VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Black Mushrooms Very Potent Dish
By THOMAS r. HENRI

Widespread in the high
aboriginal civilization Of the
Maya Indians were frequent
glorious jags on O-phospho-
ryl- 4 -hydroxy- N -dimethyl-
tryptamine.
Nobility and priests, ar
rayed in their scarlet parrot
feather regalia, served it at
their cocktail parties. The
stuff had a terrific kick. 1t
took one out Of this world.
They called it teonanacatl,
meaning flesh of the gods. "
1t was, as described by the
16th-century Spanish mis-
sionary priest Bernardino de
Sahagun, "a little black
mushroom which inebriates,
causes hallucinations and
even excites lust" Father
Sahagun quite n naturally
looked on teonanacatl with
considerable disfavor.
Now after nearly four cen
turies, and a great deal of
confusion, the material has
been identified and, under
the more civilized name of
psilocybin. promises to be a
significant drug in psychia-
try-at least in psychiatric
research. Its properties now
are being investigated under
the direction Of the National
Institute of Mental Health
of the United States Public
Health Service.
Detailed Account
Father Sahagun's account
remains the most detailed
and authentic:
THE mushrooms they ate
with honey, and when they
began to get heated from
them they began to dance
and some sang and some
wept, for now they were
drunk with the mushrooms
And some cared not to sing
but would sit down in their
rooms and stay there pen
sive-like. and some saw in 6
vision that some wild beast
was eating them, and others
saw in a vision that they
were taken captives in war
others saw in a vision that
they were to be very rich anc
own many slaves, others saw
in a vision that they were tt
commit adultery and that
their heads were to be bashec
in therefor, others saw in 9
vision that they were to stea,
something-all the disastrou.

How to

I could never understand
why the term bedside man

some doctors. l believe that

requisite for the good doctor.

Doctors can prevent di-
vorce. Many a man with
stomach ulcer is hard to live
with until the doctor makes
him more comfortable phys
ically. When you feel bad
physically you have to be q
saint not to react emotion
ally. (Think of the last time
you had a nagging tooth
ache.
RECALL A MAN who was
on the verge of divorcing his
wife "who is so nervous and
hard to live with that I can't
take it any more" I asked
him to hold of a while until
/ could examine her. Neither
knew that she was at the
mercy Of an overactive thy
roid (all she had was a small
overlooked nodule in her
neck). When this was treated
she became her former, ami
able self and the marriage
was saved. I tell unhappy
married couples: "See your
doctor first" Tell it to the
doctor and you may not have
to tell it to the judge!
A surgeons wife has a SYM
pathetic husband. He knows
what 1t is to stand over q
table all morning.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
do you think of tobacco for
a patient who has recently
recovered from an attack of
coronary thrombosis? Is it
dangerous? Will it predispose
to another attack? My hus-
band has me worried. He is
stubborn. He will not give up
his cigarettes. He smokes at
least q pack a day. Mrs. D.,
Ohio.
WHEN / WAS just beginning
practice I treated a business
man who recovered nicely
from his coronary throm-
boSis. Previously to his attack,
he smoked at least two packs
a day. In a long bedside talk
I explained that tobacco
was taboo from now on. He
agreed to stop smoking.
He met me at the door a
few days later when I was
making q house call. He was
smoking q cigarette. I asked
him how many he had had
that day. About q pack" he
said. (AS unconcernedly as If
he had never heard my adj
vice..
Being young and perhaps
overly, conscientious, I told
him that I would not con-
tinue to treat him. 1 sug-
geSted he get another doctor.
He did.
The fact that he died about
six months later did not prove
that the cigarettes were his
comm nails. But I have al
ways been certain that to-
bacco never did coronary
patients any good"
Since my experience with
this patient, I have learned
that doctors can't make
patients do as they advise. All
we can do Is give you what
we hope is good advice and
trust that you will follow it.
Now that I am more mel
low, I warn you against smok-
ing if you have coronary
disease. But I tell you the
choice is yours. I don't lay
down the law: Don't smoke
or ELSE!"
In one way or another,
each one of US is vain. Call
it EGO or whatever you will,
but it's a normal, built-in
factor in everyone's life. 1
was observing the satisfied
and completely absorbed ex-
preston in q friends face

the conclusion that the most
unusual and captivating voice
a man can hear is the play

