How Early Does Baby Register? :?

With no thought of Hollywood ca
reer. but only with that scientific in
terest which makes psychologists do
anything TO find out new fact about
the human mind. motion pictures have
been taken of infants In the first days
and weeks Of life under stimulations
suitable to that tender age.
Infants were photographed to see
whether and how they would register
hunger" by letting them so IS min
uteS past their proper feeding time
For an infant that's small tragedy!
Next, how they would register il they
were suddenly dropped 2 feet or so on
to stretched blanket-quite thrill
ing leap at that age. Next they were
held with the head and face down on
a table just firmly enough TO prevent
movement--and that would equal being
tied and gagged for an adult For
their last act these registering infants
were touched six times on the cheek
with the point of a needle. tNow, that
may appear cruel. but as a fact new
born infants are not particularly SEN
Sltive, though they become so earlyo
That's fair repertory at that age
But all this is Just to get the ma
terial The real test was on the spec
tators -- 40 graduate students at the
University of Chicago--who looked at
the films and put down for each what
emotion they thought the infants were
registering. Now. III reading a baby's
face we are apt to have in mind our
own expressions, which are mature
and modified by experience. Some "a
names were used in describing the ex-
preSsions. the most common being:
anger, fear, pain, hunger, discomfort.
When hungry" infant appeared
on the screen dozen different read
ingS were made. the most common
being fear" When an infant is hum
cry il looks out OF sorts. and we are
apt to call it fear. But the expression
when the infants were rigidly held was
most commonly called anger" which
is correct. Only u out of the 40 rec
ognized the expression OF a frightened
infant as fear: "a named anger for the
expression when restrained; 13 said
pain" to the needle-reaction express
sion. and only Z recognized correctly
the hunger" expression.
But these students knew which four
experiments had been made, and so
had only to decide the right caption
for each of the four films Students
who didn't know what had actually
been done to the infants and had just
to make their own captions for the ex-
pressions didn't do nearly as WELL
For small company. the infants
gave a performance in person. They

Everyday Law Cases
Can District Attorney Be Held
Liable for False Arrest?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Henry Speed, district attorney, was
an aggressive and relentless prosecutor
He was determined TO curb crime in his
city and urged the police force to be
watchful and strict.
In his mail one morning Speed re-
ceived an anonymous note that cer-
tain Thomas Kane, Hill road. was
the perpetrator of recent hold-up.
Anxiety overcame his prudence, and
Speed ordered Kane'S arrest. Kane was
arrested, but was able to prove his
innocence very quickly and easily.
Angered by the arrest. Kane sued
Speed for false arrest, asking $4,000
damages. At the trial Speed admitted
his inprudence, but asked that the case
be dismissed on the ground that as a
public officer he was immune from civil
liability.
The court, In disrnissing Kane's case,
explained
Although the liability OF public on
GERS 10 private actions for damages
arising from officiai acts is an unsettled
question. the majority of our courts
favor immunity where the ONCE Is semi
judicial. A district attorney is gen.
orally considered a semi judicial off,
Ger. and 1t is said that he should be
exempt from civil liability, because
public policy demands that he be un-
hampered in his duty in enforcing the
law"

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY PROF. JOSEPH JAsTRow.

we're stimulated behind a screen and
then shown to medical students and
nurses. The results were about the
same as for the motion pictures. Quite
frequently when the infant had been
dropped on a blanket the expression
was read as "colic" or awakened from
sleep"
So these very young babies don't
register as accurately as they will a
few months. even weeks. later. The
baby face gradually takes on express
sion and the first smile is greeted as
an outburst of exceptional intelligence.
The chief distinction is between being
comfortable or not: and discomfort is
the more urgent emotion. The four
situations were all disturbing and in
the infant vocabulary would be regis
tered also in the cry.
AT first ii Is a general misery" cry.
but soon takes on a slightly different
tune, when baby is hungry when
scared. when angry. All that is in
Natures repertory at the start. In
that sense fear and anger-that is, the
discomfort caused by withdrawing sup
port cor a sudden loud noise) and by
restraining movement--are Unborn reg
istrations. Quite soon the mother and
nurse can make pretty good guess.
Judging both by what they hear and
by what they see, whether baby is
sleepy or hungry in pain or discomfort.
or just generally miserable and fret
ting,
One of the most successful of these
early registrations is anger--the sign
of the infants protest and rebellion
against being thwarted in any of its
lordly desires. And from these small
beginnings, elaborated by much art
and artificiality. grows the industry of
Hollywood. Owing to the amazing pop
pIarity Of the art of the screen, we
have become expression conscious and
so are interested IN the first baby steps
in registering emotion.
