 To Check Job Hunters

Believing that the fact that New Britain maintains a municipal labor bureau may have the influence of at tracting job seekers from other towns, Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber of Commerce~has asked Frank Rogers, director of the city labor bureau to check up on previous employment of applicants who ask the city to provide work.
 My only idea is that of taking care of local residents" said MT. Benson in discussing his request. The Chamber secretary, who is in Washington today attending the na- tional Chamber of Commerce con- vention, said so far as he was con- cerned he had no interestin reasons why an applicant left a previous job, but that reports have come to him that men from other towns come to New Britain seeking work. He has no actual knowledge of any outsiders being hired, but feels that the re- ports merit some investigation.

Oyster Cracker Food Enough For
 Hour of Intense Mental Effort

Washington, April 2S (R - One oyster cracker. or one half of a salted peanut has been found food enough to provide the extra calor- ies needed for an hour of intense mental effort.
 That is what pr. Francis c. Bene- dict, director of the nutrition lab oratory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington at Boston, told mem- bers of the National Academy of Sciences at the opening of their an- nual meeting here today.
 The professor absorbed in intense mental effort for one hour, he said, has no greater extra demand, for food during the entire time than the maid who dusts off his desk for five minutes.
 Results Seem Surprising
 From the standpoint of dyna- mics," he said, "it is perhaps sur prising that the extra caloric de mands of mental effort arc so small"
 Discussing the results of experi- ments jointly conducted by him and his wife, as to the energy require ments of intense mental efforts, Dr. Benedict explained that five men and one woman were measured un- der three different conditions.
 The first measurement was taken during complete muscular and di- gestive repose, and nearly as pos sible in a state of mental vacuity. The second was made during "at- tention" or response to an electric signal, but with no active brain pro- cesses of q complex nature. The third measurement came during in- tense, suStained mental activity, as in the elaboration of arithmetic problems for an hour when each subject admitted that he was ment- ally exhausted.
 Pictures All Same
 The general picture of the effect of mental effort was the same with all subjects, pr. Benedict said. There were distinct heart increase rate, pronounced alteration in the gener- al character of respiration. a small increase in carbonic acid exhalation, and slightly smaller increase in the oxygen consumption. In the per iods of repose following the mental work, the speaker pointed out that all these factors immediately re- sumed their former level and :na- ture.
