WBIANA NAYOR 5 AGAININ TROUBLE City May Be Hilhont Services of Executive Indianapolis, Ind., ~-Another complication of Indiana- polis politics was in progress today. and citizens feared a recurrence of the situation of three months ago. Wi n the city was virtually without a mayor for five days. Today's battle w started when AMayor L. Slack Ly an order of which declared he the city council was no longer eiving notice to vacate lack immediately sur- rbuud 1 himself with a police guard snd continued to administer the af- fairs of the city. He was said to have taken the at- titude that the council’'s order was invalid and it was expected that the council would apply for a court or- der to enforce its decree. The present battle had its origin in the council's ousting of Mayor John L. Duvall, three months ago. Although the council contended it removed him, Duvall asserted he re- aigned before receiving the council ‘order. Duvall petitioned the council that his resignation had allowed his wife to succeed to the mayoralty from Ber office of city controller. Mrs. Duvall asserted she had ac- cepted the mayor's office and had merved 15 minutes, long enough to' appoint Ira Holmes to her old job of city comptroller. Holmes, as city controller. then laid claim to the city executive's of- fice, but the council overrode his request and appointed Slack. Now Black finds himself position of being removed by the same council which appeinted him. In ordering S8lack’s removal the council said it now believed “an in- | .justice may have been done to Holmes. No announcement was made as to whether the council fn- tended recognizing Holmes' old claim te the office. SHEEP UNDERGOING EXCEPTIONAL TESTS Gornell Wether Endures Sylr thetic Breakdown Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 31. UP—Horace, Cornell | | rzn 1) the game old wether of University, has had a nervous break. down—a synthetic one, 8o to speak, tor it was produced at the will of a phyalologist. Dr. Howard 8..Lid4ell of the Cor- nell physiological tield station, who is studying flexes in gnimald, upset the balance bl oy ok the result was that Horece became a neurasthenic. A long rest recon- altioned him, however, and he is ready for lunher comrihuuonn to. sclence. The object. cf Dr Liddell's pain. loss e iments with Horace isdo substantiate the theory-of Dr. 1. P. Paviov, eelebrated Russian physio- logist, that the hrain of an animal is only a storehouse for reflex ac- tions in which definitely localized processes of excitation and inhibi- tion are delicately balanced. Posi- tive response, or action, is regard- cd by Dr. Pavlov as the result of «xcitation, and negative response or {naction, is considered lhe corollary of inhibition.

He ‘was placed on a table in a quiet !room where no distractions could divert his attention. Fastened to one leg were two thin wires. In the next room, out of he animal's sigh, Dr. Ligdell started a me- | tronome, causing it to beat once a second. Every sixth second he sent ‘n weak electric current through the \wh’e'. The prick of the charge caused the wsther to life the leg. | After this experiment had 1cen repeated many times Horace moved the leg immediately after the fifth beat, without waiting for the sixth stroke which always brought the shock. This was the conditioned veflex sought by Dr. Liddell Horace's nervous eystem was auto- matically responding to the com- bined excitation of the tick of the instrument and the delayed urge of the current. But his brain was sill preserving the balance be- tween action and inaction. The animal's breakdown came when the physiologist attempted to hussten the formation of the leg- lifting habit by doubling the daily rumber of ecxperiments. Hortice's power to control his response to the metronome disappeared, and he would lift the leg on each beat. ap- parently being in a highly excited state. The sheep was then given a month’'s vacation. During that in- terval his mental equilibrium was restored and when the experiments were resumed he was back at his old trick of lifting his leg at the completion of the fifth beat, without waiting for the shock that marked the sixth. Although Dr. Liddell is not ready | to draw any lessons for human be- | ings from his observations of the sheep's behavior, he believes that what is popularly. called nervous breakdown due to overwork scems similar in every way to thesc ex- | perimentally preduced nervous dis- turbances. “It may b2" he says, neurasthenia and hysteri; are dis- turbances of this nature; in other words, unusual situations that up- set the brain balance.” EFFICIENT UNPIRING | Devereux Milburn Does Not Agree “that With Charges as Printed in Eng- lish Newspapers.

Almost every one of the latter va~ rietles are creatures 'that are out of place, aspecies that man has brought in his commerce from sgme other country to our own. Among these are the gypsy moth, the Euro- pean corn borer, Japanese beetle, Heasian fly, and San Jose scale, to say nothing of the domestic roaches, house-flles, bed-bugs and the lke. “Why should these foreigners multiply . so rapidly in the United States? The reason is that when man introduced them he failed to introduce other insects which prey- ed upon and checked them in their native lands. “Man upset the balance of nature.
