Of Your
MIND
Smoking and
Concentration
By Lawrence Gould
Does smoking help you to concentrate?
Answer: It appears to, regardless
of how much (or little) it may harm
you in the long run. This is partly
due to the narcotic effect of the
nicotine, which helps deaden other
wise distracting stimuli; but besides
that, the sensations which smoking
produces satisfy and quiet the
primitive urge for sensuous pleasure
whose complete frustration tends to
make you restless and prevent your
giving full attention to what you
are doing. Chewing gum and eating
candy gratify the same wish for
“mouth stimulation.”
f;.
Does vocational guidance help
delinquents?
Answer: Yes, to judge by the re
sults of experiments at Bellevue
Hospital, New York, reported in
Mental Hygiene. Helping a delin
quent or mentally sick boy to know
and find the kind of job for which
he is best fitted makes him feel
someone is taking a real interest
in him. This both prepares him to
accept psychiatric treatment, if he
needs it, and encourages him to
adjust himself to a world which he
no longer feels has no use for him.
Delinquency most frequently grows
out of a sense of being unwanted.
Is psychoanalysis “upsetting”?
Answer: Very much so. Every
neurosis represents a way of deal
ing with a nersonal problem which
the patient knows no other way of
solving, and to be compelled to
realize that his method cannot work
frightens him half out of his wits.
Suppose, for example, that you
have done something you are very
much ashamed of but have salved
your conscience by persuading your
self that it is somebody else's fault
—being made to see that your ex
cuse is “phony” can be downright
terrifying. The fear of abandoning
unreal defenses is what makes you
resist psychiatric treatment.

SHOPPER'S
CORNER
By DOROTHY BARCLAY
f——;— —
NO HOARDING, PLEASE!
W HEN JOEL McCREA speaks
out and says, “Don’t hoard!”,
we listen. When he speaks as a
cattleman, and says, “Buy wisely.
Don’t hoard, it isn’t necessary,”
we take heed.
Hoarding is one sure-fire way of
shooting prices up, by creating un
necessary and unnatural shortages.
Wise buying is never over-buying.
Wise buying is sea
sonal, opportunis
tic, sufficient only
until the immediate
future, not for the
duration of short
ages—for the more
hoarding, k the long
er the duration!
And you lucky home-makers with
your freezers, this means you, too!
It’s extravagant to load the freezer
with food you won’t be using for a
year. It ups the storage costs, and
lowers the tastiness and nutritional
value of those foods you planned on
for the far future!
Meat, especially, should never be
stored too long in the freezer, but
used regularly, for a rapid turnover.
Replace what you draw with a good
seasonal buy for near future use,
keep your storage costs down, and
you’ll have tastier, safer and better
meat in circulation.
Generally, all meats should be'
used within a year of freezing, but
please, no longer than that! Beef,
the biggest item in 99 per cent of
all freezers, will keep the long
est, "dLi mutton, lamb and most
fish as runners-up. But meats con
taining salt, such as sausage, cured
pork, corned beef, should be in
much more frequent circulation. As
a rule, ground meats, pork, veal
and poultry should be used within
six months, and sausage and other
cured meats within two or three.
So when you take out that sausage
for Sunday breakfast, replace it
with something that’s in ample
supply at your butcher’s today.
Watch for his specials in chickens,
especially the broilers and fryers,
the frozen seasonal^vegetables, and
frozen fish fillets. So be smart,
stock up, but don’t hoard!
FISH OR FOWL
Fresh fish day is as rare as
that faraway summer fishing trip,
but many frozen fillets are avail
able at your market. Frozen whiting
and pollock are low-priced right
now, with cod, haddock and rose
fish just slightly higher. These
frozen fish can be cooked without
defrosting, with additional cooking
time allowed, but for breading or
stuffing, they should be given a
slight thaw in your refrigerator.
Just ask your butcher what’s the
best seasonal buy, and stock up on
’em!

