Scientific answers are now offered.
to the questions of how movie "thrill-
ers" really affect • children. Children
in general are excited for more than
adults by what they see, even eight
,times as much, in some cases; the
Meas and action presented are large
factors in shaping habits and judged
by numbers, the younger members of
the population make up a dispropor-
tionately large share of motion pic-
ture audiences.
I Such are some of the findings in
four years of study -by prominent ex-
perts on child welfare, made under the
'auspices of the U.S. Motion Picture
Research Council.
The Weekly Attendance
The number of children attending
was reached by the sampling process,
by questioning 35,941 boys and girls
between the ages of 8 and 19. Each
girl, it appeared, attended on the aver-
age forty-six times a year, and each
boy fifty-seven times. The 5 and 8
year olds were found to attend twenty-
two times a year. By still another
check it was estimated that the coun-
try's youngsters between 5 and 20, con
ptituting 31.5 per cent. of the popula-
tion, made up 37 per cent. of the mo-

Perhaps the most striking revelation
in 'the study is the great contrast be-
tween the effect of "thrillers" on child-
ren's emotions as compared with
ad-ults. A "psychogalvanometer" was
taken to the movies by two scientists,
Dr. Christian A. Ruckmick, Professor
of Psychology in the University of
Iowa, and his assistant Dr. Wendell S.
Dysinger.
Measuring Emotions
"The human body," explains Henry
James Forman, writer of the popular
presentation of these studies, de-
scribing the experiment, "is known to
offer resistance to certain small elec-
trical currents. The degree of this re-
sistance, owing to changes in the
chemistry of the body, is raised or
lowered under stress of various emo-
tions. The electrical currents used
are so faint they cannot be felt, but

GAINED NEW ENERGY
The improvement in this woman's
figure, after she had lost 28 lbs. of un-
wanted fat, can easily be imagined
from the comparative measurements
which she gives below. Note also the
other effects of the treatment she
used. Her method is evidently a good
one to follow.
"I am 24 years of age; height 5 ft.
6% in.; and a short time ago my
;weight was 28 lbs. above normal. I was
listless and without Energy. Now, af-
ter taking Kruschen Salts regularly I
have lost 28 lbs. in weight, and have
lucb more vitality. AIso I have a
very good complexion, and I do not
'ave face blemishes of any kind. Sure-
iy this must be due to my having pure
blood, and I attribute the fact to my
taking Kruscben Salts. I give my
measurements below:

this for four months, and lost 28 lbs.
I honestly think it would not have
been possible without the aid of Krus-
chen Salts, because as my weight is
now normal for my height and age,
I,am able to keep it without dieting,
just by continuing with the Kruscben
Salts alone."—(Miss) M. S.
Krusciaeii combats the cause of fat
by assisting the internal organs to per-
form their functions properly—to
throw off each day those waste pro-
ducts and poisons which, if allowed to
accumulate, would be converted by the
body's chemistry into fatty tissue. Una

The intensity of the effect wa
measured in yet another way by char
ing the restlessness of children afte
attendance at the movies. This wa
done by three investigators by equi
ping beds with special apparatus t
register the movements of childre
during their sleep. One hundre.. an
seventy girls and boys of from 6 t
18 had their sleep records taken fo
347 nights, both when they had bee
to movies and when they had not.
"Boys," says Mr. Forman, summing
up the results, 'after seeing a movie
showed an average increase (in rest-
lessness) of about 26 per cent., and
girls about 14 per cent." In ndividual
cases, he adds, the restlessness in-
creased as much as 50,' 75 and even 90
per cent. And for as long as four and
five nights afterward the restlessness
continued to be above normal.
Need For a Reminder
The presence of an adult to reassure
the child makes the effect less serious,
it appears. The investigators used
the phrase, "adult discount," to des-
cribe the aid given by the occasional
reminder that, after all, "it is only a
picture." It has, they report, a salu-
tary effect in lessening the shock of
horrifying pictures. And it is import-
ant during the picture rather than af-
ter, according to this judgment, as
merely a happy ending is not enough.
How much do children remember
of what they see? Not much, is the
common assumption. Dr. P. W. Hole -
day of the University. of Iowa sought
an exact answer.
"The very youngest children," Mr.
Forman reports "carry away at least
52 per cent. of what their parents
would carry away from any given pic-
ture, and the average for all children
studied by Drs. Holaday and:Stoddard
is 70 per cent. retention, which is a
very large percentage. Curiously, too,
this percentage of retention seems to
grow with time, and after the lapse of
a month many children actually re-
member more than the day after see-
ing the picture.
Stoddard and Holaday's guess is
"that pictures play a considerably
larger pait in the child's imagination
than do books."

