Neurosis Prevalent.
Approximately so per cent of the
persons who come to the life ADJUST
rnent center, Mr.. Lowell says, are suf-
fering some sort of neurosis which is
undermining the life of the individual
and which may be indicated by phys
ical. moral and social symptoms. Gen.
orally the symptoms themselves give no
obvious clue to the underlying cause,
which Is deep-seated and may require
hours of probing by the psychiatrists:
These psychiatrists are members OF
the staff of st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
A volunteer worker is DR.. Sinclair
Bowen, prominent local physician and
Episcopalian layman, who at the Tri--
ennial Convention of the Episcopal
Church here last Fall advocated
closer cooperation between EpiSco-
palian clergymen and physicians. AT
this session the Society OF the NaZarlne
proposed the establishment OF clinics
somewhat similar to that established oy
Rev. Mr.. Lowell in all of the larger
Episcopalian churches.
A frequent cause which sends people
to the iife-adjustment center is some
marital trouble which threatens to lead
to the divorce courts. Others come for
advice on securing jobs for which they
are suited and stil1 others for arrange
ment of the family budget. The trou-
BILE with some is purely physical.
The life-adjustment center is only
one of the experiments which Rev. Mr..
Lowell is conducting this Winter. One
is a survey of the religions of the world,
each of which will be explained by a
prominent member, where it has been
possible to obtain such speaker. Thus.
Ahmed Mouhtar Bey Turkish Ambas-
sador to the United States, will explain
Mohammedanism. Catholicism will be
explained by Rev. John N. Cooper, pro-
feSsor of sociology at Catholic Univer-
sity, and Professionalism by-Bishop w.
r. Mcdowell Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church There will be IS lecturers,
with one lecture each Thursday night
Or. Nolan D. G. Lewis of ST. Eliza
beth's Hospital now is giving a series
of Sunday afternoon lectures on psy-
chology and psychiatry. and the church
also is fostering child guidance study
course at which parents are enabled to
hear some of the foremost experts In
the United States on the physical ano
mental life of children.

proposals which Mr.. Street had made.
The first three of these--1) that school
officials distribute literature and infor-
nation concerning the Chs to- the
students, who in turn would carry the
information to their homes; 90 that
the art classes be permitted to pre-
pare posters advertising the merits of
the Chest, and 49, that school build

support of the board
The fourth suggestion of Mr.. Street.
however that to permit committee OF
school officials to spread Community
Chest data among the teachers and
other employees In the system and to
accept subscriptions from those en-
ployes, drew DR.. Carusi's opposal.
Mrs. Phillip Sidney Smith agreed
following considerable discussion of the
plan, DR.. j. Hayden Johnson also reg
istered his disapproval. Isaac Cans
and Henry L. Gilligan we're the other
two members present who upheld the
proposal and argued for 1t.
Mr. Cans explained the whole prin-
ciple of the Community Chest and de-
clared that it was not proposed to make
demands upon the employees. DR.. Ca
rusi countered with the declaration
that the discussion was not Of the
Community Chest, but simply Of pro-
posed piece of machinery to further
one of its operations. He declared he
was heartily in favor of the Chest and
intended to make donation which
would, of right, be expected of him,
but that he would not favor the Board
Of Education taking any definite action
which would allow certain Of its en-
ployes to solicit funds from their SUBJ
ordinates.
Mrs Smith suggested that the school
officials committee be allowed to dis
tribute information and even subscrip-
ton cards, but that they be not per-
mitted to accept the cards from the
teachers. DR.. Carusi approved the
amendment and after further discussion,
DR.. johnson seconded Mrs. Smiths
motion. The vote was a tie, with
Mr.. Cans and Mr.. Gtlligan voting
in the negative. DR.. Carusi cast the
deciding ballot. The other four MEM
bers Of the board-Dr. II. Barrett
Learned, Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle.
Rev. r. T. A. Bennett and Mrs. Mary
A. McNeill-were not In attendance,
due to absence from the city or per-
sonal or family illness.

Local Enforcement Laws.
"In the 1927 session I supported, and
the House and Senate passed. local pro-
hibition enforcement laws for five coun-
delegates from the counties affected In
each instance these laws appeared to be
in accordance with the desires OF the
majority of the people of the counties
affected, and in each instance the men,
bers of the Legislature from those
counties stated that the laws would
strengthen the enforcement of prohibi-
ton in their respective counties.
IT joined in introducing one of these
laws from Montgomery County. which
prohibited the transportation Of liquor
in Montgomery County ~-'s either
within or outside the e ..-y. Mont
gomery County law only prohiL. the
sale of Intoxicating liquor or its tfans-
portation for sale.
Judge Peter Of the Montgomery
Frederick Circuit. in his charge to
the grand jury last month, stated that
prohibition was as well enforced In
Montgomery County as In any part OF
the United States We believe this to be
the situation in Montgomery County and
call attention to the fact that the peo-
pie of Montgomery County approved our
present local option or county prohibit

1T am unable to see anything that
can be gained for sound government or

the counties of Maryland to vote pro-

HEALING ARTS LAW
CHANGE IS URGED
Conflict Pointed Out by Com.
mission in First Report
to Congress.

In its first report, just transmitted to
Congress, the newly created commission
to regulate the healing arts in Wash
ington recommends one change IL the
law to do away with the necessity OF
registering certain groups that are spe-
cifically exempted from the provisions
Of the act. The commission points out
that there is conflict between section
43 of the law. which lists those to whom
the law shall not apply, and section 2,
which states that those exempted from
licsnsure under section 43 shall be duly
registered"
"The commission" says the report,
sis Of the opinion that if the groups
mentioned in section 43 of the act do
not come within the provisions Of the
said act that their registration is neither
required nor desirable"
Change Is Suggested.
The commission suggested a change
in language that would make it un-
necessary to register these groups.
Section 43 provides that the act shall
rot apply to (a) the treatment of any
case of actual emergency: (b) to the
practice of massage or dieteticS, or the
use of hygienic measures for the relief
Of disease. or to the practice Of any
other form of physiotherapy for the
relief of disease. or to the practice of
x-ray or laboratory technicians under
the direction of a person licensed to
practice the healing arts. provided that
clinical or photographic laboratories in
operation and practitioners of clySter-
tory treatment, within the District Of
Columbia January l, 1923, may con-
tinue' to so operate under provisions Of
this act; or (c) any use of ordinary
hygienic, dietetic or domestic remedy,
provided that such use is not in viola
ton of the provision of sections l and
of this act; or (d) to persons treat

itual means as an exercise or enjoy
