GOSSIP Is REALLY ONE

Cages Need 1t, Declares

Boston, November 1.-.Professor Cnas.
Zueblin agrees with Professor William
i Thomas. of the University OF Chicago
that women gossip In order to give
pleasant shocks to their vaso-motor
systems and thus prevent sure death
from boredom. Professor Zueblin says
men gossip as much as the other sex.
This process Of giving shocks to
the vaso-motor system is simply reac-
ton. We Ill demand that" said Pro-
lessor Zueblin. without it we should
go insane as so many isolated farmers
wives do. because they have no one
with whom to gossip, no way OF get
ting reaction. It Is Just the same with
the animals we fasten into cages. They
stalk back and forth until they SO
mad for want of little animal gossip
THE demand for reaction is not con.
fined to farmers wives. It Is uni
Versal. Even the rich women who
could have broader lives II they would
cling to thei. little set, evidently pre-
rcrring to gossip with old friends than
to make new ones. II their vaso-
motor systems demand gossip. they
must certainly be satisfied. It Is gos-
.siping, the reaction, that people need.
I use the word people advisedly. for
women are not alone in their gossip
