a double an" ring name the same
as Jack Dempsey. He has been
hailed the Midland Macer."
Dempsey, you may recall, was
known as the "Manassa Mauler."
Both have had Kearns as manager
and both have seven letters in their
last name.
Carrying this business little fur
ther, you will find that the first
names of ten of the fifteen listed
heavyweight champions of history
began with 81" and three of them
were called James"
The current heavyweight title
holder, Joe Louis, also figures in the
Adamick picture. Jimmy got his
start in the same frame-lifting de-
partment of a Detroit automobile
factory as Joe Louis. So now all
Jimmy has to do is go out and win
the championship.
Doing that, however, promises to
be considerable of a job, particu-
larly in view of Louis recent show
ing when he knocked out husky
Nathan Mann of New Haven, Conn.,,
in less than eight minutes. The
Brown Bomber looked impressive in
his second defense of the title he
won last June from Jim Braddock.
His timing and all-around punching
power were reminiscent of the days
when he was sensational contender
for the title. They made fans forget
his pallid showing against Tommy
Farr last August.

Ships Officer Sees Two
Moons in the Tropics

Washington.-Ordinarily, if sea-
faring man in the tropics sees two
moons he discreetly says nothing
about the matter, lest a cynical
world raise an eyebrow and muir
muir something about too many
swizzles. But Third Officer R. T.
Levin of the American steamer
Workman saw a double image of the
moon recently for which an abnor-
NAL retroactive condition of the
earth's atmosphere was RESPONSE
BILE.
Mr.. Levin observed the strange
phenomenon during a run from Bal
boa, c. T., to San Pedro, Calf,
while his ship was off the tip of
Lower California. The crescent
moon was going down through a
thin haze, when it appeared dou-
BILE, the lower crescent scarcely
touching the upper. Twenty min
utes after he first noticed it, the
moon set, still appearing double.

Role of Glands in
Mental Disease Is
Unsolved Problem
:ience Service.-WNU Service.
By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER

By MARJORIE VAN DE WATER
New York.-One of the most
puzzling problems faced by the
scientist exploring mans mind
is the role played by the power
full glands of the human body.
A matter of demonstrated fact is
the knowledge that these glands
serve as chemical factories, pour
ing out potent substances capable
of changing the whole behavior of
the individual. Presence or lack of
glandular chemical may make a
person energetic or lazy, submis-
sive or rebellious, mentally alert or
stupid.
That the endocrine glands occupy
a place of power in determining
the mental soundness or illness of
the individual has long been sus-
pected by physicians and psychol-
ogists. Glandular disorders have
been noted in the mentally i'll and
to some this has meant that the
glands could be blamed for the men
tai illness. Others, reversing the
relationship, see the emotional
strains of mental disease as effec-
tive in throwing the endocrine sys-
tenn out of balance.
Actual Proof Lacking.
Actually, medical science today
has no crucial evidence of any
cause and effect relationship be-
tween the powerful glands of inter-
nal secretion and mental disease or
mental deficiency, DR.. Hugh T. Car
michael, psychiatrist of the Univer-
sity of Chicago medical school, told
his colleagues at the meeting of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science.
A recent survey showed that of a
group of about 300 mental patients
selected for endocrine diagnosis
and treatment more than third
were so improved that they were
able to leave the institution. But
do not jump to the conclusion that
it was gland treatment that saved
them. Further analysis showed on
ly II per cent of those selected
for endocrine diagnosis actually
had anything wrong with their
glands and less than half of these
had adequate gland treatment. In
addition many of those ''cured" had
had a type of mental disease that
often disappears spontaneously.
Mental disease and mental de-
ficiencies are common. So also are
glandular imbalances. That they
are often found in the same in
dividual could be simply matter
of chance.
The role of the endocrines is still
an unsolved problem and presents
a fruitful field for future research.

