Butjto what extent it s possi- ble to measure this among men who ! served in the Army only during tne war is doubtful, the only continuing data available belng that derived from regular examination of the com- manding officer of the regular ser- vice. Regular Army Officers Suffer. “Analysis of the records,” Surgeon Gen. Ireland eald, “will probably show that physical deterioration was more marked In the commanding per_ sonnel of the Regular Army than In the emergency forces, because a rela- tively larger percentage of the former was charged with greater responsi- bilitles, entailing excessive strain, both mental and physical.” Symptoms of physical deterloration noted by the staft of the attending ‘geon here Included: nstability of the nervous system, characterized more particularly by LAUDS LIBRARIAN AS LIAISON OFFICER Medium Between Knowledge of Ages and Truth Seekers, Says Spegialist. The librarian is the llaison officer between the accumulated knowledge of all the ages and the great army of seekers after truth, declared Wil- liam Mather Lewis, education special- 1st of the National Chamber of Com- merce civic development department before the “program of work meet- ing” of the District of Columbia Li- brary Assoclation at the Grace Dodg Hotel last night. “The practice of ridiculing the high brow’ is less common in America tha. formerly,” Mr. Lewis sald. “The hard- shell agriculturizt who has grown prematurely old trying to force living from the impoverished New England hillside takes his hat off t the 'book farmer’ from the university who makes the land yield abundantly In the field of finance the get-rich- quick schemes of an easler day are giving_way to sound study of econom- ics. The war was fought by chemlst and physicists and mathematicians. Becomes Important Factor. “In_view of these conditlons the librarian becomes a more important factor in progress than ever before He is the llalson officer between the accumulated knowledge of all the ages and the great army of seekers after truth. The great majority of our people leave school before they enter the high school. The library from then on throughout their lives becomes their achool and university. it was to Abraham Lincoln. “Most people do not know of the special libraries in the various gov- ernment but they are the the facts which aid them in serving the pubiic efficiently. The department librarians never siep into the lime- rght, but without them the business of government would be sadly handi- capped. City Leads in Librarians. “There are more librarians employ- ed in Washington than in any city of equal size in the United States, from which it is falr tq deduce that the rate of knowledge per capita out- ranks all other communitie: More than one hundred Washington librarians attended the meeting, which called by President Dorsey W. 3r., for purpose of formulating ‘uctive program of District library activities. Refreshments were served at 9 o'clock, after which the meeting broke up into groups for de- tailed consideration of the “program of work.” The program as proposed ‘provides for a careful investigation of the informational resources of Wash- ington institutions; for consideration of professional problems, such as re- classification and training for libra- rianship; educational and publicity work; employment service and mem- bership increase. RADIOPHONE LECTURES. Public Health Official Sends Out Medical Advice.

Psychasthenia Prevalent As Aftermath of World War |Marines to Be Chosen for National SDAY, affection of the vazo-motor system. ‘An unnatural tendency to WOITY, fatiguability, low blood pressure and lowered resistance to all infectious diseases.” The doctors ‘agreed in diagnosing the conditions found as * has- thenla.”” They also have noted “a de- cided tendency toward increased in- trospection and mental exaggcration of all forms of worry and mild phy- slcal ills. Blood Pressures Differ. One peculiarity noted at the Army Medical School in reviewing reports of examining surgeons was what ap- peared to be the effect on blood pr sure taken in relation to the age of the officers. While comparative pre- war data was not available for study, the opinion was expressed that “the blood pressure of those officers who served in the A. E. F. who were over forty-five years of age, was material- ly raised and in a maljority of cases abnormally so, and in the case of younger officers, twenty-five to thirty years of age, was in the same degree decreased.” For ‘several months an unusual flow of officers ordered to hospitals for ob- servation and treatment has been evi- dent in Army orders. It has caused some anxiety among officers general- ly, as there was.fear that a new policy of retiring any officer not found immediately fit for field service might underly the orders, This was de- nied authoritatively at the War De- partment. The orders directing that officers submit to hospital observa- tion and treatment meant merely that symptoms had been discovered in the routine physical examinations which rel‘z(;.llred study and treatment, it was suid.
