DR.. Myerson's Suicide
Antidote Another Step
Toward Happy World.
BY LEMuEL z. PARTON.

A FEW years ago, in Paris, a
~ famous biochemist told me Of
~ drug he had developed which
u gave great peace and felicity
to its user and left no Ill effects. He
said he never would reveal its name
or its makeup, not because it was
physically injurious but because it in
duced too much happiness.
Several persons on whom expert
mented," he said, became so con-
tented they did not want anything,
except simple food and shelter. Too
much Of that would wreck world econ

although physiologically 1t would be
boon to humanity"

Psychological Association at Hanover,
N. H.. DR.. Abraham Myerson turns
loose drug, name and all, as an anti
dote for suicide, exercising very re-
markable influence" on persons in a
state of extreme depression. The name
does not suggest that it is a relative
or derivative of the Paris drug. but it
is interesting to note that both were
developed in the field of endocrinology.
Many miracles, some Of them still

psychiatry. He has conducted many
novel experiments, among them his
use of what he terms Legitimate

terical paralysis. Last Fall. he re-

before. He produced and staged
a number of shows, each a little
more artistic than its predecessor.
Ship told me a few years ago,
when he was in Minneapolis play
ing the "Red Moon," that in each
of his plays he made it a point
to introduce ten minutes of serious
drama unknown to the manage
ment and without the knowledge
of the audience of what was being
done, paving the way for the day
that must come when the serious
Negro actor would be accepted
upon any stage.
It made the way clear for the
Emperor JONES'" for "Porgy,"
for "The Green Pastures" for
Roland Hayes and for Paul Ro-
bison.
I feel that Jesse Ship has been
justified; that the white public has
become acutely aware of the in
trinsic ability of Negro artists and
that the time is not far distant
when men and women of the group
will be accepted for what they
have worked so hard to become
worthy opponents of one of the
oldest and most cherished enter
tainments-the American stage.

POsthu1nOus

Here is another little chore that
could be done handily by, or
through the channels of the Amer
lean Legion.
The committee on Child Welfare,
could get it's overalls good and
dirty we believe, on that which
home, church, and school find diff
cult to reach.
After the contortions and con-
volutions incidental to the morning
meal, the normal vigorous type of
kid dashes off to school where he
spends from five to six hours a day.
During the time he is under the &C
tual influence of the teacher, his
environment and surroundings are
naturally good, but when school is
out, and he has rushed home and
grabbed a sandwich, done that
routine disappearing act that would
make magician jealous, there is
no telling except by the process of
black art, where he goes. Most Of
the time on his return home he
doesn't know where he has been.
By the same token, no one else
does.
That is where you come in, Child
Welfare Committee.
Don't you believe it possible, you
might find interested people in
every neighborhood, who would CO.
operate in trying to find clean
amusement for these lads?
Of course you would have to stir
around, agitate, and otherwise
make nuisances of ourselves, but
you would probably find the results
worth the price.
We admit the big task of super
vision, but there are some things
a child will do correctly, if they in
terest him.
An old barn with set of boxing
gloves, a trapeze, and wrestling
mat will give a bunch of kids al
most as much clean sport, and by
the process of unwritten law
among youngsters, just as good
lessons in clean craftsmanship, as
an expensive gymnasium.
We have an idea of what the
community reaction would be to
one who preached, Corners breed
crime" and actually tried to pro-
vide something, no matter how
humble, to discourage corner
gathering. Of course we realize
that the child welfare committee