FoIdes Extended

The new Galerie Interna-
tionale, which opened the
last week of June at 2101 S
street NV. with an exhibit
ton of paintings by Hun
garian artist Peter Foldes,
has had such gratifying re-
sponse from the public that
it has extended his exhibit
ton through next Wednes-
day. The artist, who calls his
work "the first expression of
the Space Age" has hung a
number of new canvaSeS. An
interview with him was pub
lished in The Evening Star
newscolumns page D-10) on
June II, in which he stated
his objectives.
His work is abstract ex-
preSSioniSt in character, but
whereas accidents" play an
important role in such paint
ing, Mr.. Foldes' distractions
appear to be planned to the
last detail, and precisely exc
cuted. His compositions COM
prise circles and pontil-
liste circular areas, straight,
curved and rippled lines,
some heavy. some thread
thin, whorls, color centers
with rays, showers of con-
fetti-like dots, and success
sions of figures resembling
Arabic calligraphy. Some of
these paintings have crum-
pied paper attached and
painted as part of the design.
These motifs. in white and
bright colors are done on
solid color or black grounds.
These paintings range con-
siderably in size, from a few
feet in dimensions, to the
colossal Creation" more
than 100 square feet in area,
intended to be hung verti-
cally, but here shown of
necessity in a horizontal po-
sition.

ale reports that Peter Foldes
has been invited by the As
sociation of Museums to send

collections was brought to
the United States by the
East West Cultural Exchange
Program of the Department
of State, and is being cir
culated by the Smithsonian
Institution Travelling Exhibi-
ton Service.
Boldly designed and vividly
colored costumes and en-
broideries, rugs. ceramics,
icons, musical instruments,
carved wood, EN- boss d
leather and other objects, are
displayed against a setting of
large photomurals of pano-
ramic landscape and farms,
picturesque villages and peas
ant professions in Rumania.
A reconstructed room from a
cottage in the district of
Transylvania demonstrates
how the displayed objects are
used. The scene is enlivened
by figures of women dressed
in elaborate costumes.
Costumes and other textiles
and embroideries show most
effectively, the Rumanians'
love of decoration. Fabrics,
woven on looms in the homes.
are richly embroidered with
geometrical, plant and figure
designs. Contracts are Strik-
ing in the heavy embroidery
on white leather jackets and
kindred garments, and the
delicate embroidery on sheer
muslin and cotton blouses.
Admirably composed dec
orative elements in hand
woven carpets and their
harmonious color schemes are
the fruit of generations of
experience. The carpet weaver
inherits an "ornam m e n t a !
grammar" whose most alb
stract geometrical forms have
precise meanings; but in re-
peating these traditional de-
signs, the weaver varies the
basic pattern to the extent
that each rug is unique.
Roman Influence
Long ago Rumania's terri
tory was a Roman province
(indeed, the name is some
times spelled Romania) and
its ceramics reflect to this
day, the elegant shapes Of the
Greco-Roman tradition. Pot
terry for daily use is often
decorated while the clay is
wet, but is usually unglazed.
Decorative pottery is brightly
ornamented and covered with
a transparent glaze.
DR.. Harry L. Shapiro, chair
man of the department of
anthropology, American Mu-
scum of Natural History, said
in part, about the current
show, that these Rumanian
examples are precious be-
cause they not only represent
one of the great folk arts,
but also their survival to our
day enables us to see the full
extent of such an art.
In present-day Rumania,
folk art is no longer created
merely to satisfy everyday
needs. Such organizations as
the Rumanian Folk Lore In
Stitute and the Institute Of
the History of Art of the Ru-
manian Academy, have been
formed to study, preserve and
develop the practice of crafts.
The best of these traditional
elements are being incorpo-
rated into the design of man
ufactured goods, and many
other phases of the peoples
cultural life. AS DR.. Shapiro
concluded.

past is becoming an integral
part of the present. and a
