I would like to go to work. My
husband is always there when
the boys come home and it is no
trouble at all for him to give
them lunch and to get the din
ner started before I come home.
Everything was working out
beautifully when all my friends
came down on me and said I am
making a fool of my husband
and that he is setting a very
poor example for the boys by
being a homemaker. Of course
I don't want to do this and I
wonder if it is a mistake.

Gregory T. If only people
would mind their own business!
We had worked out a very neat
arrangement (I thought). Then
along came these "friends" with
their ideas about the way things
are supposed to be and Alice
says it embarrasses her to see
me in an apron, and such none
sense. The fact is that I actually en
joy puttering around the house.
There's nothing to it. When
Alice was home, I used to get
in her way and she in mine.
We'd waste time talking together
and nothing seemed to get fin
ished on time. This is mueh more
efficient.
But these friends are really
an evil influence. The boys used
to like to help me, but now

teased by people saying, "Are
you going to be a homemaker
like Daddy?"
a
The Council: This individual
istic domestic arrangement
could work out fine if every
one involved is not afraid of
being unconventional. If Alice
and the boys are going to cringe
every time a "friend" gives an
unaskcd-for opinion, it means
they just haven't got what it
takes to stand- out against the
crowd and can't be happy with
this arrangement.
Gregory appears to have the
backbone that it takes. He does
not stake his masculinity on fol
lowing a set social pattern. He
is far more self-assured in his
manhood than men who pale
wheh a neighbor catches them
with an apron on.
Gregory's straightforward, ra
tional attitude toward his ac
tivities and his confidence in
himself sets a good example for
his boys. Their reaction to the
teasing they have been getting
is probably a reflection of their
mother's embarrassment and
hesitation.
If Alice decides she can rise
to the occasion and be as much
of an individualist as her hus
band, she should find a pat
answer for busybody friends
and let their comments roll off
her back. She ought to see her
husband as an admirable man
head of the family, bread-winner
and rugged individualist. The
boys will respect him,, even over
a hot stove, if Alice doesn't
waver in her respect.

Tranquility-by-Pill
Declare Useful To
Heart Attack Victims
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
Xew York itP1 Tranquility-by-pill
is an extremely useful
thin? in Dersons who have had
heart attacks
since there
rarely if ever
is any tran
quility in
those persons
without pills,
two heart spe
cialists have
rep o r t e d to
their col-
jDelos Smith leagues.
They "tranquilized" with pills
80 heart patients who were dis
playing much anxiety and ten
sion about their illnesses, but
anxiety and tension which seem
ed to arise from their minds
rather than from diseased hearts.
In most cases, they continued,
the "intense anxiety usually as
sociated with acute cardiac dis
ease was relieved. This, in
many instances," helped "recov
ery from an acute episode" of
heart trouble.
Much Study Need.d
The specialists were Dr. Sam
uel Waldman of Long Island
college, and Dr. Louis Pelner of
Brooklyn. In publishing their
report, the editor of the techni
cal journal, "American Practi-"
tioner," remarked that "obvious
ly" their "thought is difficult of
statistical evaluation and much
clinical study will be needed to
confirm this idea."

that emotional stress places a
strain on the heart muscle. In
the normal heart, this emotional
stress, no matter how great, is
less than the heart's ability to
bear it. But a diseased heart has
much less ability.
"Every heart has a failure
threshold, that is, a maximum
work load that cannot be out
done without failure," they said.
"In a normal organ it is difficult
to force myocardial heart muscle
function beyond the critical lev
el, but the threshold of a dam
aged heart can be exceeded rath
er easily. At rest an impaired
myocardium may still be clini
cally competent, but agitation,
emotional upheaval or physical
stress may precipitate cardiac in
sufficiency and failure."
They felt that the connection
between anxiety and heart func
tion was well established, both
scientifically and in the accumu
lated folk-lore observations of
unscientific people. For instance,
they pointed out the physical
mechanisms which "may ac
count for the age-old belief that
one could 'die of fright.' "
Dies in Rage
The great 18th century sur
geon, John Hunter, they recall
ed, had angina pectoris for 20
years and was so well aware of
how his own emotions acted on
his diseased heart that he said:
"My life is at the mercy of any
rascal who chooses to tease or
annoy me." While lecturing, he
was contradicted. He struggled
to contain his rage, and dropped
dead.
Whether or not tranquility-by-pill
aided their patients. Wald
man and Pelner reported, de
pended upon the amount of
heart damage present.
"In dangerously ill patients
with extensive infarction, in
whom the disease appeared irre
versible and rapidly progressive,
there was no alteration of the
inevitable fatal course."
They spoke of the tranquiliz
ing drugs as a class, that is, the
"ataraxics," thus suggesting
trials with any of them. They
themselves used meprobamate
which is the best known to the
general public as "the happy
pill."
