Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.

race issuing from different ancestral
stocks.
The widely accepted idea that virus
diseases always confer immunity against
. second attack was disputed in a re-
port to the National Academy from DR..
Simon Elexner Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute for Medical Research. There are
exceptions to the rule in all sorts Of
virus diseases, he said, including the
dreaded infantile paralysis.
This malady has been prevalent
throughout the world during the past IS
years, DR.. Flexner said, and in all this
time about dozen cases Of reinfection
have been reported in the medical liter
ature. Even If these are only o fraction
Of the number of cases that actually
have occurred, they demonstrate that
reinfection is possible, even If unlikely.
'The phenomenon" said DR.. Flexner
in his report to the National Academy,
"is an important one from both prac-
tical and theoretical considerations. The
manner Of infection in infantile paraly-
sis is peculiar in that the virus, which
enters the body from the nose, uses the
nerve Of smell exclusively In order to
reach the brain and spinal cord. In fol-
lowing this nerve route, it avoids coming
into direct relation with the protective
blood immunity substances which are
developed In man and monkey from an
attack Of the disease.
There are dificulties surrounding the
detection Of undoubted second attack Of
infantile paralysis In human beings. No
such difficulty exists in respect to mon
keys. Hence the manner in which these
secondary attacks arise can be most
completely studied In the disease as ex.
perimentally induced in monkeys. Old
World monkeys are subject to innocula-
tion with the virus Of poliomyelitis
dropped into the nose, which then passes
to the central nervous organs by way
Of the nerves Of smell and produces in
them pathological effects, attended by
symptoms corresponding to those pres
ent in persons attacked by the disease.
When the monkeys recover from an ex-
perimentally induced infection they are
comparable to human beings who have
recovered from the disease.
Monkeys which have passed success
fully through mild and severe attacks Of
poliomyelitis have been subjected to re-
installation Of the virus into the nose
and the effects studied. The first indi-
cation of infection can be detected in
the cerebrospinal fluid, where cellular
and chemical changes occur. This deli
cate index enables the experimenter to
follow the action of the iflstilled virus
from the first influence through the SUBJ
sequent events, which may or may not
lead to q typical second. paralytic attack
Of the disease.
"The response Of these recovered mon
keys to virus strains Of different origins
and Of varying activity or virulence can
thus be determined, as can the existence
Of durable or only partial and passing
immunity in the animals previously
affected"

A definite correlation between body
form and brain. often asserted on super
ficial evidence and as often denied. was
reported to the National Academy Of
Sciences here last week by DR.. w. B.
Pillsbury, University Of Michigan psy-
chologist.
He analysed the relative success in
college work Of the three dominant types,
into one or another Of which all human
beings fall. These are the long-headed,
slender, relatively tall individuals. the
asthenics; the long-headed, tall. broad
shouldered athletic type, and the So
called pyknics, who are round d-headed,
relatively short and inclined to corpu-
lence.
These three types, first described by
the German psychologist Kretschmer,
have been made the subject Of numer-
Gus intensive comparative studies with
somewhat ambiguous results. DR.. Pills
bury classified nearly thousand stu.
dents into these types from gymnasium
measurements and then checked their
records In college. He found that the
short, heavy man definitely Is not as sue
cessful as the tall, slim individual. Tne
correlation was confirmed by the TACT
that two or three times as many pyknlcs
dropped out before completing the col
lege course and that their average stand
ing was considerably lower.
Not body form itself, but some un-
known factor that affects both body form
and brain. Is probably responsible" Prof.
Pillsbury concluded. The lower degree
Of success In college work, it was stressed
did not necessarily indicate poorer IN.
telligence for the short, stout individuals.
College success may be correlated with
numerous other factors.
In the past body form has been cor
related most successfully with person.
ality differences. The asthenic tends
to be serious, intense, moody and sub
jective. The pyknic, on the other hand,
tends to be light-hearted, social and
objective.
The differentiation has been carried
physical and mental diseases. The
asthenic Is likely to contract tubercu-
losis, while the pyknic falls victim more
readily to the degenerative diseases OF
middle age. The asthenics outnumber
the pyknics in such forms of insanity as
dementia precox, while the short, stout
persons are more likely to develop the
various forms Of maniac Oppressive
pSychoSis.
There may have been originally ra-
cial differentiation. The asthenic type
the athletic may be only a variation OF
it-tends to predominate in the Nordic
and Mediterranean divisions Of the white
race, while the pyknic seems to center
In the Alpine peoples Of Central Europe.
Through hundreds of generations, how
ever, these have been 50 intermixed that
the racial distinction largely has dis
appeared.
Today clear-cut asthenic or pyknic
types are relatively rare. Most persons
fall barely on one or another side Of
the line and can be classified only by
accurate physical measurements. None
theless, the differentiation may consti-

