Research Finds Genius as
Often in Girls as in Boys

After studying the intelligence
and special abilities of 14,149 boys
and 13,493 girls Prof. Paul A. Witty
Of the psycho-medical clinic of
Northwestern university SCOTS at
the widely held assumption that
genius is more likely to be found
among males than females. If other
investigators differed with him it
is because they limited their studies
to such special fields as art and
science ard because they dealt with
but few gifted children.
Out of the thousands that he rated
Professor Witty found only Al boys
and As girls who could be classed as
geniuses. Next came an alert, gifted
class that numbered 250 boys and
pa girls. And in the rear trailed
the hundreds and hundreds doomed
to plod on as more or less average
men and wOmen.-New York Times

Organized Crime Old

Organized crime is not new. Fifty
years ago Chicago had several hun
dred pickpockets, few of whom ever
spent a day in jail in a decade be
cause they were never caught with
the loot, having passed it to a con
federate. Each telephoned his at
torney every hour. Failure to do 50
meant he was arrested and his law

a writ of habeas corpus and obtain
his release, sometimes as often az

Getting Out of Bed

THERE has been a feeling for
l. some time in the minds of many
surgeons that patients after severe
illness should be sitting up and ac-
tually getting out on their feet for
a few minutes daily, much sooner
than is usually the case at present.
Thus in appendix cases, opera
tions on the stomach and gall blad-
der, or repairing a hernia or rup-
ture, DR.. A. Chalier, Lyons, France,
states that he gets his patients up
between the third and fifth day
that is to say, as soon as the shock
following operation has passed off.
For the first few days, of course,
the patient only stays up 10 to 80
minutes.

eaten will prevent any gain in
weight, and after a time will bring
about a loss of the fat tissue
(Which will be used as fuel for the
body's needs).
Source of Nervousness.
Now when the overweight begins
doing without his or her usual
amount of starch or sugar foods,
one of the first symptoms noticed
is a weak or nervous feeling. This
is because the amount of sugar in
their blood or tissues is not as
much as usual; it is the sugar that
gives the energy-the feeling of
strength 1t is only natural then
that they turn to starch or sugar
foods again and many of them give
up the whole idea of trying to re-
duce weight.
However, the very fact that sugar
is so helpful in overcoming this
nervous or weak feeling, has been
used by some physicians in reduc-
ing the weight in their patients.
Thus with the usual amount Of
food cut down by one-quarter to
one-half, when the patient begins to
feel nervous or weak, he is given
some Sugar-candy or in some 9th
er form-and this overcomes the
weakness or nervousness until the
regular meal time arrives.
In the Medical Journal and Rec
ord, Drs. Y. Yoshida and |. J. Rob-
erts record their method of reduc-
ing weight, which consists of cut
ting down the usual diet by about
one-half and giving deXtrose (sugar)
when there are symptoms of fatigue,
hunger, nervousness or weakness
the result of an insufficient amount
of sugar in the blood.
Doctors Daily Plan.
Their daily plan is as follows:
The daily diet consists Of clear
soup, a liberal helping of vegeta-
bles, two or three pieces of bread
and butter, one average portion of
meat, two glasses of milk and one
orange.
In addition the patient takes
about one ounce of deXtrOse daily
in the form of pleasantly favored
lOZengeS-each lOZenge containing
about a half teaspoonful-one loz-
enge being dissolved in the mouth
every half hour from 8 80 to II 100
a. NJ, 2:30 to 5 80 p. m. Liquids
must be cut down as much as pos
sible and only five glasses-water,
tea, coffee, soft or hard drinks or
any other form of liquid-are to be
taken daily. Absolutely no food
should be taken between meals eX-
cept the deXtrose mentioned above.
Moderate exercise in the form of
walking is advised but no severe
gymnastic exercises.
Thus while sugar is fattening and
must be cut down in all reducing
diets, yet using piece of candy, a
chocolate bar, or banana (the
meat of which is rapidly turned
into sugar. when that hungry, nerv-
Gus, weak feeling comes, not only
overcomes this feeling, but is really
safeguard whilst reducing.
The use of an alkali-common
baking soda is always at hand
prevents the acidOsis which occurs
during the reduction of weight; a
level teaspoonful two or three times
a day in a half glass of water is
sufficient.

