Encland's Advantage

Comparison OF American police work with that OF
EneIandrs Scotland Yard leaves the advantage all On
the side Of the British: but It Is only fair TO point out
that the British police have q far easier Job.
This point was made In m address before an Ohio
police group by DR.. Harvey walker OF Ohio state
University, who conducts . course In criminoiosy and
has studied British police methods extensively.
Britain Is an island. he pointed out, and II Is almost
infinitely harder for q wanted criminal TO escape
than 81 Is In this country. with it, vast "open spaces
and les network OF state lines. Further. the English
mans inherent respect for law prompts him 70 aid
the police far more than the American citizen ever
dreams Of doing.
The British system q basicaIly more efficient than
ours. TO be sure: but in fairness IL must be remer-
hered that the lob "a harder over here.

editor. Journal Of tina American Medical Association.
and Of HygeIa. the Health Magazine
During the World War. 1t was shell shock" Dur
ne the Civil War, IL was soldiers heart"
Today doctors realize that the trouble arises when
the automatic nervous system which controls the
heart is thrown temporarily out Of order and reacts
too severely In response 70 stimulation
The heart beats faster than 1t should normally, and
the person finds himself short Of breath
A study Of such people with disordered action Of the
heart shows that the trouble Is mostly mental or ner-
vous. They lack initiative. are unwilling to 90 about
their normal work, and constantly portray worry, fear
and apprehension
In most instances, rest. recreation, and steps to re-
move the cause, or the sources Of worry. usually win
bring about complete cure.
Doctors recognize the condition when their patients
come to them and complain about their hearts. They
find that the heart and the circulation seem to be
normal, so far as the structure and function OF these
organs and tissues are concerned. but stnl the COM
plant In each case Is that the heart beats too fast and
that the. person Is short Of breath.
This action occurs in connection with activities that
would cause normal persons 70 feel only O little more
rapid rise In the heart beat and 10 have very little diff
ficulty with breathing.
When people with disordered action Of the heart are
asleep. the automatic nervous system Is not excited,
so that their pulse and respiration are normal. When
they are awake and exert themselves however, they
become short OF breath and the pulse beat is very
rapid.
In such people the hands and the feet, and some
times the entire body. look blue. The hands are cold
and wet even when the room Is warm
These sufferers complain frequently OF what they
call dizziness. but in such cases the dizziness Ia not
real. Instead. 1t Is a feeling Of ~giddiness and un-
steadiness.
In dizziness everything seems to be spinning around;
IN giddiness or unsteadiness. surrounding objects seem
to be swaying and q person loses his sense Of position
in space.
Naturally. since these people refer their trouble TO
the heart. they complain Of pain in the heart and Of
ten that they have palpitation and can feel the
heart beat.
