Will early adoption raise a child’s “I.Q”?
Answer: Definitely, report Drs.
Marie Skodak and Harold M. Skeels
In the Journal of Genetic Psycholo
gy. An exhaustive mental test of
100 adopted children showed that
‘The intellectual level of the chil-
en has remained consistently
aer than would have been pre-
icted from the intellectual, educa-
ional or socio-economic level of
the true parents,’' and equal or su
perior to that of “own children” of
the families by which they were
adopted. A normally healthy child
whom you adopt will be as “bright"
as one of your own would be.
B.
(Can yen worry too much over
war news?
Answer: Not if you mean trying
to find out what you can do to serve
your country. But just making your
self miserable thinking about world
conditions is of no use to you or to
anyone else. It is perhaps “natural”
to feel as if you were somehow re
sponsible for the world crisis and
should have to suffer for it, but the
feeling is unrealistic and neurotic.
In fact, such self-punishment may
even be made an unconscious sub
stitute for useful action. Once
you’ve seep your duty and have
done it, the less you can think
about the war, the better.
One of the finest and most modern
dairy barns in the United States, us
ing the newest building materials
and developments to safeguard
against fire, was completed re
cently on the Wood Ford Farm at
Avon, Conn.
Forty feet wide and 267 feet long,
the barn houses 100 milking cows.
It includes also a large feed room,
box stalls, an office, a room for
employees, and a well-equipped
milk room.
Fire destroyed the old dairy bam
last summer. None of the farm’s
famous ayrshire herd was harmed
because it had been put out to night
pasture.

history?
Answer: Yes, eventually, main

his contribution to a volume on
“Psychoanalysis and the Social
Sciences.” While the task is an
enormous qfie and methods of in
vestigation will need to be greatly
improved, psychoanalytic under
standing of the motives that spur
men to action will throw new light
on events whose cause and meaning
have otherwise been obscure. To
take one recent example, it might
well be said that only a psychoana

Everybody Needs Table Salt Daily
By Dr. James W. Barton
• ' r
.
S INCE IT IS KNOWN that all
liquids—water, milk, tea, cof
fee, soft and hard drinks—definitely
aintain overweight, because fat
tissue holds water, most over
weights now take less fluid or
liquid daily. In addition, as table
salt holds 70 times its own weight
of liquids in the tissues, many over
weights are cutting down on their
table salt in and on foods, or are
using salt substitutes
Besides overweight, there are
diseases in which liquids and
salt must be reduced, because
much liquid in the tissues

|M epilepsy and Meniere’s disease.
In high blood pressure most phy
sicians advise reduction of liquids
and table salt.
Beth liquids and table salt are
needed foods; everybody requires
a certain amount of them every
day. However, because too, much of
maintains overweight and
the attacks. mentioned
; there are many who do not
have these diseases, who are not
getting enough liquids and table
salt And just as too much causes
symptoms, so also does not enough
cause symptoms.
In The Journal of the American
Medical Association, Dr. Henry A.
Schroeder (Washington university),
states that lack of table salt makes
the kidneys unable to do their work
properly. This causes various
symptoms—symptoms that are
often not recognized as being caused
by inadequate functioning of the
kidneys. This inability of the kid
neys means less volume of urine
to remove body wastes, rapid gain
in weight, and sometimes an in
crease in the heart rate.
The symptoms complained of are:
1. drowsiness,weakness and lethar
gy (often wrongfully attributed to
quieting or pain-killing drugs); 2.
loss of appetite, sometintes with
thirst; 3. nausea and sometimes
vomiting; 4. occasionally abdomin
al and muscular cramps, and 5.
an increase in oedema (swelling
with fluid) where oedema is al
ready present.
Treatment is more salt and injec
tion of salt in veins. •

