C. \ ^RROR Of Your MIND Scientific Books B Must Be Dull By Lawrence Gould • i Must 'scientific Answer: Yes, in the same sense in which a book written in French is “dui!” to a person w{io has only a smattering of that language. For while scientists sometimes do use technical terms when they might use familiar ones, there are many scientific ideas for which ordinary English has no exact words, and for which the non-scientific reader must learn new terms if he is to understand discussions of them. The alternative is a '‘translation’' like this column, and unfortunately no translation can by 100% accurate because, except for such concrete words as “house” or “tree,” no two words in different languages convey exactly the same meaning. writiug be dull? meanings its name has acquired. Advertisers, for example, long since learned to make colors ap> pealing by giving them names which suggest romance or social superiority, such as “ruby” red, or “royal” purple. “Navy blue” conveys a feeling of dependability which “dark-blue” does not. Do colors affect your emotions? Answer: Probably not much all by themselves, says Dr. Benjamin J. Kouwer, Dutch psychologist. A light of one wave-length probably does not arouse very different feel ings than does one of another. The effect of a color on your emotions depends largely on the idea: which you have come to associate with it and these in turn grown out of the Will a nursery school help a spoiled child? Answer: It might, if he is not too much retarded in emotional devel opment to be capable of getting on wdth other cftildren. But it can not cure him. A spoiled child is one who has or has had a neurotic mother, and the only way to help him is to help his mother to feel differently toward him and herself, and to treat him differently. Where a nursery school or its staff might be of the most use would be in leading the mother to get help for her own difficulties. Well-adjusted mothers do not have “spoiled chil dren,” and the only real cure for a child’s emotional problems is to solve his mother’s.

Barton pHYSICIANS are finding that * while pain stand? first as cause for consulting a physician, fatigue (tiredness) is how a leading reason for visits to, or from, the physician. The whole world seems to be tired. In Annals of Allergy, Dr. M. G. Mayer, Michigan City, Indiana, states that three per cent of all new patients seen over a year’s period offered fatigue as their sole treason for seeking medical atten tion. It was found that those who showed allergic tendencies seemed more likely to develop fatigue, and investigation of these cases from the standpoint of allergy was thor oughly made. “Surprising results were obtained when the offending factors or sub stances, generally foods, were omit ted or removed,” writes Dr. Mayer. “Forty-eight per cent became well of fatigue in the group with organic disease not deemed sufficient to cause, fatigue symptoms, and 60 per cent became well of fatigue in the group in whom no organic dis ease was found.” Thus Dr. Mayer points out that allergy and physical and mental effort may work to gether in causing the entire nervous and muscular system to become fatigued. In his experience, it is impossible to find intelligent in dividuals who possess complete nervous equilibrium or balance— yet not all complain of fatigue. Physicians have long known that allergy is more prevalent among schoolteachers than among any other one group. And those well acquainted with the duties of teach ers are the first to agree that it is a most exhausting profession and that schoolteachers as a class de serve and need the lengthy summer holidays granted them. In order to keep their students alert and awake to absorb what they are teaching, teachers have to keep therftselves keyed up. This alertness causes tenseness of nerves and muscles and tenseness for 20 minutes or half an hour is exhausting. HEALTH NOTES lere is a definite relation be en character and allergy. Glands take a great part in man aging and directing the body proc esses. to Overactivity of the thyroid causes the body processes to work too fast —underweight, rapid heart beat, mold digestion. Gross overweight causes disease and shortens the life span. Goiter may be of the simple type, which is not dangerous, or it may be severe. • • • If the problem child could be given an allergy study, perhaps many could be treated and returned home emotionally normal. TMt HOmE Town #EP0PT£P IN WASHINGTON WALTER SHE AD. WNU Cone .uon.le.u Speculation on ’52 T HERE IS considerable specula tion in Washington and, no doubt, the remainder of the country over who will be and who will not be a candidate for the Republican and Democratic presidential nomi nations. At the moment three men hold the spotlight: President Tru man, Sen. Robert Taft and Gen. Dwight Eisenhower. It is far too early to say what will be the outcome of all the be- hind-the-scene political maneuver ing that is taking place in the na tion’s capital However, there ara some definite trends and specula tions that should prove interesting to the home town readers. Truman’s Intentions In the light of political tradition. President Truman is the logical candidate for the Democratic nomi nation. As President he is leader of the party and a much more powerful political figure than a great many will admit His enemies, both Republican and Democrat, contend that he has lost his power over the party and appeal to the average voter, with some jurisdic tion, in the light of his relations with congress. However, his friends and even some of his enemies, remember that President Truman is stub born, with more than an average feeling for the common man. They remember the 1948 cam paign. Even in the face of the numerous investigations of his administrations and its inade quacies, they realize he has taken a firm and historic stand on a number of questions. He can not be erased from the picture. Korean developments and internal economic picture, centered around the recently signed price control bill, may have much to do with his 1952 possibilities. Taft Wants to Run There is hardly anyone in Wash ington who will tell you that Taft does not want the Republican nomi nation. To the contrary, it is gen-* erally believed he has already opened his campaign with his New England speeches. And it is gen erally believed his activities will accelerate until the eve of the na tional. Republican convention in an all-out drive to capture the prize. Senator Taft, however, has a number of hurdles to over come that could be his down fall. First among them is the label of isolationist that has been hung on him. Another is the opposition of the more Uberal elements of the Republican par ty- To sum up the possibilities and the speculation. Senator Taft has opened his campaign. Ho may or may not succeed. The Eisenhower Story The hopes and fears and aspira tions of political ambitious men and the Republican and Democratic parties depend, as perhaps never before in this country’s history, upon the intentions of one man— General Eisenhower. If tomorrow the general should decide to announce himself as a candidate for the Republican or Democratic nominations for President, he could have either one without noticeable opposi tion. But there are a number of stum bling blocks in the general’s path. For one thing no one knows, at least it hasn’t been publicly an nounced, to which party he belongs. It has been whispered that he is a Republican, but does not embrace those elements of the party that would tear down his work in Europe and isolate this country from its allies. Above all, the general is believed to feel this country’s fu ture depends on a strong foreign policy. On the Democratic side of the fence, there are many who think President Truman will throw his weight behind the general at the proper moment and secure him for the Democratic party. At a recent news conference President Truman said the general’s military assignment in Europe would not prevent him from running for President next year. The state ment is believed to be Truman’s way of removing any road-blocks in the path of an Ike-for-President boom. That is the political triangle that has the nation talking. Briefly it can be summed up: Taft wants it, Truman won’t say, and Eisenhower can have it.. Reds Will Yield High United Nations sources be lieve the Communists will eventual ly meet allied demands for a cease fire in Korea. Much of the talk so far has been of a face-saving na ture, they argue. They reason that the Reds have repeatedly exagger ated allied demands in broadcasts in their homelands so they can agrea to actual demands and make it ap pear the U.N. has granted numerous concessions. The ways of comxmv nism are mysterious indeed. THE SPEAKS Sm Uruior* Sunday School Lomom BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:13-16; 13:33; Luke 19:1-10; Acts 5:25-29; I Peter 3: 13-18.

