The Human Brain Like a Radio Station

•y Herman N. Bundtsen, M. D. » FEW of u» realise It. but we all have our own private radio broad- j casting stations The brain -ata t lion TOl’~-la constantly sending ti out waves of electrical energy in h very much the same way that a a broadcasting station transmits v ■ sound waves Just as your radio set at home d can pick up broadcasts, so we now n have an Instrument, called the t electroencephalograph, which can a record the waves from the human n brain and mage a tracing of them r This has been found extremely a helpful In establishing the correct s diagnosis of certain mental and t nervous disturbances Os course. It requires expert knowledge to in- a terpret these tracings after they t hart- been mad* I In making the tracing, the pa- i tlent either Iles or sits relaxed, i -with the eyes closed Drowsiness t must be avoided since sleep pro- c duces changes in the waves whi< h c may be difficult to distinguish a * from those produced by abnormal t conditions I The patient should breathe c briskly and deeply for about three I minutes, slpce this will help to k bring out any abnormalities in the n brain waves.

Senator Taft will get his answer from his own people and that should show where Stassen 1 rates in the Buckeye state. l J Cornelia Otis Skinner, the actress and author, says that in order to protect the nation against the “virus of prejudice.” children 1 should be inoculated against it at an early age. Love and understanding, she suggests, are to be >1 used to guard the mind against 'intolerance. Children are born i without prejudice. They are aware ' of a difference in the appearance of light skins and dark skins, but they attach no importance to it. They know nothing of prejudice until thoughts of it are planted in their minds by others around them. Q © First 100 Years: The doubtful benefit, of a life of j 15u years or more is likely to be conferred upon man by modern science, according to Dr. A. C. Ivy. physiologist at the University of Illinois. Longevity is at present increasing. owing in part to increased medical knowledge ami in part to more hygienic living habit* Psychological factors also enter into ' the picture freedom from worry ' being considered important by thei exports. It is not hard worn that ’ shortens life so much as fussing ' about it. Ambition for achievement is a help toward keeping young, and early retirement lead- ; ing to idleness is definitely an I aging factor. The hereditary in- • fluence is strong. Iftit may be overcome by proper living conditions . and the right frame of mind i Many changes would have to be ■ made, however, in the present social structure if a life span of 15“ years became common The population would soon begin to seem top-heavy, and the young would grow discouraged waiting for top executive positions to be 1 vacated The world would have to I grow itetter in many ways before , most men end women would care ’ to stay around for 15u years. m "When your town and home are clean . . . Your health is good, your mind serene."

It has also been noted that the parents or near relative* of epileptics frequently have abnormal hrain waves For this reason it has been suggested that patients with such abnormal brain waves may well avoid having children Attacks of epilepsy may also l>e differentiated from hysteria by means of the brain waves. In hysteria. a condition in which there Is a variety of symptoms caused by mental strain, abnormal waves do not occur. In narcolepsy, however, a condition In which the patient suffers from excessive sleepiness, the brain waves are abnormal Now and then migraine headaches may be due to changes in the brain which can he detected by electrical tracing of the hrain waves. It Is also possible to determine. In some cases. Just where a tumor growth in the brain is located by means of the electroencephalograph f'hanr i in personality may follow b>.-ii inflammation. and in chorea or 8t Vitins Dance disturbances of the electrical waves from the brain occur. Klectm-en< ephalography may also be helpful in making such diagnoses. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS A J Which Is the most satisfactory treatment of varicose reins operation or injection? A.

UNDERPAID TEACHERS will envy Mrs. Betty Wilkes, 20-year-oid pupil-less teacher at Spurzem school near Loretto, Minn, who "works" hardly five minutes a day and is paid 3183 a month. (txx>k, there she is. working') The school lost its last two pupils In October, but Mrs. Wilkes' contract holds, and by keeping the school open the school board avoids liability for transporting pupils to another district and paying tuition. The law only requires Mrs. Wilkes to unlock and lock the door each school day. Note the "orange crate" seats in the foreground. (Internationa! Soundphoto)

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN NO ONE CAME that day or the ' lext or the next. Tracy's friends, ler audience, had come out of curiosity and sympathy, then suddenly they ceased to coms. The phone became silent, too. Everyone had called, everyone had sent flowers. Everyone had said, "How perfectly dreadful! You must be brave, darling!" Day after day Kit saw Tracy’s restless eyes search the road for ths sight of a car to see only emptiness. Tracy sat thinking her friends had many more amusing places to go, many more amusing pet pie to see. There were trains to the far north and trains to the ranches out west. There were house parties and yachting parties. There were new people in the spotlight and in the news. Poor Tracy,” Kit could hear them say. "She’ll never get over it, you know. Os course, after a bit she’ll be able to do most of the things she’s always done but I’m afraid she’ll never be quite as amusing or entertain as much. She’ll have to be careful of herself and it’s likely to do things to her personality. Too bad. She was really awfully amusing and so rich, you know, and her parties were grand." Poor Tracy Field isolated In her beautiful white house in the country. Tracy, rich and alive and being quickly forgotten by the scores of people who had praised her to be tn her favor. Kit felt her own back stiffen, felt, too, an overwhelming sympathy for Tracy who would abominate sympathy. Tracy walked about the house and garden as if she were in a cage. She slept badly. Tracy Field who had everything suddenly had nothing. Kirk still came though not as frequently as he had in the past. To Kit it seemed that be selected the time to come when she was either in her room or in New York on errands. For when she returned from New York, Tracy always said, her face more animated, her eyes quieter, that Kir* had been there. Once she said, “He’s working hard on the survey to get It finished tai time," and Kit was painfully reminded again of the scene by the stream when she had 1 acted badly. Sometimes Tony said, "Kirk was over and we played some tennis. A good stiff game." One day late in the afternoon Kit found Tracy alone in the gar- - den. "Looking for me? I haven’t run • away Sit down." Tracy took a , deep breath. Ivo—T ve got to get

