N., who retired some years ago after long and distinguished service in the navy, believes that the repub- lic as a whole right now is going through the same difficult sort of transition period that the navy went through in Admiral Fiske’s youth. When Admiral Fiske was a strip- ling officer, back in 1880, the Ameri- can navy was composed largely of ships in which old-time sailors like Nelson could have felt quite at home; wooden sailing ships firing muzzle- loading smooth bores by broadsides, manned by men to whom steam power was anathema. “Within a decade all that was changed, and with what difficulty!” says the admiral. “The officers had to learn, or invent, rather, a new profession. The ships and guns had to be built, they had to be handled and a strategy for them had to be devised. A whole new method of thought had to be created. Do you see the analogy? “That was our material improve- ment, We've had that in the coun- “try, too, now. We've gone from little ‘wooden ships to the steel monsters, literally and figuratively.” ‘The parallel is a good one; and the way in which the navy accom- modated itself to radically changed conditions may, as Admiral Fiske believes, point a moral for the na- tion as a whole. Those old-time navy officers, who, in Admiral Fiske’s words, “loved their beautiful white sails and spot- less decks, and could not bear the thought of smoke and machinery,” are not unlike the modern politicians and business men who look back to the social and economic order of a by-gone day and wish to bring it back again. Mechanical developments made a change in the navy as inevitable as the sunrise. The problem wasn’t solved until the navy officers stopped wringing their hands over the de- cline of the old ways and set to work to bring the service into line with modern inventions. In the same way, modern devel- opments in manufacturing, in trans- portation, in distribution and in finance have changed the picture for the nation itself. It will do us no good to look back regretfully to the day of unchecked individualism, small businesses and keep-the-government-out-of-business, ‘We can solve our problem only as the navy men solved theirs—by Pitching in wholeheartedly, calling on the technicians for help and resolv- ing to accommodate our institutions to changed conditions. Did We Win or Lose? Indications are that our delegates Soon will be coming home from the London conference and the nation will have to decide for itself whether that meeting was a success or a failure. ‘The individual view will depend on reactions to the things which hap- pened during the period of this im- portant gathering and some may find difficulty in seeing just where we, or anyone else, gained anything. This stand is easily supported by calling into question the achieve- ments of the conference. There were no substantial agreements reached to remove trade barriers or otherwise Put world commerce on a more favor- able basis. Practically all of the items on the original program went by the boards after America refused to discuss, debts and currency stabil- ization. To be sure, committees will con- tinue to work at these subjects but no ome expects any results in the near future and this phase of the conference becomes a gesture, at least for the time being. On the other hand, it is not im- possible that America gained much at London. First of all, she won the respect of the rest of the world, a valuable replacement for the con- tempt in which we heretofore have been held. She lost nothing of af- fection, because sentiment has no Place in world diplomacy and Euro- pe’s friendship for the United States has proved a rather - diaphanous It taught us that France and some other nations are not yet sick enough to submit themselves to the drastic treatment needed to cure the malady of the world business depression.

Safeguarding the Investor A. A. Berle, Jr., a member of the Rooseveltian “brain trust,” writes in the current issue of the American Bankers Association Journal that in- vestment bankers should form a sort of “committee of public safety” to scrutinize all investment banking pro- posals from the standpoint of public interest and to oppose all such trans- actions of which it did not approve. In the same issue, a Massachusetts banker objects to the plan on the ground that while such a committee would have little trouble in passing on really high-grade issues or in re- Jecting issues of a frankly suspicious character, “it would have great dif- ficulty in passing on the mass of securities between these extremes, be- cause the final determination of their investment value would always rest in the future.” Here, it seems, is a slight miscon- ception of the case. Certainly no committee could be wise enough to say that any given security issue will always be worth 100 cents on the dol- lar. The investor must always face a certain element of risk. What such a committee could do is make certain that securities were issued in the pro- per manner, based on sound assets and put on the market with all es- sential facts made public. Toy Business Booms Looking for results of inflation in American business is hardly a pay- ing proposition yet, since few really inflationary steps have actually been taken; nevertheless, the director of the Toy Manufacturers of the United States reports that inflation has al- ready caused a boom in the toy busi- ness, Not long ago toy makers held a “Toy Fair,” attended by buyers from all over the country; and sales re- corded at this fair were 75 per cent over those sold at a similar fair. James L. Fri, director of the manu- facturers’ association, attributes this largely to the inflation program. Buyers, he said, sought to get their orders in now in advance of rising Prices. As a result, 300 American toy factories will have increased produc- tion schedules and larger payrolls this summer.

When Engineers Differ (New York Tiies) Only a few days ago Professor Compton was predicting that very soon engineers will rule the world. Their conceptions and creations, their applications of science, their skill and accuracy will so capture the imagination of all people that they cannot fail to be employed to take charge of public affairs. But if they are ever to rule the world, they must first learn how to rule their own spirits. This they are not always able to do. At Chicago, on Thurs- day, some of them had a violent con- troversy about the estimated costs of the different plans for the St. Law- rence water-power development. When one professor of engineering from the University of Wisconsin read a paper intimating that the project of the American engineers was better than that of the Cana- dians, which had been adopted as a compromise in the pending treaty, and proceeded to show that the in- dicated cost of the enterprise was many millions below what would actually prove to be the case, he was openly accused of being a “tool of the interests.” Mr. Walsh of our own Power authority charged him with a Sinister motive, and Senator La Fol- lette of Wisconsin telegraphed that he had long known this member of the faculty of the university of his own state to have been tied up with “the private utilities.” Only imagine @ renegade like that employed by the State of Wisconsin! The incident is of no great conse- quence in itself. It does suggest, however, what may happen to engi- neers when they are pitted against Politicians. Engineering may go well with public rule, but will not mix easily with politics. The exact sciences will break down when they come into collision with the loose and lavish arts of politics. Once let a Political motive intrude into the at- Mosphere of science and it will cease to be serene. Politicians engender heat enough to make havoc of cool engineering methods. Even mathe- matics could not hold its own in a conference of politicians. A shrewd teacher once told his students that if public men saw a certainty of win- ning votes by it, they would main- tain that two and two make not four but five, aS City authorities in Canton, Mo., once evolved @ new system of clean- ing clogged sewers by attaching 350 feet of rope to the tail of a snapping turtle and sending it through the sewer, From July 14 to 17, 1911, 88.15 Philippine Islands; inches fell on one day. to that of Texas, California, Mon- pee Maryland and Delaware. still dom- inates; tat they have no broad view of world affairs; that they scoff at the doctrine of brotherly love and It is not impossible that the con- ference will be resumed after the If things continue to go from bad to worse in Europe, the nations which blocked progress at this meeting may change their tune and seek to revive the gathering.

No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. Letters should be brief and written ANALYSIS OF A NERVOUS WRECK All who purport to have bad nerves or nervous exhaustion are afraid of something. The Class B_ neurotics, the crooks, the malingerers, who, thank heaven, constitute only a mi- nority of all nervous wrecks, know what they’re afraid of; they're afraid of being found out. The Class A nervous impostors are too dumb to comprehend that the origin and foundation of their “nervousness” is fear, worry, anxiety. But these Class A neurotics are not bad at heart, as a rule, and there is always hope for them provided they have as much in- telligence as the normal ten-year-old child. You know, a normal ten-year- old child will presently lay aside his belief in Santa Claus and the Stork if you assure him again and again that there are no such birds. Like- wise he will cease to believe in nerv- ous exhaustion if you assure him over and over that in truth there is no such thing, since there is no such thing s nerve energy apart from ordinary physical, muscular or bodily energy. In order to restore a Class A nerv- ous wreck to sobriety, usefulness and happiness, the first requirement is a general physical examination, or call it a health examination, by a phy- sician who doesn’t care a damn whether the client pretends to be “nervous” or not. In any case it is a mistake to suggest to a physician that you are nervous—it is a tempta- tion to him to lay any organic or functional impairments or defici- encies the examination discloses to your bad nerves, and that, of course is sheer hocus-pocus. An examination by an honest doc- tor may determine what ails you really. This being a health column we shall not suggest a thousand and one things that masquerade as “nervous exhaustion” or “nervous breakdown.” Just one of the less common things will suffice—unsuspected diabetes. Hastily turning now to the further pursuit of the occult source of fear, if the medical examination fails to show any definite physical ailment, next in order, that is, if you sincerely desire to be restored, is a quiet talk with your physician, or with your spiritual adviser or with any good friend whose character and education command your respect, a talk about life in general and your views or principles or aims in particular. Such conversation, or a series of such chats, may bring to light the hidden com- plex or conflict that keeps you wor- vied. In many cases where such inter- views are not feasible, psychoanaly- sis by a psychiatrist (a physician who limits his practice to mental dis- eases) and not a mere psychologist who is not a physician, is advisable. From two to six miles of oxygen on the lkpof, or on the pushbike, is probably the best daily outlet for that “nervous tension” which, naturally and primitively, is the increased out- Put of physical or bodily or muscular energy caused by the emotion of fear and expended in fighting or fleeing.

Is the cause of this known and is there any cure for it? (J. O. N.) Answer—The cause is not known. All doctors know as little about it as Little knew. The name is applied to various congenital conditions ranging from idiocy and epilepsy to spastic paralysis without mental defect. The outlook is not encouraging in cases with scissors gait, ataxic movements and involuntary twitching or tremb- ling of the hands, though with growth and good training the patient may acquire sufficient control to get about and take care of himself.

But isn’t that the secret of a thousand successes in the quackery trade? | Monophobia Due to a “nervous breakdown” lasting 2% years I have a great fear of going anywhere unescorted .. many nerve specialists have fed me on sedatives ... (Mrs, J. L.) Answer—A “nerve specialist” is just a highly refined quack. There is no honest excuse for such a “spe- cialty.” Mind, I am not referring to psychiatry. Your phobia is a com- mon one. Most healthy individuals have one or another such phobia or peculiar fear which they know is un- reasonable. Why take it so serious- ly? It is amusing if you just acknowledge it and compare with the phobias of your friends. (Copyright, 1933, John F. Dille Co.) BY JULIA BLANSHARD New York, July 7—Being one of the few ambidextrous dentists in this city proved a tremendous asset to Dr. David Slutskin the other day. In the middle of the afternoon be- fore the Carnera-Sharkey fight, Car- nera’s manager raced into Dr. Slut- skin’s office out of breath. Carnera had just broken the only rubber mouthpiece he possessed for fights— and could Dr. Slutskin get one made in time for the fight? These mouthpieces are made of rubber, fitted carefully over the en- tire upper set of teeth, then vulcan- ized into a plate_that amounts to a hard cover-all for the upper teeth and a protection for the lips. The Boxing Commission has ruled that all boxers must wear them, to keep their tongues and lips from being cut. Dr. Slutskin got both his hands working and in four hours flat he had the mouthpiece finished and was en route with it to the Madison Square Bowl. He got there just in the nick of time. However, the next day he made another one so that Carnera now packs a spare, just for such an emergency. They cost $25 each, by the way. * e # -| A Doggy Operation Buff Dempster, one of New York's most successful advertising copy writ- ers, and her husband have a pet Schnauzer, Peter, who recently suf- fered from whip worms in his ap- pendix.
