NOT MUCH WORK"
OR LOST ENERGY
IN HARD THOUGHT

Thinking is workout not much.
The housemaid sweeping the col
lege professors study expends more
energy-as measured In heat output
of the body-in three minutes than
the professor himself in an hours
hard thinking, according 4 expert
ments just reported from the nutri-
ton laboratory of the Carnegie insti-
tuition of Washington.
The study was conducted by DR..
Francis G. Benedict, director of the
nutrition laboratory, and COrnelia
G. Benedict, and the report is an
elaboration of preliminary an
nouncement before the National
Academy of Sciences.
The brain worker feels physically
exhausted at the end of hard day.
But, Doctor Benedict finds. he has
done very little actual work" The
bodily heat production, which is q
measure of energy expenditure,
increases only per cent during in
tense mental effort. Merely stand
ing quietly increases it 3 per cent,
sewing ID per cent, busting and
sweeping 40 per cent. Why the
brain worker should feel tired Doc
tor Benedict does not know.
Even the per cent increase, Doc
tor Benedict points out. hardly can
be attributed to the activity of the
IN fol S,f hn
brain cells actually involved in think
ing weighs only about hlndredth
of per cent of the total weight of
the body. If they are responsible
for the measured heat increase it
would mean that hey have a meta
bolic activity 400 times greater than
the average for the entire body.
This is almost unbelievable, he holds,
and consequently attributes the in
creased heat production to slight
muscular movements which probably
accompany thinking.
The popular idea that there are
good 'brain foods" especially fish,
is absurd, Doctor Benedict points
out.
''The long retained idea of the i'm
portance of fish as brain food Is
without basis" he says. '"That lethi-
Gin or other phosphorus rich sub
stance in the brain may possibly par
t;cipate in the mental activity Is
wholly speculative. Certainly there
can be no thought of any correla-
tion between the intact of any phos-
phorus rich material and mental eff
cheney"

This is the eighth consecutive

Fighting upstream, as 1t were, the

upon equaling the record geld of 4lO

task is herculean, but may be accom-

Its 16-tean entry gives the association
leaders q heartening start in what
amounts to q drive to maintain the

sport.

N the final matches the favorites,
with the big crowd swearing by
Kampfer and swearing at Ernie. Against
his huge German foe Rudy Dusek was
at his roughest, dancing around and
driving in his elbows. Kampfer relied
on his remarkable strength, tossing
Rudy around easily when he clamped
his hammy hands upon the Nebraskan.
The end of the feature came in spec
tacular fashion. Rudy, after biting one
of Kampfer's fingers, leaped into the
ropes and, propelled by the momentum,
attempted flying tackle Kampfer,
however, was ready and as Rudy
launched himself, bent down and
heaved upward. Rudy was elevated 5
feet in the air, coming down with a
bang. Four whacking body slams fin
ished the Nebraska roughie. The time
was 81 minutes.

II tacular manner Grobmier's hook
scissors seemed to be a constant
threat and Referee Burns began count
ing over Ernie no less than half dozen

Near the end, Grobmier again fastened
his scissors upon Ernie, but the 23-year-
old Dusek arose, reached up for Fred's
head, and bent forward with Grobby
clinging like a barnacle. Before he
knew it, Fred was counted out while
nearly standing on his head.

rassler, made short work of Jean lie
