ssDURING tine nrst period Of three days the
squad having the sugar had q gain in
speed of 81 per cent, while the sacctarin
squad had q loss Of Al per cent when the
tests before EXERCISE are compared with the
tests after exercise. Squad A. which had tests
both under sugar and under saecharin, had a
gain Of 81 per cent following exercise when
sugar had been ingested, but loss of speed
Of So per cent during the last three days.
when saccharin was fngested this loss in speed
occurred in spite of the fact that it should
have had added benefits from practice i'm the
second three days
These facts would seem to indicate definite
recovery value in increasing speed Of reaction
to this visual stimulus from the ingestton OF
sugar.
Body sway was measured by an atapEiagraph.
Following exercise the sugar squad A had it's
sway reduced 9.O4 per cent, wfile the Sacci1arin
squad had an increase in its sway Of 1871
per cent. Comparing Squad for its sugar and
saecharin days. we find an Improvement OF
per cent worse following exercise on its
Saccharin days.
".Lag Of attention was measured by the
Marietta clock. Following exercise, the sugar
squad showed SIS per cent improvement. while
the saccharin squad showed loss of 90 per
cent. During its Saecharin period Squad
showed only slight deterioration from it's per-
Torrance during the sugar days
These preliminary results, which have given
rather definite indications that practical per-
Torrance will benefit when sugar is ingested
during exescfse have been obtained under the

Hated with air to equal the pressure OF q coll

An open glass tube connects with the flask
containing the one balloon. This open tube
leads to o mechanism which responds to the
changes in air pressure caused by the contrac-
tions of the stomach COMPRISING the balloon
in the stomach. AS the stomach contracts,
an aluminium lever rises; as the stomach re-
lakes, the lever lowers. These changes of the
lever are recorded q white curve On the
smoked paper of the slowly revolving kymo-
graph drum This curve indicates hunger con-
fractions or absence Of hunger pangs
In discussing the experiments made with
these and other instruments, DIR. Laird ex-
planned that although carbohydrates and eSpe-
cially common sugar, have been generally con-
sidered to be ready sources of energy" there
have been until virtually no specific expert
mental measurements made of their effective
ness In helping regain mental and motor con-
troll after exercise.
In his explanation of the tests and their re-
suits the noted psychologist comments:
This report deals with how much work can
be DONE The performance i'm standard tests OF
healthy young men who had been especially
trained in the tests was obtained. Twelve sub
jeets were used, divided into two squads. Squad
A, Of six young men, was tested six days. The
first three days they were given % ounces Of
sugar in solution with lemon flavorf1g, 40 min
utes before the exercise; the last three days
they were given Saccharin Ca Sugzrless sweet
ener) favored with lemon. The other SIX sub
Iects constituted Squsd b, and were given emily
saccharin solution and served only the FIRST
three days of the experiment.
"Due to this arrangement Of experimental
squads, there are two ways In which We can
estimate the recovery valt1e' Of ordinary sugar
preceding exercise. First, the performances Of
Squad A, which had sugaT the FIRST three days,
can be compared with the performances Of
Squad B. which had saecharin ON the c1Tre-
spending days. Second we can compare the
performance of Squad A during tine first half
Of the test, when sugar was used, with its per-
Torrance the last three days, when saeeharin
was used

modern oracle, the laboratory machine, nor for
it's high priest, the psychologist For the ma
chine age, as science is constantly demonstrate

To each Of the questions listed above the

THE FALL BONFIRE

Falling leaves and dead stalks
leave too much refuse around our
home places. The old time gardener
had one or more fall bonfires to dis
pose of this stuff If he had a heart,
he would surreptitiously conceal in
the heap some potatoes, apples, or
ears of corn. AS soon as the curl
ing flames and smoke created a sig
nal, all the children used to gather.
1t was a festive scene to them.
Children love a bonfire, and if
from the glowing ashes the roast
potatoes, apples and corn appear,
their joy knows no limits.
The fall bonfire in many thickly
settled communities, is considered
Is ...e peril now, and local regula-
tions may forbid it. The smoke from
your useful blaze may deposit its
SCOT on your neighbor's white
clothes. But wherever the fall bon
fire is still possible, it accomplishes
wonders to clean up the home re-
fuse, and its dancing flames are
still a cheerful picture.

DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN
What Is The Difference Between A
Democrat And A Republican,

The Pathfinder has made inquiry
for definition of the above question
with many replies, which were linn
tied to fifty words or, less. From
these follow views of prominent
men. w
The Republican view, as selected
by Senator Watson of Indiana, was
A Republican believes in a strong
federal government; protection to
industry; free speech, press and re-
ligion; continued separation of
church and state; law enforcement;
a high standard of living, and eco
nomy in government.
The Democratic view, as selected
by Senator Swanson of Virginia,
was:
A Democrat believes in the doc
trine of states rights, a tariff on
luXuries for revenue only, and
equality in all laws enacted, while
a Republican believes in a strong
centralized government, a high pro-
tective tariff on manufactured ar
ticles and legislation favoring spe-
cial or vested interestes.