Race-Track Bettor
Who Couldn't Lose
ikillin Helps Check Chicken Pox WildsD ' >inIail
i
By Dr. James
*T WOULD SEEM that in that
* simple disease of childhood,
chickenpox, there would be no
need for such a powerful remedy as
penicillin. What we forget is that
while chickenpox in itself is not
considered dangerous, there are
•cane symptoms that disturb the pa
tient and delay recovery. Added to
this are tire complications which
etimes accompany or follow
W. Barton
In The Journal-Lancet, Minne
apolis, Drs. E. S. Krug and
H. R. Glenn state that there
has been a relative increase in
the number of cases of chicken-
pox in adolescents and young
adults. Chickenpox Is usually
more severe in these age groups
in children and treatment
therefore more important,
physicians began the use
in college students
chickenpox to shorten the
time needed for recovery.
In addition to shortening the time
' recovery, complications, or what
is called secondary infection, would
most likely be prevented or ren
dered less severe, thus preventing
loss of too much time from the
classroom. One of the complications
that causes secondary infection is
the severe itching that occurs with
chickenpox. This itching causes in
tense scratching and often leaves
the skin rough and scarred.
Drs. Krug and Glenn are careful
to state that although the number
of cases treated (86) does not per
mit statistical conclusions, they
gained the impression that the
average period of fever was re
duced by about one-half and the
period of hospital treatment by
about one-third by penicillin. Itch
ing was reduced; there was no
scarring and the patients were
much more comfortable.
Because itching in chickenpox
keeps the patient uncomfortable and
scratching may cause complica
tions, other methods of relieving
the itching are in use, among them
that valuable antihistamine, pyri-
benzamine.
LONDON, Eng.—“Little Arthur”
Clinton, a race-track bettor, tried
very hard, but he just wouldn’t
pick a loser. His plight was brought
to light in Lonson Sessions Court,
where his inability to decide who
wasn’t going to win earned him a
six months term in jail.
It all began when Arthur, a spry
youngster of 71, gave Michael
Green tips that provided three
straight winners at the Doncaster
track.
Green’s mother, who also likes to
bet, wired $98 to Little Arthur with
instructions to bet for her.
Tucking the money away in his
vest pocket, Arthur wired back
that he was laying all on a nag
called Budore.
Budo e won at 9 to 4.
Two more winners mushroomed
the fictitious betting into a fortune
of $12,289.20.'
Mrs. Green became worried when
Arthur failed to show up with the
money for three days and alerted
police.
Little Arthur pleaded guilty to
“fraudently converting” to his own
use his client’s original $98.

Malt Barley Important
To Minnesota Economy
SHAKOPEE, Minn.—One out of
every nine bushels of malting bar
ley processed in Minnesota during
1950 went through a Shakopee plant,
it was reported recently. Over
3,000,000 bushels of premium malt
ing barley went through the plant
Minnesota growers of the 27,700,-
500 bushels of barley used for malt
ing last year were paid a high
premium over barley sold on the
market for feeding purposes.

PRODUCTION OF TIMER
Nation's Timber, Forage Output
•Increased by Extensive Research
Uncle Sam’s foresters are work
ing harder than ever devising new
ways to produce more timber for
defense and to increase the forage
production of the nation’s range
lands.
In 61 research centers, 102 ex
perimental forests, and 14 experi
mental ranges forest service re
search men are conducting many
different studies.
At the Fort Valley experimental
forest in northern Arizona re
searchers discovered f h a t the
growth rate of ponderosa pine can
be doubled if stands are cut light
ly every 10 to 20 years rather than
cut heavily every 40 to 60 years.
Ridding southern pine stands of
overtopping hardwoods pays off,
the research center at Crossett,
Ark., decided. Ten years ago they
cut or girdled all hardwoods two
inches and up in diameter on an
experimental plot. Growth of the
released pines has been so rapid
that a thinning out was made this
year.
The control of forest fires has
long been a part of the Forest
Service research program. Methods
of determining the fire danger each
day have b*en worked out and arei
used regularly by forest administra
tors to help them judge how many
men need to be on fire duty each
day and how many men they need
to send to the fires that occur.

