Children Have New T pe - Sophistication Today, . Writer Points Out.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON ~ Possibly the greatest conflici of parents today is whether to go ¢lcng with the world as far as their ckildren are concerned, or to fight it. Children are worldly wise teday: the things they say and do indicate & wide knowledge of formerly jabooed subjects. Just where. thiey - learn sophistication may be a mystery. to some, but to me it is quite obvious. Movies alone are a literal education. Here are ‘the problems of haarts that won't stay put, justified in raany cases by characterization and 2xample. There are no longer the clearcut lines between the black ¢nd white of wrong and right, There never was; only as long as children thought so, their : ‘standards were easy. to fix. We have ‘also more cases in real life now, of entanglement and unhappiness. - It is nothing nowadaws to hear a neighbor frankly dis:ussing her marital troubles befor: the world, where before she would hive buried it in her heart, and disi almost. before she mentioned it cr allowed it to be mentioned.
Children Do Observe
In short, it is an open age, what with radio, screen and a new cult of frankness everywhere. Eow could children possibly e:cape knowing about human affairs today? This does not necessarily mean that they are contaminated, but merely wise. Now then, up £gainst this situation goes. the mother with her ¢wn ideas of wholesome enlighten nent for her family. She tries to eli her boys and girls that they must pay
rio attention to their eyes and cars. “Irregularity is wicked,” she re-
peats. “Is it?” says Mary to hirself with a mental reservation. “7here was that lovely girl in the show last night who wasn’t wicked. not her fault, and I thoughi she was a dear.” Or, “Is it?” Bob says to hii 15elf. «If I had that sour puss for a ‘wife like Uncle Henry, and she wot ldn’t give me a divorce, I'd take up vith a pleasant girl like Rose an¢ not think I was cheating anybod;.” We can say that growing chiiciren should not think such thought, but you see they ARE thinking ‘hem. Can mothers go on hoping that their children are blind and d:af? A serious situation, yes, but true nevertheless,
Take Adult Approach
: The normal way would be t¢ have * young people grow in knovledge slowly, as judgment and expe‘isnce qualify them to met it. ‘Thus fortifled; and fixed in moral sense tlrey’ would be safer, there is no doudi. It is not so much-a case of what i: Dest, but -of what we can do with 3 situation that exists. If a mother knows very wel thai her children are worldly wise, smart and “nobody’s fool,” it is hcpeless for her to continue to treat thom as infants who have heard not. seen not, and talked not. She must face facts and tase off the blinders. First of all she must not be shocked at their franiness. Otherwise they will put her gown as the infant. And she still his influence, notwithstanding. Sha can show how self-control and unileasant duty are the foundation o’ conflieting forces. And she may drop the word “wicked” if it irks her sophisticates, and. substitute ‘“un-

Pentoxide Is 10:-to 2%: Miles Above Earth.
(Copyright. 1987, Science Servige)
A new and’ ‘hitherto unk av at 3 ic gos, | ‘& -oombina 0 mpeg nitrogen, exists 10 to 25 miles above the earth’s surface, Drs.
Arthur Adel and C, O. Norland | |of the Lowell Observatory, Flagstafl,: | Aris, announced to the American ‘Association for the Advancement. of
Science here today. -It is nitrogen pentoxide; {ts molecule consisting of one atom of nitrogen and five of oxygen. It is probe ably the rarest of gases in the air, present only in the .outer regions
| where the ultraviolet rays .of the
sunlight bring oxygen and nitrogen into combination with the assistance of ozone. Existence of the new gas in the ozone layer of ‘the atmosphere was demonstrated by delicate ‘spectroscopy of the far infra-red region of.
| the spectrum, If the new gas existed
nearer to earth in the air around us, it would be detectable by the most refined chemical and physical methods. ‘Because the nitrogen pentoxide
.| takes out certain portions of the
sunlight ag it comes through’ the atmosphere to earth, its existence could be detected. The situation of Lowell Observatory high on a mountain in a dry atmosphére contributed to the discovery. :
Migraine Headache Due To Excitement, View
(Copyright, 1937, by Science Service)
A person with migraine headache is on a perpetual “emotional drunk,” Dr. Milton B. Jensen, Louisville, Ky., . consulting psyehologist, told the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science here. Simple habits of becoming extremely excited over everything or nothing were blamed by Dr. Jensen for this puzzling and painful type of headache without organic cause, “In his or her emotional sprees, the individual tenses his muscles so that he produces a partial anemia in the brain by reducing the circulation of the blood, The headache results from a stretching of the blood vessels in the brain. »“Sex cannot be blamed for migrain,” Dr, Jensen declared. “Sexual maladjustment bears no casual relationship to the onset, duration, frequency, or severity of ordinary migraine headaches,” he said. Too much excitement in the home during childhood, improper rest and acquired habits of incessant nervous excitation were held responsible. Dr.
. | Jensen cited cases where the head-

