Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. Eye of the Drunkard. The peculiarities of the eyelids not only modify the functions of sight, but at | mor onditions. Eves with the lids { closely drawn together ave often found {in rogues, sneaks and avaricious { beings, while eves too wide apen show absence of cavacity for accurate or truthful description of what is ob- served. The eyelids of drunkards become lax through a weakened condition of the related muscles and nerves, thereby lose their natural tension, and are drawn nearer together than when in health. It is the struggle of the drunkard to resist, with his balf-conscious efforts, the rapid turning of the eye, and to prevent it, under the control of the voluntary muscles, that makes him see objects distorted and he strives by arching his brows, to keep the upper lids from descending. The puzzled appearance which come along with the relaxation of the lower part of the face, and the slight para- Iytic obliquity of the mouth, complete the degrading expression so notice- able in the faces of habitual drunk- ards. A dispositioh to squint, and to see double, and a forcible elevation of the brow to counteract the drooping of the upper lids to prevent the eyes from closing are characteristic of the man or woman who has become a. habitual violator of Mr. Velstead’s act. debauchees and The California Stdte prize of the American Legion national contest for the best essay on the United States flag has heen won by Fumie Yana- fisawa, a 13-year-old schoolgirl -of Berkeley the same time reveal mental and | Dr. Louise Stanley.

It is the story of a scientist, . and because most people think of the worker In home eco- nomics as being only a_transferred Mary Jane—one who has left her own home kitchen and sewing room for a classroom where these all-important subjects are taught, I asked Dr, Stan- ley to tell me the training that Is necessary before a woman can: be eligible for a position in her bureau. “We are, of course, an extension of home activities,” she said, “but we are an extension in the same way that all laboratories are extensions of the various husinesses of living today.

BREITHAUPT RACIAL ORIGIN—German. SOURCE—A personal characteristic. Here is a German famiy name which in its first use by the neigh- bors and friends of the original bearers was intended to be descriptive of a personal characteristic of those original bearers. Like so many family names of English origin, it indicated complexion, one of the most obvious and natural sources from which family names have developed. In meaning it is virtually the same asg the English family name of Fair fax, or Lighthead, or Blunt, and quite 4 number of others. Literally, however, the name does not mean ‘yellow hair,” nor ‘‘white- head” nor “blond.” The nearest thing we have to it in English is a phrase quite common in modern speech, but not used in the period of the Middle Ages in which family names had the bulk of their development, and hence it is a phrase which has not become a family name in English. That phrase is “'sorel-top.” Breithaupt means “bright-top.” The German “breit,” of course, while not the word generally used today for “bright” or “shining,” comes from the same root as the Eng- lish word “bright.” “Haupt” is allled to_both the French word *“haut,” which means “height” (in the sense of top”), and the English word “high.” First!

The saying is a very old one, having had its origin with the great Spanish author. Cervantes, who lived from 1547 to 1616 and gave to the world “Don Quixote.” It is_in_that work, in Part 11, Chapter XXXI, that he said ““The ‘ass will carry his load, but not s double load; ride not a free horse to death.” With the change only free” to “willing,” his wise saving used in the speech. of the word the latter part of survived and is me form in modern Walnut Cake Dessert.

Nearly everybody now has heard about the white corpuscles and how they increase in number when infec- tion of germs occurs, and how the modern physician regularly counts the number of these white corpuscles or leucoctytes in the blood of the patient when he wants to get evidence that some infection occurred or an in- dex to the patient’s capacity to fight the infection. The white corpuscles serve, among other functions, the pur- pose of destroving disease germs in the blood and in the tissues. They do this by approaching single germs or groups of germs and shooting out arms around the germs so as to en- gulf the germs in their bodies, and | the process is called phagocytosis, and it is no “theory” but a physiological precess which any student may watch under the microscope. gave the name of phagocytes to the white corpuscles which do this, the term meaning literally cells which eat. Sir A. E. Wright first demonstrated about 15 years ago that the phagocytic function ~ depends on the way the werms are prepared or made fit to eat, or opsonized, as bacteriologists say. Opsonins are substances produced in the blood and tissues and serving to { render the germs vulnerable to the | phagoeytes. In a normal person the | phagoeytes will surround and devour a | certain number of germs in a given | time, under suitable conditions. That |is the unit of measurement, and the technician counts the number of germs | the white corpuscles ingest in any case and compares the mumber with the normal. That gives the opsonic | index, which is a fairly good index or | measurement of the ‘‘resistance” of {the individualat the moment, or, more | accurately, a measurement of the in- dividual's immunity. If there were either scientific truth or common sense in the notion that exposure of part or all of the body to cold or wet “lowers resistance’ against any known disease, it ought to be a comparatively simple matter to pro- cure a little scientific evidence to sup- poze the notion, by conducting a series of experiments on human subjects. |1 am sure there are many persons who are not in the least afraid of rea- sonable exposure to cold, chilling or Metchnikoff | 31 ¥ 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Story of the U.

There is a chance for some health commissioner or other authority who honestly believes there is any harm in wetting one's feet, or anvthing like that, to set a rather noisy and trouble- some person back a peg or two. If a serfes of such experiments showed that exposure in the ordinary sense produced a downward curve in the opsonic index, I should be compelled to admit that I have been wrong in the very foundation of my teaching about this vital question. Experiments on animals, carried out in hope of obtaining scientific evi- dence to support the superstition \wve proved a discouraging washout. Well, if the doctors who cherish the superstition are in earnest, let them take up this challenge and knock the wind out of my safls. Little fear about that.
