Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 28.—A pos- sible insight into the qualities of primitive speech through the appli- cation of recent inventions in acous- tics to the remains of prehistoric skulls was suggested by Prof. Mark H. Liddell of Purdue university in an address prepared for delivery before the American Anthropological associ- ation today. Recent investigations, he sald, had made it possible to learn the fundamental “qualities of speech sound, which conditioned all lan- guage. Prof. J. Crosby Chapman of Yale university, in a paper written for the American psychological - association, another of the organizations meeting with the American association for the advancement of science, criticised too great dependence ‘on intelligence tests. He warned particularly against a tendency to estimate by the differ- ence between the standing of an in- dividual in intelligence tests and in school tests the extent to which he was taking advantage of his school opportunity. NEW REGORD ESTABLISHED During 1922 c:t_y_l_:r—l;rld's Staft - Has Against 5,260 in 1921, Mainly as a result of the numerous sales ahd transfers of stores, restau- rants, etc., one of which followed practically every conviction for viola- tion of the liquor laws in police court, the number of deeds recorded at the office of City Clerk A. L. Thompson this year is already more than 1,000 in excess of last year's total. This year there have been 6,320 papers re- corded as against 5,266 for last year. Another contributing factor was the unusually great number of automo- biles sold this year under conditional bills of sale, and sales under similar conditions of coffee grinders, meat cutting machines and scales to grocery and meat stores. In both lines the number of papers has been far in ex- cess of any previous records af the town clerk's office. Committee Named for o Common Council Banquet Mayor A. M.

PRESIDENT ASKS SENATE OPPOSITION (Continued From First Page) task of the government in dealing with the European situation the first practical step would be to free the hands of the commission o that help- ful negotiations may be undertaken. “It 18 quite generally accepted that adjustment of the question of repara- tlons must underlle any economic ré- habliitation of Hurope, and repara- tions cannot be settled without the consent of governments concerned, The United States cannot assume to say to one nation what It shall pay in repatations nor to another nation what It shall #cept. xxx “Sa far as the limitation of land armaments is concerned, there seems to be at this time no more promising prospect of accomplishment than when the conference was held in Washington a year ago. xxx “With respect to a limitation or auxillary types of naval craft, which are not limited by the present naval treaty, it is to be sald that such an agreement is much to be desired, whenever practicable, but we may reasonably postpone our further en- deavors along that line until the agreements made at the Washington conference secure the final sanction of all governments concerned. “Very truly yours, “WARREN G.