Children who are most frequent
mbviegoers wore also tested by Pro-
fessors May and Shuttleworth.
"We have found," they reported,
"that the movie children average low-
er deportment records, do on the aver-
age poorer work in their school sub-
jects, are rated lower in reputation
by their teachers on two rating forms,
are rated lower by their classmates on
the Guess Who Test, are less co-opera-
tive and less self-controlled as mea-
sured both by ratings and conduct
tests, are slightly more deceptive in
school situations, slightly less skillful
in judging what is the most useful and
helpful and sensible thing to do, and
are somewhat less emotionally stable.
"Against this long record of disad-
vantages the movie children are
superior in two measures they are
mentioned oftener than the others in
the Guess Who test and are named
more frequently as 'best friends' by
their classmates. Tests showing no
differences by this technique include
honesty ratings and honesty as mea-
sured in and out of school situations,.
persistence, suggestibility and moral
knowledge."
To Make Final Attempt
To Salvage `Egypt's' Gold
Brest, France. — The Italian sal-
vage ship Artiglio has, sailed for a
final attempt to raise approximately
$1,500,C00 in gold still in the strong-
room of the sunken P, and O. liner
Egypt, lying 70 fathoms deep off
Point de Raz.
In four previous summers of work,
the Italian divers recovered $3,-
500,000
3;500,000 of the total cargo of $5,000,-
000 ingold and silver which the
liner carried from London on her
last voyage, May 19, 1922. The
Egypt sank in 20 minutes atter be-
ing rammed in a fog by the French
freighter Seine. Of the 44 passen-
gers and 291 crew, 97 lives were
lost,
After finishing with the .Egypt, the
Artiglio probably will be engaged
by the Egyptian Government to seek
gold and other treasures from Na-
poleon's ships, which were sunk by
Lord Nelson off Aboukir Bay In
1798.

prit and said: "May I kelp, sir?"

The Spotlight

That clouds may hide its light;
The stars never stop to wonder
If they're on view to -night;
The river flows, and the green grass
grows,
And it's nothing to them if nobody
knows.
But a ; :an must have admiring eyes
Fixed on him when he labors,
He works less for the joy of work
Than to impress his neighbors.
But he'd have more fun, and get more
done,
If he'd emulate the stars and sun.

Trousers for women is the latest
fad! It has advantages! All the mar-

pants suits. The happiest bride isn't
always the one who gets the best hus-
band, but the one that makes the best
of the boy she got. The wise acre is
the one that gets itself divided into
building lots. If you sell what you
produce here at home, why not do all
your buying at home, too? Experience
is a dear teacher, and it's the woman
who pay. If a girl's face is her for-
tune there's billions in a drug store.

Famous Rocking Stone
Colonel Sir Courtenay Vyvyan of
Trelowarren, Cornwall, has present-
ed to . the nation, through the
National Trust, one of the most
fascinating and fantastic properties
on the wild and rocky coast to the
west of Mounts Bay, Cornwall. In-
cluded in the gift is the mass of gran-
ite known as the Logan or Rocking
Stone. Sirf Courtenay Vyvyan has
made it certain that the right of ac-
cess to the public and to the owners
of ,adjoining land will be preserved
for all time, and that no buildings
shall ever be erected there, other
than the little watch house which
already stands there.
This property has been for eight
centuries in the undisturbed posses-
sion of the Vyvyan family, as own-
ers of the manor of Trevidren. It
consists of about 35 acres of rough
cliff land. Treen Castle is a very fine
example of the fortified headlands
which were known as castles. Ibis a
pe of three different groups of
rocks, and seems to have been a sanc-
tuary or fortress of the ancient in-
habitants of the country.
In the middle group of rocks on
the west side of Treen Castle is the
Logan Rock. This is the famous
stone which, though it weighs 65
tons, can be moved and rocked by a
child. But once on a time the mighty
fell, and the story of that fall will
never be forgotten. William Borlase,
the mid -eighteenth century chronicler
of Cornwall, wrote that the stone
was "so evenly pointed that any hand
may move it to and fro but . . . it is
morally impossible that any lever, or
indeed any force (however applyed
in a mechanical way) can remove it
from its present situation." Years
after, in 1824, this challenge was ac-
cepted by a certain Lieutenant Gold-
smith, R.N., a nephew of Oliver -Gold-
smith, commanding 'a revenue cutter
in these waters. With the help of a
boat's crew, he managed to roll the
stone off its base. It cost him £2,000
to have it replaced, with the aid of
elaborate machinery made expressly
for the purpose.
There are other rocking stones in
Cornwall and in Wales, but none pos-
sessing the interest or dimensions of
the Logan. Pliny tells of one at Har -
