New York, March 10.—The Mexican situation loomed on the financial hor- izon today, more than neutralizing the feeling of ‘quiet confidence created by the recent turn of affairs across the water. News that the government had decided to send a punitive force into Mexican territory caused a marked halt in the strensth and activity of the forenoon. Quotations of important stocks shaded one to two points from their best, but shares of companies having interests across the southern border, notably Southern Pacific, Mexi- can Petroleum and American Smelting, rose smartly. ‘Conspicuous_among the strong fea- tures of the first half of the session were Butte and Superior and American Zinc at the new high records of 99 and 89, respectively. Butte sold minus its regular and “extra” dividends of 10 3-4 per cent. Coppers in general were higher. Industrials and equipments which figure prominently among the muni- tions scored gains of two to four points, the chief feature of that group being Crucible and Lackawanna Steels, American_and_Baldwin Locomotive: Pressed Steel Car and American Steel Foundrq. Among semi-war descrip- tlons, such as Mercantile Marine pre- ferred, Motors, Continental Can and Cuban-American Sugar, gains ranged from two to five polnts: TUnited States Steel yvielded active leadership to Crucible Steel and Amer- ican Locomotive and failed to make more than slight response to the Feb- ruary statement of unfllled tonnage. This disclosed an increase of almost 650,000 tons and brought the aggregate of unfilled orders up to the unprece- dented total of about 8,569,000 tons. Bethlehem Steel was more than ordi- narily active, opening off 3 at 481 rising to 495, and closing at 486. Total sales of stocks aggregated 615,000 shares. Firmness prevailed on the exchange market, remittances to Germany ruling well above low records registered yes- terday. There was little actual busi- ness, however, even sterling bills being in skght demand. The international list was steadier than.recently, a con- dition attributed to reports that our bankers were co-operatin gwith British financlers in the concentration of American securities. Bonds developed an irregular tone, chiefly as a result of renewed heavy offerings of Anglo-French fives, which were offered in large individuval totals at 94, a marked recession from the re- cent maximum. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,735,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. Aaska Goid Il Allls” Chal _etts’ Am Chem. im, tiieet Sugar Can . Can pt . Cor & Fary Coal Prod im.

He Efforts to prevent individuals from developing mental disease may posei- Dly be considered as vague and of doubtful value, or even unnecessery. The powers of resistance of an indi- vidual pnind against undue stram cannot be accurately estimated, but the same reasoning would apply to preventive work in physical dlsease. We cannot say that a certain member of a family would of necessity devel- op typhoid fever if exposed to infec- tion,” but that does not stop us from establishing proper precautions con- cerning the water and milk supply of the household. While the general | problem may seem intangible, it is not difficult to see the mental danger to a young girl in monotonous factory work for ten hours dally, based on scanty or ill-chosen food, and unre- lieved by the prospect of soclal pleas- ure and relaxation. One trained to observe can see the perils threatening | the overburdened worker who turns home to face the care of an invalld and who finally from mental exhaus- tion gets distorted ideas of the nelgh- bor's interest in her. The man whose father died insane is haunted by fears of interited weakness, and if not ad- vised and reassured may soon bring on himself the fate he dreads. The woman who remembers the depres- sion which two years ago clouded her reason needs to be helped through periods of despondency if she Is to re- main sane. Needed In Family. Preventive measures are also defin- itely needed in a family where one member has already developed men- tal disease. The sane hereditary pre- disposition to nervousness may be the heritage of all the members allke, and the precautions of a hygienic planning of ths daily life and a smoothing of difficulties of adjustment in family or social relations will do much to pre- vent a second case of insanity. Bad mental habits of suspicion, sulki- ness, brooding, excitability, or out- bursts of passion, are just so many danger signals, which indicate trou- ble ahead. We have learned that a habit of stooping makes the lungs liable to disease; we know that con- acd breathing of impure air pre- dispos2s to illness: we believe that too rapid eating imnairs digestion. We must alto learn that unhealthy habits of thov <2 can proiuce even more ser- ious results in our mental condition. Advisory work should not be limited to families already afflicted. _Special care and thoughtfulness in_bringing up a nervous child will do much to cor- rect tendencies which unchecked oft- en deepen into a definite disease. There are hundreds of such cases in the community, and the problem is to reach them while the need is still pre- vention and not cure. What Society Is Doing. The Connecticut Soclety for Men- tal Hygiene is endeavoring to apply the principles of prevention by deal- ing with the conditions indicated above. Individuals who have reason to fear mental disease seek us out, or are sent to us by doctors, clergymen, visiting nurses, settlement workers, teachers, probation officers, and judges. 