’ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, ‘STOMACH REACTS | [What Do You Know About Washington? Do You Sometimes Think Food Costs a Lot in Washington? You Ought to Have to Market in Some Other Cities! ALMOST FAGAL 300 Students Used in Tests Which Register Fear, Dismay and Joy. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, March 2—For a long time the human stomach has been known as a bad actor, which talks back and speaks out of turn generally. Now_ two scientists at Western Re- serve University here have given him film tests with the X-ray and have caught him emoting in the best Holly- wood_tradition, registering fear, dismay and happiness. Nearly 300 healthy students, in va- rious stages of excitement, were ex- amined in this study by Prof. T. Win- ( gate Todd and Wilhelmine Kuenzel. Among other important traits they dis- covered reactions analogous to facial expressions. Causes Sinking Sensation. “When a student first submits to an examination he usually has a sinking | sensation,” Miss Kuenbel relates. “The lower part of the stomach reflects this feeling and has sunk, in some instances, | until it presents a picture of an elong- ated tube with the lower end resting upon the very rim of the pelvis. But at the next examination the student is | braver and the stomach appears to have Tisen. “If we happen to know that the stu- dent is dreading an examination in one of his classes, or fears some other fu- ture event, the stomach again will pre- sent this sunken, lethargic appearance. It requires three or four examinations before the stomach reacts normally. ‘The stomach also reflects in a manner ‘th:dumpenment of the person exam- ined. “In a person whose reactions are quick, who moves and speaks rapidly, the stomach also is more active than a stomach in a person who is stodgy and talks and moves slowly,” she said. Fluids for Digestion. But Miss Kuenzel points out, all foods in the stomach, are at least suspended in fluid swallowed or gastric juice. Buttermilk will make even a lethargic stomach kick into action. Milk seems to soothe it, for the response is quite gentle, After a drink of water the stomach is quite vigorous. carry on its good work stimulating ach activity. The chocolate peppermint has the same effect, at least in students. Probably this is the reason why so hysicians have found the addi- restores a tranquil activity to an over- ‘wrought organ.

BY BERTRAM BENEDICT. ‘When the Washington housewife goes to market she spends less for many items of food than housewives buying the same items in most other large cities of the United States. If the Washington housewife receives the same amount of household money every week as the average housewife {in the other cities of the country, she {should set a better table than the aver- age if she buys wisely. Conversely, she mlhould be able to set ; ulzl: eqv\l:‘!.:g e average on less than the a allowance for food, but again only if she selects her food judiciously. These are some of the deductions from figures recently published by the Federal Government on average food costs in the different cities of the United States. The figures are as of the early Winter of 1929-30 and apply to identi- cal cuts of meat, canned goods, dairy grades, etc, so that they are strictly comparable. Sirloin Steak Costs More Here. The average price for sirloin steak in the United States was found to be 49 cents. In Washington it was 53 cents, which was 3 cents more than in Richmond, and 7 cents more than in | Baltimore. In New York it was also 53 cents; in Chicago, 55 cents, and in Pittsburgh, 531 cents. Butter in Washington was found to cost 4 per cent more than in the coun- try as a whole, 2 per cent more than in Baltimore, 2 per cent more than in New York, but the same as in Phila- delphia. ‘The growing child in Washington is given milk to drink about as cheaply as the average city child who lives else- where. Milk here averaged 143, cents a quart, when the average cost for the whole country was 14}, cents. In Nor- folk it cost 18 cents; in New York, 16 cents; in Baltimore, 14 cents; in Phila- delphia, 14 cents. Coftee Costs Less, Sugar Also. ‘The man or woman who takes sugar in their coffee saves more here than in most cities of the land. Sugar cost 63 cents for 10 pounds in Washington at the same time that the average price was 67 cents. It was 71 cents in Nor- folk, 66 cents in Richmond and 70 cents in_Pittsburgh, It is less extravagant to take a second cup of coffee with your breakfast in Washington than in ‘most other cities. A well known brand of coffee cost 45 cents a pound in Washington while the average price in the whole United States .| Was 48 cents. In Norfolk it was 49 cents; in Baltimore, 44 cents; in Rich- mond, 47 cents; in New York, 44 cents: in Chicago, 46 cents. Strictly fresh eggs here were selling for 5 cents a dozen more than in the Baltimore 5 cents lower, in Philadelphia 1 cent more. ‘When the average price of flour in the United States was 5.2 :':u & pound, n. {1t was 5.3 cents in Washin Orange Prices Here Average Less. ‘The most widely used fruit is prob- ably oranges. In Washing you were paying 41 cents a dozen for a grade of which the average price in the whole country was 43 cents. It was 42 cents in Baltimore, but 39 cents in Richmond. The mother who gives her child orange Jjuice in New York has to pay 59 cents for these oranges, more it cent more to buy food in 2%': %‘?n&f—' of 1929 than one year previously. « 3 The Washington Sun- . dr; !li‘l’.\ U.

WARSAW, Poland, March 1.— ‘Thomas Wilson, & United States foreign service inspector in Europe, arrived in Warsaw yesterday to assist the Polish authorities in their investigation into the activities of a gang that forged American visas on passports. On February 23 Assistant United States Attorney Henry, in New York, said that six men were under arrest and others were sought in an in tion into the sale of forged visas to Polish immigrants. He indicated that a for- mer vice consul in Warsaw was impli- cated. Leo Shapiro of Paterson, N. J., and five men from Brooklyn were held by the American authorities. TOURS. BCYELES POPULA ATSMITH COLLERE Girls Pedal Here, There and Everywhere—Count 211 Wheels. Special Dispatch to The Star. NORTHAMPTON, Mass., March 2. —There are 211 bicycles for the 2,000 students at Smith College, not includ- ' ing those in use when the census was taken, and some whose enthusiastic but inexperienced riders had sent to repair shops. These 211 were lying on the ground, parked inst houses, piled on porches, or i in cellars. More than half are owned by students in the Quadrangle, which are the farthest away from the center of col- lege activities. Only 10 of the 61 houses are without at least 1 bicycle. During the week end bicycles are little used. But on week days bicycles are everywhere. The student must be quick to detect the characteristic rat- tle of a bicycle progressing over a brick walk, and very nimble in leaping out of the way, if she wishes to avold a bump. ‘There are big bicyles and little bicycles, rusty bicycies and shiny bicycles, but all of them are much used.
