Epilepsy Is itself. not hereditary. However,
the tendency TO epilepsy can be passed on
from father or mother 10 their children. OF
that all prospective married couples wish TO be
free.
What brain wave pattern is II that is
characteristic Of this tendency to epilepsy?
Doctors cannot answer this fully, they have
not identified one single but several brain
wave patterns that can foretell this informa-
ton.
The tendency to epilepsy called a pre-
disposition, seems linked closely with some
mix-up of the gray matter. Psychiatrists call
it hereditary cortical dysrhythmia." Don't
let that term throw you.
1t is only doctors way Of saying that the
brain wave rhythm pattern, the blueprint of
nature, is abnormal in the gray matter on the
outer cortex Of the brain.
Most normal people-even as you and 7
and how lucky we are-have brain waves
which occur about ten times n second People
like Napoleon and other famous epileptics with

have waves that occur too fast or too slow
say from 10 and more cycles per second down
TO three or four cycles per second.
For such people there is no constancy
are too slow, sometimes at normal rates and
sometimes too fast More than one test is
therefore required to detect abnormalties.
Like an electrical circuit in your home,
where instead of the normal 90 cycles per sec
ond current there are violent fluctuations,
there are similar electrical cycles in the brain.
Everyone perhaps knows how hard il would be
TO run electric motors in vacuum cleaners,
washing machines and dish washers with any
kind of wabbling electric current in the home.
1t is not to be expected that the delicate hui
man brain can tolerate that any better

larly called brain waves, now being

future may the use Of brain waws to fore

This new role OF brain wave Interpretation
a highlight of the recent Atlantic City
meeting OF the American Medical Association.
Or. William G. Lennon, one OF the nations
foremost authorities on the detection and un-
ravelinC of the electrical records of the hu
man mind. made the startling announcement.
Behind the cloak of profound scientific
terms what DR. Lennox said essentially
the following:
young couple comes 10 the physician.
They say, I'VE deeply love each other and
want 10 get married and have children but we
remember that Uncle John Cor maybe it was
Aunt Nary was very peculiar and kind of
had fits on occasions Should we get mar
ried? Should have children? May they,
too, have troubles like Uncle John ," Now
they can be answered a definite yes" or
No
In the past all the doctor could do was TO
explore the family tree of the boy and the girl
and dig into medical histories TO find out IL
some not-too-far-back relative either side
had some quirk some oddly Of behavior or
was subject to epilepsy--for that is probably
what the boy and girl were really talking
about.
What doctors have been doing until the
present time was to make blood tests physical
examinations and microscopic searches for the
protection of the mentality of babies to come
of the marriage.
All the doctor could do for the fearful
young couple was TO get the facts and make
the best guess he could the odds that
some mental change in the family tree might,
or might not, pop up in future generations.
The doctor had to gamble in his advice. The
couple had TO gamble with their marriage The
future heir or heircss had To gamble that his
unchosen parents were right in the Uranium!
All this glesswork is now done away with
Psychiatrists and family physicians can be
much more certain and positive in their advice,
thanks to Or. LennoXs studies
Mary and John have been informed that
their brain-wave patterns are normal. The
fact. however, that in nine out OF ten cases Of
epilepsy the brain wave pattern is distinctly
different from that Of normal people puts

if he really has ulcers of the stomach. If
this information ties in with other tests
for ulcers it strengthens the suspicion that
the patient has this afflicton..
Most important the new brain wave
test permits very early diagnosis of ul-
GERS, long before they might show up on
X-ray photographs.
Exploring the personality traits of
these stomach ulcer patients. the doctors
found that most of them were very pas
sive and meek and mild sorts of people.
Most of the group-all men-sad about
their marriage:
Il let her have her own way"
Il don't argue about it."
While II cannot definitely be proved
as yet, it appears that this giving in, and
repression Of resentment over matters in
the home or in the office can be a con-
tributing cause Of stomach ulcers.
One way of saying all this is that if
you have some hot-tempered battles on
the home front with your wife or hus-
band, you may wind up in a divorce court,
but not in bed with stomach ulcers.
Another mystery the brain waves may
solve is the puzzle Of just how Song the
brain really lives after what we know as
death.
That the brain may live as long as
fifteen minutes after the heart has
stopped beating has rather disconcerting
possibilities Hamlet in his immortal
soliloquy says

