President Roosevelt let 1t be known
today his attitude toward the new
Cuban government, headed by DR..
Ramon Grau San Martin, depends on
whether it has the support of the people
there.
While keeping the strong Navy forces
trimmed about the island in readiness
to portect American lives in event OF
outbreak there, itw as said at the White
House that the President Is ready to
support that government in Cuba which
is the choice of the people and can
maintain order. So the present atti-
tude remains one of watchfulness.
If the new President and his forces
are able to keep order. it appears the
Roosevelt administration will not hesi-
tate to proffer recognition. There is no
certainty that this test has been met
yet. however.

ministration has no intention OF inter-
vention if it can possibly be avoided.

CHICAGO, September Ill That
clutch the heart feeling at an unex-
pected pistol shot is worst when the
bang sounds just as the heart starts to
contract.
At other periods in its beat the heart
is braver, because it can better with
stand the "startle" sensation which the
brain telegraphs throughout the body.
This was shown at the American
Psychological Association today by DR..
Carney Lands Of the Psychiatric Insti-
tute, Columbia University, with elec-
trical records of heart beats, breathing
and the electrical currents which run
through the human skin.
He found that there is a rhythm OF
internal organs which seems to begin
with the heart and which tends to pro-
tect them from the full effects of a
"startle" sensation. At certain instants
in this rhythm the organs appear to be
open to the full force of a frightening
impulse. But at others the rhythm
partly blocks the passage.
The startling was done with pistol
shots, sudden yells. auto horns. bells
