ELECTRICITY IN
HUMAN NERVES
IS MEASURED
Delicate instrument Will
Throw New Light on
Emotions.
BY DAVID DIETZ
SeripDs-Howard Science Editor

A direct method Of measuring the
currents flowing in human nerves
has been developed by DR.. Edmund
Jacobson. associate professor of
/ physiology at the University of Chi
cago. His work is expected to throw
new light on the meaning of ''nerv-
business and tc lead to important
! discoveries N the understanding
and treatment Of nervous diseases.
DR.. jacobson has developed cleo
| trlcal apparatus Of almost unbe-
lievable senSitiveneSs by which it is
( possible to measure directly what
goes on in IN individuals nerves
when he is excited. irritable, or emo
tional.
Until today, nervousness" has
! been word of indefinite meaning.
DR.. Jacobson has paved the way for
giving it an exact and quantitative
meaning.
His apparatus measures the cleo
trical potential or pressure which is
developed in a nerve. SO far, his
experiments have been limited TO
the ulnar nerve which controls the
movements of the hand.
Pressure Is Increased
He has found that individuals in
a state of relaxation produce less
than one-millionth of a volt of cleo
! trical pressure in this nerve, while
/ individuals in a state of excited
action may generate as much as
| one-hundredth of a volt.
This, it will be noted, represents
an increase in electrical pressure in
this nerve of 10000 times.
The apparatus developed by DR..
Jacobson includes a fine hypoder-
mic needle which contains two very
fine and well-insulated wires. These
wires are exposed at the tip of the
needle
When the apparatus is used, this
needle is inserted into the ulnar
nerve so that the two wires make
contact with it.
These wires, in turn, lead to a
powerful simplifying unit, not unlike
the simplifying tubes and transform
ers of a radio set, and from that
to a delicate recording apparatus.
Needle Is Inserted
The recorder is an instrument
known as the string galvanometer.
1t consists of a small coil of wire
suspended within another coil by
quartz thread no thicker than a
spiders web.
When a current flows Through
the coils it twists the thread. At
tached to the thread is a tiny mir
ror This mirror reflects a beam
of light on to a scale
When the thread is twisted, the
spot of light moves over the scale.
Movement of the light is recorded
on a motion picture film
DR.. Jacobson believes that de-
velopments of his technique Of
measuring will find important uses
in the study of many diseases of
the muscles as well as Of the nerves.
The Importance of measurement
in medicine is illustrated by what
has taken place since the develop
ment in 1893 of a method of meas
uring combustion in the tissues, the
basal metabolism, which opened
whole branch of medical science"
he says.

on the second diamond West showed
out, diScarding small heart.
Mr.. Gum led his ace and king of
clubs-and on the second club, West
was forced to discard a heart.
Mr.. Gum had a perfect reading
on the West hand. West had showed
out of both clubs and diamonds, and
as East had shown out of spades,
the nine and seven of spades we're
located definitely in the West hand,
leaving nothing else that West could
hold but three hearts.
So Mr.. Gum led small heart,
won in dummy with the ace, caShed
his king of hearts, and then led a
small heart from dummy, throwing
West in the lead West was forced
to lead from his nine-seven of
spades into the dumnly's ten-eight.
Here. we find hand in which not
one of the suits would break, but
still the declarer made his slam con.
tract by employing an end play.

CONT RACT
RPWlGE
BY w. E. M'KENNEY

BY w. E. MKENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League
Lave you ever noticed how
= l. often players will complain
about their bad luck, and how the
cards break against them?
Perhaps some of these complaints
are warranted. But quite often
sound reasoning and good card
playing will Offset apparently bad
breaks.
Take, for example, the following
hand that was played at the close
of the season of the Cleveland
Inter-Club Whist League.
At practically every table. North
and South arrived at a contract of
SIX no trumps. and it was surpris-
ing to note that only one pair made
their contract-the rest complained
about their bad breaks.
G. E. Gum, a young tournament
player of Cleveland, was the one
declarer who found the way to make
his contract.
South bid one club. West passed
and North bid one spade. Mr..
Gum in the South made a con-
Structive bid of two diamonds and
North then bid two hearts, endea-
voring to fill the heart suit for his
partner in the hope that the hand
could be played for a slam.
Mr.. Gum then bid two no trumps,
North bid three spades, Mr.. Gum
Did three no trumps and North went
TO six no trumps.
A spade was opened against Mr..
Gum and he allowed it to ride
around to his queen. A diamond
was played and won in dummy with
the king.
Mr.. Gum tried for a spade break
by leading the ace and king, but
on the second spade East showed
out, discarding a club.
MIR. QUINN tried to see If the
4V1 diamond suit would break, and
took two rounds Of diamonds, but

THE GARDEN CLUBS.

An announcement by the Woodbridge
Garden Club states that the annual
narcissus show will be held in the
Woodbridge branch of the Public Library

That the local garden clubs are adopt

staged on May l.
The regular monthly meeting will be
held Monday evening, at which time

narcissus show will be held in April
and at the Takoma Park branch of the

high in the first' show Of the season
and should be unusually so this year
because of the many new varieties pur-
chased last year. The exhibit is opened
to all local growers whether or not
members.

GARDEN NOTES.

Discarded metal cans are fairly de-
sirable containers, according to the re-
suits of comparative tests of various
types of plant containers at one of the
agricultural experiment stations. The
metal side walls prevent a loss of mois-
ture very noticeable in the ordinary
flower pot This evidence supports the
statement of H. C.. Heffner, who re-
ported at the January meeting Of the
Takoma Horticultural Club that he had
found glazed pots much superior to
porous pots for plants in the home. The
only objection to tin cans is their ap-
pearance, a condition that could be
remedied by selection of uniform cans
and painting the exterior surfaces. Tin
cans should be punctured through the
base to allow drainage.
AS a good beginning in the battle
against rose blackspot, it is well to
gather the old leaves and prunings
rather carefully and burn them. BY so
doing many of the alternating spores
will be destroyed.
The hardness displayed by the mar
cissus, tulips and other Spring bulbs is
truly remarkable The early yellow
trumpet narcissus. golden spur, has
been in bloom since February in sunny
locations, and in the meantime has
withstood safely all the various types of
weather. The snow of last Saturday
caused no injury to any of these early
visitors.
Garden fertilizers are Of course,
highly beneficial when used in proper
quantities, but may, on the other hand,
be actually injurious if used too freely.

THE ROSE BED.

In late Autumn many experienced
rose growers mounded their tender
varieties with soil or peat moss to pro-
tect the plants from extreme tempera-
lures. Fortunately no such troubles
were experienced and now the soil
should be leveled again and spaded
lightly in making preparation for
Spring growth. Roses never really rest
in this climate and each extended warm
spell of Winter causes the buds to ex-
pand and even break into small leaves
For this reason it is well to defer final
pruning until about April /, so that one
can be assured that the buds left will
actually survive. The degree of prun-
ing depends greatly on the type of rose
and the purpose for which grown.
Hard pruning means less blooms, but
longer stems and larger flowers, and is
necessary for the production of speci-
men blooms for the flower shows. The
reduction in blooms per plant can be