Commissioner Michael A. Connor has caused a comprehensive plan to be arranged so that nine safety lanes will cover the different sec tions of the state between now and July 11th, completing in that period the mechanical inspection of all cars registered this year.
 The local inspection lane will be open for public service on Tues day, April 14tt, and will be operated daily from 9 a. m. to 6 p. fI1., ex. cept Sundays and holidays, up to and including July 11th. A crew of nine men will be stationed at the local lane and Commissioner Coflnor believes the experience of last year justifies the assurance to the public that no longer waits will be required unless the patron- age of the lane is crowded into Q few hours each day.
 List of Towns
 The local lane will be expected to serve the following communities: Waterbury, Bethlehem, Cheshire, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Prospect, Southbury, Watertown, Wolcott and Woodbury. The motor vehicle com- missioner has estimated that the nine inspection groups will make approximately 100000 checkups of motor vehicles before the work is completed for the year, each motor vehicle registered in the state be- ing required by law to be presented twice this year for official approval of it's mechanical condition. This estimated total includes the original inspections and the rechecks re- quired because of rejections.
 The Hartford and New Haven lanes will be permanent setups from March 10th to July 1lth. The other nine stations named will be discon- tinued at intervals to permit the lanes to be moved to other locations in the state for the convenience of the motorists living in those sections.
 The various districts will operate different lengths of time, Hartford and New Haven being the only per- rnanent lanes. The schedule for the first half-year is as follows:
 Nearby Stations
 Station No. 1-IIartford, March 10th to July 11th.
 Station No. 2-New Haven, March 10th to July 11th.
 Station No. 3-Ansonia, March 10th to April 7th.
 Station No. 10-Winsted, May 18th to May 23rd.
 Station No. 12-Torrington, June 11th to July 1lth.
 Station No. 13-Bristol, March 10th to April 11th.
 Station No. 14-Waterbury, April 14th to July 11th.
 Station No. 18-Meriden, March 10th to April 18th.
 All of the stations will operate on the above schedule barring some major occurrence which will com pei a change in location or plans. The stations will open at g o'clock each morning, except Sunday and certain holidays, and close at 6 o'clock each evening. The sched- ule and district setups have been planned to serve each section geo. graphically and according to the registrations of the various towns. Commissioner Connor is confident there will be no waits for the mo- torists if the response is what 1t should be.

SPELLACY BROWNS
 ON 'JUNKET TRIP
Fails to Approve of Re- quest For $2OO For
 Board to Visit Cities

Hartford's board of assessors may never get to Waterbury to make an ofiicial study of the system used in the local municipal assessment de- pertinent. Yeterdsay afternoon Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy of Hart ford, at a meeting of the Capitol City board of assessors, opposed a request that $2OO be set up to pay the expenses of the travelling asses sors, expressing the opinion that the thing would be nothing more than c "jtinket trip".. The Hatford assessors had also planned to il- pect systems in use in New Haven, Bridgeport, New Britain and Stam- ford.
 Assessor George F. Kinsella ap- peared at the Hartford fianance board meeting yesterday and asked for transfer of $20O from the sal- ary account of the board of assess ors to 8 special item to take care of the assessors expenses while travelling about the state. "Persorl- ally think 1t is a jtinket trip and the city of Hartford should not pay for junket trips" remarked Mayor Spellacy.
 He expressed the opinion that the assessors could obtain the informa- ton from the office of the state tax commissioner or at the state conferences held periodically by the assessors of Connecticut. Assessor Kirsella insisted that a first-hand inspection of the various systems is necessary 50 Mayor Spellacy sug- gested that the assessors travel at their own expense. The request for the trasfer of the $200 was tabled.
