VSTAS IN SCIENCE
Mysteries of Brain Chemistry
BY THOMAS R. HENRI

Probably no individual, it
was pointed out, has quite
the same pattern but cav
correlations between patterns
of the vaguely defined "in-
dividuality" remain to be
determined by others. Every
body knows it exists but no
body knows quite what it is.
Drug injections now can
be made directly deep into
the basic structures of the
brain.
This has Just been report
ed by DR.. Robert G. Heath
and his associates of Tulane
University. Such inter-cere-
bral injections often produce
quite different effects than
injections of the same sub
stances into the blood stream
which carries them to the
same brain areas. Thus the
Tulane psychiatriSts may
have laid foundations for a
new treatment technique.
First, according to the re-
port, very small pipettes are
implanted in the appropriate
brain regions-mostly parts
of the inner brain lying be-
low the cerebral corteX where
much of unconscious behav-
ior is controlled. At the same
time electrodes are implanted
in the same brain areas to
record changes in brain
electricity" brought about by
the extremely minute drug
injections.
Influenced Brainwaves
The Tulane experiments
were carried out with mon
keys. Injected in this way,
the powerful drug, hisamine,
produced. according to the
report, profound effects on
the brainwave pattern and,
in some cases, changes in be-
havior. Normal salt solution
produced no effects.
Extracts from cattle brains
produced marked effects
when injected into the same
area in the monkey brain,
but none at all when injected
elsewhere. Anti-convulsant
drugs, put directly into the
brain in extremely minute
quantities, significantly raised
the Threshold for produc-
ton of convulSions by the
drug matrazol.
Both behavior and cleo
trical responses brought
about by this method, &C
cording to the report, per-
sisted from one to three
hours. This was approximate
ly the same time, it was de-
monstrated, that traces Of
the sdrug itself remained in
the brain tissue. The drugs
acted, it was found, by slow
diffusion through limited
brain cell areas.

@. What is the best way
to remove scratches from
plate glass? C. H.
A. There is no really salts
factory method of removing
deep scratches from plate
glass except to regrind and
repolish the surface, which
would cost more than new
glass. Sometimes appear
ance can be improved if the
glass is vigorously rubbed
with a polishing material
such as polishing rouge or
very finely powdered pumice.
The scratches may be less
noticeable if they are covered
with a clear varnish, or if a
clear wax is rubbed into the
scratch.
@. At what age does
child's head stop growing?
J. S.
A. When a child is five. his
head is almost as large as
it will ever be. The head
makes up about one-fourth
of the length of a newborn
child, and grows much more
slowly than other parts of
the body. By six, the brain
has about completed It's
growth so far as size is con-
cerned, but changes in the
brain cells and nerve con-
nections go on for many
years.

Recreationf is Most Regarding,
According to Louis 7. Mitchell

of Columbia Recreation League.
AT st. Johns College in An

distance running. He was a

the 10 and 15-mile champion
of the District Chapter, Amer
can Athletic Union.

he said, "but 1 couldn't get up

you see, recreation demands
every bit of your time if you
really believe in it. You have
to live, eat and sleep public rec
reation, and there just isn't any
room for any outside activi-
ties"
Mitchell saw the Commits
sion's program grow from two
play centers in 1912 to 43 in
1858 when the program was
transferred to Montgomery
County.
At present, he said, the coun-
ty Recreation Department op-
crates 60 centers during the
summer, with a staff of 230 to
care for an enrolment of APP
proximately 10000 children. He
works Immediately under Rec
reation Director Forest Gustaf-
son.
His biggest problem is get
ting enough personnel during
the busy summer months.
MANY of our recreation in
structors are college students
who are constantly leaving for
higher paying vacation jobs and
it's becoming increasingly diff
cult to obtain requirements" he
said.
He added the department also
employs some high school stu
dents, but they must be out
standing enthusiastically and in
other school activities and must
be planning to specialize in edu-
cation and related fields in col
lege.
Mitchell is married to his
childhood sweetheart, who went
through elementary and high
school with him. They have five
children. His home is at 533

After 80 years as a public
recreation leader, Louis G.
Mitchell is more than ever
convinced that it is the most
rewarding of occupations.

chief of the county's Recreation

occupied and to watch them de-
velop into outstanding citizens"
No matter how incorrigible
they may appear, give them
worthwhile activities and treat
them with fairness and sim
cerity and they will change" he
said firmly.
Mitchell has plenty of facts
to back him up. When he
worked for the District OF Co
lumbia Recreation Department
in the 1905, police used to send
him boys from the Training
School one or two days a week.
They were tough and sullen
when they first arrived" he re-
called, "but you could see them
change as they began to take
part more and more in our rec
reation program. And within
few months, their entire atti-
tude had been transformed into
one of cooperation"
He also remembered a boy
who he said had been dubbed
''least likely to succeed" by
those attending the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Recreation Center
when Mitchell was in charge in
1912.
