The first symptom of the breaking
mind is lack Of orientation in time.
Such is the thesis presented to the
American Psychiatric Society by Dr.
Max Levin of the Harrisburg, Pa, State
Hospital. DR.. Levin describes this symp-
tom as "rudimentary delirium." The
characteristic of delirium is lack of
orientation and when the condition is
complete the victim not only is disori-
ented in time, but in ability to recognize
persons or places.
Said DR.. Levin I'VE can understand
why in partial delirium 1t is the sphere
of time which bears the brunt Of dis
orientation. This is the most complex
of the three types of orientation and
hence is the most easily disturbed. The
last to be acquired it is the first to be
lost and the last to be regained."
The significance of this, DR.. Levin
pointed out, is that while one might be
we'll oriented as to person and place, he
still might be suffering from partial
delirium, or incipient delirium. The
relative ease with which orientation for
time is lost is, he said, in keeping with
the theory that in uniform dissolution
of the nervous system the degree of dis
turbance of functions varies as their
degree of complexity varies, the most
complex functions being disturbed first
and most.
Information with temperatures run
ming as low as 26 below zero F. doesn't
injure some arm-blooded animals.
This is notably the case with the
common brown bat, described by DR..
Alexander Wetmore, assistant secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, in the
current issue of the Journal of the Amer
ican Society of Mammalogists.
The study came about largely by acci-
dent One evening in early December
DR.. Wetmore let down the awning over
one of the windows of his Office in the
National Museum. AS he did so bat
fell from one of the canvas folds, par
TALLY benumbed by cold. Apparently
it had chosen the window awning for its
Winter sleep.
alternating animals usually know
what they are doing, but it seemed
doubtful whether any warm -blooded
creature could remain alive throughout
a severe Winter in such a place To
test this out DR.. Wetmore placed on the
window ledge small, ventilated box. A
double layer of soft wooden blanket was
tackled along one side and the bat placed
head down within the folds. This was
approximately duplication, so far as
temperature was concerned, of the quar-
terS the creature had chosen for itself
in the fold of the canvas awning. Then
a thermometer was inserted in the box
with a long scale which could be read
from the outside. The entire arrange
ment was intended to stimulate the con-
ditions that bat might encounter in a
tree hollow partially filled with rubbish
and with small external opening. The
box was exposed to the sweep Of cold
west and northwest winds.
Then, throughout the Winter, DR..
Wetmore recorded the temperature of
the bats sleeping quarters every morn
ing. During the four Winter months the
readings ran from approximately %
degrees above zero F. to 26 below. A
thermometer outside the box recorded
about the same range Of temperatures

Rapid Transit Fares,

A proposal for revision of the rapid
transit fare schedule has been pre-
sented to the Rapid Transit Commission
by the Capital Transit Company which
will now be taken into consideration and
weighed with numerous considerations
affecting the decision. The proposition
of the company is for the abolition of
the weekly pass, an increase of token
rate from seven and a half to eight and
a half cents, a uniform cash rate of ten
cents on all lines and the abolition of
transfer charges. 1t is estimated that
these changes, if approved, would cost
the local travelling public approximately
e431 900 additional annually.
These proposals grow out of the recent
acquisition of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company by the larger unit and
are likewise factor in the effort of the
Capital Transit Company to increase the
number of one-man cars on its lines.
They will be resisted by the car riders.
The Rapid Transit Commission in its
consideration of the application must
take into account the fact that there
is a decided objection on the part of
the patrons of the transit lines to the
one-man car, which is rated by them
as less efficient, less convenient and
in some respects less safe method Of
transport.
Abolition of the weekly pass would
most seriously inconvenience large
number of people, who have found that
system Of material service and has mate
rally increased car and bus riding in

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
One Afternoon.

A truant from my desk on a June day,
I sought my town-parked car and drove
away;
Far out into the country, where the
breeze
Was filled with odors of the fields and
trees.
Shining in sunlight with a brilliant
sheen,
Dipping and rising up, now gray, now
green,
Swayed by the Summer wind as
spun by,
On either side the road great fields Of
rye.
And farther on found q wayside inn
Where food was not Just heated from a
tin;
Then struck a cross-road thru q forest
glade,
Rested awhile in the refreshing shade.
HomeWard I drove beneath q setting sun
Counting my stolen afternoon well done.

Anti-Fascism i'm France.


showing his teeth to the Fascist or semi
Fascist elements which harbor more or
less definite designs upon the republican
regime in France. Boldly accepting
their challenge he has proceeded by
decree to apply the law passed in the
previous Parliament providing for dis
solution of combat groups and militia
The order of prescription directs the Or
ganized forces of the Croix de Feu,
JeunesseS Patriotes, Soldarite FrancalSe
and the Francist party forthwith to dis
band and deSiSt from Subversive efforts.
After these various groups first came
under fire during the late Laval ministry
six months ago, some of them sought
to escape suppression by changing their
names and by other recourseS. But the
Blum government, convinced that aims
and methods remain the same, decided
to resort without further ado to stern
repreSsive measures. The January law,
under which action has been taken, Or
dains that leagues" could be dissolved
which provoke armed manifestations in
the streets, possess a military character
or have for their purpose attempts by
force to alter the form of government.
That the militant elements now under
official ban are not disposed to accept
without protest the order of prescription
is evident from the defiant protest
launched in the name of the CrolX de
Feu, largest and most active of the
Fascist groups, by Colonel de la ROGUE,
its fiery leader. He brands the disSo-
luton of his organization as illegal and
refuses to abide by the order. He
charges that the government action is
equivalent to proclamation OF Socialist
Communist dictatorship and abrogates
Frenchmen's rights of free speech and
meeting Processing to speak for more
than one million men and women, De
la ROGUE foreshadows the creation OF
"a great French party, outside all exist
ing political alignments." 1t will form
its own conclusions, the colonel warns,
and "envisage without flinchlng all the
consequences of our action" There is
the breath of revolution in this mani
feSto.
The Croix de Feu chieftain, World
War veteran and acknowledged leader
of a great body of ex-service men, is
reSolute and resourceful figure. He has
often avowed his readiness to resort
to extremes During the recent parlia-
mentary campaign spokesmen OF the
Popular Front assured the country that
any government which took Office under
its banner would not shrink from steps
to crush reactionary elements, no mat
ter how powerful or truculent. The Blum
government is thus proceeding boldly to
fulfill its election pledge. The energy
with which it met the recent strike
menace justifles the expectation that
action against the Fascist threat. Dan
ger of resultant conflict comedies with
recrudescence of labor unrest. 1t is in
an atmosphere of correspondingly wide
spread domestic explosiveness that
Frances first Socialist government eS-
says the task of carrying out its elaborate
program of political, social, economic
and financial reforms. If M. Blum rides
the storm now brewing, he will promptly
establish himself as one of the strong
