Meanwhile, meetings similar to the protest gathering here were ar ranged elsewhere in the Crolinas. Salesmen in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point will met Wednesday night.

All of our senses—sight, hearing smell, feeling and taste itself com bine to make a meal taste delic ious. You go home at night and hear something sizzling in the kit chen and the sense of hearing gives you an anticipatcry feeling of plea sure. The famous experiments of Pavlov, the Russian physiologist, proved that the sight of food caused digestive secretions to start to flow when the sight was pleasurable and also dried themup when the spect acle was disgusting. Smell probably enters into taste more than either of these senses—in fact, it is al most a part of taste itself. Just exactly what taste is, is quite as much of a mystery as what any of the other senses are. According to the physiologist there are four primary tastes, sweet, sour, salt and acid, and it can be proved by blindfolding a person and dipping a pledget of cotton in solutions of sugared water, salt, vinegar, and acid, that the tongue is divided into areas which ap preciate these tastes and none oth er. Mixture of Tastes But for most of us the pleasure of tasting an article of food does not depend upon its primary taste but upon a mixture of all of them. It would be hard for you to say whether such articles as meat and potatoes or bread and butter were sweet, sour, bitter or salt. Hot chocolate, if it is not sweet ened too much, can be analyzed into the four primary taste sensa tions, but hot chocolate really gives pleasure more by its smeil than by any of the elements of the sense of taste. Nobody is able to taste anything very much unless the mouth is moist or unless the article of food in moist. The taste buds in the mouth are pocketed in iittle wells and in order t0 reach them the article to be tasted must be in so lution. The part that taste plays in nu trition, in fact, in life and in civili zation can hardly be exaggerated. Criminals and imbeciles are said to lack taste dscrimination almost completely. Our senses have made our world for us and we have real ly investigated little else than what our senses are able to perceive. Physicists have investigated the nature of light, sound, and weight because we see, hear, and feel. Taste has undoubtely determined the nutrition of our bodies to the extent that we like the taste of substances which contain vitamins and tire of the monotony and in sipidity of the substances which do not contain vitamins and minerals. For this reason I do not worry too much about the pronounce ments of the laboratory scientists who think we are likely to get in to a bad condition of nutrition be cause we do not eat the substances that have vitamins in them. F. K. A.:—If a woman has been told that her blood test is absolute ly perfect, could she have amalig nant tumor? It seems to me that a cancerous condition in any part of the body would show up in the blood stream. Answer: Cancer has no influ ence on any blood tests that are ordinarily given. There is no sub stance that occurs in the blood in the course of cancer which is diagnostic. D. L. F.:—What is the cause and remedy for car sickness and sea sickness? Answer; The cause of both is the motion of the train or ship, which moves the fluid in the semi circular canals of the middle ear about. No remedy is very good, but any kind of a headache pow der will help. -V Waynesville Explosion Claims Sixth Victim WAYNESVILLE, July IS.—(#)— The explosion of the tandard Oil company gasoline tanks here Tues day claimed the sixth victim today when Thomas Dewitt Taylor, 27, driver for the Petroleum Transfer company of Gastonia, died in the Haywood county hospital. Taylor resided at Spartan^krg and is survived by his wife; nvo small children; his father, Ira Taylor; and a brother, Eugene Taylor of Thalman, Ga. Four victims in the explosion died the explosion of the Standard oil bed Thursday. -V SEAMEN RESCUED WASHINGTON, July UP) — The Navy reported today that a Coast Guard pilot, overloading his plane far beyond its recognized capacity, recently rescued 21 Nor wegian seamen adrift in the Gulf of Mexico after their ship had been torpedoed.
