Negro Rhythms Have an
Effect on Americans
That Negro rhythms are having
an effect on American mentality is
suggested by Dr. Fritz Kunkel, au
thor and psychotherapist, late of Vi
enna, who, with three other foreign
psychologists, watched the reactions
of an audience of 1,200 of the stu
dents and faculty of the Los Angeles
campus of the University of Cali
fornia during a program of Voodoo
music and spirituals.
Their presence unknown to the au
dience, the five visitors noted on the
listeners’ part a synchronization of
breathing with the music, also per
ceptible body movements during
many of the numbers sung by the
Negro chorus.
“We perceive classical music with
ear and brain,” stated Dr. Kunkel.
"In the case of the Negro music the
whole body responds. The breath
ing and the diaphragm function dif
ferently. Young persons especially
are affected by the African rhythms.
“If you watch an acrobat your
body instinctively repeats the move
ments you see. The more musical
members of an audience are the i
ones most affected, and what they
hear produces some inner change.
It is not too much to say that over
a long period of time any population
might be affected in some undeter
mined way by hearing these synco
pated rhythms. I believe the ef
fects of such a program as that at
Royce hall remain for an hour or
two with the average person.”
Dr. Kunkel said that music was
used by the ancients to cure kinds
of mental and nervous ailments,
notably in classic Greece.
John Adams and Wife
First in White House
The White House tenure of Presi
dent John Adams and his wife,
Abigail, first occupants of the resi
dence, was less than four months.
While Washington never lived in the
White House, his imprint is strong
upon it. He and Thomas Jefferson
were the men who visualized a na
tional “palace.”
When President John Adams and
“his pinch-nosed spouse” arrived on
that bleak November day in 1800,
after having been lost in the wilder
ness of Maryland on the way, they
were confronted by a “building 160
feet long, bare as a bone and stand
ing on the edge of a swamp,” a 1
swamp that was not to be drained
for another 40 years, writes Clifford
F. Butcher in the Milwaukee Jour
nal.
“In it the brackish backwaters of
the drowsy Potomac mingled with
tidewater that rose and fell on the
impulses of an ocean 100 miles
away. The river sprawled through
reeds and marshes, and gave off all
the odors of decay.
There was no paving, no water
system and no drainage in the fed
eral district. Water was carried to
the house through an open board
trough from a nearby spring.
Romans Perfumed Baths
Lavendula verd belongs to the
family of Labiatae, growing wild on
the dry and sunny elevated loca
tions of France, Italy, Spain and
North Africa. The center of laven
der cultivation has been in the Al
pine region and southern Mediter
ranean coast of France, in England
and southern Russia. Before the
war France produced more than a
; quarter of a million pounds of lav
ender oil per year.
The Romans are reported to have
perfumed their baths with lavender
and hence the name, for the Latin
, word “lavare” means “to wash.”
The spikenard of the Bible is laven
der, the name being composed of
' Nardus, a town in Syria, and spike.
There is an old superstition in Tus
cany that lavender protects little
children from the famous evil eye.
In North Africa there is a prevail
ing belief by Kabyle women that
the use of lavender will prevent
them from being mistreated by their
husbands.
Science of Chemurgy
Soapweed, also called bear grass,
but properly listed as yucca, may
become the source of materials for
quick-lather soap. The Indians in
Mexico and South America for cen
turies have cultivated some of the
varieties of this plant for its strong
fiber as well as for distilling alco
hol from its juice and making soap
from the roots.
There will be no shortage of the
cold-relieving drug, ephedrine, de
spite stoppage of supplies from Chi
na, according to Science Service.
The report indicates that a synthetic
ephedrine has been developed by
American chemists.
Electric refrigerators are sched
uled to have more than 50 pjastic
parts in 1942, according to Dr. Wil
liam A. Hamor, associate director
of the Mellon Institute of Industrial
Research.
Feigned Visual Disability
Feigned blindness in one eye,
I sometimes encountered in industrial
I disability claims, can be detected
i by several tests, according to the
Better Vision institute. One simple
I method to uncover malingering is to
; place a red glass before the good
| eye and a green glass before the a!
I legedly blind eye. Then the subject
j is directed to read rapidly number. l
\ and letters printed partly in red am
black on a card. If the rod and
1 black characters are read equal!'
well, then there is vision in hot
I eyes. Various types of "-‘nses alsi
are used to detect feigned v.;,ua
disabilities.

The 155-millimeter gun is the mod
ern version of the old “GPF” of
World War I days. It has a range
fifty percent greater than the old
gun, heaving a 95-pound projectile
approximately 15 miles. It is capa
ble of high road speed and each
one costs $50,000.^
Arsenals of America are working
at terrific speed turning out this long
range, effective weapon for our
armed forces. You and your neigh
bor working hand-in-hand in unity
can make possible the purchase of
an adequate number of these guns
by buying War Bonds. Put 10 per
cent of your income in War Bonds to
help reach your county quota, every (
