Your
Health
By
DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

THE pioneer advocate of diets
l. with lots of roughage was Syl-
vester Graham, who lived from
1874 to 1851. Graham flour and
graham crackers are named after
him.
Since his time, bran has been
regarded as useful in the human
diet, particularly for its laxative
effect.
A few years ago, veritable bran
craze swept the country Newspa-
pers teemed with recommendations
| for baking bran mullins. bran bis
cults, and all sorts of other bran
products.
In general, however, doctors are
opposed to the habitual use of bran
as laxative. For a person with
an irritable bowel. it is certain to
lead to still further irritation. Peo-
pie with colitis ought never to take
bran.
There are, of course, some cases
of constipation which are due to
an insufficient amount of roughage
in the diet. In these cases, bran
may be taken. but only as the doc
| tor recommends.
INCIDENTALLY, the n e &C e sary
l. cellulose or fiber may be had in
other forms.
Most vegetables, fruits. and
whole grain cereals. for instance,
contain cellulose. which lends bulk
to the material in the bowel. and
gives the intestines something ito
work on"
Cellulose in lettuce, fruits, and
cooked vegetables may be partially
digested; in general, though, 1t is
not digested at all. Cellulose is
found also in potatoes, beans and
nuts. in which it is utilized as
roughage.
This cellulose in food products is
| the same celluloSe that is found in
cotton, and in paper obtained from
wood
When water acts on ceilulose,
the latter swells, which increases
its bulk still further.
One of the disadvantages of too
much cellulose in the diet is the
fact that it may irritate a sensitive
intestine.

EX-SOLDIER WOULD AID

Comrades, now that the bonus
war is won, what do you say, let
each and every one of us help a
loyal friend of ours with his war.
We all know how much good he did
for us; let's each and every one send
at least 81 to Father Coughlin.

lation of the law in that they were

Criticism of brutality, mistreatment,
bad food, unsanitary conditions--or
anything of that haracter-could

penitentiary sentences"
This bill must be defeated in the

Those who raise the cry that the

ought to study the record. Since the
beginning of the republic, Congress
has enacted some 24.300 public laws.
Of gil these laws, only 81 have been

TODAY'S SCIENCE

ESPITE statements of eminent
81 pianists to the contrary, the
tone produced by striking given
key on a piano is the same no mat
ter in what manner the key is
struck. Ignace PaderesWki is the
notable exception among the must
clans who cling to the idea that in
some manner the way the key is
struck influences tone.
New research on this finding,
which has been center of argu-
ment between physicists and musi-
clans for years, was presented be-
fore the Franklin Institute by Prof.
Charles Weyl of the University of
Pennsylvania school of electrical
engineering.
Key demonstration of Prof. Weyl
was a giant model of the action of
a grand piano consisting of one
key, one hammer and one string.
With it he was able to show that
after striking the key musician
has no more control over the tone
than a markSman has over a bullet
after he has pressed the trigger of
his gun.
According to musicians views,
tone and loudness are separate fac
tors controlled by the manner of
depressing the piano keys. Scien-
lists claim that both tone and loud
ness are determined simultaneously
by the piano key Only the velocity
of the hammer at the instant of
striking the string is determined by
the key. And the same tone and
loudness can be produced by any
method which would yield the same
velocity of impact.
DROF. WEYL showed a "mechani-
l. cal pianist" in mechanism
which produced more accurately and
repeatedly given tone than any
pianist could do. In fact" said
Prof. Weyl, the device is able to
produce many more graduations of
tone than the most comp etent
pianist, no matter how great his
technique"
The mechanical pianist also DEM
onstrated for the audience grada-
tons of tone so small that no ear
could detect them; yet they were
visible on an oscillograph.
Another demonstration with
mechanical striker indicated that
the same tone could be produced by
three different methods of striking
piano key, corresponding to three
different methods of human touch.

