chase of their gowns?
3. Is it proper to thank a wait-
ress every time she serves one a

A distraught woman rushed
into the clerk's office. In her
hand she bore a license. To the
clerk she said:
"Did you, or did you not, issue
this license for marrying me to
Albert Briggs?"
"Yes, I believe I did. Why?"
"Well, what are you going to
do about it? He's escaped."
"I wish you would shave
that moustache off, Henry,"
said his wife. "You look like
Hitler."
"Don't worry, dear," lse
murmured meekly. "The
emighbors know us - they
know I'm no dictator."
The blacksmith's sweetheart
entered the forge• just as he
paused to wipe the perspiration
from his face.
"Shall we go to the pictures to-
night, Jake?"
"Nay, lass," he replied. "I'm
playing checkers at the club."
She stamped her foot.
"I'm. tired of you and your
silly old checkersl"
"Come, cone," pleaded the
blacksmith, picking up the heavy
hammer, "a man must get some
exercise sometimes."
One trouble with many white
folks is that they haven't devel-
oped s working philosophy like
that of the fat negro cook down
in Houston, Texas.
She was asked what was the
secret of her _calmness and free-
dom from care. Her reply was
thorough and complete:
"Well, h'its dismay. When I
sits I sits loose. .An' when Ah
stah'te to worry I falls asleep."
Hiker: "Did you have much
rain?"
Farmer Giles: "Yes, hut
my neighbor had more."
Hiller: "How could he have
more?"
Farmer Giles: "He has
more land."

Does it rain clams in Yuma,
Arizona?
Skeptics can take for proof the
story of an eleven -year-old Yuma
boy who says a clam struck hirci
on the shoulder in a rainstorm.
He said he was hurrying home
to get out of the rain when some-
thing hit him. He looked de wn
and there was the clam.
The nearest natural habitat of
clams to this desert town is the
Gulf of California, fifty miles.

A new method of measuring
the speed of plant growth that
niay provide a major advance in
American agricultural research
has been developed by a German
refugee physicist in tie U.S.
The technique involves a new
use for an instrument known as
an "interferometer" . which em-
ploys light rays to measure dim-
ensional changes so light as to
escape detection under a micro-

WHITE CELLS AND

A relationship between the
number of white blood cells in
the blood and length of life has
been observed in rats in a study
made by Dr. Carl Reich, of the
Lenox Hill Hospital, and Dr. W.
F. Dunning, of Columbia Univer-
sity. They found that a high
white blood -cell count was found
in rats having the longest normal
Me spans, and the lowest counts
in the animals with the shortest
span s.
l0;RA1N-WAVE PATTERNS
The passive, dependent type of
person has a brain -wave pattern
in which alpha waves predomin-
ate, while the active, independent
person has a pattern in which
these waves usually are absent,
Dr. Pauline A. Davis, of the Har-
vard Medical School, informed the
American Psychiatric Association
at its convention in Richmond,
Va. The alpha brain wave is the
largest and lowest - frequency
wave occurring in the normal
brain -wave patterns. It has a
frequency of about ten a second.
The other common type of wave,
the beta, has a frequency of from
thirty-five to fifty a second.

Acute Hearing
Assists Blind
The So -Called "Sixth Sense"
of Sightless People Has Been
Discovered to Be Highly -
Trained Sense of Hearing
Cornell psychologists announc-
ed last week 'that solution to the
age-old mystery of what consti-
tutes the so-called sixth sense in
the blind which enables them to
avoid obstacles.
The discovery eliminates occult-
ism, mysticism, and far fetched
theories of a special "power," and
demonstrates that the blind avoid
obstacles through the sense of
hearing.
It is believed that the discov-
ery will not only bring hope and
confidence to the newly -blind but
also will provide techniques for
those blind for many years which
will enable then to obtain the
freedom of movement now denied
them. The Cornell findings have
implications also for persons mov-
ing about during blackouts which
already have resulted in many ac-
cidents in England. As a result
of the new conclusions those
blinded by accidents, or by war,
need not resign themselves to
utter dependence upon their
sighted neighbors.
In a series of carefully con-
trolled experiments consisting of
over 1,500 trials the three psych-
ologists used four subjects, two
totally blind and two with normal
vision. The latter believed be-
forehand that they would be in-
capable of perceiving the presence
of objects without vision.
But, from the very outset, these
subjects, who were now comlalet '
ly blindfolded, were able to dete
the presence of an artificial wa
which was placed in their pals
but not nearly as soon as till
blind subjects.
In this series of 400 trials, with
shoes on and also with shoes aft,
every one of the subjects ran inE
the wall without once detecting
its presence.
