ADVICEOFSCIENGE Experiments Show Mind Works Faster When Blood Has Chance to Flow Big Lunch Slows Thought By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor HAMILTON, N. T.. DC. . (AP) Justification for the man who like to work with his feet on hLs dMk was suggested today In experiments at Colgate university showing that feet higher than the head posture speeds mental work. He may be taking an easy way to get more blood to hla bratn. A few months ago Dr. Donald A. Laird, Colgate's professor of psychol ogy, found that office workers slowed down mentally after a heavy lunch more than after a light one. He sus pected the explanation might be that the digestive process was drawing blood from the brain. Try Thinking on Cot To test this, he had six young men annlgned to mental arithmetic while lying on cots, alternately tilted so that their heads were a foot lower than their feet and a foot higher. They made 100 successive mental additions In each position. With heads low they were 7.1 per cent fast er and 14.1 per cent more accurate The erect position of human be ings." said Dr. Laird, "apparently gives them a moderate perpetual handicap of cerebral anemia, a handicap which many probably accentuate by unwise eating while mental work Is to be done." Statue Cited Dr. Laird suggested Rodin's statue f the thinker, with bowed head, , might be a natural gesture of escape from this handicap. "Some of the implications," he ex plained, "are profound. The superior size and structure of the human brain may be an evolutionary over-corn pen- satlon to make up for this slowing and the Inaccuracy the upright po sition brought In Its wake. "Sleep itself may be more Impor tant for man than for the higher animals because the horizontal posi tion permits an Increased blood flow . through the brain." MRS. VANDERBILT TO APPEAL CASE JTEW TOBK, Dec. . p) Th blt . tea legal battle of Mrs. Olorla Morgan Vanderbllt to regain custody of her 32-yw-old daughter Gloria, heiress "to a $4.000 .000 fortune, appeared headed today for the highest court In the land. Mrs. Vanderbllt's attorneys an nounced her decision to appeal to the United States supreme court last ' night after the state's highest court refused to hear her appeal from a lower court ruling which denied her guardtanahip of the child. For about a year, little Olorla has been In the custody of her aunt, Mrs. Gertrude Vanderbllt Whitney, under an order of a lower court which heard Mrs. Whitney's witnesses accuse Mrs. Vanderbllt of improprieties wid of being unfit to care for the child. Later, the appellate division exon erated Mrs. Vanderbllt of misconduct, but ruled ahe was guilty of "persist ent Indifference' 'toward the child NEW YORK, Dec. 6. (AP) Pictur ing business and politics as rivals for the leadership of the American peo ple Bruce Barton, nationally known sales consultant, urged Industry to day to choose advertising as Us weapon for the conflict. In an address prepared for deliv ery before the Congress of American Industry, In conjunction with a con vention of the National Association of Manufacturers, Barton said: "Fundamentally, the people of the United States think they should havv a better life, more comfort, more se curity, more opportunity, more hope May Choose Method 'What they are likely to do Is to make a choice between Industry a no politics as to the easiest method of achieving all these benefits. "Industry and politics, at the mo ment, are competitors for the confi dence and favor of the same patron the public." Pointing to the accomplishment... of the automobile, farm Implements, electrical and steel Industries as ex amples of the benefits of bushier leadership. Barton salid: "We have n story to tell, but we do not tell It. "We have great benefits to confer upon the people if they will give m the opportunity, but we must per suade them that we are more reliable than the politicians; that we wil! work for them more cheaply and with more satisfaction." Should Tell Story Barton then asserted: "This story should be told with all the Imagina tion and art of which modern adver tising Is capable." Politics, he said, "has no such con vincing and persuasive story as this, the telling of it genuinely, consist ently, continuously, Is your surest path to victory In the competition." He warned, however, that "mere opposition and criticism are not much good. Attacks on the motives of our political competitors will not avail." He advised Industry for 1036 to "spend half as much time with our lawyers trying to circumvent the pol iticians, and twice as much time with our sales managers and advertising agents seeking to make ourselves popular with the boss of the politi cians the public."