Most of Us "Queer"
According to
the Ink Blot Test

Indianapolis.-There is scien-
tific confirmation of the wide
spread idea that most of us are
a bit queer-except me and
thee, of course.
1t has popped up in the queerest
of places, in ink blots that are made
with scientific purpose. 1t is quite
a psychological game, much like
trying to see what you can make OF
the Pickering flames of an open
fire on a cold winters evening, or
what creatures are hiding in the
clouds of summers day.
Your imagination seems to bring
to the surface things you uncon-
sciously subdued. And it seems that
trying to see pictures in smears of
ink or floating clouds or flames may
be quite as dangerous as telling
your dreams to a Freudian.
DR.. James Vaughn of the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati gave the Ror-
schach ink blot test Chats what it is
called, after the psychologist who
devised IT'D to 43 patients in mental
disease hospitals, all of whom had
paranoid tendencies and thought
people were prosecuting them when
they were not. He also gave it to
81 college students.
Difference i'm Degree.
Imagine his surprise when he
found that many of the apparently
normal students showed unusual
character in the forms they saw,
for seeing such forms has been TAX
en- as an indication of mental de-
rangement.
Zone can hardly escape the con-
clusion that insanity is difference
in degree and not in kind DR..
Vaughn told the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
meeting. "The degree seems impor-
tant."
The idea that a thing is bigger
and better just because it belongs
to the Good Old U. S. A. received
support from tests by another psy-
chologist, DR.. Heinz Ansbacher of
Columbia university. He used post
age stamps in his investigations.
After the possible influence of
size, shape, color and otherppost-
age stamp features had been elini-
mated, DR.. Ansbacher was able to
prove that sheer acceptance of the
stamp as a stamp of ones own
country gives it an apparent size
greater than that of the stamp of
some other country.
If the trifing matter of postage
stamp size is affected in this way,
how fundamentally, argues DR.. Ans
bacher, is our personality as
whole determined by the people and
surroundings in which we live and
are reared.

Chest Pains Often Due
to Great Overweight

San Francisco.-Severe chest pain
resembling that of the dread heart
malady, angina pectoris, is in many
cases due to excessive overweight,
DR.. William ]. Kerr, professor of
medicine in the University of Cali
fornia medical school, has found.
The huge pot belly or ebay win
dow of very fat men forces them
to adopt an abnormal posture
which cramps the chest, causing
breathlessness and preventing the
heart from getting a normal supply
of oxygen. Severe pain and low
blood pressure accompany the con-
dition.
The pain and other features clear
up when the weight is reduced and
the posture brought back to nor
NAL, DR.. Kerr found. Diet, exer-
cises and properly fitted abdominal
belts are used in the treatment.

Flight Strips Proposed
on Highways for Airplanes

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES hunts for
landing fields, with the gas getting
low and the fog closing in, may be a
thing of the past for airline pilots,
if the scheme proposed to the thirty
fifth annual convention of the Amer
lean Road Builders association by
Lieut.. Col. Stedman S. Hanks is
adopted. Instead of cruising around
hunting for place to land, pilots
of the future will hunt a highway,
and set their planes down on flight
strips" built beside the main roads
by the highway departments.
Proposed not only as emergency
landing fields, but for the use of
private pilots, these paved strips be-
side main highways, at least 200
feet wide and 1900 feet long, built
and maintained by highway engi-
neers, on state-owned land, may al
so be used as way-stations, from
which air mail and air freight may
be picked up by arrangement.

Speaking of Sports
Farm System
Tuition to
Yank Menace
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

by GEOkGE a. BARCLAY
WITH anti-monopoly and trust
w busting movements abroad in
the land, baseball men generally
would welcome with three rousing
cheers any formula that would eff
fectively break up the pennant
monopoly of the New York Yankees.
Winners of the American league
pennant and the worlds series in
1886 and 1887, Joe McCarthy's YAM
KEGS look like such sure-fire repeat
ers again this year in both fields
that there seems to be little chance
of heading them off.
But in the future it is obvious
that something must be done to
improve other clubs in the Ameri-
can and National leagues-particu-
larly the last three teams in each
circuit-if national interest in the
national sport is to be maintained.
The tailenders are SO hopelessly out
of the pennant race from the start
that the most ardent followers lose
interest. Fans turn to other sports
and financial troubles beset the
weaker clubs.
Two major suggestions have al
ready been brought forward. One is
a sort of share-the-wealth plan
which proposes that the Yankee
machine be broken up and the talent
distributed to less fortunate clubs.
Baseball men agree that this is a
bad suggestion. The other way sug-
gested to break that pennant mon
opoly is to build up the weaker
clubs in both the American and Ma
tional leagues to meet it. This
can be done. And the way to to it
is by the extension of the farm sys-
tenn. In other words to fight fire
with fire, or more practically to
meet farm with farm.

