(EMOTIONS OF JAPS

AND CHINESE DIFFER

By ‘Science Service BERKELEY, - Cal., Aug. 16.—Japs and Chinese may have a similar

_{appearance, but scientists find them

different emotionally. Both are unlike ‘* Caucasians, which includes most Americans, but the Japanese rea’ "ions are more sharply in contrast with our own. Dr. G., M. Stratton, professor of

psychology, emeritus, and Dr. F. M.

Henry, assistant professor of physical education, at the University of California here, reached these conclusions ‘by tests on 150 students equally ‘divided between the three races. . Dropping a huge black object pnear the outstretched hand of the subjects, the scientists measured reactions through change in pulse rate, involuntary movement of the hand, electrical resistance of the skin and rate of breathing. The scientists believe that the involuntary impulse to avoid a painful blow has a biological origin unrelated ‘to cultural and environment

. |factors. Taking these tests in con-

nection with ‘other ' scientific investigations indicates there is something besides : cultural differences between the Caucasians and the Orientals, Dr. Stratton said.

Treatment for Paralysis - - Lessens Pain, Deformities

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS x Times Special Writer | Infantile paralysis has its greatest incidence during the summer and early autumn seasons. Despite the fact that those who have the

disease without paralysis and frequently without recognizing it far outnumber the relatively few who, develop paralysis, the appearance of

infantile paralysis in a community is the cause of great apprehension *

on the part of the parents, Thus fear is justified, because those few who develop residual paralysis are 80 severely handicapped. The best opinion now maintains acess ) that the virus responsible for infantile paralt ysis is taken in through the digestive tract with food and water. The dis ease begins with a fever that rarely lasts more than two days, and may reach 102 or

ad Dr. Masters

103 degrees. This fever is associated with symptoms suggesting

a “cold,” with nasal obstruction and discharge and a cough, or there may be diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The child may be alternately restless and lethargic, and is usually irritable if disturbed, . There is no typical or diagnostic finding at this stage, although flexing the neck forward may induce some resistance. The disease may terminate at this stage. In_ any event, there is a cessation of symptoms for a brief period. ° Those who develop paralysis then become sick again, develop

. headache, and on the second or

third day, the paralysis appears. The conventional concept of infantile paralysis is that the infection damages or destroys certain

nerve cells, especially in the spinal

cord, but also throughout the central nervous system, thereby ine terrupting: the nerve supply to the muscles, with paralysis resulting. The usual treatment based on this concept provides complete rest. The weak muscles are prevented from stretching, and the uninvolved muscles are protected

against contracture by the appli-

cation of splints. When indicated, hea} is applied in various ways. Later, when all tenderness: has passed, heat and massage are given, and movements. are made

‘by the patient in a pattern de-

signed to stretch shortened muscles and strengthen the weak muscles. When possible, exercises are done under water to overcome the effect of gravity. Finally, cer~ tain deformities may be corrected by surgery, or braces may be used to support paralyzed muscles, For the past year, the treatment developed by Sister Kenny has been widely and justly publicized. The Kenny treatment is

based on the theory that inflam-

mation of the muscles causes the

your troubles for next year. As crops are harvested now, gardeners are. inclined to let that area grow up in weeds, You can plant spinach and radishes this week.

muscle spasm, and’ that this late ter is. the dominant factor. The muscle spasm ds treated by the frequent application of hot woolen Racks which. are applied for 12 hours a day. The muscles are gently moved by the attendant at least once a day. The patient is taught the course and insertion of muscles and make a conscious effort to move each group independently of the others. No splints are employed, but the whole pa-:
