JAP KIDS ARE ALERT
Tents Show Them Equal in In
telligence to Americans.
California Professors Maks an Extan-
( tve Statewide Study of the Intel,
ligence of American-Born
ChiWren of Japaneee.
/.os Angeles.—Japanese boys and
girls between tlie ages of ten and
fifteen, in the schools of Los An-
g.-les nntl Sun Francisco, are the
rental equals of the average Aiueii-
, ; iu pupils In the snme schools, bur
they lug behind the Americans in the
smaller cities of the state.
Thus Prof. N. L. Darsle, assistant
dean of the University of California,
southern branch, gave the prelimi-
miry results of an extensive state
wide study of the Intelligence of the
.American-born , children of Japanese
resident*. Tests were conducted by
him nnd Prof. L. N. Trrrnan of Stan
ford university.
They were undertaken at the re
quest of the Japanese Association of
America, which desired to know how
Lapsnese children compared in In
telligence with American children and
those of other races. The organisa
tion appropriated $10,000 for the work
end “turned It over without string"
to Stanford university for that pur
pose.
Professor Darsle stated, after an ex-
uminatloii of 000 boys and girls, lie
end his colleagues had concluded that
“from a standpoint of Intelligence, the
" Japanese are a inure desirable class
of immigrants than the people of
southern Europe," but he emphasized
In- was speaking "only from a stand
point of mentul ah'lity," und was not
i iinslderlng "economic problems."
So difference between American und
Japanese children was found in re
gard to honesty and truthfulness, us
compiled from teachers’ records.
An iniorestlng fact, disclosed by the
test, was, despite the fact Japanese
v is the language spoken by the chil
dren In tliel' - homes, most of them
spoke English better than. Japanese.
SYMBOL OF RUSSIAN TRAGEDY
The Bouroeolca, Popular Invention,
Showa to What Depths the People
Have Been Reduced.
A bourgeoion is a small sheet Iron
stove, writes Eleanor Franklin Egan In
the Saturday Evening Post. Or It may
be onj£ u 5-gallon gasoline enn with
a little (loot- at one end nnd a hole In
the top to let out the smoke. It Is an
Institution In soviet Russia and Is an
Invention of the kind or which neces
sity Is the mother.
In the communistic habitations of
the ruined nnd homeless bourgeoisie It
tnkes the place of both heating ar
rangements and the kitchen range.
Nearly everybody makes Ids own hour-
geolen out of whatever materials he
may be able to come by, nnd In social
circles It provides a tttplc of conversa
tion of never-ending, interest. Their
habits and the various methods em

FORCED TO GIVE UP HAREMS
Financial Necessity Really the Mother
of Any Turkish Reform in
That Direction.
WASHINGTON ON SWAMP
The word "iiurem.” for nil its rich
connotation, is now simply the name
for the women's quarters In the Turk
ish home. Poverty in the palaces and
out of them is more responsible than
western ideals for the changed condi
tion there.
Education and the world movement
for broadening t In* freedom of women
have, of course, had their Influence.
The French novel also put a window of
u kind in the Turkish harem, nnd
many Turkish men are vigorously pro
testing the notions of freedom which
they have put Into the heads of the
women.
Rut necessity, rising nut fit the long,
protracted wars, is the real mother
of freedom for Turkish' women. The j
Turkish coffers, both public and pri
vate.’are ton depleted to permit the
expensive establishments of the old
days. Men are no longer able to main
tain women in idleness, nnd war, with
its demands on nmn power, ha
woman labor an uptnal neee
negle corporation, which has made un
appropriation for research work at
the Rotter metabolic laboratory and
clinic In California. The treatment
that is being administered has given
relief in practically all the cases un
der observation.
The ravages of the disease have
been checked by application of a
serum discovered by Canadian physi
cians working under Dr. Jji. K/ Mac-
leod of the University of Toront^f
This serum has been used at the Rot
ter laboratory. Thus far relief has
been dependent upon constant appli
cation of the senna. It Is. too, early,
physicians say, to describe the treat
ment as a "sure cure" for diabetes,
for the experiments at the Rotter
laboratory have been going on for only
IS months.
Dr. Henry S. Pritchett, president
of the Carnegie eorporation, who re
cently visifpd the Rotter clinie and ob
served the experiments .there, has
made a report on the study and treat
ment there of diabetes, for incorpora
tion In the annual report of the cor
poration.
Doctor Potter Plrat Started Work.
Doctor Potter’s metabolic research
began at the French hospital here.
He removed to Santa Barbara, Cal.,
where a metabolic clinic and labora
tory was bfttlt by public-minded Cali
fornians. The Carnegie corporation
has aided the work by an annual ap
propriation. ■ Doctor Rotter died in
1010, and since then the work has been
curried on under the direction oi W.