Tests Heredity as Factor In Emotional Upsets
(Copyright, 1837, Science Service)
If little Susie is an excitable, emotional child, maybe she does get it from her Jathep--gf mother, Dr. Cal Hall, of Western Reserve A reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here that he
has demonstrated that emotional
instability runs in families by producing a race of emotional or neurotic rats, In a similar way another race of phlegmatic rats was produced by Dr. Hall, The net result was that the Jong of the excitable rat strain proximately seven times more bios Be then the offspring’ of the phlegmatic group. The next step in the experiment will -be to give the young of the excitable group to phlegmatic fostcr parents. This it is hoped will show whether Susie gets her temperament from Daddy by inheritance or from his example. Dr. Hall is not optimistic of the results, however. He fears that the calmest upbringing will not serve to‘tame his family of wild rats.
Holds Sterilization Not Sex Mania Check /
(Copyright, 1937, by Seience Service) Sterilization of sex offenders | would not prevent “them from making sex aitacks and might actually add to their sex deviations and homicidal mania, Dr. Lowell S. Selling, psychopathic elipic director of the Recorder's Court at ‘Detroit, said here today. . Glandular operations on sex offenders have been urged by many lay groups in Detroit and elsewhere, but: Dr. Selling said he has found from medical examination and study of uo sex afonse cases that such an. tion would be useless and also ¢ to society. He reported his preliminary findings to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here. “Sex offenders are not charactera overse > he sais, “Onunctioning of the sex glands was foung te be actually more important’ in contributing to sex offenses than is an overhexed condition..

Movements of the pen. cause waves td ba traced on the paper, Dr, Davis’ experiments have shown the existence of an intermediate stage between wakefulness and true sleep, He calls’ this the “floating stage” because so many of the subjects tested described it as the. period in which they are just drifting off or floating off to sleep. It is the brain waves of this “floating period” that resemble the waves encountered in various types of insanity. Most people when awake exhibit what-is known now as “alpha brain waves.” - These are regular -‘vaves occuring at the rate of ten per second, In the “floating stage” they are replaced by two types of waves. One known as a ‘spindle” because of its shape, occurs at a rate of 14 per second. The other is an irregular wave called the ‘delta wave.”
Different Functions Noted Regarding the mechanism of falling asleep, Dr, Davis said: “Is falling asleep a unitary function or event? Qur observations suggest that it is not. Different functions, such as sensory awareness, memory, self-consciousness, continuity of logical thought, latency of response to a stimulus, and alterations in the pattern of brain potentials all go in parallel in a general way, but there are exceptions to every rule. “Different functions may be depressed in different sequence and to different degrees in different subjects and on different .occasions. Only ' the general progress of ‘depression remains constant.” Regarding the descriptions given by different subjects to their feelings during the “floating stage,” Dr. Davis quoted the expressions of six subjects as follows: “My thoughts wandered or floated unexpectedly.” “These things are practically dreams, but I am awake enough to catch them.” “No dreams or visual fantasies. Mind a blank. Noises no longer neticed.” “Unexpected visual fantasies are m~ end-point,” “Drifting of thoughts. Definite kinesthetic sensation of being suddenly brought upright at the end.” “Pl t sense of numbness, of dizziness, of being nothing at all.” Describing the method of the experiments, Dr. Davis said: “The subject lies down to sleep
.|with a rubber bulb in ene hand,
and is instructed to squeeze it once whenever he feels that he has just drifted off or floated off for a moment and twice if he feels that he has awakened from a real sleep. “The accuracy of the signalling is remarkable, considering how un-
favorable drowsiness is for intro-
spection and signalling.” The gignals of the subject are then compared with the continuous recard of the brain wave machine,

