MIRROR 0/ Your MIND Success Depends ■ ■ On Listening By Lawrence Gould •'5v^', ___ ✓ Is learning to listen worth while? Answer: Very much so. Your sue* cess in almost any field depends jupon your understanding other peo ple and the only way to do this is to listen to what they say closely enough so that you will grasp the meanings which they cannot always express clearly. (This applies par ticularly to your children.) Again, the surest and easiest way to make people like you is to make them feel that you are enough interested in them to pay real attention while they’re talking to you. Since they’re almost certain to talk about them selves, they’ll like you doubly for listening. Does alcohol increase blood pressure? Answer: No. If anything, it has the opposite effect. “Persons with high blood pressure need not avoid liq uor,” says Public Affairs Pamphlet No. 168, “Your Blood Pressure and Your Arteries.” But as to whether . alcohol can prevent as well as re lieve hardening of the arteries, the pamphlet quotes Dr. H. M. Marvin, former president of the American Heart Association: “Aside from... whether it would be more desirable to be an alcoholic or have hardening of the arteries, some doubt has been cast upon this belief because most alcoholics die before the age when arteriosclerosis usually is found.” Has social change affected children? Answer: Yes, says Professor James H. S. Bossard of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania. Teachers to day are faced with several types of problem children that were unknown in earlier societies: for instance, the adolescent confused by conflict ing and inconsistent moral stand ards: the child spoiled by coming from too small a family; the neg lected child of a professional wom an; the delinquent product of a broken home; the “up-rooted” child whose parents are continually on the move, and the youngster over- stimulated by radio, movies and television.

IT IS SAID THAT MORE LIVES HAVE LOSTHERB THAN IN ANY KNOWN PLACE ON EARTH. I — KEEPING HEALTHY other Brandi of Medical Science By Dr. James W. Barton ■ROM TIME TO TIME we see new branches of medicine be- raised to the standing of the main branches, medicine and surgery. Within the past few years, for example, psychiatry has reached an equal footing. It may come as a surprise to' learn that what is known as physi cal medicine and rehabilitation has now been placed among the branch es of medicine. In the Journal of 'The American Medical Association, 3Dr. Frank H. Krusen, Mayo Clin ic, chairman section on physical medicine and rehabilitation, in an address to the last session of the American Medical Association at San Francisco, stated: “It is with a feeling of great pride we physi cians who have devoted our interest to the combined specialty of physi cal medicine and rehabilitation gather here for the first meetings of this new section of the American Medical Association.” What is physical medicine? Physical medicine is the nse of the properties of light heat, cold, water, electricity, mas sage, manipulation, exercise and mechanical devices for diagnosis, for research and for physical and occupational ther apy and physical rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is the use of these methods of helping a patient to adjust himself to Ms occupation, perhaps learn a new occupation, and learn despite any physical handicaps to take Ms place as a normal member of the community, We can see at once that a physi cian trained in the various branch es of physical medicine can fit in with the work of the physician trained in other specialties. Dr. Krusen points out what most physi cians already have seen—the ex cellent results obtained in nervous diseases such as paralysis, in psycMatry, where behavior is the important consideration, and in orthopedics where the correction of deformities requires several of the branches of physical medicine.

Newer, cleaner, and more efficient meth ods are being adopted at an un precedented rate. D. G. Nelson, who operates a 20- acre poultry feed and medicine ro- Touin ffgpOPTEP IN WASHINGTON D. G. Nelson (above), cheeks the supply level of his gas stor age tank on his experimental farm near Coral, 111. It sup plies fuel for his two brood ers, and the central plant heat ing system of his home. search farm near Coral, El., is an example of what the American farmer is doing about heating. He found that temperature var iances of 4 to 5 degrees in brood er tests completely upset his experi ments. After tests with three fuels, he settled on liquefied petroleum gas as the most efficient and inex pensive for Ms particular operation. Convinced of the fuel’s efficiency, he installed a supply tank large enough for house heating, water heating and cooking. The system also heats two 500-chick brooders. A new 1,700-square-foot laboratory now under construction will be con nected to the system. Nelson is particularly pleased with the dependability of the sys tem that gives him an independent fuel supply right on the farm. American Farmers Own 91 Billion Dollar Plant The family economics bureau af the Northwestern National Life In- surance reports American farmers now own 91 million dollars worth of land, buildings, Tve stor’* and equipment. This gigantic food “factory” turned out approximately 30 billion dollars worth of produce in 1950, or a third of the “plant” itself. In 1900 and even in 1910, American agriculture produced only a sixth of its own physical value in a year. Even in prosperous 1929 it pro duced a little less than one-fourth of its “plant” value, according to the study. The average farm today is a third bigger, comprising 195 acres of land, as against an average of 146 acres in 1900 a^d 145 in 1925. Annual net incc ie per farm has climbed from $350 in 1900 to an estimated $2,225 in 1950. The American farmer has ac complished these gains through a 900 per cent increase in Ms invest ment in tools and machinery and by better methods, better seed, better livestock, and more fertilizer. New Farm Tool The American farmer is con stantly in search of new ma chinery that will do a faster /tnd better job. Among new tools is a one-man wire-tie baler that handles up to 1$ tons of hay per hour. The New Hol land machine has a “warner” that makes the baler engine sputter when the wire supply runs low; a hydraulic unit that keeps bales uniform and “twisters” which make two wire ties in less than two sec onds wMle the bale Is held un der compression. Growing Vegetables Pay Gardener Big Dividends In times like these, growing your own vegetables can save a sur prising amount of money. A recent survey revealed that $5.25 invest ed in seeds, insecticides, and plant food will pay you back $91.02. That’s better than 17 to one on your in vestment The V5.25 cost figure as sumes you have the basic tools— garden hoe, spading fork, rake and trowel. Also, that you spade the plot and grow plant# from seed. Plan Casual Suppers for Warm, Lasy Days (Sr# Recipes Below) Porch-Picnic Suppers * IT’S NOT A MINUTE too early to start thinking of menus for picnic type suppers because one of these warm evenings you might just want to pick up your Y ^ dinner and carry it out to the back porch.