W HILE this year’s Academy
Awards are still news, Pars-
mount has been holding advance
screenings for the press of “A
Place in the Sun,” which will cer
tainly be among the strongest con
tenders for the best film of 1951.
Elizabeth Taylor, never more beau
tiful, Montgomery Clift, giving a
performance that could hot be bet
tered, and Shelly Winters head a
SHELLY WINTERS
superb cast. Miss Winters, wearing
no make-up and rubbishy clothes,
should easily walk away with the
Oscar for the year’s best actress.
George Stevens’ production and
direction are outstanding. “A Place
in the Sun” will take its place
among the best motion pictures ever
produced here or abroad.
The day Gene Nelson left home to
begin work in Warners’ “Golddig-
gers of Las Vegas” his wife gave
him a healthy kick and his small
son threw an old shoe at him—
just obeying an old theatrical su
perstition which is supposed to
bring the best of luck to the vic
tim; the Nelsons are dyed-in-the-
wool show folk. But “Miriam swings
a mean right,” said Gene ruefully.
CROSSWORD PUHLE
LAST WOK'S
ANSWER ^
U.S. forest researchers report
that bugs and disease take a
far greater toll of timber than
fire. They are in constant
search of means of protecting
the nation’s forests.
BUGS AND DISEASE take a
bigger toll of timber than fire.
At the Institute of Forest Genetics
in Placerville, Calif., geneticists are
producing trees that will resist
disease and insects. They have de
veloped a cross between the Jef
frey and Coulter pines that with
stands attacks from the pine re
production weeviL A cross between
eastern white pine and Himalayan
pine show great resistance to blis
ter rust.
In working toward a better range,
forest service technicians have tak
en abandoned farmland that was a
dead loss and converted it to pro
ductive grazing land. On idle fields
near the Bitterroot Valley of Mon
tana foresters used a preparatory
crop method of seedbed prepara
tion. They planted wheat or barley
the first year. Then they sowed
crested wheatgrass in the grain
stubble. This method of planting
controlled the troublesome cheat-
grass that often causes failures In
reseeding such ranges and also
netted a profit of $4.55 an acre.
Water runoff experiments have
been conducted at many research
stations. At the Coweeta experi
mental station in North Carolina
research men have studied the ef
fects of various types of timber
cutting and land use on the flow
of wateri They have discovered
that the streamflow from a water
shed can be materially increased
by removing those trees which
waste a great deal of water in
transpiration. They are also run
ning a small farm to see what ef
fect traditional hillside farming has
on water runoff and soil erosion.
To aid industry the Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory at Madison, Wise.,
developed a new process for pulp
ing hardwoods which is simpler and
less costly than the chemical pulp
ing processes. They found that over
mature Douglas-fir timber infected
with a pitting called white pocket
cgn be used for construction pur
poses.
Other forest service researchers
conduct surveys of forest lands to
determine how much timber is
available In this country. Their re
ports have been valuable to the
National Security Resources Board
in determining what forest resources
are available for national defense.
The reports have also aided wood
using industries in finding suitable
locations near raw materials.
The work of the research forestp
ers is vital not only in the defense
program but also in everyday liv
ing. Their findings are the prop
erty of the American people. Re
search foresters welcome visitors,
issue free publications and make
their studies known through national
forest administrators, extension
service workers, state agencies, in
dustries and farm foresters.

THE
FICTION
CORNER
THE O'MADDIGAN'S
By Patrick J. O'Brien
r lMORROW is Flannagan’s wake,
Kathy O’Maddigan recalled, as
she hurried up the brownstone steps
leading to the apartment where
she and Paddy had lived since their
marriage three years ago, this very
day.
Kathy smiled
as she visualized
the new spring
outfit she would
wear at the gath
ering. Paddy was
proud of her dress, too, even if he
didn’t say so. She knew he liked tl)e
way it emphasized her figure. Of
course he had complained about the
cost, adding: “If you want to waste
money on clothes, you should have
married a banker.”
But the argument about the dress
was not the real reason she had
left. The breaking point was reached
when Paddy had refused to buy the
darling bonnet displayed in Mur
phy’s window. “Ridiculousl” be
said.
Ridiculous? How could a hat be
ridiculous when every day, for
nearly a month, she had stopped to
look in the window and admire It.
Reaching the apartment door, she
turned the knob, but the door re
fused to open. Apprehensively, she
turned the knob back and forth,
but to no avail. She was locked out.
Kathy blushed furiously with indig
nation.
Then she exploded:
“Open this door! Do yon hear
me?” she shouted, pounding
frantically on the warped panels.
4 Tt's not enough that I work my
self to the bone so a body can
have a decent home to live in.
No. I most be locked out of my
own home. My home, mind
you!”

