CHILDREN'S MENTAL

Pills are not the only things that
ailing children may need, according
to DR.. Sydney Kinnear Smith OF the
University of California. The situa-
tions that children have to meet are
not as simple as they SEEM" said DR..
Smith. 1T is not enough to tell the
parents that the youngster will get
over these things in time or that we
all went through with it Accepting
symptoms without any attempt at un-
derstanding them paves the way for
adult psychoneuroSis and it Is much
easier to deal with these symptoms at
3 than at 80. Up until now one would
look in vain in books Of child health
for any reference to the mental make
up of child
"The small patient has too often
been looked on as an ensemble OF ton
sils, teeth, fiat feet. basal metholism
and valvular heart, instead OF being
considered as an entity, which includes
q mind that functions through senses,

believes that the modern child health

Satisfaction was expressed by D. A. ".

enactment of the Rogers bill for addi-

men.
Since his election at Detroit last
June National Comdr. w. J. Murphy
Of the D. A. v. has made four trans
continental trips, insisting that Con-
greSs no longer delay necessary legis-
lation to insure increased facilities Tor
veterans needing medical care. In
letter to the Washington ONCE OF the
D. A. v. last week Comdr. Murphy ex-
pressed the belief that Senators and
Representatives are now hearing from
back home, and he looks for legislation
for hospital construction shortly after
Congress reconvenes in December.
George r. Martin, formerly liaison
officer for the District of Columbia De-
partment of the D. A. w., last week ac-
cepted the offer of the Department OF
Georgia of the D. A. v. to do the same
work and has gone to Atlanta to enter
upon his new duties.
Believing that fuller understanding
of the operations of the central ONCE
Of the Veterans Bureau will serve to
make more efficient the d. A. v. liaiSon
officers in all sections of the country,
the national organization has started
on plan to have as manv OF these

weeks ago, and last week T. j. Gallagher
came from Boston to spend several days

Reports from the Veterans Bureau
last week indicated only a few hundred