Reforming" the League.

While the fate Of the League hangs in
the balance, pending reconsideration of
the Italo-Ethiopian situation, ardent
heart-searching as to the cause Of igno-
minious failure in that crisis is now in
progress. Prime Minister Baldwin dis
closes that Britsin's chief desire is to
revise the international body on lines
designed to bring the United States,
Germany and Japan into 1t. In order to
make it truly world league, Mr.. Bald
win comedies the necessity Of drastic
changes, particularly respecting sane
tons and measures against an aggressor
now provided for in Article 16. The
prime minister conveys the impression
that the British are momentarily more
concerned with widening the member
ship of the League than with strength
ening its powers.
A direct appeal for American adhesion
was uttered in the House of Lords by
Lord Dickinson, church leader. In
burst Of optimism that sounds strange in
this country, Lord Dickinson expressed
the belief that "the moment has arisen
when it might be possible to induce the
American people to reconsider their atti-
tude toward the League" The noble
peer thinks that If President Roosevelt
is reelected. "the United States might
accept its share Of responsibility in the
international life of the world" Prime
Minister Baldwin, conceding that Gene
vas cardinal venture in collective action
had proved abortive, stresses the difn-
culties in enforcing sanctions SO long
as powers like the United States, Ger
many and Japan are outside the League.
Taking a realistic view of recent sorry
events, Mr.. Baldwin argues that the
League effort to check italy was, after
all, experimental; that it was tried
out to the very end, and that as 1t proved
incapable of achieving its object, COM
mon sense now requires that the whole
question be re-examined in the cold
light of experience and remedial steps
considered. The prime minister rejects
the theory that collapse Of this first
experiment DEGREES the end Of the League
system. He declines to rule out military
sanctions, holding they are an essential
part of collective security, but insists
that in future the British Navy must not
bear a disproportionate share Of respon-
sibilities and risks.
The Leagues exhibition Of futility in
curbing Mussolini has notoriously dimin-
ished the little faith left in this country
in Geneva's ability to function as a
peace-preserving institution. Here and
there some American sentiment in favor
of entry into the League may still exist,
but Europeans sadly delude themselves
if they believe there is any preponderant
public opinion along that line. Any can
didate for the presidency who advocated
the United States entry into the League
would invite overwhelming popular re-
buke. The American people were prob
ably never more determined than today
to attend to their own knitting, main
tain national defense at the acme OF
adequate preparedness, contribute their
utmost to the program Of disarmament
and promote world economic welfare
through wise reciprocal tariff agree
ments. But the country is in no mood
to embroil itself, directly or indirectly,
in the quarrels of Europe, with their
abiding threat Of war.

OVERCOME BY GAS

DR.. T. ]. Moynihan, of st. Paul,
brother of DR.. A. p. Moynihan, of
this city, met with an unusual ex-
perience when called on a case
sometime ago. According to the St.
Paul Dispatch father arriving at
home found his three children I'M
conscious from the fumes Of gas.
He Immediately called DR.. Moyn-
Than and then was also overcome
by the gas fumes. When DR.. Moyn-
Than arrived he took the children
to the bathroom, opened the win
dows and closed the door, and took
the father out on the porch; he
called the police ambulance and
then also passed out under the gas.
The police ambulance arrived with
oxygen equipment and all were
saved. The Doctor was i'll for three
or four days. The gas was caused
from an oil stove which had been
placed in the basement of the
home.