WNU Correspondent Increased Taxes Urfed / T HE Committee for Economic De velopment, a ‘ business organi sation long regarded as sound and eminently fair in its outlook on governmental affairs, has submitted a tax program for the congress wMch calls for a reduction of $6 billion in the 1951-52 federal budget and $10 billion pay-as-you-go tax increase. In carrying out this program the committee makes the following rec ommendations: (1) an additional 5 per Cent tax op taxable income "after present exemptions and the present tax, (2) a corporate profits tax wMch would bring the com bined income tax rates on profits in excess of $25,000 to 50 per cent as compared to the present 47 per cent; (3) an increase in the manu facturers excise tax on automobiles to 20 per cent from the present 7 per cent, and on refrigerators, tele vision sets and other consumer me chanical durable goods to 25 per cent from the present 10 per cent, an increase in the present federal excises on alcoholic beverages, to bacco and gasoline; a new excise of 5 per cent retail sales on items not now subject to federal excises, excluding food, housing, fuel utili ties, and certain other items diffi cult to tax. The main categories subject to tax would be clothing and household furnishings; (4) a number of other tax revisions to Increase revenue including taxa tion on interest of future issues of state and local securities, collec tion at sources of individual income tax on dividends and taxation of cooperative businesses. The committee stressed the need for quick notion on tdxeo and warned that the nation faces a shift from a surplus In fiscal 1951 to a deficit estimat ed in the budget at $12 billion In 1952. Farai Net Income Down As a matter of fact, all the sta tistics, of both the departments of labor and agriculture show that farm net income in 1950 reached a low of approximately $5 billion under 1947, about a billion under 1949 and Sft billion dollars less than 1948. The percapita income of farmers also shows a tremendous decrease as compared to incomes of the city folks. In the face of over-all increase in national in come from $209. billion in 1949 to $215 billion in 1950, the net farm in come dropped to $13 billion, or a billion dollars under 1949. A report of Sen. Allen Ellenderis committee on agriculture says in terms of dol lars with a 1945 purchasing equi valent, farmers in 1950 had a net income of only $8.5 billion as com pared to $12.8 billion five years earlier. But that /ould be true, of course, of any segment • • •. Farm Parity Fight Indicated There is every indication that a bitter struggle will be waged in tMs congress for and against repeal of the farm price support legisla- lation. And strangely enough, al though all four major farm organ izations here in Washington oppose it, the New York Farm Bureau Federation recently expressed its willingness to do away with the program in a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal. The ad, however was spon sored by the committee for eon- stitutional government, a more or less questionable outfit. But the move to abolish farm rap ports is said to be gaining ad herents In the senate under the theory that the price rapport program and the parity sys tem in some manner Is caus ing Mgh prices and aiding in flation. • • • Labor Opposes Sales Tax Insofar as its $10 billion dollar tax increase is concerned, the com mittee may have hit on about the right sum, although the President asked for a $16 billion dollar in crease. It is believed, however, that the cMef executive is now recon ciled to the fact that congress will not take that big a chunk out of the income at one stroke. But where the CED is in for strong opposition is its recommendations for a sales tax and a tax of the patronage divi dends of cooperatives. Labor al ways has been traditionally op- po ed to a sales tax in principle, although the CED proposal exempts food, housing, fuel, etc. And farm organizations art equally opposed to the tax on coops.
