SCIENCE has discovered glands are a potent factor in human behaviour. Take the adrenal glands, for example. When a person is enraged, these glands are stimulated. They pour a certain element into the blood stream which inhibits the cerebral pro cesses on one hand, and increases tremendously the stamina and muscular strength of the individual, on the other. He is, as the saying goes, fighting mad. IT IS the same with fear. When the individual is suddenly faced with an alarming and unexpected danger, the first reaction may be one of paralysis. He is scared stiff, bis hair stands on end, his eyes bulge, he is rooted to the spot, as the shilling shockers have it. But this is merely the adrenal glands, under exceptional stimulus, getting ready for immediate action. The first reaction is followed by a second. Again the adrenals pour this stimulating element into the blood stream, and the net result is the same as in the case of sudden rage. The individual ceases to be primarily a reasoning animal and becomes (incidently for his own protection and the perpetuation of his race) a fighting one. IN VIEW of the fact that the population of the entire world, at the nresent time, can be nrettr well divided between tilde. who are either MAD at something or someone; or AFRAID of someone or something. Perhaps the explanation of the present confusion and moral chaos, which besets us, lies not in politics, economics, fascism, communism or any of the other isms; but simply in the general and all prevailing glandular excitement of humanity in the mass. At least such an explanation, allows one to rationalize the situation, whereas no other explanation we have heard, leads to anything but the disheartening conclusion that the whole world has just gone stark MAD. TAKE the mess in Europe at the present time. As we see it there is nothing inherent in that situation, which precludes a peaceful adjustment, provided the lenders just use common sense and at reasonable intervals, sane, balanced judgment. Yet there they are at the present writing apparently rushing pell mell over the precipice to a perfectly needless and suicidal war. . ' In a less marked degree a similar psychology prevails in this country, and has prevailed for some time. It was responsible for the sudden rise of Huey Long; it was also responsible for his sudden death. Where the reasoning faculties prevailed, where hearts were right and heads were clear Huey Long would never have become a dictator, and assassination would not have been the medium adopted to check him. . But rage and fear, paralyzes the cerebral processes on one hand; change man from a thinking to a fighting animal on the other. So perhaps what the world needs is not so much a Moses, as an A-l gland doctor. The Management ensures the public there will be no new models dur ing the bnlnnce of the yesr. As to Football Wages T17E commend the candor of those three ex-Trojan football stars Hibbs, Saunders and Shaver. They have decided honesty 18 the best policy in intercollegiate athletics, now they are out of them. Instead of secretly subsidizing football material at the col leges and universities, they would put the boys on a uniform and living wage say $150 per month. This, they maintain, would avoid the "taint of professionalism'1 (sic) and eliminate extra curricular and hypocritical "jobs," such as "ringing the chapel bell, mowing the dean's lawn, and washing down the campus statuary once a week." WIIT NOT t Practically all the big college football stars arc tiaid in one wav nr another: whv not. be honest about it. and pay them for service rendered carrying the ball over the goal line for dear old Siwnsh! Considering the punishment they take, such a wage would not be excessive. We would have only one amendment to make, ie. : THE $1.V) BE PAID ONLY TO THOSE FOOTBALL PLAYERS, WHO ABE UNABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN EDUCATION, and who are not only football but COLLEGE material! In other words we would compel the college authorities to kick every man off the football squad who couldn't maintain his college grades (and we mean maintain them), who hadn't sufficient brains mixed with his brawn to give real promise of needing and benefitting, from four years of higher education. UNDER such circumstances we would see no objection to the establishment of what might be termed athletic-scholastic scholarships financial assistance to those who were good students as well as good athletes, and without financial help could not play college football, or have the benefit of a college education. Such a provision, properly administered, would do more to encourage real scholarship and eliminate professionalism in col lege athletics, than anything we can imagine. It would not keep the worthy POOR boy out of college athletics on one hand; and it WOULD keep out the bonehead PRO merely using college as a preparatory school for the prize ring, the grunt and groan circuit, or professional football nn the other. A consummation dovoutedly to be wished. Kilt we fear Messrs. Hibbs, Saunders and Shaver would never accept the amendment ! Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

WUV.S WORKS ARE CENSl'R ED NOT AS BAD BCT AS NEW The Ineptitude of the general pro fciMlon toward such advances a the chemical obliteration of varicose veins, the diathermy extirpation of tonal la, the am bulant treatment of hernia, the in jection treatment of h e m orrhoids and the ambu 1 a n t treatment of hydrocelo. In view of the prog ress these modern methods have made, constitute a serious reflec tion on the com petence of organ izea medicine under the present regime. Someone elss may have said this or something Uko It before, even some blooming char latan. No matter. I aay Jt and I mean It. It Is a thought I hnve been mulling over in my mind for ten years. Especially when I have listen ed to discussions In medical societies and read the current views and opin ions of recognized leaders In the pro fession. In giving utterance to it now I am not going off half-cocked. I say what I think, and I am pre pared to hear the answer, in this as In any other subject touched on here. I always give & gentlemanly hearing to anything anyone cares to &ay. law or professional, and I al ways treat such letter or communi cation as confidential. What 'a more, nobody can question my record about this. So I repeat, I'm prepared to pay due respect to the sincere views of any reader who may see the mat ter In another light. My goodness, my best medical friends know I can take It, and Indeed it la duo largely to their frank criticism ai well as their "constructive" suggestions, that this column is aw, you finish it I'm blushing. It la well enough that the repu table, con&erratlve practitioner should desire to be not the first by whom the iipt' Is tried, nor jet thv la., to lay the old aside, but It Is carrying that traditional spirit too far whn methods are censured not as bad but new. Scores of good doctors have Rsked me why these modern methods are not discussed In the foremost cur rent medical publications If they arc so valuable. That's precisely what I am deploring in the present trend of organized medicine. The ;oremost medical Journals have for years not only rejected good, honest, scientific contributions dealing with these newer methods, contributions from physicians of excellent standing, but have sometimes descended to well, to the level of childish peevishness in refusing to give this new knowl edge to their readers. In fact, they have censured and censored these methods not as bsd but new. That la why the Inarticulate rank and file has not heard more about the new methods. And no doubt that ex plains the naive ideas many good dor tors have about these methods. Even the American Medical asso ciation stoops to anonymity in dis seminating propaganda against the ambulant treatment of hernia quot ing "well known" surgeons who evi dently don't know what they're talk ing about but not divulging the Iden tity of these "authorities." To name the "authorities" might spoil the ef fect, for clearly they are ringers, pli able old gentlemen who are easily persuaded to secrete the particular thought required In the exigency, pro vided they are assured nobody will ever know they did It. displeased If Italy persists In going to war with her little neighbor. The results have been exactly noth ing at alt. But If Great Britain, In the cau tious language of diplomacy. Is ac tually saying to Italy: "If you go o war with Ethiopia, we'll knock your block off!" Italy may change her mind and decide she Isn't as anxious for war as she thought she was. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dynamite.

When a diplomat says some thing, he Is careful to say it in such a way that his country can go ahead and do whatever It pleases and still say "I told you so." IT might mean, for example, that if Italy goes ahead with her ap parent Intention to gobble up little Ethiopia Great Britain will go to war with Italy. If Italy thinks It means Just that, it will have some weight. IP you saw two men on the street, one large and one small, giving every evidence of starting a fight, and you went up to them and said: "Gentlemen, fighting is wicked and crude ami Is frowned upon by all the best people, and If you go ahead and fight we shall all be greatly vexed at you," what would happen? They might laugh In your face. Or they might both turn In and kick your shins. But they WOULDN'T be apt to call off their fight because of your words.