ADVANCING TOWNS

The reason why some cities and
towns make a rapid advance in pop
ulation and wealth is not usually
because of their very superior nat
ural advantages. In the majority of
cases it is because such towns are
provided with the leadership of en-
terprising and active people. These
folks in their own private business,
are not satisfied unless the sales of
their product keep increasing. They
are necessarily studying how they
can make new markets for their
work and services.
In their function as citizens, these
people are equally energetic. They
are never satisfied with a commun-
ity that is just standing still. They
are always working for new i'm
provements. They form and carry
on active organizations for the pub
lie good, they communicate enthu-
siasm to their many followers, with
the result that a public sentiment
is created which feels that useful
things can be done, and they are
done

REGISTRATION FOR VOTING

One reason for the failure of
many people to vote at elections, is
always that it is not until election
day or a few days previous, that
to- walve up to the fact that they
-. =. ,oCe. they had scarcely
known that a campaign was going
on. But as the contestants slam
each other, and tell what terrible
things are going to happen if their
candidates are not chosen to save
the country these previously indif-
ferent folks begin to emerge from
their state of political coma.
But it is apt to happen that at
the time those folks make this dis
covery, they find that it is too late
for them to get their names on the
voting lists. In the country as a
whole this year there will be mill
lions of people on November 4th
who have an opinion about this
election and would like to express
it, but who will be unable to do so
because they neglected to register
before the time limit fixed by law.
The failure of many millions of
our people to take part in the gov
ernment of the country by voting
is one of the most serious difficult
ties in the way of political progress.
The laws of many states requir-
ing voters to register for each cleo
tion add very largely to the num-
ber who fail to vote because their
names are not on the list. 1t seems
strange that any patriotic Ameri-
can would lose the right to suffrage,
which should be one of his most
cherished privileges, because he is
too busy or too indolent to take the
brief time necessary to see that his
name is placed on the voting list.
1t takes patience and persistence
for party workers to round up un-
registered voters. Calling people by
telephone and spending evenings
ringing doorbells, to rouse the lag
CARDS from their apathy, is good |
hard work. The people who carry on |
this activity as a matter of public |
spirit, can feel that they are render
ing an important service.

COLUMBUS DAY

1t is a very marvellous thing that
the discovery of America, celebrat-
ed now by most of the states on
Columbus Day, October 18th, and
which is possibly the greatest
scientific feat of all the ages, was
accomplished by man who had lit
tie education.
Christopher Columbus did not
come from any family of navigators,
but his father was a weaver, and
all his family were workers at va
rious trades. There were no sailors
in the family to give him a start on
his adventures in unknown places.
When 81 years of age, he was still
a weaver. He did not apparently
venture out on the soa- until some
years later. II seems probably that
he was at first only a common sail
or. He went on voyage after voyage,
but at the age. of 80 years he was
in dire poverty, and managed to
earn a living by selling books and
maps. And that was only two years
before he performed the deed that
turned the world upside down,
when he found a new continent,
which eventually was to develop
the worlds most powerful nation.
How came it that this great man,
without scientific study or prepara-
ton, was able to form a conception
about our world that was hidden at
that time from the worlds most
learned wise men and philosophers?
One can account for it only on the
theory that he was one of the clos
est observers and most originating
thinkers that the race ever pro-
duced. He saw the things that other
people did not see, and he reasoned
with amazing accuracy as to what
these observations meant.
His example shows what people
can do, when they have had no ad-
vantages, no education, no inauen-
tial families to push them ahead.
The world today furnishes just as
many opportunities for people to
achieve great results and raise
themselves to distinction by their
own efforts as it did in Columbus
day.

THE RADIO INDUSTRY

The radio industry is celebrating
its tenth anniversary. 1t seems q
very short time since our people
first began to be conscious of this
new marvel. People were exceeding
ly skeptical at first. They heard
some story telling how people in
some towns had heard through
some mysterious new means, the
music of concerts in distant cities.
The whole thing seemed incredible
to many of us.
Within a few years radios were
being sold everywhere. The first
ones were imperfect, judged by pres
ent standards. But they so fascinat-
ed the people, that these new in
struments probably sold more rap
idly than any other scientific novel
ty previously introduced.
A family without radio does not
seem well equipped now for modern
living. 1t will miss a great deal of
instruction that it should have, and
it deprives itself of delightful enter
tainment that makes home life
sweeter than ever.
Radio instruments are relatively
inexpensive, compared with many
of the modern improvements. The
amount of money which people
should invest in one depends a good
deal on whether they have a SEN
sitive musical taste. If people are
not so well educated musically, and
simply want bright and cheerful
strains playing in their homes, an
extremely moderate expense will
buy a set that will give them pleas
ant hours, and reproduce the words
of a public speaker with perfect
If however they are sensitive mu-
sically, an additional sum devoted |
to the purchase of high grade in
strument, will give them a wonder
full amount of satisfaction. 1t will
still be one of the cheapest forms
Of pleasure that ever came into
their homes. We have in Milford a
group of very enterprising radio
dealers, who will do their utmost
to provide each family with the type
Of instrument best adapted to it's
needs.

THE TO.MORROW HABIT

Travellers in Central and South
America have often laughed at the
way the people of those countries
have of saying "manana," which
means tomorrow. If you ask those
folks to do something for you which
you need right off, they are apt to
say "manana." But when tomorrow
comes, and it is never done.
That point of view is not limited
to South and Central America. We
can find plenty of people who act
that way in our own towns, and
some even in Milford. 1t is a ter
rible habit to acquire. 1t brings
many business concerns to ruin,
and it holds many towns stationary
when they are entitled to go ahead,
