Conviniant Parking Tray and others like him In t is really driving the dog out of days gone by, Glenny said, had only one worry "to keep noble and ever faithful." Tray's descendants frequently develop Inferiority complexes trying to cope with urban liv ing, he said. For instance, Glenney contin ued, in order to prove that he is not afraid of the big dog next door who barks at him all the time, a dog may start chasing cars just to prove his courage. The cars become larger beasts to the dog and their "bark is more resounding," he said. Glenney also warned that the rough attention dogs get from the children of the house also leads to ulcerous tensions in the animal. "Some children think the good old dog enjoys it," he said. "But if they knew the truth, their rough tactics, in many instances. Silent Violin Keeps Neighborhood Peace 1 Washington (U.R) Good news for neighbors of kids learn ing to play the violin: I A humanitarian named Joseph Carcione has invented an all but silent one. Moreover, he is will ing to share his secret with the r.erve-wracked millions who live within earshot of budding vir tuosos. Carcione, a 23-year-old violin ist with the National Symphony i Orchestra, explained the way to ; silence a violin is to wash the hair of the bow and use it with out resin. "The sound only travels about i a foot and a half then," he said, j Carcione said he invented the ! silent violin so he could live in ( peace with his fellow men ; particularly the ones next door. I "I can hear it," his wife said. his mind.' Dogs and humans could take a cue from the cat on how to stay healthy in the modern world, he said. Cats know how to relax. He said his practice would have "gone to the dogs long ago" if it depended on cat ail ments. "Cats don't burn themselves out over matters that don't mat ter in the final analysis any way," Glenney said. General Motors Sets Earning Mark New York (U.R) General Motors Corp. In 1956 outearned every other company in the world despite a more than $340 million decline ii net income. The world's biggest auto maker rang up sales last year of more than S10 billion for the second straight year, a figure no other company has ever ap proached. General Motors' net Income in 1956 lell to $847,398,102, or $3.02 a share, from $1,189,477, 082, or $4.30 in 1955, when it became the first firm in history ever to earn more than $1 bil lion after taxes. Sales were $10,796,442,575, compared with $12,443,277,420 in 1955. Following General Motors as principal money earners were Standard Oil of New Jersey, with $800 million, and Ameri can Telephone & Telegraph Co., with $777 million.

Mayo Foundation fg Ml Dr Alvarez A New Blood Test For Insanity For years, many of us physic ians have wondered if certain forms of insanity might not be associated with some chemical ab n o r mality of the blood, and perhaps even be due to a poisoning of the brain by some abnormal constituent of the body fluids. Human prejudices being what they are, most persons with in sanity running through their family would prefer to think that what they might some day inherit was not a defective brain but rather a defect in body chemistry much like that which produces diabetes or that which produces gout. That this is not impossible is shown by one of my gouty patients who tells me that when he has a flare-up of his disease, with terrible pain in one of his big toe joints, his brain is so poisoned by the uric acid in his blood that for a week be is almost out of his head and has to be locked up! Recently, there came to Chi cago from Sweden Dr. Stig Akerfeldt to be the euest of the Brain Research Foundation, and to tell us the details ot nis dis covery that there are certain ab normal ferments in the blood of persons with schizophrenia ab normalities which can be detect ed h 9 fairlv simDle test.

MAIN - PH. 2-2456 We Carry Our Own Contracts antly confirmed by a study of blood samples from over 1,000 insane patients a study report ed by Dr. Leo Abood, Director of the Neurophysiology Labora tory In the Dicision of Psychia try of the University of Illinois. This new test confirms what all the clinical experience of 52 years has led me to believe, and this is that a schizophrenic is usually born, and his mental troubles are not due to the weird, improbable, unproved, unprovable, and often utterly stupid theories of the men on the "lunatic fringe" of psychia try. The really great psychiatrists of the world men such as Dr. Adolf Meyer of Johns Hopkins University were right when they said that one cannot make an insane man out of just any one no matter what sort of an awful home he had to grow up in, no matter how sorely he may have been rejected or mistreated by a parent, and no matter hat disasters may have assailed him during his lifetime. In order to go insane a man has to be born with a tendency to it. In this connection I think of the eminently sane, merry and very likeable Jewish musician I know who, years ago, saw his mother kicked to death and his sister raped by German thugs He was terribly beaten and left supposedly dead, with a frac tured skull. Friends hid him and later got him across the line into Switzerland: After that he underwent much hunger and privation until he reached the United States, but with it all his sanity never wav ered. Why? I think because he was born of good stock ... he was born go sane that no amount of disaster could ever shatter his mental processes. Many persons will ask, "Do you believe that all mental di seases are going to be proved to be due to chemical changes in the blood?" And my answer Is, "Certainly not." The brain is one of the many organs of the body; it is the most complicated one of all, and the most difficult to construct; so surely, it must have some malformations and malfunctions all its own. But this new discovery by Akerfeldt has opened up a way In which really scientific re search can be done on the causa' tion and treatment of Insanity. If a patient'a flare-ups In men tal aberration are due to a defect in his body chemistry, then it is probable that just as we keep a diabetic healthy with insulin, so also we may eventually keep a schizophrenic sensible by in jecting into him each day some ferment or anti-ferment that he lacks. Today, If I were a wealthy man or if I were director of a Foundation, I would immediate ly begin putting money into an organization like the Brain Re search Foundation of Chicago so that we In America could have at least one properly designed and equipped hospital to which persons needing study could go. Built into this hospital would be a specially equipped operating-room where expert nerve surgeons could find and cut out those bits of defective brain tis sue in which arise the convul sions or queer psychic storms of many epileptics, or the muscle spasms of children with spastic paralysis, or the difficult behav ior of some mentally retarded children. Associated with this operating room would be fine physiologic and chemical and electric lab oratories, and the finest electro encephalographs, with which men can study the functions of diseased brains. Also, there would be laboratories full, of monkeys and other animals, which would be used In studies of the workings of the brain. Isn't it remarkaBle that for re search on the commonest dis eases of all brain diseases we Americans spend almost no money. In the past, a good rea son for people's refusing to give money was that they feared it would be used for so-called re search by some analysts, who would only sit at a desk and spin some new theories. But today real research by able scientists is being done; and, oh, how handicapped most of them are, without proper facilities.