'Sometimes it is too late for prevention, but suitable treatment, if |arranged for promptly, may effect a cure. The extreme importance of early treatment cannot be too strong- ly emphasized. Many of these peo- ple ask to atend the Mental Hygiene Clinic established by the Soclety at the New Haven Dispensary. The ad- vice of a specialist free of charge is a great boon to people of limited or scanty income. Such clinics should be accessible in all the larger centers of the state and would prove in Con- necticut, as they are proving in Massachusetts and New York, to be & powerful agency in the prevention of insanity. Not only may serious disease be prevented by such means, but a com- prehension of the early smyptoms fol- lowed by prompt action may not only save the patient but also prevent a tragedy. Such was the case of a young Italian woman reported by the Matron of a Day Nursery. ‘pon investigation the social worker of the society found a very respectable household with a grandmother, a hard-working husband, four chjldren, and the mother who showed many symptoms of acute insanity. On ex- amination of the woman at the Men- tal Hysiene Clinic the specialist stated that her condition might lead her to attack her children at any moment, and that she should have immediate hospital care. The necessary legal steps were hastened, she was prompt- ly sent to a state hospital, her young baby was placed under the care of the Infant Welfare Soclety, and all matters relating to the patient's fu- ture car: were casefully and satis- factorfly explained to the husband. Preventive Work. Prevejtive work may rescus a pa- tient on the border-line of insanity. This was the condition of an attrac- tive young Jewish girl of sixteen, who, from overwork and an unhyj mode of living, became haunted by evil thoughts, depressed, and suicidal. The family physictan asked to have her supervised by the social worker of the soclety. By fmeans iof ‘fre- quent talks, by arrangement of her work, by provision ‘for suitable recre- ation and companionshlp, she has become cheerful, , healthy, and appar- ently normal. Her family are de- PREVENTIVE WORK FOR INCIVICUALS By V. M. Macdonald, Secretary of the Connecticut Society For Mental Hygiene. lighted with the change in her condi- tion. In telligent supervision of a conva- lescent may prevent a relapse. An allenist referred to the care of the society a woman who had been acutely insane some months before. She showed signs of a recurrence and im- mediate help was needed. She was dopresed, seclusive, introspective, despairing, unable to sleep or_to en- dure eocial intercourse. Suitable light employment was found, encour- Aging advice was frequently given, and her daily problems were discussed and solved. Within three months she was sleeping well and had gained in welght, and now after o year she is cheerful, sociable, and enjoys keep- ing house and caring for o family. A mentally sick person may be saved from an undeserved jail sen- tence by a comprehension of his con- dition. "An elderly man had hallucina- tions which caused him to act strange- ly on the street and this had brought about his arrest several times on a charge of drunkenness or> vagrancy. An intelligent frlend came to the so- clety to b eadvised how to protect him. A mental examination of the old man, followed by an explanatory visit of the social worker to the city at- torney, resulted in having the man sent to a state hospital for treat- ment instead of to jail as a criminal. Experience proves that many delinqu- ents are in reality cases for hospital care, Educating the Publlc. The broadest form of preventive work is education of the public as to the preventable causes of mental dis- ease. Especlally desirable is the dis- semination of the facts concerning the important part played by alcohol and specific disease in causing insanity. Towards this end the soclety arranges for public lectures on different phases of the subject, and distributes mam- phlets written by recognized aut®ori- tles. Informal talks are given before various clubs. Boye' clubs have been taught the effects of alcohol and drug- habits on mental efficiency, possibly leading later to mental disease; Mothers' clubs have been told of the specfal care and training desirable for children predisposed to nervousness; Girls' clubs have been taught the need of hyglenic living and proper recrea- tion, and the necessity for demand- ing a high moral standard in future husbands: social and _educational clubs have been informed regarding the broad aspects of a mental cam- paign In the community. Whether the problem is approached as affecting the community or the individual the watchword is always “Prevention.” BELL-ANS Abs_olutely Removes Indigestion.

How long it will take to accomplishe this I can- not say. Nevertheless, I am sure at least a couple of them are ‘comers’ and one of the surprises this season is likely to be the work of pitchers who have not been in a big league before.” BACK TO THE LAND SCHEME IN GREAT BRITAIN England H. Herotofore Produced Too Littlo of Her Food Supplies. London, Mar. 10— (Correspodnence of The Assoctated Press)—The back to the land scheme, of which a fore- cast has been given out by the board of egriculture, recalls one of the bit- terest political controversies of the days before the war. When Lioyd George then proposed to tax the u used land, such as game preserves and ornamental parks, the same as the tilled, to revalue the great hold- ings and ‘tax the unearend increment, he aroused not only the opposition but the bitter hatred of the landed classes. His measure did in fact strike at _the basis of the aristocratic system, which under the old regime had got off comperatively light as re- gards taxes. Lloyd George's measure was formed with a view to making the holding of unused land for pleas- ure or speculation so expensive that sub-division and sale would result and the number of small landowrers be vastly increased in proportion as the great estates dwindled. But now even a stronger measure is proposed. It provides for the acquisition of land by state compulsory purchase for cut- ting up into small farms. Yet now scarcely a protest is heard. Such a reform is one of the by-pro- ducts of the war. It is seen that Eng- land has heretofore produced too lit- tle of her foods. Also work must be provided for discharged soldiers whose ideas and ambitions have expanded, otherwise they will emigrate to the states or the colonfes. So, to keep England going after the war, the landlords must sacrifice a part of their historic holdings, and they con- sent to the sacrifice. War has taught the English people their absolute dependence on foreign countries for their food supplies. One of her providers is litle Denmark. Yet the reason why Denmark, so small in area, with its own large pop- ulation to support, can ship out so much food lies in the fact that Den- mark years ago passed just such a law as England contemplates now. From a country of few landlords, Denmark became a country of small independent farmers.
