Big Problem
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 21 (P)
Mr. and Mn. Gilbert Stecker's
goldfish are a problem. Just
watering them is no ltty bitty
job.
. The Steckers bought a home.
Its previous owner suggested:
"There are a few goldfish in
the pool In the back yard.
You'd better seine them out
before the pool freezes."
Mrs. Stecker and a nurse,
armed with flashlights and a
seine, caught SO fish and put
them in a tub ln the basement.
Next morning they rescued 156
more.
Now there are two wash
boilers and a huge tank in the
basement and three aquariums
upstairs all thronging with
goldfish.
"Mr. Stecker," admits his
wife, "believes we have a few
too many."

Seems that the producer should

There Is always talk of meet

I've never known an actual pro

BUILDERS OF BRAIN POWER

PH. O- SCI. D.
Author of "More Zest for Life
An Ideal place in which he
can relax, is a mlle-a-minute
railroad train, says a noted mec
lalist ln psychological medicine.
Thla man should know, not
omy Decause he la Dr. Edmund
Jacobson, foremost authority on
relaxation, but also because he
commutes between New York
City and Chicago, spending time
equally in the two cities.
Dr. Jaoobson's unusual labor.
atory Is In the bustllna center of
Chicago, a better place than
many would suspect for study
ing relaxation. Here, the psy
chologist has discovered that
once people learn how to relax,
it does not matter whether they
are in the quiet country or the
busy city, they can still relax
as completely as a slooping kit
ten.
Delicate electrical anoartus is
Dr. Jacobson's measuring-rod of
relaxation and its beneficial ef
fects. In order to measure one'a
degree of relaxation, the labora
tory must be free from vibra
tions, as well as shielded from
stray electrical currents.
Since the floor of his skyscra
per laboratory was planned to
carry the weight of bank vaults,
vibration Is effectively eliminat
ed. Special wall construction
has been used to keep vagrant
electrical currents from disrupt
ing the delicate Instruments.
The muscles of the person bat
ing tested are connected with
Dr. Jacobson's apparatus by tiny
platinum electrodes which pick
up the infinitesimal currents
nindo by the muscles when they
are slightly tensed. Persons who
imagine thamialves to be re
laxed are amazed when these
electrodes pick up muscle cur
rents which are a sure sign that
there Is still some tension In the
muscles.
These residual muncul.r ten
sions? as Dr. Jacobson has
termed them, are the natural
enemies of complete relaxation.
Most persons can relax many of
their muscles easily enough, but
some tenseness remains In others
which offset many of tho good
results derived from the muscles
which are relaxed.
Tho tensed forehead, tight
muscles behind the ears, a tap
ping toe, these are the little mus
cle groups thot remain tense,
cause people to keep tense In
general. Poor sleep, high blood
pressure excessive fatigue, and
many of tho vogue ailments of
civilized men are sometimes the
result of tenseness lingering in
small muscles after the big
muscles have relaxed.