HEAR there are a great number
- of these nomad muralists drift
ing here and there. They are a
good deal like the early American
wanderers who painted the print
tives now collected with zeal from
the nations attics and barn lofts.
These artists were more respon-
sible, however, than the Plainfield
problem-painter. They had studios
and in winter would paint any num-
Der of pictures of shoulders and
bodies-clothed. of course-both men
and women.
Next spring out they would 20,
paints and canvases on their Shout
ders, and make the rounds of farm
houses, If they could agree on a price
the lady or man of the house
sometimes both-would sit and the
artist would paint his subjects face
in over the body he painted last
winter.
Now they're museum pieces. Some
young person ought to collect him
self a lot of poolroom walls and sit
back and wait. In his old age he
might be feted as the greatest critic

Squaring
The Circle
With
THE HOOsIER EDITOR

A MAN walked into the Busy
L n Bee Restaurant at Plainfeld
the other day and asked if he could
paint picture on something for
his breakfast. The proprietor said
he could so he picked up piece of
cardboard, opened his grip, and
painted picture of the Alps. 1t
was nice.
The proprietor. who says he
doesn't know art but knows what
he likes, liked it and fed him. After
he had eaten, the man, whose name
was Peter, said that if the restau-
rant man wanted him to he would
stay around and paint a while.
He painted some boats on the ice
box door; some mountains on the
wall; some sunsets on the mirror. 1t
looked like an art gallery when he
was through, and the pictures were
all pretty good.
So the restaurant man gave him
So or SO and the artist went out
and got plastered in all primary
colors-so plastered that the Busy
Bee man had to see that he was
housed for the night, else he might
have frozen.

MEANWHILE the pool-room man
A'A next door saw the murals and
wanted some. Draw trade, he said.
So next morning he engaged Peter
and Peter, with hangover, painted
the works for him. He painted gals
in canoes, and mountains, and an
airplane or so. He painted so much
he earned SIS, was paid, and got
plastered.
1t was several days later that
the Busy Bee man and the poo.-
room owner gathered Peter to-
gether, gave him his belongings, saw
that he had several dollars still
left, and put him on an outbound
bus
He never returned and they think
of him a lot.

M'CIVNEY CIRCLE
 ELECTION TONIGHT
New Staff of Officers to Be Named-May Postpone
 the Outing

Possible postponement of the an- nual family outing of Michael Mc- Givney Circle, 124, Columbian Squires, until the early part of October may be suggested to mem bers tonight at the regular meeting, which will be held in the Columbus club, 79 North Main street, at 8 o'clock.
 It had been planned to hold the event this Sunday at Peoples State Forest in Barkhamstead. Owing to the fact that closing exercises in the mission now being conducted at the Church of the Immaculate Concep- ton will be held Sunday afternoon for women and the following Sun day afternoon for men. 1t may be necessary to set the outing date for Sunday, October II.
 Action on this matter will be taken when the report of the out ing committee is submitted tonight by Chairman James Arnold. A good

Five Courses Less
 As Wesleyan Opens
Two New Studies Added to Curriculum Initial Ses.
 siOns TOday-OxfOrd System Modified

Middletown, Conn, Sept. 2s-Wes- leyar university starts its 106th year today with five fewer courses in its curriculum than in 1935-1936, although two new year cvourses have been added, inclduing a modification of the Oxford tu- torial plan.
 Additions to the faculty this year include Dr. John H. Woldenden, of Exeter College, Oxford, England as Frank B. Weeks visiting professor of chemistry for the first half of the first semester; Dr. Mortimer c. Bur- ford End, Wesleyan '32, who taught at Cornell last year as instructor in chemistry: pr. Eugene Aine Joliat, formerly instructor in French at McMaster university, as instructor In Romance Languages, Clarence D. Long, Jr., of Princeton, as instruc- tor in romance languages; Clarence D. Long, IT,, of Princeton, as in- Structor in Economies; Taulman A. Miller, a former grade student at Yale and more recently a member of the Connecticut department of labor, as instrdouction in Eco- monies; Vern w. Robinson, grad uate assistant at the Unicersity of Illinois last year, as instructor in German; H Leland Varley '34, as teaching fellow in English.
 System Studied
 Impressed by the Oxford system during his 1885 visit to the English university, President James L. Mo- Conaughy has caused a somewhat similar idea to be adopted at Wes- leyan. This special program of in- dependent study under tutorial di- rection will be open to a limited number of high-stand sophomores. The immediate aim of the plan is to unify students whole program of study by attempting to correlate the work of three or four of his courses. Each tutorial program will be designed to meet the individual students needs and interests and consist of planned readings, weekly conferences with the tutor and writ ten reports. There will be no final examination or assigned grades, the student merely being reported as satisfactory" or unsatisfactory. A satisfactory report will bring credit for six hours and grade equal to the average grade of his four courses.
 The general purpose of the plan IS to foster in the student critical and independent attitudes of study and to assist him in the development of analytical and generalized modes of thought. Professor John w. Spaeth. Dr. Paul A. Reynolds and Victor L. Butterf1eld will be in charge of the work.
 Dr. Bancroft w. Sitterly will have a new course this year in "The

