SG BIT STS WILL JHJHTIfS Method of Doubling Energy Storage Rate of Wheat One of Exhibits By HOWARD- W. BLAKESLXE ATLANTIC CITT, N. J., Pee. 27 (AP) A method of more than doubling the rate at which growing wheat stores np energy in good form is being exhibited here this week to scientists gath ering from all parts of the Unit ed States for the annual meeting of the American Association For the Advancement of Science. rne scientists win also see a moving shadow which testa a man's creative ability. X-rays In three dimension will give them a new picture of the Interior of the human body. Cosmic rays will lose some of their mystery by flashing into visible light on a machine. They are all part of the sci entific exhibitions for the meet ing arranged under directorship of Dr. F. W. Brown of Wash ington. The "energy" exhibit is shown by the Smithsonian institution. This energy is stored np in the wheat from sunlight in the pro cess of converting carbon dioxide into starch and sugars. The experiment is the most ex tensive yet conducted on a high er plant. It shows the relation of the energy storage process to the strength of light. This Is done by growing wheat plants In artificial atmospheres containing different amounts of carbon dloz ide than found in the open air. There are some possibilities of practical application in green houses and In enclosed fields. The Smithsonian Investigators however, are concerned more about learning the characteris tics of the process than its im mediate application. They are in effect attempting to establish more clearly the laws of plant energy storage. Men ob tain energy In assimilating food by reversing the plant process, burning it with oxygen back Into carbon dioxide. i. PRICE. CiSIDA PLEADS HOCK Jimmy Price and Jack Caslda were haled into justice court yes terday on joint charge of beating Casida's mother, Mrs. L. A.

Both are fond ef aO kinds ef outdoor sports, particularly speedboat racing. Miss Glasgow is e niece of the celebrated novelist, Elian Glasgow, end makes her home ia New York and London alternately. The Duke baa been rumored engaged on several occasions, the most notable ef which were to the Princess Beatrice of Spain, daughter ef the dethroned King Alfonso, and to Princess Eudoxia, sister of King Boris of Bulgaria.
