REFUSES EXPERIMENT

HOLLYWOOD, Gallup The
Explosive Squad Of the police de-
partment was unable to give Micha
Auer, the movie comedian, any
idea Of what might happen to him
if he attempted TO drive his car
after someone had poured a quan-
,ity of sugar into its gasoline tank.
Rather than make any scientific
contribution TO posterity on the
subject, by actually trying to drive
the car, Auer called a garage man,
and paid &14.40 to have the tank
drained and cleaned.

has now published a popular book
for laymen called Climate Makes
the Man.
what real evidence have we
that climate influences mankind"
he asks, and proceeds to give a
number Of interesting answers in
proof Of the fact that it is a domi-
mating influence in many respects.
Experiments on Animals
Many of his experiments were
carried out on laboratory animals
and can be matched by observa-
tion1 on man. They proved con-
clusively that animals. including
man, can be acclimated TO differ
ent extremes Of temperature, but
In order TO live in health in these
climates they must make adjust
ments and have to stay put for a
long time before they are able to
function normally. particularly If
the climate IS really extreme.
This is practical lesson that
has been brought out by the war:
namely, the acclimatization Of the
German troops for desert warfare
which gave them an initial advan-
tage until the Allied troops had
also become acclimated. American
troops are, | believe, being accli-
mated in our desert regions for
desert service.
II is no accident that the people
who live in temperate climates
have led the world in creative sc-
tiyity and productlvenesS. The
climate actually influences human
thought processes and makes for
yigor and longevity and fertility.
The mechanism by which this is
accomplished is probably in the
fact that in certain climates food
exchange within the body is more
rapid and probably depends upon
the activity of vitamin B. In trop-
zeal climates vitamin B is elimi-
mated from the body very much
more rapidly than in temperate
climates.
1t so happens that the portion
Of the world where the climate
IS most favorable to human activ-
ity is in North America in a
strip from about the Rocky Noun
tains to the Alleghenies, including
southern Canada, the northern
part of the United States and the
Midwest in general.
In thrs zone food exchange is
most nearly perfect for human
activity. In this area. too. it so
happens that there are located
most Of the resources of the earth
At least more than in any other
part Of the world.
Leads in Production
1t is the great wheat country,
the great cattle country, the great
dairy region, and the region which
produces iron, coal, oil, zinc. cop
per and which leads the agricul-
tural world in production. The
combination of these opportunities
which nature offers and the favor
able climate which makes man
most active and vigorous has had
the natural result OF making this
the great center Of human activity.
The portion OF the world which
is second to this section in these
qualities is in Europe. a strip
which includes France, Germany,
Poland and western Russia.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. S.;-Can you tell by x-ray
whether tuberculosis is active? Is
It a true test? How do you know
whether one is carrier of the
disease?
Answer: The x-ray shows the
existence Of tuberculosis but not
necessarily whether it is active or
not. This, however, can be de-
cIded by examining the chest with
a stethoscope and by examining
the sputum for the presence Of the
germs Of tuberculosis.
