Geographically, the Middle Atlantic states and the The Long, Long Trail Far West have the strongest expecta- tions of increased business. The significance of these data lies in the relationship between education and the expenditure of family in- come. Whether son and daughter ican obtain the education which they want, or which their parents have sought for them, frequently is a burning question. It demands solu- tion immediately after that of pro- Heavy sacrifices frequently are made and so it is only natural that colleges should share almost immediately in any return of prosperity. The fact that they are doing so gives added proof of the deep stir- rings which business is feeling on every hand. The Forest Army Good reports come from the 1,428 camps scattered over the country in which some 300,000 youths are en- rolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps. All ee of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. These amateur foresters, according to government officials, are earning their keep in improving the nation’s forests by building roads and bridges, clearing underbrush, protecting the forests against fire and pests, and Performing other useful tasks. In addition, the young men, most of whom otherwise would be idle, are engaged in healthful outdoor work, and se&m to be having a pretty good | time of it. The government is spend- ing about $20,000,000 a month in maintaining the corps, but most of this is sent to the families of the workers, who have been on reiief rolls. The forest army was originally en- listed for six months but, unless con- &ress objects, will be kept at work until spring because of the good showing that has been made in many Miners Return to Work ‘Trouble in Pennsylvania's mines apparently was ended Tuesday when union leaders voted unanimously to advise their followers to go back to work under President Roosevelt's truce, Satisfactory settlement of this dis- pute is a good thing for it was hav- ing a bad psychological effect on the entire country. For one group of workers to block, by their actions, ap- Plication of the new order, operated to throw a doubt on the entire pro- gram, Also, there were evidences that these men had gotten out of control of their leaders, that Communist agi- tators were active among them. Their PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE return to work will prove that the “reds” had no hold upon them, that they are sane American citizens who have no confidence in Russian meth- ods. To be sure, there are many who believe that many of the things evolved under the “new deal” are Communistic in their nature. ‘These districts.

GETTING THE CONFIDENCE OF A NEUROTIC are the die-hard standpatters who thrive on “equality of opportunity” and that sort of thing. ‘We can all be happy that they are wrong, for Communism would be quite as hard on the man at the bot- tom as on the man at the top. It would not do in America any of the things which Gre claimed for it. But we did need and will continue to need, a new social concept. Presi- dent Roosevelt, by welding together strong public opinion, has vitalized an idea which existed in most minds long before he advocated it. All of us knew it was a crime for anyone to starve or to go cold and ragged in this land which produces so much. The president has merely pointed the Way out. Sooner or later the methods now being applied to other industries will get around to the coal miners in Pennsylvania, They will find that cooperation with the government will bring them to their goal far more Enemies to Peace (New York Times) According to a recent survey by two professors in Teachers college, chil- dren between the ages of 10 and 15 veveal an “amazing desire” to glorify everything associated with war. That weakness is not peculiar to children. Many of their elders have the same blind spot on their mental retinas, Men all over the world, some of whom fought in the Great War, are mum- bling with child-like ignorance that we need another war to settle world Problems. “The next war” is already discussed as a certainty in many of- Tices, grocery stores, street corners, club lounges and smoking cars where men idle the time away with loose- thinking and muddle-headed conver- sation. While statesmen are bargain- ing together for armament reduction and peace treaties men who ought to know better are reasoning logically from ignorance and drugging them- selves into a helpless frame of mind. The homespun citizen who flounders about among big subjects is as much an enemy to peace as imperialistic governments. All good physicians know that it is essential to have the confidence of a “nervous” patient before one can do anything for the patient. Probably the best way to secure such confidence is by carrying out a complete examina- tion and a routine study of the func- tional and organic state of the pa- tient before hazarding an opinion about the diagnosis or offering any advice about treatment. Of course this takes time and costs money, and these “nervous” patients are reluctant to pay an “ordinary’ doctor for such service, so a good many of them gravi- tate sooner or later to the shop of some “specialist” whose repytation is built on just such cut and dried ma- chine tests of all clients, and the oc- casional light some laboratory test happens to throw on the obscure cause of the illness. Early in my sad career in practice a rather notorious neurotic gave me & whirl. The patient had tried all the other doctors in the community, and his friends warned me in advance, so I was ready for him. Well, I strung the poor fellow along in the best man- rapidly than any other method. ‘The work-shortening system proposed by the president is the only one which will permit them to attain any meas- Any one with the capacity for or- derly thinking knows that instead of settling the problems of the world an- other war would very nearly blast the civilized world out of existence. The urable degree of prosperity. last war very nearly did that. Al- though the dead have been buried, the living have inherited the suffering that never cases. Nationalism has Spread like an infectious disease. The economic affairs of the world have become so fiercely entangled that only the most heroic panning and enter- prise can loosen the knotted threads. There is not a single aspect to hu- man life, either artistic or economic, that has yet thrown off the poison which the last war spattered around The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers recent- ly estimated that in nine years §6,- 500 miners had been replaced by ma- chines, 75,000 by improved methods, and that 149,500 had been thrown out of work by decreased demand. Miners in 1930 numbered 620,000. Government figures showed work- ner of the time and plied him with the very latest and most marvellous remedies, but in due course he en- tered a sanitarium where electric and hydrotherapeutic and dietetic and rest cures were given, and eventually the patient came home to die. I per- suaded the family to have a necropsy or “autopsy” as we then called it. This disclosed gallstone and inflam- mation of the gallbladder. From that moment I ceased calling patients “neurotic,” In a certain number of “nervous” patients psychoanalysis discloses the obscure source of the fear. But before any attempt at psychoanalysis is made —and it should be undertaken only ing miners last spring were getting an average of 46 cents an hour for 24 hours a week, making their earn- ings $11 a week.

