Darwinian C0oiCiept Helps
Prove Actial Existence
Of Relationship Theory
By ROBERT SPECKHARD
You may have hives in the morn-
ing, indigestion in the afternoon and
top the day off with an attack of
asthma, but you have a compensa-
tion-you are more intelligent-and
don't let some skeptic convince you
otherwise, because we've got facts to
prove it, Dr. Buenaventura Jimenez,
head of the Allergy Department of
the Health Service declared yester-
day.
The conclusion is the result of nine
years of data compiled from com-
paring standardintelligence tests
given to incoming freshmen and
records of the Allergy Department,
Dr. Jimenez said.
From the deailed life histories of
the freshmen and relatives and actual
tests given at the Health Service, the
Allergy Department statistically sep-
arates those who are not allergic
(Control Group) and those who suf-
fer from various degrees of hyper-
sensitivity in order of severity (Aller-
gic Group I, II, etc.)
The intelligence scores of these
groups on the standard tests given
in psychology, algebra, English, and
"How to Sudy" are then computed.
The probability that these tests are
true measures of intelligence is high,
but not perfect, Dr. Jimenez stated,
but the results of correlating allergy
and intelligence recorcs are so indica-
tive of a relationship as to rule out
error in the conclusion.
An example will best illustrate the
basis for Dr. Jimenez' conclusion
that allergic people have a higher
degree of general intelligence. On
the English test 44.9 per cent of Al-
lergic Group I scored in the lower
half on the test, while 55.1 per cent
had scores ranging in the upper half.
In contrast to this only 46.9 per cent
of the non-allergic Control Group
scored in the upper half on the test,
while 53.1 per cent were in the lower
half.
This same stratification exists in
all the other tests with very minor
percentage differences, indicating
that the differences are not of partic-

to get though," she said, "but there
wasn't any especial stigma attached
to it. Everyone knows his professors
in Europe. I think you're missing
something."
A more pronounced criticism was
leveled by Miss Barrymore at the
method of teaching languages-that
of emphasizing reading and syntax
in beginning classes. "You didn't
learn to read English first, did you?"
she asked. "You had people talk a
lot of words at you before you began
to understand everything they said.
"You ought to learn to speak first,"
she declared. "Certainly you'll make
atrocious errors, but you'll learn from
them, When I was in Italy I prob-
ably shocked everybody by my terri-
ble Italian, but I soon learned some-
thing of the language, just by using
it."

ular abilities but of general intelli-
gence.
As far as a theory to explain this
phenomena, one must be tentative,
Dr. Jimenez said. Other work in
this direction has been done, how-
ever, and a theory has been evolved
explaining the relationship between
allergy and intelligenec that the data
proves does exist.
The frame of reference for the
theory is the Darwinian concept of
evolution through variation and in-
heritance. The theory itself is a
cellular explanationy
A person who inheitits the activity
to become specifically sensitive to cat
hair, pollen, food protein, or some
other offending agentrhas a body that
is made up of cells which are huper-
irritable or hyperactive compared
with the normal. The brain cells of
the allergic person may also be ir-
ritable or hyperactive compared with
the normal, which might account for
the hyperactive mind of the allergic
person.
Dr. Jimenez conceives of these peo-
ple with the variation of hyperactive
body and brain cells as being in ad-
vance of the main evolutionary
stream. Hyperactive brain cells re-
sult in greater mental activity (high-
er general intelligence) but hyper-
active body cells result in hypersen-
sitiveness or allergy. Those who are
more intelligent must suffer by be-
ing allergic.
Whether persons who are allergic
can adapt their hyperactive body cell
variation to our environment and
thus eliminate or reduce their aller-
gic condition is problematical, Dr.
Jimenez declared, but meanwhile
they can console themselves with the
thought that they are the more in-
telligent vanguard in the evolution-
ary stream.
