Touch Wood Superstition

An interesting explanation Of the
''touch wood superstition is that
the wood touched was a reputed
''piece of the true Cross" carried
by the faithful Elder wood, of which
the cross was said to have been
made. was supposed to have protec-
tive power. But probably, before
the Christian era, the sacred oak
was in the same manner accounted
effective in averting the evil chance

Worlds Heaviest Wood

Quebracho wood is a native Of
southern Brazil, Paraguay and
northern Argentina and is one Of
the heaviest and hardest substances
known, its name meaning arc break
er. It's weight is from 70 to 80
pounds cubic foot and its specific
gravity is IL to 1.3. 1t sinks in
water even when perfectly dry. The
bark is used as a remedy for fever
and for diseases of the respiratory
organs, but it is used chiefly as a
source of tannin, large quantities of
which are sent to the United States
mostly in the form of extracts.

VALUE OF REST
 SHOWN BY TEST
Proper Amount Can Double the Total of Almost Any-
 thing You Wish

Cleveland, O., (UP)-A we'll
 known psychology professor reports
 that proper use of rest periods can
 double the amount of almost any,
 thing you could wish to double.
 Roland c. Travis, associate pro-
 lessor of psychology at Western Re-
 serve University, has deduced that
 a person acetually learns while rest
 ing and asserted: Capital can double the output of labor.
 Students can raise their scolas- tic standing.
 Rest periods can be set to the rhythm characteristics of each in- dividuals mind. In other words, Prof. Travis said, one learns while he has ceased try ing to learn. Additionally, one must work so hard trying to gather knowledge that he destroys what he has learned.
 "For best results" he said, "a per- son should find out how long at one stretch he should keep at particu- lar job."
 Three Groups Tested The physchologist, carrying out his research, took three groups of 20 students each to do 8 certain task. The work was divided into active and rest periods. The work period for the first group was one minute, for the second two minutes and for the third four minutes. Each had three-minute rest periods. On each job, there were six work periods.
 The experiment was controlled carefully so that the error of ob- servation would be kept to @ mini- mum. Prof. Travis admitted he thought those who worked four minutes at a time would accomplish the most, but he found he was wrong.
 "The most work was done by the group that worked two minutes at @ time," he said. The extra two miI1- utes of work during each period was wasted.
 'In fact, it was worse than wasted, because the excess of effort wiped out previous accomplishments" Prof. Travis figured that addition of the wasted time meant that the four minute group lost total of six man-hours. At 40 cents an hour in factory, this loss would mean $40 to the factory. Value of Rest Proved He used another experiment to test the value of rest. He assigned a group of students to learning job." Each group worked six min- utes at a time and then had rest periods of three minutes between each job.
 During the first work period, the efficiency was increased. Prof. Travis expected this. But he discovered that the rest period boosted the efficiency much more than the work period.
 ''This is demonstrated frequently by our students" he said. T would not be surprised but our best stu- dents are those who know how to divide up their time between study and rest.
