JfEDFORD MAIL TTHBTTICE, SfEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 5935. PAGE THREE USED 100 FAST IN Nervous Exhaustion and Mental Diseases Blamed On Weather by Savant Migrations Held Remedy CINCINNATI. O. (UP) Nervoua xhaiutlon and mental diseases, with their toll of suicides and mental eases, can be blamed on the weather. In the opinion of Dr. Clarence A. Mills, University of Cincinnati pro fessor. Results of years of research on the ways tn which climate affects animal behavior and health have been given a popular Interpretation by Dr. Mills in hla new book. "Living with the Weather." The Invigorating climate of th north, with Its frequent changes In atmospheric conditions and tempera ture, provides a stimulation that con stantly tempts men and women to drive themselves beyond their phys ical capacities. Dr. Mills believes. The result Is a premature wearing out of the human machine and break downs In health and mind, he ex plains. Even the youth of the nation la not exempt from thia cumauc drive, and Dr. Mills holds that It Is Indeed a "Flaming Youth." "'Flaming Youth" Is in truth rery apt label for the American young people of the north." he writes. "They are afire with vitality and are con' suming their life heritage at a rapid rate. "As a result, we see the exhaustion of age creeping down the decades through middle Ule mto ever earlier ages. This does not mean that the life span is shortening, only that the period of vigor and zet in living Is being crowded more and more Into a small early fraction of life. "The real tragedy of America Is that our youthful exuberance Is wasted in energy that little Is left for carrying on down the decades which offer the richest values in lire In only a fortunate few who retain high vitality past 50 does there occur full fruition of life's purposes. It Is those few who supply the leaders of the nation and builders who advance civilization." Pointing out that such diseases as diabetes, acidosis, toxic goitre, and pernicious anemia are most flagrant ly identified with the north, Dr. Mills goes on to say: "Most important of all, however. Is the high rate of nerv ous breakdowns and mental diseases where the storms are most severe and the climatic stress greatest. "Its significance In northern life today warrants close attention and study. Suicides, which give us the best index of mental exhaustion and Instability, are highest where storm changes are greatest. "Waves of suicides show a distinct tendency to occur at tunes of felling or low barometric pressure such as come Just before sudden storm changes and a drop In temperature It la at those times that Irritability rises highest and the nervous system la most unstable when a feeling of futility and frustration comes over many people." Especially with young adults and children do such matters as the effect of climate on social behavior become acute, according to Dr. Mills, for their response to stimulation Is much more emphatic than that which occurs In later life. What can be done about It? Dr. Mills believes that the situation Is not hopeless. For persons who have the financial means. It Is advisable that steps be taken to lessen the dan gers of the late winter exhaustion so common in the north by migration southward. Dr. Mills points out. "Just as important for the south, as the winter exhaustion for the lit f HI I al -k2 " HIGHWAY REFURR READY TO START WHEN I While Huey Long remained on the train getting tome sleep after "quelling" the Baton Rouge, La., "revolt" In which troops were call d out, Mra. Long and her daughter, Ross, posed at Atlanta, Ga. Tha Longs were en ruute to Washing ton. (Associated Press Photo) north. Is the depression of energy level and vitality by the summer moist heat," he said. "Energy sup presslon is so prolonged each year there that the moderate storminess of the winter brings activity up only to a level not yet high." Northern parents. Dr. Mills advices, should see that their children get plenty of slep, proper food, outdoor exercise away from crowds and that they be kept away from exciting dl versions, so far as possible, in their free time. Sports contests In the north place too much stress on the nervous ex citement afforded the onlookers and not enough emphasis upon physical exercise of the players. Dr. Mills de clares. Instead of larger football stadia, he writes, the country nee :1s hundreds of tennis courts. Work on the re-surfacing of the Pacific highway between Sixth street and the north city limits will start the end of February, weather condi tions permitting, V. I. Goodnight, resident engineer for the state high way here, said today. The contract for this work has been let, and provides it be completed by June 30. It will be finished lo:ig ere that date, and with the minimum of Inconvenience to traffic, it Is as serted. Contracts were let yesterday by the state highway commission for the surfacing and grading of the Mur-phy-Provolt section of the Williams Creek secondary highway, and the construction of a steel bridge over the Applegate river, and a concrete bridge over Grays creek. The work Is all In Josephine county. The grading-eurfactng contract was awarded B. C. Hall of Eugene for $20,978. It is for 1.3 miles.

Feb. I. (Jp) Only one per son appeared to oppose the state tn dust rial recovery bill at Its public hearing before the Joint Industries committees of the senate and hoaae of representatives lut night. If passed, the measure would per mit intrastate firms to establish codes similar to those permitted for Inter state under the National Recovery Act. The sole opponent. Mrs. Ana Long of Portland, representing the Em ployed Women's Portective league. : statM the feared the bill would open the way for reducing store hours, thereby resulting In the dismissal of present employes.
