That result had entered into every forecast fs signed by the president. The case was a good deal jike that in which a bill, enacted by both branches of the state legislature, was “lost” and never got to the gov- ernor. In any event, the implications were the same. Although the code was designed to prevent it, the oil industry continued many wasteful practices, dissi- pating the natural resources of the country to reap im- mediate profits. In Texas, for example, great gas fields still are being depleted. Billions of feet of natural gas are being loosed into the atmosphere through plants which take a gallon of gasoline from each 10,000 cubic feet. ‘The day will come when that practice will be regarded es criminal, The oil business, dominant in Texas and Oklahoma, also has been evading the state conservation laws, ‘usually with the connivance of state officials who either are granted a share of the profits or who find it pos- sible to make “investments” which yield fabulous re- turns.

As a mere watcher of the parade I ask naively whether it is not nearly time to lay away in the cupboard the engaging but unscientific speculations of Weir Mitchell, Beard et al and examine a ttle more attentively the conceptions of William J. M. A Maloney and Edmund Jacobson, whose eta ila Serger ‘Progressive Relaxation,’ respectively, should be in every doctor's i Pero these two classics I shall quote just enough to make up s little pe in Laigagsr of tik ¢ from p. 1 loney: “The relaxation of the neck and trunk muscles is best accom- plished while the patient sits. The patient’s arms should hang limp- ly by his side, and his feet, crossed one over the other, should on their outer aes ed head should next in all directions, slowly and repeatedly. , ported trunk, the head is allowed to fall passively backward and for- ward, by its own weight.

Dr. Sialoney’s Book. and for that matter Dr. Jacobson’s, too, is rather too technical for a layman to tackle in any circumstance, but both books should be worth @ careful study to any physician. Dr. Jacol issued an excellent little book entitled “You Must Relax,” and suitable for the lay reader. Oné thing Dr. Jacobson has done for me—a good many of readers will be delighted, I hope. He has taught me to take view of “nervousness,” “overactive nerves” or “high tension’ taken. Don’t know but what I'll have to pipe down a bit on my division of all nervous wrecks or weak nerve people into Class A and neurotics. With a great blush I am thinking of opening a third accommodate the adrenin-intoxicated geeks—but don’t rush me about imposters, and don’t irritate me at this delicate juncture by anonymous sneers. Just give me time and maybe I'll get around to straightening situation out. However, if you count on getting any support from nervous imposition, I assure you right now that you're out of luck. Class B Neurotics I can only say, as dear old Dr. Munyon used to tell prose pective customers “There is hope”—pointing to heaven. If Class B Neuro- tics are admitted to heaven, I don’t want to go there. (Readers in doubt which class they belong to, send ten cents coin and stamped address envelope for booklet “Nervous Imposition.”) What Dr. Jacobson shows is that “tension” or “nervousness” is often actual muscular tension, excessive contraction of muscles and waste of energy. Among the conditions which have led well to “dif- ferential relaxation” as Dr. Jacobson calls it, are high blood pressure, spastic colitis, insomnia and restless sleep, and various phobias and anxieties or fears which the patient suffers even though he knows they are absurd.