YOUTH TRAINING CUTS ACCIDENTS
Safety Graduate - Blames Elders for Driving Record.
Representative graduates of Washington High School's safety driving’ course today said youth's high accident record was largely a reflection against their elders who fail to train and educate them for safe driving. Their statements followed a report at the American Association for Advancement of Science by the Highway Research Board which said drivers between 19 and 21 cause most accidents. Quinn Herrin, 1521 N, Warman Ave;, junior and graduate safety organiger at the high school, said it is a “reflection against public authorities elsewhere that they have failed to realize that a program of safe driving’ education is as necessary as the three Rs.” “At Washington where the class
| has been in operation for three
years we know of no single case where any graduate during that
| period had been the driver of any
car involved in a fatal or serious, or for that matter any, accident involving personal injury,” he said. Young Drivers Blamed A survey of 300 accidents in the
| City made by Lieut. Lawrence Mic-
Carty, Accident Prevention Bureau head, Mr. Herrin and Ray Jones, 1480 W. 33d St., school safety course graduate, shawed that drivers between 16 and 20 were involved in 45 of the total. Drivers between 21 and 25 topped other classes with 56. “Washington's record in ifself is a demonstration of the responsibillity of the older men in the problem of safe driving instruction for those who are accused of causing the worst vehicle slaughters,” Mr. Jones said. Miss Frances Moder, Washington { High School safety director andi originator of safe driving instruction there three years ago, said she pea 4 Nish orinion of youths rep er as drivers. Benefit Cited

likely to continue at the same level.
In fact, in an uncon-

the level despite handicaps, the workers are inclined to overshoot the mark and do
even better {han usual. Does work done in noisy surroundings or ir, excessive heat and humidity take its toll of human energy? Do incentives of all sorts commonly employed 40 increase effort and thereby to increase efficiency really increase efficiency, or are they more costly when efficiency is properly computed? These are quitions that psychologists recognize but .are not yet ready to answer, Dr. Poffenberger indicated. Fach person recognizes his own level, he said. “One thinks 5 himself as just so good.

Tomato plaiais as high as 80 per cent resistant to Fusarium wilt have been developed in Texas, the American Associaticn. for the Advance ment of Scierce was told today.
Marion Couniy canning growers, Horace Abholt, Agricultural Agent said, and has caused “serious losses to them within the last few years.” There are ap)noximately 3000 acres yearly in the county planted in canning tomatoes by approximately 800 farmers. Dr. P. A.

‘Intersex’ Common Among Insects, Doctor Claims
When a woman turns into a man, and thereby becomes front-page news, it is. pretty safe to assume that she never entirely was a wome an, Dr. Richard Goldschmidt, University of Califernia, re today. More probably she was an “inter-. sex”’—a being neither female nor male, but in process of transition from the one to the other from the earliest pre-birth stage of development onward, he said. The denouement, when ¢‘she” is declared legally a “he,” is only the last step in a long progess. Intersexes gre by no means rare throughout the whole animal kingdom, he declared. They are found in all gradations between completely male and completely female. Dr. Goldschmidt confined his discussion mostly to examples taken from among the insects, An intersex individual begins development normally enough, as either all ‘male or all female. But there comes a physiological turning point, where -bhiechemical er genetic forces tending toward eppesite sexuality begin to eperate, he explained. The later~deve g Sex organs may then become those of the individual’s natural opposite. Two t; of influence may give rise to x development, Dr. Goldschmidt SEplained. Hereditary influences, resident’ in or on the chromosemes within the cells, may start and carry. through the process; or female may be turned into male (or viee versa) by the natural or artificial injection of eppositeset hormone or gland seeretion, he Sa. . 1