something to da Thia idleness is driving me crazy. Do you think 1 could learn how to knit? The sweater I make with my own little hands should be exhibited.” She looked st Kit almost apologetically. "You think I'm horrible. don’t you?" Kit said carefully, ’There are so many people less fortunate than you. And Dr. Tenhagen said the other day that tn a short time you'll be able to do almost all of the things you used to do." "Sweet of him, wasn’t it?" Kit said, “I'll go into New Ydrk tomorrow and get some knitting things—" "Get some for youruelf, too. But a race to the finish wouldn't be quite fair, you know. I'm only a beginner." Kit smiled. T came out to teU you that I was talking to Mac this morning She said she wondered if you'd like to see her granddaughter." , "Granddaughter!” Tracy laughed. . T didn't know Mac bad any children . . ! "She has a son and daughter. The son is studying to be a doctor . and her daughter is married and ! has a baby seven months old. She's very proud of ber first grandchild "Mae with children and grandchildren. If I ever knew of them, j I'd forgotten. She never talked I about them." Kit said. "I don’t suppose It does occur to people that their servants have private lives .. Tracy laughed again. "Modest ' Mac! A grandmother! She talks ' to you but not to me! Why, of course, tel! her to bring the baby out I'll send Cecil in for them. I haven’t seen a baby since . . . Well, I can’t remember the last > time.

May J.—<UP> Three states put on this weeks big political shows starring Sen Robert A Taft. Harold E. Stassen and Preaident Truman Taft and Stassen are opposed in Ohio's angry Republican presidential preference primary In Alabama's Democratic (primary Mr. i Truman seems to be opposed by just about everybody taking part In Florida's liemocratic primary Mr Truman has a lot of opposition but not quite so much as In Alabama. The three primaries take place tomorrow. For Alabama's 26 seats In the Democratic national convention there are M candidates. Os these. 28 have stated publicly they will bolt the convention if the candidate and platform ate not satisfactory: 35 have said they would not walk out of the convention and 21 ' are uncommitted. Twenty four candidates for the convention have announced they favored nomination of Gen Dwight D. Elsenhower for president. Alabama also will choose tomorrow the 11 persons who will cast the states votes in the electoral college. Nine of the candidates for elector have announced for Eisenhower. All candidates for delegate to the convention or for elector j are against Mr Truman. A dispatch from Birmingham states that the contest in Alabama has lieen to determine “who is against him the mostest." Ohio's primary is the year's hottest. Stassen bucked the unwritten rules when he invaded the home state of favorite son candidate Taft Taft has entered a full i slate of 50 delegate candidates, i Stassen entered 22 in 11 congres slonal districts and one delegate at large for a total of 23 He claims he will win a majority 12 or more — of the Ohio contests, if so Taft's prestige will be desperately damaged Stassen will gain accordingly but every advance he has made since his primary successes in Wisconsin. Nebraska and Pennsylvania has added to presure for a well organized stop-Stassen movement.

Kit. Let's go some place where we can talk.” They went to a quiet loungx "Sorry to keep you in suspense so long," be said. ’’But first, bow is Tracy coming?" "Physically, she's doing well. Mentally she . . ." He nodded. "That’s to be expected at first.” "People have stopped coming up to see her.” “That’s to be expected, too." "It isn’t nice to see. Mike.” He looked at her. “It’s swell of you to talk about Tracy with this other thing on your mind." 'Tracy is present, the other past. But what . . .• Mike's brown eyes softened. "I've missed you. In thinking about you yo aren’t as lovely as you really ere. It Isn’t usually like that." He took her hand and held it tightly. "Kit. I’ve got the cat-ate-the-canary look. 1 know IL It's sticking out all over me. Why the pressed trousers, the shined shoes, the well-scrubbed look? Where's the old Mike In his cups most of the time? I burled him. You are now beholding a young man who has sold a short story. I scored! Five hundred imackers for a short story! My God, I even have a bank account!" "That'w wonderful, Mike!" "Na You’re wonderful. You're an unselfish female and that's something to write home about—if you have a home. Y-'u’re aching to know what I dug up on your father’s case . . ." "Yes. Mike, I am. I want terribly to know " She held her breath. "Well. I mailed the >ld newspaper clippings to you—out to Tracy’a I mailed them today. I knew you'd want to look them over carefully and you eouldn t very wen in a public place. I thought maybe you had a wrong slant and that your father badn t gone to prison after all , . ." "But he did " "Yea. he did. He served his time. But the newspapers C n't tell the full story. 1 got that today from the man who was your father's attorney, a man named John Bennett. He lives here in New York. Kit, except for teat one mistake your father made, you don’t have to be ashamed of him. I'm not covering up to try tn make you feel better. You can see John Bennett yourself. He's quite an old man now and doeant practice any more. He said be d always W<xj4ered wfiat bappene: UtUe girt."