The offi- *■» cial title of this week’s lesson is “The Christian’s Responsibility in Public Life.” That is a big thing, a wide circle; but the center of the cir cle is you, my friend, and right around you is the community in which you live. What kind of town is it? Not how big, but how good. It doesn’t have to be a town at all. It may be a section of open country, a few miles of farms, ranches or woodland. But it is some kind of community. In New York state the Citizen’s Council prepared the following set of questions which can be used to help you rate your community. After each set of these questions write down either 10 for good, 5 for fair, or 0 for poor. Dr. Foreman 1 clove garlic 1 small onion, grated 3 tablespoons horseradish Mix all ingredients well in quart jar. Shake well before using. (This dressing is excellent oh any meat or fish salad that needs a tart dressing). Rate Your Town “1. Education: Does your commu nity make modern education avail able to every child, youth and adult? Are its schools uncrowded, properly equipped, and in good phys ical condition? Are the teachers highly qualified and well paid? “2. Housing and Planning: Is etery family decently housed? Is there continual planning for im provement of highways and other community essentials? Are park ing, transportation problems under control?

Leftover ground beef can always go toward making chili Team this with cornmeal waffles, and you’ll get a tamale flavor, but much more easily.' Freshly baked cookies right from the oven and a chilled glass of milk give an excellent dessert for simple suppers. Or, try hot ginger bread topped with a mixture of cream and cottage cheese. “9. Government: Do capable citi zens seek public office? Are your officials concerned above all with community betterment? Does con troversy stem from honest differ ences of opinion and not from squab bles over privilege? “10. Community Organization: Is there any organization (community forum or the like) representative of the whole community, working for the advancement of all? Do your citizens have opportunity to learn about and take part in their local affairs? Is there an organized com munity-wide discussion program?”* But now look over those ques tions again. Is there anything yen could do, personally, abont each of those things? II so, have yon done it? Have yon done as much as yon could?