ROOF ADJUSTED TO WEATHER
Comparatively Easy to Regulate Tem
perature of Houeee Constructed
of Blocks of Ice.
Changing the thickness of the roof
may not seem like a particularly
handy way to keep the temperature
of tlie house uniform. Certainly no
one would think of doing It in thnt
way In tills country. But In the Arctic
“shaving-off the roof' Is the regular
thing. Mr. Vllhjaimiir StefnrissoB, the
polar explorer, explains in ills hook.
"The Friendly Arctic,” Just how the
Eskimo does It.
If, says Mr. Stefansaon, the snow
house we were camping In was built
at 50 degrees below zero, each block
In the wall was then of that temper
ature and contained what we may un
scientifically speak of as a greet deal
of "latent cold." To neutralise the
cold It was necessary to keep the In
side of the house for a considerable
fltne at a temperature uf> perhapa ,60
degrees F. Snow Is so nearly a non
conductor of hent that, once the
"Intent cold" had been neutralized, the
heat of onr bodies kept the tempera
ture well above the freezing point,
even when the hole In the roof was
open for ventilation. But If the weath
er became a little warmer than It was
when we made camp, the heat of our
bodies or the heat from the fire would
raise the temperature too high, nnd
the roof would begin to melt. Then
we sent a man out with a knffe to
shave it anywhere from four tb two
Inches thinner so thnt the cold from
outside would penetrate the snow,
blocks and stop the thawing.
If the next day the weather turned
cold again, .hoarfrost would form on
the roof nnd drop ns snowflakes on
the lied. We would know then that
the roof was too thin nnd send a man
out to blanket it with soft snow.

j symptoms disappeared with the appli
cation of tlie serum, which is known
j as insulin. Convincing results of the
I efficiency of the serum were obtained
! by Doctor Banting In tlie cases of hu
mans suffering with tlie disease.
“on account of the admirable fa-
I elllties in tlie Potter Metabolic clinic
I in Sntitu Barbara and the opportunity
afforded by the close association of
laboratory and hospital,” Doctor
Pritchett's report says, "Doctor Mac
leod and his associates most gener
ously and kindly comniunionted to
Doctor Saiisinn and his staff hi Santa
Barbara such full information as they
had and because of the urgent need
for such an extract of the pancreas
urged their Immediate co-operation.
With the information tints generom -
given through Doctor Macleod, tin
stalT of the Rotter Metabolic clinic he

of the internal secretion of tlie pan-

secure a sufficient amount of insulin
to use on nine severe cases of dia

French Scientist Makes the Assertion
That the Real Color of the Sun
Is Blue.
All the daylight eonjes from the sun.
hut it arrives here by different ways.
The direct light, that which forms the
solid rays, has grown weak by its
passing through the atmosphere,
slightly for the red light, more so for
the blue. The diffused light of tlie
sky. where the blue predominates, is
made nil of ail that the direct radia
tion lacks.
The blue of the sky is taken from
tlie sun Itself and the result is that
we du not see the royal ?iar under its
true color. If by some miracle, which
science will perhaps realize, we could
rise about a hundred kilometers above
the diffusing layers of the atmosphere,
tlie solar disc would appear to us, not
white, hut bluish, standing out In ro-
!iof on a black sky, where stars glit
ter at full noon. In this way it would
appear to the "men in the moon" if
the moon were inhabited.
And this vision of science perfect
ly agrees with wh-.it we know of tlie
solar temperature. Physicists admit
thnt tlie radiant surface, the photo
sphere. is not far from a temperature
of 0,000 degrees C. It is, therefore,
bolter than the yellowish flame of
our gas burners, than the white light
of our electric lamps nnd the electric
arc itself, whose color is bluish.
Now. it Is known that the hotter n
radiant body is the richer It is in blue
and violet. Therefore, tlie sun is blue.