being done but much or II rightly is clouded
in the rules on military secrecy.
1t can be said. however that student pilots
with often-obscure forms of epilepsy (they
may never have had an attack can be spotted
and weeded out of the air force.
In the same way in the future, brain wave
examinations may become a standard test
when any one obtains a drivers license. No
one can say for certain but many highway
accident-now charged up TO momentary in
attentions probably caused by slight
blackout of the mind which comes with petit
NAL seizures Often the person never knows
that he has such attacks and only thinks he
is a bit forgetfu at times.
Then. too, brain waves are being used to
tackle that great problem, what makes a
genius?
The day may come when scientists will be
able to detect children with genius in the mere
kindergarten grades and so the school system
will be able to guide their outstanding talents
into the best channels to bring the benefits
to the human race
Civilization cannot afford to waste the
talents Of the mind which genius bears and
waste years while it is being recognized.
On the reverse side of this problem is the
use of brain waves TO probe the minds of
problem" children who are the trouble-mak-
ors in the home and in the school Already
such children-if they suffer from some Dor
deriine kind of mental trouble-can be de-
tcctcd
Getting the brain wave patterns out of the
human nina is easy enough but interpreting
what they mean is much more difficult The
tumble Of wavy marks on papers. which the
scientists can record, are extremely complex.
Probably much knowledge now exists on brain
wave records which doctors never suspect

they viii tap Rosetta stone OF the human
mind.

tific inquiry and many experiments have been
made to determine the truth There is the
classic experiment of the victim of the guillo-

after the blade fell he would demonstrate it
by winldng his cyes-speech, of course, being
impossible because Of the cutting of the throat.
And the record is that this severed head did
wink its eyes!
But no one was able to determine whether
this was because the brain was conscious or
whether it was simply some muscular reflex

When electricity was in
it's infancy a famous French
surgeon, DR.. IRE, tried the
same experiment on the
body Of a murderer named
Clydsdale. The body was
taken frem the gallews and
rushed to the operating
room. The two poles of the
galvanometer were placed
against his forehead in prac-
tically the same way the
present-day scientists do to
detect brain waves.
It Is recorded that the
muscles of Clydsdale's face
expressed a whole gamut Of
emotions - rage, anguish,
despair, frightful grins and,
in fact, in progressive order
and successfully all the
traits of the assassin.
1t Is also recited that so
extraordinary was the re-
Spouse that "many persons
who attended this hideous
spectacle got such a shock
that they were forced to
leave the amphitheatre."
The curious old print of
the IRE experiments, shown
above, portrayed the conster-
nation of those learned men
when life seemed to come
back to this body which had
been pronounced dead ten
minutes before.
Brain wave patterns are
being used by the air forces
of the Army and the Navy
to help pick out the best
pilots and to try and find
what kind of brain wave
pattern goes with the best
flying ability. Great work Is

WASHINGTON, SPIT. 28- R -
The new fuel oil rationing plan
will divide the heating season into
five periods to enable home own
ers to budget their rations in ac-
eordance with the seasonal fall and
rise Of temperatures, the Office
Of Price Administrator announced
today
Coupons numbered from one to
five will be issued for specific pc
RODS and will be valid only within
those periods, OPA said. However,
provision for advance use of cou.
pons will be made to meet the
needs arising from unusually cold
spells.
The periods will vary slightly
among the four thermal zones
recently announced. Although the
dates separating the periods now
are only tentative, the heating sea-
son will be considered as starting
On October l.
