Why the Same Muscles Move When You Laugh When You Cry

laughter and weeping is we'll brought out by the famous Professor Metchnikoff, who says that when we indulge in it we move step backward toward our primi- tive ancestors.
 You will notice that the outbursts Of weeping on the part of Mrs. Garfinkle and Mrs. Organ took place while they were in the midst of crowds surrounding their loved ones graves, Other persons near them were hysterical too. Metchn- koff says:
 Man under the influence of crowd gets into q condition like that of a hys- tercai patient By the mere fact that he forms part of an organized crowd he descends several rungs in the ladder of civilization. Isolated, he may be cult- vated individual; in crowd he is a crea. ture acting by instinct"
 These instinctlve outbursts may come when one is alone but they are more apt to happen when one is in a crowd, be- cause the effect of many people on one another is often very like the power of hypnotlSt over patient. But in either case the victim of the outburst may laugh or cry, or do both in quick succession.
 Some scientists have discovered that there are certain savage tribes which possess the ability to laugh heartily or wildly without knowing how to smile. Their laughter tends constantly toward hysteria and tears,
 The smile, on the other hand, is said to be the controlled and civilized way of expressing pleasure and joy. It is serene and is never associated with sorrow, ex- cept when it is worn as mask, to hide other feelings.

 The one at the left reveals the mother of Little Augie,' Jacob Organ, a New York gunman who was murdered by gang sters, weeping historically at the final resting place of her son; at the right hand side of the page is Mrs. Ida Garfinkle, the sister of Benny Goldstein, in mysteries at her brothers grave. Benny was another boy from New York's East Side who was murdered
 Both these women are weeping bitterly, yet so close to laughter is the facial ex- precision that accompanies tears that they appear to be laughing in the pictures. which have not been retouched. On the other hand, the photographs in the center show two laughing faces. But when tears are added to one photo by the retoucher the face seems to be crying
 This is more than a mere coincidence The emotions that produce wild and un- controlled laughter are often the same ones that bring spasm of weeping Ere quently the two go together. And scien- tists tell us that many of the same muscles are brought into play in laughing and crying.
 About two years ago fourteen year old Mary Goldhaar who lives in New York City's Bronx, was on her way home from school when an automobile hit her on the back of the head. The blow paralyzed the tri-facial nerve so that afterward she was unable to either laugh or cry,
 High-priced specialists examined her and decided that while the trouble might have been partly psychological the "risor- ius' muscle controlling her smile as we'll as the optic muscles controlling her eyes

 Is by Weighing as Above. < During the past 20 years 15o5o ! such notices have been issued. 1hls has given the public con- f7denee; In 1914 canned goods pro- duced III this country were valued at Sl74,000,000, but by 1925 this had jumped to s616, 100000. Bakery products increased from S492, 100000 in 1914 to $1,26S,- 00o,00O in 1925. Imported foods com ing into the United States in 1914 were valued at S431, 100000, and by the end ot 1925 at Sl,012, 100000
 Watching the imports is a very impor. tant branch of the service Frequent trips are made abroad to inspect the factories producing food or other products destined for the United States. Inspections are also made at the pier upon arrival.
 These inspections are the same as those applied to American goods. Tests are made for contamination in handling, transit or storage, and also for adultera- ton.
 The milkman is not the only one guilty of occasional adulteration. Ground pep. per shells are found in pepper, chicory in .oiSC, uliuIe dSttlC III ClNer vinegar, glue Tn gelatin, artificial extract in favoTine and excessive moisture in canned goods.
 Such tricks are nearly always discov- cred before the inferior goods reach the consumer.
 A manufacturer of medicinal products 20 years ago could sell brown sugar at S1.5o bottle and get away with it. A physician at the bedside of a very sick person could never he certain hic pro scrIption would he filled properly at the corner drug store. This was true because the corner druggist could never know if his drugs were pure.
 The Federal laws have changed this. Drugs as well as foods are inspected and if not properly labeled the penalty is great. Prosecutions on patent medicines have ranged from so-calfed "sure cures" for tuberculosis and influenza to candy cathartics and castor oil It doesn't pay in 1927 to label anything improperly, for the Government is diligeat in ali lines.

 But there is one violation which is not tolerated, That is the substituting of an inferior grade or article of food.
 Under such protection, the can opener has become the magic wand of 1921. for the food it brings to light is guaranteed. The housewife has a confidence in it she could not have 20 years ago.

 was but one, and then undersold the hon. est dealer by half. the only redress was to do the same.
 Canned goods, except for salmon, sar- dimes, pickles and few vegetables, were practically unknown. Buying these was like trading sight unseen; the housewife had no guarantee of what would be in the can when it was opened.
 Then, following numerous cases of ptonaine poisoning and several epidemcs of diseases traced to contaminated milk, the Federal pure food laws became effec. tive.
 They were brought about by the Bu- reau ot Chemistry. Dr. Harvey w. Wiley was at the head of the bureau and gave official notice to the universal methods of adulteration while studying American food supply problems in an effort to help the farmers. Pure food and drugs be. came his hobby and his ideas about them were enacted into laws in 1906 and be- came effective in January, 1907.