Trim Your Couch Cover in Contrasting Cord

IF SPRING is not in the air yet
1 it soon will be. 1t is the season
when every room in the house
seems to need lift. If your
couch or daybed looks as though
it has had a hard Winter now is
the time to give it thought.
The couch of the type shown
here may be made to fit into al
most any decorating scheme if it
has a smart and appropriate COW
err. The one shown here is ideal
for a room with modern furniture
or for one that follows no particu-
lar period. It would also give an
interesting accent in a Colonial or
provincial room. The cushions
match the couch cover. A rough
ly woven navy blue cotton mate
rial is used and the seamlines are
outlined with heavy cream colored
cable cord. If you would like a
gayer color scheme, use red cord
with navy blue. Cream or yellow
cord with brown material also
makes an attractive cover.
A curved candlewick tufting
needle such as is shown here at
the lower right is good to use for
sewing the cord in place. Thread
about size 8 or 10 to match the
cord should be used The needle
shown is really a medium size YER
sion of an upholsterer's needle
which is another piece of sewing
equipment that you will find use
full if you like to renovate old fur
niture.

Wieman was graduated from
Michigan in 1921. He played tackle
and fullback under Fielding Yost.
He assisted Yost for six years, then
became head coach at Michigan in
1927. After the 1928 season he con-

in 1880 to assist Crisler, followed
him to Princeton and remained with
Crisler until the latter transferred

Of these many young peo-

Letters to the Editor

The Editor
Montgomery County Sentinel
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
I am grateful for your compliment
ary notice in your valuable paper of
May IL, 1888.
Your reference to the use of voting
machines in the rural or upper Sec
tions of our county justifies me in
explaining that it was at the insist
ence of Senator Prescott that the ori-
Il ginal law for Montgomery County
was amended to include all the pre-
cincts and polling places in the
county. The Senator was unwilling to
permit the Board of Supervisors of
Elections to merge or consolidate pre-
lcincts-For example in Takoma Park,
we have the 4th., 9th. and 9th. pre-
cincts-at different polling places.
These precincts should be consoli-
dated and the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment used with voting machines to
Icut down mounting election expenses.
Other illustrations could be furnished
in both the Wheaton and Bethesda
election districts. When voting ma
chimes are used no tally clerks are
necessary. The Senator insisted these
clerks be retained and duties created
for them.
If you desire fuller details as to the
provisions of the existing law for
Montgomery County consult Mr.. Leo
Bender, the attorney for the Board of
Supervisors of Elections. He prepared
the bill according to the expressed
views of Senator Prescott. You are
eternally right in stating that voting
machines should be installed in the
metropolitan area of the county. The
county commissioners refuse to CO.
operate with the board of supervisors
Of elections for the rental of the
necessary number of machines. The
commissioners give no reasons of any
kind for their action taken on March
8, 1888, confirmed on May 8, 1888.
The Governor of Maryland has ap-
pealed to the Fusion members of the
board of county commissioners urging
them to cooperate with the board of
supervisors of elections-al in vain.
Why?
1 am satisfied from my limited
knowledge of the situation that the
voters throughout the county would
gladly welcome the change from
paper ballots to voting machines. Re-
fer to your article-The rental of the
machines involves no obligation to
purchase. The machines can be rented
at $125 per machine for the primary
and general elections, plus the cost of
transportation from the factory. The
Automatic Voting Machine Corpora
ton has proposed that the rental be