Physical Universe, which will give an introduction to physics and as- tronomy, using lectures, textbooks, assignments, demonstrations and probably talking films.
 The elementary course in public speaking in semester course in- stead of year course this year. Ex- tensive use will be made of the new speech-recording equipment in the speech studio in Scott laboratory, and a one-hour course in public speaking will be offered to seniors who have not had an earlier op- portunity in the college course to secure this training.
 This years curriculum includes much more interdepartmental tn- struction than formerly; the soph- omore tutorial work is interdepart- mental, Prof. Sitterly's course covers the fields of at least two science de- partments, and Dr. Sigmund Neu- mann's seminar is part of the offer ing of three different departments.

State Representative


 are being forced to fight for re- nomination while others reported as being in a receptive mood in clude Joseph Neal, ST., Richard Dufkin, Joseph w. Reynolds and Thomas P. Reilly.
 Representative Jackson is said to stand in more favor with "the powers that be" than does Rep. McDermott. The latter was the more active of the two in the 1885 session of the legislature, however, and was instrumental in having the state highway departments attention called to Dead Mans Curve on the Naugatuck- Water bury highway. The democratic convention to nominate for the house of representatives takes place on Tuesday, October 9th, and it promises to be a hectic one.
 The third congressional district convention of the republican party, originally scheduled for this Saturday, has been put over until Tuesday, the 29th. The change in date was necessary due to the fact that there are five with their eyes on the congress sional nomination. Party chief tains, knowing the value of a united front, want sufficient time to iron out the matter and thus prevent bitter fight at the con- vention.
 As previously reported. ex-May- or James A. Fully of New Haven is said to have the lead in the race. However, packers of former Republican Town Chairman. Jo- seph F. Morrissey of New TIa- ven dispute this claim. Morris sey ran two years ago and was defeated. A third New Havener in the race is Michael D. Me- Govern, former director of public works during the Fully admins tratiOn. Next comes Robert Hodge, West Haven manufacturer. Those opposed to his nomination maintain that he is ineligible be- cause of the fact that he is presidential elector on the g. O. D. state ticket. The fifth man is former Congressman. n.at-Large c. w. Bakewell. His support re- mains in New Haven business cir cles rather than among political leaders.
 A new group is about to be formed in the Milford republican ranks. The new facticn will be opposed to the "Old Guard" and also to the political methods en- ployed by the Guyott- Field forces. generally termed the 'New
 Guard" Guyott is involved in a stiff race with Judge Claude V. Badger of Wolcott and Represen- tative Clarence Baldwin of Wood bridge for the g. o. p. senatorial nomination in the 14th district.
 The republicans of West Haven will open their newly decorated headquarters tonight. Herbert B. Phelps heads the committee in charge of the "open house" pro- gram that will be conducted. Party leaders from other towns in the vicinity are expected to par ticipate.
 Warden Dennis J. Hennessey looms as the possible choice for chairman of the Wallingford democratic town committee. The committee will meet tonight to elect chairman to fill the va cancy caused recently by the sud- dent death of Edward F. Kav- anaugh. Hennessey, relatively newcomer in politics, has gained considerable strength among the town committee members since his election as warden of the bor- vugn last .sa-i.
