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- i AG BE AROMAS D 0 T UPV/D 0 U-SES",,PE R E * Answers to Last Week Puzzle L N A R L N T S A B P R H I T D SATIRE L 0 R E S I)SE �4 P E Y{'/R ES T 0 P P R LEA T EL IED N 0 AS- C E E S S S 3 E N S ?r A Is � Lik 0 IN or/ E 0 E N A L T 0 0 T.

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 WHAT iT MEANS TO LOSE 28 lbs. Reduced Bust 8 ins., Waist 5 ins., Hips 4 ins. 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: Before After Weight 168 lbs. Weight 140 Ibs. bust .... 42 ins.

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 like ordinary aperients, Krnschen does not confine its action to a single part pi the system. Its tonic effect extends to ?i dry organ, gland and vein. in the presence of the varying degre of emotion the body's resistan causes the delicately poised needle the galvanometer to oscillate and give an index of the amount of tb resistance, Adults tested were able to muster an excitement only equal in galvano- metric language to "1.2, Adolescents registered 2.0, while the youngest group, including children from 6 to 11, registered a figure of 3.6, or three times as much exeitement as adults. Effects on Sleep' 5S/ ee t0 tb at The writers of the Payne reports a not averse to occasional moments excitement for children, but they b lieve that such frequent orgies as large proportion of America's childre appear to be having through th movies amount in the words of D Frederick Peterson, . neurologis quoted in the survey, "to emotion debauch." "Stimulation," he say "when often repeated is cuinulativ Scenes causing terror and fright a sowing the seeds in the system f future nervous disorders." 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." Effects On Character re of e- a n. r. t; al s, e. az or s t. r s p- 0 n d 0 r n 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.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL CHEW BEST/ 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.
