Needs Of European
BelIigerents

Maritime Commission officials
studied information today that was
submitted to them yesterday by
Joseph P. Kennedy, Ambassador to
Great Britain, on commercial ship
ping needs of Europe's belligerent
nations.
Out Of these needs it was hoped
that American vessels made idle by
restrictions Of the Neutrality Act
could be transferred into new serv-
ices outside the prescribed combat
zones. These routes, President
Roosevelt told his press conference
after discussing the matter with
Mr.. Kennedy, would be mostly be-
tween non-American neutral ports.
A survey yesterday disclosed that
about so American merchantmen
removed from European service by
the war have not yet been placed
In new employment.
Mr.. Kennedy, a former chairman
Of the Maritime Commission, dis
cussed the proposition, not only with
the President, but with Commits
sion Chairman Emory S. Land and
Commissioner Max Truitt. Among
other questions discussed with the
President, it was revealed, was the
potential wartime market for South
ern pine as European demands for
timber rise.
Leaving last night for Boston and
New York, the Ambassador planned
to return to Washington next week.

|'Good Democrat
Plea Fails in
| |Intoxicotion Case

A repeated plea that he was "a
good Texas Democrat" who wanted
to be free to celebrate his birthday,
which he claimed comes on Christ
mas Day, failed to win clemency to-
day for Moe Bailey, 55-year-old
colored man, when arraigned be-
fore Judge Edward M. Curran in
Police Court on a drunkenness
charge.
Bailey's speech today may have
been a good one but was weakened
when it was learned by Judge Cur
ran that the defendant not only
had delivered it before but had been
given a suspended sentence after
doing it.
I'm a good Texas Democrat and
my birthday is on December Is. I
wanna be out for Christmas because
all good Democrats should cele-
brate Christmas" the defendant told
the Court.
Bailey's face wreathed in a smile
as he went on to explain that he
fhad been told in Texas ito be a
good Democrat"
How many times have you been
arrested for intoxication?" asked
Judge Curran. Bailey told him sew
eral times. Then you haven't been
such a good Democrat have you?"
asked the judge. Bailey explained
that he had been good at times"
At this point Judge Curran asked
the defendant whether he had given
his speech on democracy to any
of the other judges, and Bailey ad-
mitted that he had done so before
Judge Walter J. Casey, short time
ago, and had been given a suspended
sentence. Judge Curran sentenced
Bailey to Is days in jail.

Medical Journal
| Explains Effects
|Of TickIinq

There are two kinds of tickling,
deep and surface, the Journal Of the
American Medical Association ex-
plains in answer to an inquiry about
the different effects of tickling when
done to oneself and when done by
other persons. Deep pressure over
the ribs, in the arm pit and else
where causes the muscles under
meath to contract, the person to draw
away, laugh, cry or exclaim.
The reason this does not happen
when done by person to himself is
because he consciously resists and
because the muscles are kept rela-
lively stiff. Actually deep tickling
can usually be resisted by keeping
the muscles rigid and contracted.
The response to tickling is a true
reflex and is carried by the nerves
up the spine TO portion of the brain
(the thalamus) which translates the
sensation into the response Of laugh
ter, crying, etc. The surface sensa-
ton Of tickling may be caused by
light touch, such as feather, and
lasts often after the stimulus which
caused 1t has been stopped.
