind adrift or washed ashore d\mn’ all these ‘fll’l What became of the life rafts? b became of all the other things that would have floated?

A former Marine sergeant stated that & man with whom he chanced to room in Texas had left behind a diary. 2 . ‘The diary entries revealed a story of how the writer witn four others packed dynamite around the engine of the Cyclops and tried to escape to a Ger- man vessel in o small boat before the explosior ‘Two of them, according to the dia did reach the German ves- | sel. ‘The writer of the diary, supposed to be the chance acquaintance of the Marine, neveribas been found.

C. Funds to Relieve Unemployment Here. In drafting the next District appro- priation bill, Senator Bingham, Repub- lican, of Connecticut, believes Congress should hold down expenditures for pur- chase of land to cases of absolute necessity in order to allot as much as | possible of the available funds to items | which would create employment. Senator Bingham, who is chairman | of the Senate Appropriations Subcom- mittee, which handles the District sup- ply bill, advanced this suggestion yes- terday in commenting on requests of citizens for additional playground spaces. “Greatly as I appreciate the need for more parks and playgrounds,” the Senator said, “and notwithstanding my realization of the fact that land can be bought cheaper at present, it seems to me that it is to the interest of tax- payers to restrict the purchase of land at this time to only matters of absolute necessity. “And I hope the residents of the District will realize the importance to taxpayers of keeping expenditures at a minimum. Expenditures should be limited, so far as possible, to providing | employment rather than purchasing desirable parcels of land.” Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan- sas, chairman of the Senate District Committee, 1is expected here soon and probably will begin, shortly after his arrival, a study of the schedule of roposed legislation left over from the t Congress. Bills not acted ug,on by the last Congress must be reintro- duced and taken up sgain in committee, since this will be & new Congress. | PHYSICIANS TO DISCUSS DISEASES OF WINTER ‘The third of & series of public health talks conducted by the Bo- ciety of the District of Columbia will be given Comes.’ ‘The physicians, Dr. H.
