the little red poppy of Flanders Fields.
, Inc day will be Poppy Day here and
throughout the United States. Pop
pies will he distributed on the streets
py members of the American Legion
Auxiliary assisted by other volun-
ieers.
The day is the approximate twer-
tleth anniversary of the beginning of
large scale participation of American
troops in the World War, Mrs. l.. D.
Wall, the Auxiliary's Poppy Day chair
man, pointed out. From May until No
vembert 1913, constantly increasing
American forces were in action and
more than $4,000 young Americans
killed on the poppy-studded fields of
France and Belgium.
Early Saturday morning, the Pop
Ply Day forces of the American Lee
glon Auxiliary will go into action, of
fering paper replies of the wild pop
pies of France and Belgium to be
worn in tribute to the war dead. No
price will be asked for the flowers,
but contributions will be received to
help support the Legion and Auxi-
liary work for the disabled veterans
their families and the families of the
dead.
The poppies have been made by dis
abled veterans who have been given
much needed employment during the
winter and spring months Each flow
er has been shaped by hand by the
disabled workers
The Auxiliary is expecting the most
general observance of Poppy Day
since the custom of wearing peoples
in remembrance of the dead was
started at the close of the war. More
than 100000 of the little red flow
ers will be worn and approximately
100000 raised to aid the disabled
veterans and dependent families, Mrs
Wall predicted.
The local committee headed by Mrs.
Wall, includes Mrs. Stanley F. Teiser,
Mrs. j. r. Biller and Mrs Charlie

Hon. the Body Responds
To Electrical Chances
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. ID,

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d.
YESTERDAY we pointed out
that the body is in many respects
an electrical field We can meas
ure changes in potential in a mus
Gle when it contracts. And every
time the heart beats there is shift
Of potential from one side of the
body to the other, and which can
be measured with a sufficiently del
icately galvonometer and used to
study the action of the heart.
Even thought may be accompa-
MED by changes Of the same kind,
and the functions of the brain have
been studied by an electric instru-
ment known as the encephalograph.
These studies and others have
laid the foundation for the electro
dynamic theory Of life proposed by
Northrup and Burr. Connected
up with the newer developments in
physics, it suggests that life is a
manifestation Of energy in which
electric currents play a great
part.
The rhythms of life are easily
measured on the electrical oscillo-
graph. Changes occur at different
times in woman's life cycle, es-
pecially during pregnancy.

The Washington times., 1938-01-05

As a matter of fact this is an
announcement to make your hair
curl. Longer, twinier and softer
is the dictum Of the stylists, tech
nicians, operators and all, who
met last night at the Willard to
draw up the 1888 rules.
All through 1887, it seems, they
monkeyed with the front Of the
head-bangs, puffs, cascades and
what-nots. Apparently one solid
year of looking at the front of the
head, where the face is, drove
them to despair Of doing anything
with 1t.
So now it's the neck that
counts.
They have decided to abandon
the forelock and make a mass at
tack on those wisps that just will
hang over the collar, or weave in
an aerial effect behind.
And they did not forget person
atty! There's a tint, they say,
for every type. So now milady,
OF any other girl, can have her
tint-type taken at a glance from