Obviously it would be futile to employ psychoanalysis if the patient happen- ed to be suffering from gallstones or from diabetes or from incipient tuber- culosis, Here it is fitting to warn those who consider themselves “nervous” or vic- tims of “nerve exhaustion” or ‘“neur- asthenia” or “nervous breakdown” that the latter day psychologists and “experts” who profess to teach you how to “control” your nerves or how to dominate your environment or how to gain your goal in war, love, business or social life, are all the bunk. After all you can’t hoist your- self by lifting on your own bootstraps. As a rule when a doctor calls a pa- tlent a “neurotic” or a “1 on= driac” he means he thinks nothing ails the patient really; that the symp- toms are just .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dog Bite Kindly advise treatment for person bitten by dog. (R. R. H.) Answer—All members of our house- hold have been bitten many times, by our dogs or the other dogs. A touch or swabbing with iodin has always been sufficient treatment. Should there be any anxiety about rabies, have the dog confined under observation of a veterinary two weeks. If in that time the dog shows no sign of the disease, forget it. If the animal is killed, send the head at once to the labora- tory designated by the local health authorities, If the pathologist reports that the animal had rabies, then your physician can give the Pasteur vac- cine at home. I am still an agnostic in regard to the occurrence of rabies in man. However, if I were bitten by found to contain the “Negri bodies,” I'd want to have the Pasteur treat- ment. But I am sure most of the seares about rabies are groundless— no matter whether health authorities share in the hysteria or not. Good Old Iodin hd I am six months pregnant.

But all of them put together can’t ap- proach the life-saving record of a plump and elderly little man named Dr. Martin Couney, who runs a con- cession on the boardwalk.

Heard the other day lj SYNOPSIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad and now—Palm Beach. Her castles crumble when her Aunt Pamela in- forms her that Mr. Braithwait’s fortune is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middle- aged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warn- ing her that love fades. Aunt Pam’s marriage with Jimmie Warren— handsome, young lawyer—was be- ginning to pall in spite of the ar- dent love they had had for each other. They still eared but the rou- tine of married life had made them “less lovers and more friends”. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascinating young camper, who only reveals his first name, Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another, Pat dis- courages future meetings. That night, Pam cautions Blaine to be matter-of-fact and not sentimental giving life to little Patricia, From|a dee) ning of th spli that moment John Braithwait lived | hundred miles: above cclewtns us but for his daughter.
