over the destruction of the Tenn
pie on Tisha b'Av.
Among some Jews salt is not
eaten on the meal before the fast
of the Ninth of Av either as a
matter of avoiding the tasty
things of life because of ones
sadness or so as not to cause ex-
cessive thirst during the fast to
come.
Others claim that since the
original custom of dipping ones
daily bread in salt was associated
with the custom of offering the
sacrifices with salt at the altar,
and one who is in mourning does
not send any sacrifices, therefore
the mourner omits the salt during
the first meal. Still others claim
that the salt which is added to
the bread is to protect us from
misfortunes." Since the mourner
has been subject to misfortune
he feels at the moment that his
protection has been of no avail.
Perhaps the most practical rea-
son offered is the one which
claims that the first meal eaten
by mourners is served by others
so that the person in mourning
does not give up the necessities
of life such as eating in his state
of dependency. While the neces-
sites of life are essential to him,
nevertheless the luxurieS and
pleasantries are not in good taste
at the moment. Thus, while his

Super-titanic sun brooms,
sweeping the space between
earth and Sun of the debris of
the universe, were pictured at
the closing meeting of the
American Physical Society here
yesterday.
They are great clouds Of hy-
drogen ions-hydrogen atoms
stripped of their outer electrons,
shot into space from the solar
disk.
Such clouds are heavily mag
netized. They pick up. like an
electric sweeper. the extremely
energetic cosmic radiation of
particles from outer space. Such
clouds expand as they cross the
SO million miles from earth to
sun. At the end they are large
enough to inclose the whole
earth.
DIR. Morrison Explains.
Such a picture was presented
by DR.. Phillip Morrison of Cor
nell University. in an effort to
account for some of the curious
variations in the rain of par
ticles from space continuously
bombarding the earth. They
reach energies of billions Of
volts, the greatest energies
known in the universe. About
a thousandth of them, DR.. Nor
rison said, probably originate in
the sun itself. These are of the
lowest energies.
The sun, however. Is the only
cource that can positively be
identified. There are large, sud-
den increases of low energy cos
mic rays. These, he said, seem
always to accompany giant
flares of flame on the suns face
of which about a dozen have
been observed in the past Is
years.
There also are worldwide de-
creases in cosmic ray lombard

the solar brooms come into play.

Science Groups Urge
Laws 10 Overcome
Stigma Of Epilepsy

Legislation has not kept pace
in removing the stigma Of
epilepsy as the enigma of the
disease has been overcome by
medicine. neurologist-psychia-
trist and legal educator said
here today.
A Joint scientific session Of
the American League against
Epilepsy and the American
Academy of Neurology received
the report at the Shoreham
Hotel.
DR.. Howard D. Fabing, chair
man of the legislative COM
mittee of the League, and Dean
Roscoe L. Barrow of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati College Of
Law, presented the report.
Points to Big Problem.
The report said that current
methods of diagnosis and treat
ment render most epilepticS cap
able of living normal, useful
lives. but the sociological prob
lem of the epileptic is his high
est hurdle to becoming an asset
to society.
Laws highly discriminatory
against epileptics perpetuate the
stigma attached to epilepsy since
nre-Rihlical times. Dean Barrow
said.
Flaws Spotlighted.
These flaws are spotlighted in
the report:
/. Lack of uniformity in statu-
tory provisions posing serious
difficulties for epileptics.
2. Broad administrative dis
cretion in the application of the
statutes.
3. Failure to distinguish be-
tween essential and acquired
epilepsy in statutes prompted by
eugenics motives, such as pro-
hibiting marriage, providing for
sterilization, and Federal statu-
tes limiting entrance into the
United States.
The league plans to draft
model State laws on the subject
of epilepsy and prepare a med
ico-legal report in support OF
recommended changes.

Brain waves reveal age.

The alpha waves. with a
rhythm of about ten per second,
slow down markedly after CO.
and this slowing. can be corre-
lated with difficulties in remem-
bering and other psychological
phenomena.
Actually, ones age can be
guessed by the alpha rhythm
frequency.
This was revealed to the Amer
ican Academy of Neurology. COM
pleting it's annual meetings here,
by DR.. j. E. P. Teman and his
associates of the Michael Reese
Hospital of the University OF
Chicago.
At birth the alpha rhythm is
slow and irregular. Through
childhood and adolescence it be-
comes faster and more regular,
reaching a peak in the years OF
early maturity. After about
thirty the speed of the rhythm
begins to drop off, very slightly
at first. After go there is a de-
cided drop to about seven beats
per second. There is no repeti-
ton, however, Of the childhood
irregularity and there actually
is less variation than between
20 and 80.
Corrected with Wave Pattern.
The University Of Chicago
doctors attempted, by means OF
standard memory tests, to corre-
late the slowing of the alpha
rhythm to "life changes in the
property Of the brain as an organ
for recording experiences" They
! found, in general, that routine
ability to memorize was corrected
roughly with the brain wave
pattern.
Theories have been advanced,
it was pointed out, that beyond
the age Of go there is a repression
towards the mental condition of
childhood-the So-called second
childhood" which frequently is
attributed to old people. The
present experiments. however.
