Greatest Need
For Body Fuel
In Springtime

BUFFALO, N. Y, April ID
(UP)-It takes more food for the
human body during the spring
than at any other time of the
year, according to results of an
experiment conducted at the Uni
versity Of Buffalo.
The experiment, held under
controlled conditions, was super
vised by DR.. Julia f. Lockwood
of the univcrsity's physiology de-
partmcnt. Four medical students
submitted themselves as "human
guinea pigs and remained in an
air-conditioncd room at the uni
versity for year.
The temperature of the room
was kept as uniform as possible
throughout the year and food al
lotments were regulated accord
ING to calorie. content. After de-
Gliding on diets for each day OF
the first week, the students re-
mained on the same diet for the
entire year.
Despite the fact that food and
tcmperature were held constant,
it was shown that more units Of
food we're required during the
spring than at any other time to
maintain the energy needs of the