One of the most modern dairy

completed recently (above) aft
the Wood Farm, Avon, Conn. It

compose the prize ayrshire

ing record.
block walls were filled with vermic-
ulite. The roof has asbestos shin
gles laid on asphalt felt to make the
barn almost 100 per cent fire safe.
The barn features an effective
ventilating system, which brings
air through intakes at the peak of
the roof. Stale air is picked up by
thermostatically controlled fana
from a point near the floor.
The Wood Ford Farm herd has
been the highest producing ayrshire
herd in the United States for the
past six years.
New Burley Strains Are
Almost Free of Wildfire
New strains of hurley tobacco that
are almost immune to wildfire, one
of the most destructive diseases of
the crop, have been created by tm
agriculture department plant scien
tist.
The strains also have a lower
nicotine content. This, too, is a
major advance, because nicotine in
present day hurley—used principal
ly in blended cigarettes—is higher
than is desired. V
A third point about the new
plants is that they seem to be a
little more vigorous in growth than
other lines.
But it will be two or three years
before growers have these plants,
because they must be improved and
selected for local conditions before
they are released. -.
The man who originated the hew
strains is Dc. E. E. Clayton. He de
veloped the wildfire resistance in
the new lines from a wild species.
The new line was developed after
a systematic study of several hun
dred wild species during the last 15
years.
Protect Bags
To keep empty; feed sacks
from being damaged by mice or
rats, take a piece of iron pipe
slightly longer than the width of
the sacks and saspend it from
the ceiling with two lengths of
wire. Mice and rats are unable
to get down the wire to the
sacks. The average farmer will
save considerable money in a
period of a year by following
such ? practice.

Unscheduled Stops
T HE LIFE of the Master himself,
to judge from what we read in
the Gospels, was a long series of in-
. .. x 4
terruptions. The tenth chapter of
Mark is a good example. Jesus him
self at this time had one great thing
in mind: the Cross. He was going
up to Jerusalem not to talk to beg
gars or to listen to lawyers’ argu
ments or to hold interviews with
puzzled young people. He was going
to die. x 1
- A man on his death-road
might be spared Interruptions.
He could not be blamed if he
said to Interrupters one and
all:. “Sorry, I can't be bothered.
See my assistants If there Is
anything yon want done.”
But Jesus did not say anything of
the kind. He did not fume over the
unscheduled stops on his life’s high
way. He took time to clear up mis
understandings; he took time for
little children when even his best
friends thought he ought not to be
disturbed; he took time to answer
the question of die rich young man;
he did not brush off James and
John when they came to him with
their ill-considered petition; he even
took time to take care of a beggar’s
need.
Ministries by the Wayside
I ESUS DID not always take the
initiative in every situation, though
Indeed hq, controlled eyery situa
tion. When the Pharisees asked
him about marriage he did not
say, “Let’s not talk about mar
riage; let me suggest the topic of
salvation instead.” When the young
man ran up to him, Jesus did not
ask: “Did you have an appoint
ment for an interview?” Jesus not
only did not resent other people’s
initiative. He never seems to have
resented an interruption in his life.
Does this example of Jesus
mean that we ought not to plan
our days ahead of time, or that
we ought never to try to “budg
et” our time? Must we never
plan any project, but always
wait till other people suggest
what we are to do?
Not at all. The example of Jesus
means that if and when interrup
tions occur. If we share his spirit
we shall not be irritated by them or
resent them. For what Jesus did,
always, was to make use of the in
terruption. Each one was turned in
to a “Wayside Ministry.” Indeed, a
large part—some would say the
larger part—of Jesus’ life was made
up of just such by-the-way minis
tries.
Life’s By-the-Ways
ttOW’ MANY of Jesus' teachings
AA we would never have had, if
no one had interrupted him or
asked him questions! How many of
his miracles would never have been
done if he had refused to perform
any but those he planned and sched
uled himself! It is what we do “by
the way” that makes up life’s serv
ice, for the most part. *
In Jesus’ story of the Good Sa
maritan (no doubt an incident from
real fife)' we are not told what
were the original errands of the
priest, the Levite and the Samari
tan. Very likely the first two wero
on time for their appointments.
But the priest and the Levito
missed a wonderful chance, just
because the poor beaten traveler was
not, so to speak, on their agenda.
The Samaritan was delayed, and
maybe bothered, by what he did
for the man in trouble. But what
he was willing to do by the way,
something he had not planned for
at all, won him the immortality of
the Master’s praise.
