A A ERE men who often are EN-
Nh barraSSed at the sight of
feminine tears, or know they
can be cajoled into doing something
they never intended by a weeping
woman, may be less annoyed by that
fact when they learn that the distaff
side cries when it's hurt simply be-
cause women have a much lower
threshold of pain" than men.
That means it takes much slighter
injury to make a woman say-and
feel-"Ouch!" than it does to induce
a man to cringe with pain or even
admit that he notices it at all.
Why Nature should have devised
such a seemingly unfair sex differ
entail in sensitivity to hurts remains
a mystery, but findings recently re-
ported by DR.. +. David Sherman of
Sydney, Nova Scotia, to the Canadian
Medical Association Journal indicate
that it does exist as matter of fact.
Like many other physicians, DR..
Ntinually was confronted
with the problem of diagnosing the
ailments of men and women who
complained of a host of aches and
pains, but didn't seem to be sick
Others, though seriously i'll, felt
pretty comfortable most of the time.
Had Natures original warning sig
nal-the agony that supposedly is a
trustworthy precursor of illness
taken a holiday? DR.. Sherman
thought not in most instances.
Instead, he suspected that some of
these people were so highly sensitive
to pain that they practically felt
aches that weren't there while other
benumbed individuals had almost no
pain consciousness" That is, I'M
less they all were frauds bent on
fooling their own physicians.
This conclusion about pain Sensi.
tivity didn't agree with findings of
some other experts who hold that
all people really feel pain to the
same degree regardless of sex.
SO with an ingenious and scientific
cally approved torture" device, DR..
Sherman set out to check up on the
pain reactions of his patients-with-
out their ever knowing of the tests.
He went through the routine of

One way of explaining this seeming
discrepancy is merely to pass the buck
to tradition. Man, the master, isn't
supposed to give in to human frailty.

the mercury reading still was low.
The actual statistics showed that
65 per cent of DR.. Sherman's entire
group had just a normal reaction to
pain - neither particularly high nor
low. Seventeen per cent really could
take it and were very slow to suffer.
But IS per cent had almost a hair
trigger type of sensitivity to pain.
Among these easily-hurt patients
nearly three fourths were women,
but there were nine men to every
member of the weaker sex in the
slow TO feel pain classification.
This scientific discovery would
seem to give the girls an edge on
bids for sympathy when they're hurt.
But it doesn't tie in at all with the
idea - almost universally held by
every mother, wife and sweetheart
that when a man is sick he's so much
"Sicker" than any woman ever thought
of being. The huskier the gent the
more likely he is to kick up a rumpus.

Directors of the FL Centro cham
Der of commerce went en- record
Wednes day NIGHT as favoring pro-
posed expansion of the University
Ct Califo-nia's agricultural eXpe-
riment sub-station at Meloland.
A comp. Ell en5lve report on the
expansion, which would include a
non-degree training course, was Civ
en- by Director r. B Dessert. A mo-
ton was adopted in support OF the
plan and it was decided to explain
in full Imperial Valleys situation
TO show that growing and harvesting
conditions in the valley are IN the
reverse of planting and harvesting
conditions elsewhere in California.
Studies pursued at the unlver-
sitys college Of agriculture at Davis
would not be applicable here, Dee
sert pointed out, as the soils ar\
growing conditions are not dupli-
Gated anywhere else in California.
The directors agreed that, based
on the large volume of produce
grown here, Imperial Valley is en-
titled to its own experimental sta
ton and requires more than sub
station such as the one Melo-
land now operated by the univer-
sity.