GRASSROOTS
States Seek Method of Retaining Thleland Wells
By Wright A. Patterson
»$«HE SUPREME COURT decided
* by the narrow margin of one
vote that, despite the practices of
more than 100 years, the tidelands
from which vast quantities of oil
are being extracted, are the proper
ty of the federal government and
not of the states. Unless this deci
sion is corrected by definite and un
mistakable legislation by congress,
it means a severe loss of revenue to
several states, including California
and Texas.
The idea originated in the so
cialistic mind of Harold Ickes,
and it was in keeping with
President Truman’s welfare
state program. Congress passed
the legislation needed to pre
vent tiie consummation of the
seizure, but the President ve
toed it. A new bill is now before
congress, which, if passed and
vetoed, can be passed over a
veto, as more of the states
realize the tidelands seizure
may be but a prelude to the
seizure of other natural re
sources now belonging to the
states. What is proposed in' the
bill new before congress is to
give to the states a quit claim
deed for all the natural re
sources within the boundaries
of each, including the coastal
waters, so the federal govern
ment could not repeat the steal
Ickes attempted, and with the
support of the supreme court
has, up to this point, succeeded
In putting over.
Seizure of the tidelands is one of
many moves in the socialization
program. Back of it all has been
the hidden motive that hes domi
nated the President’s program of
socialization of the nation, despite
wkat he may have said to the con
trary. With gold, silver, coal, iron
and oil, and other natural resources
in the hands of a centralized fed
eral government, things that were
never dreamed of by the drafters of
the Constitution, we would be far
on our way to a centralized, social
istic nation, and only a step away
from totalitarianism.
The representatives of the
people in Washington, the mem
bers of both the senate and
house, should not hesitate in
preventing such a consumma
tion while there is yet time.
Those in Washington who are
promoting a socialistic program
know full well that the great
majority of the people do not
want it, and for that reason
they resort to hidden methods
to achieve their ends. Proteo-
tion against such methods lies
with congress.
The states have leased these
tideland oil fields to oil producing
corporations, and the corporations
have invested vast sums in their
development. In plants and equip
ment Should such arrangements
now be terminated, and the federal
government now lease these fields
to other oil producing companies,
it would result in a battle royal in
the courts, that would clog court
calendars for years to come. It is
a certainty that the present holders
of these oil leases, made with the
states in good faith, and in which
many millions for drilling and
equipment has been invested, will
not merely move out and sacrifice
their investments without a fight
to the last court. They can hope
that the supreme court might
change its narrow margin verdict
should cdhgress not pass the need
ed legislation that would restore
those coast oil fields to their right
ful owners, the states. Should con
gress not do so it is only a step to
another socialistic seizure of state
properties, effecting practically all
of the states.
It might be good politics for
President Truman to dispense with
the services of a few who have
profited from some of the graft
that has been uncovered rather
than to wait for the Republicans to
use “turn the rascals out” as a
campaign issue. The stenographer
has her mink coat, and for the
good of the cause could afford to
step out of the White House pic
ture. So also could Paul Dawson
who has enjoyed his hotel enter
tainment It would be a move to
ward morals and ethics.
“Your home,” Patrick O’-
Maddigan’s voice vibrated
through the thin partition. “Is
it now?”
“Your home,” Patrick O’Maddl-
gan’s voice vibrated through the
thin partition. “Is it now? And only
this morning you were ready to
walk out of my house.”
“When I get my hands on that
stubborn neck of yours,” Kathy O’
Maddigan shoutfed, “I’ll . . .”
“Sure now,” Paddy said, “would
you be wanting to harm your bread
and butter?”
“Open this door, I say!”
“In good time, woman,” Paddy
replied. “It’s your Irish temper that
has the best of you.”
“Temper!” Kathy shouted. “A
fine one you are to be talking of an
Irish temper. Who was It that woke
the neighbors with his carrying on
in the wee hours of the morning?”
No answer.
“It was Patrick O’Maddigan,
that’s who it was. And all because I
wanted the money to buy the hat.”
##tjUT the price, woman. I couldn’t
■P afford a week’s wages for a
bit of lace and cloth.”
“Don’t you want your wife to be
the best dressed lady at the wake
tomorrow?” Kathy asked.
“That I do. But could you not pur
chase a hat that’s more reasonable
in price?”
“I had my heart set on wearing
that hat to the wake,” Kathy said.
“Don’t you love me?”
“It’s not a question of love,”
Paddy replied, “it’s the money Fm
thinking of.”
“Then you’ll not buy the hat for
me?”
Silence.
“Let me in, Paddy,” Kathy
pleaded, a pathetic note creeping
into her voice. ’Til be good . . .**
There were sounds of movement
in the apartment. Then Kathy heard
a key rattle in the lock. Swiftly
she stooped, slipped a shoe off her
foot and straightened up with It
grasped firmly in one small hand.
She struck swiftly as the
was opened suddenly. But it
so sodden that Kathy was
thrown off balance and the
mentnm carried her to the
ter of the room. She landed
ceremoniously on her hands and
knees.
Brushing sside a strand of hair
that was tickling the tip of her nose,
she looked up at Paddy who was
standing beside the open door. In
his hand was a bit of Kelly green
and a little white veil with a pink
and blue ribbon on the side.
“You did buy it Paddy. But . • •
you . . . said , , .”
*1 meant to surprise you Kathy,”
Paddy explained. “I couldn’t let
you down. Have you forgotten out
wedding anniversary?”
“Oh, Paddy,” she said tenderly^
