THE RORSCHACH TEST A number of people write to ask me, "What is Uie Rorschach test?" Herman Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist born in HUM. He became interested in trying to learn about the sanity or mental processes of a person by asking him what he thought he saw in an ink blot. In 1921, he wrote a book on the diagnosis of men tal troubles with the help of such blots. Before him, far back in 1857, a certain Justinus Kcrner stud ied ink blots, and in 1895, the famous Dr. A. Binet of France, the originator of modern intellig ence testing, suggested the use ol ink blots for the study of personality traits. All of these students of the subjects hoped, with their technic, to understand the nature of a person's "imag inative activity. Today, most psychologists use 10 Rorschach cards (chosen out of some 10,000), and the person being tested gives his impress ion of what he sees. Dr. George F. Scacat, Ph. D of the Vet erans Administration Center in Los Angeles, thinks that most psychologists would prefer not to give an opinion on the result of only one lest like the Ror schach. They would rather use a battery of tests. Much de pends, of course, on the com petence of the interpreter. But the Rorschach test seems to be a useful tool in understanding "borderline diagnostic cases." Shown Pictures In another test ol this type, the person is asked quickly to complete Irom SO to 00 incom plete sentences, such as, "1 wish my father . . .," and in si ill another lest, the person is shown ,'11 pictures and asked lo give his impressions of Ihem. What always bothers me about these tests is that I have never been able to find good proof that people who use them have Inter checked up with an open mind to see whether Hie conclusions derived eventually proved to have been correct. For instance; Dr. Scacat says that today in many big corn panics men are being chosen as employees or for certain types of work, or for promotion, on the basis of these tests. What 1 look (or in vain are good ar ticles showing whether the de cisions made by the company psychologists were later found lo be 50 or 60 or 70 per cent accurate. Similarly, (or years I have been reading accounts o( the axlcnsivc menial lesls they give In the men who arc to be chosen for fighler pilots in our army. But I have never seen a report of a check-up lo see if (he tesls given were worth a hoot. 1 have a faint memory thai General Chcnault used to say that one of his fighters might be a bit crazy or alcholic or wilh one wooden leg. bill that was all right so long as the fellow kept shooting down en emy planes. Auto Safely Hell As we all know, everyone is now being advised when driv ing an automobile on the high way, to wear a seat-belt. There is no question that in many an accident a person's life could easily have been saved by such a bell. Several of my friends were killed because when their car was hit, a dour opened and they were thrown out into the street. There they were instan ly run over and killed by a passing car. But as Drs. W. M. Cocke, Jr., and K. K. Meyer of New Or leans said a while ago, one must be careful to wear the belt in the proper place. To il lustrate: a short, stocky 62- year-old woman was a passcn gcr, sitting in the front seal of an automobile which struck another automobile broadside at 25 miles an hour. The driver, who had no scat belt, was un injured, but the woman com plained that the scat bell she had been wearing had hurl her abdomen and had left a red dened band across the upper part where she had been hurl She had a big fat abdomen, and the left upper part of it was found lo be tender to the touch. X-ray films showed fractures of the 7th and 8th ribs in front. When, five hours after entering a hospital the woman went into a state of shock, her abdomen was opened, and her spleen was found to be badly smashed. Fortunately, when the wounds in her spleen were sewed up, she recovered. The lady had made two mis takes: one, she had left the scat-belt so loose that when she was thrown forward, her abdo men came up against the belt with a bang. As the doctors say, she would not have gotten into trouble if she had had the bell around her lower abdomen, and if the belt had been hitched up tightly over her hip bones and pelvis. She should not have had it lying loose across her upper abdomen. The doctors quoted reports of a number of other physicians who have described similar In juries that followed a wrong use of a seal bell. One of Dr. Alvarez' most re cent booklets is called "Hard ening of the Arteries, and Cho lesterol." Because the topic is related to heart attacks, many readers will want a copy of it.

German men consider the American husband a sucker because of the way he handles his money. In Germany many women can't say (or sure how much their husband earns be cause it isn't considered any o( their business. They accept whatever housekeeping money they receive and keep their mouths shut. British men shake their heads in wonderment over the way American men arc bullied by their children, especially the teen-agers. "Children in this country," notes the London bu reau of UPI, "are more to be seen then heard. When com pany comes, the chldren arc fed separately." A thorough whacking on the seal of the pants, both at school and at home, is still highly esteemed in Britain as a corrective meas ure. Frenchmen cannot under stand why Americans work themselves to death to provide things their family doesn't real ly need. Their most prevalent theory is that the American husband is a sort of voluntary slave indentured for life to a woman who lashes him period ically with demands for jewel ry, expensive clothing and hats she doesn't need. French wives accept as a fact of life that it is possible to cook a meal and dispose of the dish-i without the help of enough electric kitchen gadgets to operate a space capsule. Marries Earlier The American male plunges into marriage at an earlier age and with less thought than any man on earth. Every behavior expert who studies the situa tion notes the increasing num ber of teen-age marriages, and the subsequent high divorce rale. Onlv seven per cent of the American women in their thirties have never been mar ried. Comparable statistics for Great Britain are 18 per cent and for France 28 per cent. One out o( every 4.5 Ameri can marriages ends in divorce, the world's highest rale. There is no way to measure the num ber of men who remain mar ried even though they are un happy, and, as one philoso pher puts it, "leading lives of quiet desperation." Apparently only a small percentage of these men seek the assistance of marriage experts and coun selors, and Dr. Paul Popcnoc of the American Institute of Family Relations cites (he case history of one of Ihem: "Mr. H said: 'I put in a full day at the factory and by the time I get home about a quar ter to six I am glad to lie down and rest. But my wife meets me at the door and tells me the two kids arc driving her crazy and will I please take them off her hands.'

" The American standard of living is the highest in the world, and American women expect to start enjoying it as soon as they are married, or at least without allowing suffi cient time for the husband's income to rise to the level of their needs and wants. Sociolo gist James W. Gladden of the University of Kentucky got some interesting answers when he conducted a survey among girls on what they expected their husbands to do besides support them: Seventy per cent said they expected outside help. Fifty-four per cent expect ed their husbands lo straighten up the house occasionally. Forty-four per cent de manded that the husband pre pare the meals occasionally. Fifty-four per cent said they expected their husbands to make the beds, "but only rare ly." Sixty per cent expected him to dispose of the garbage every day. There was general agree ment that husbands should re member birthdays, anniversar ies and other "special" days, that husbands should be adept in "adapting themselves to the various moods and changes so typical of women," that wives should be treated after mar riage just as they were before. Rules Changed After marriage, a new set of rules apparently is drawn up in the feminine mind, and Dr. Popenoe tells the results of a survey among women in Co lumbus. Ohio, on what the ideal husband should do. Some of them: Tell interesting things about his work. Do thoughtful things the wife docs not expect him to do. Sense when his wife wants affection and when she doesn't. Clean out the bathtub and wash ! basin after using them. Appre I ciate and praise new dishes the wife prepares. Know how to pull the wife out of the I dumps when she gets into them. Always telephone when he is going to be late to din ner. Never talk about his for mer girl friends. Enjoy reading and discussing good books with his wife. Next: Nagging wives and what they do to marriages. mittce on wildlife to succeed by House Speaker Clarence Bar Rep. W. O. Kelsay, D-Roseburg.
