quently troubled by a rush of
blood to the head Though she
passed the menopause years ago)
and this is accompanied by a sense
of impending death. She is very
forgetful and sometimes fits Of
trembling come over her. For
merly very neat, she is now in
clined to be untidy. She has turned
against some members Of her
family. She answered my ques-
tons listlessly or else passed
them by with naughty disdain.
Family Worried
The family was very upset, and
rightly so, but it is not difficult
TO comfort them. 1t is pretty
automatic that if person of over
55, previously responsible and of
good mental ealibre and heredity,
suddenly has a mental upset,
physical cause is at the bottom
of it.
One Of the commonest and most
frequently overlooked of these
causes is myxoedema, a shrinking
of the thyroid gland which makes
it lose its secretion. Elderly, or
little less than elderly, people in a
household develop this disease,
and go neglected for years. The
family doesn't think it is worth
while taking them to doctor.
They say, ooh, Mother is aging
so fast" or Mother likes to Sleep
all the time" And tire poor things
are shunted out Of the family
circle when little thyroid extract
by mouth would in most cases fix
them up so they were quite them
selves again.
Poor Circulation
The blood vessels, as time goes
on. get had not only in the arms
on, get hard not only in the
arms or at the temples, but in
the brain. And this means
bad circulation. which means
bad thinking. Not that all
old people are necessarily
that way. All credit to the old
sters whose minds are vigorous
and hearty up to four score and
ten. Though ! own to a deep con-
viction that no man has a resilient
brain after 10.
In the case Of the lady Of SO,
whom l described in the first
paragraph, | found her blood
pressure elevated and her retinal
arteries very tortuous and thick.
And the mere explanation that
she had something real the matter
with her nearly made cure. The
poor thing was secretly convinced
that she was going insane or
blind, and she cheered up i'm
mensely when she found there
was an explanation for her con-
dition, and the outlook was not
so bad.

House Committeeman
Report Wide Riff
On Excess Profit Tax
Three Points Under Fire:
Anything Can Happen
Members Declare
BY TIE Associated Press.

! By tie Associated Press.
Members of the House Ways and
Means Committee reported last
night that dissension within the
committee over the proposed excess
profits tax had grown to the point
where anything can happen"
These points were said to be I'M
der attack
l. The proposed four-year base
period, 1886 to 1899, inclusive. Earn
ings during this period govern to a
large extent the untaxed credits
which would be allowed, under
either of two alternative systems for
figuring the tax. There were con-
tentions that the base period years
were not representative years and
that corporations with deficits dur
ing the period would suffer hard
ships.
2. The so-called average earn
ings" method of computing TAX
credits, under which a corporation
could claim a tax exemption on an
amount equal to its average earn
ings during the base period. Some
members were arguing this gives
too great an advantage to concerns
which have been prosperous during
the last few years.
Invested Capital Formula.
3. The formula employed in the
so-called Invested capital method
of computing tax credits. This
formula permits corporations which
have earned 10 per cent or
more on their capital investment
during the base period to 60 uI.-
taxed on an amount equal to 10 per
cent of the capital investment. Con-
Germs with lower earnings receive
lower credits, the minimum being 6
vested capital and 4 per cent on
remaining invested capital.
Some members argued that the
minimum was too low and that a
wider margin of profit was needed
by many small concerns.
Democrats Join Fight.
Opposition within the Republican
minority on the committee crystal
lized at an informal meeting held
prior to the first committee ses-
sion yesterday. Some Republicans
said that all save possibly one OF
their number would oppose the tax
in its present form and that sew
eral Democrats had joined IN the
fight.
Chairman Doughton minimized
the discussion within the group. but
asserted there had been claims that
the tax formulas Disseminated In
favor Of some concerns.
He added that there had been no
showing that ANY real hardship
would result from the tax.

Army's Arms Supplies
Ample for Training
100000, Chief Says
Shortages Aren't Kinds
To Affect Busic Teaching
Of Droftees, Marshall Says
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An official inventory showed to-
day, offlcers said, that the Army has
an ample supply, not only of rifles
but of all basic weapons, for a force
of 5000, 900 men-more than twice
the number that would be under
arms in the first year of compul-
sorry military training program.
Replying directly to critics who
have said that the War Department
could not equip a conscript army,
Gen. George c. Marshall, chief of
staff, declared fatty yesterday: I'VE
have plenty of materiel to train all
these men,"
Although he derided fears that
the United States would have a
wooden gun" or 'broomstick" army,
Gen. Marshall acknowledged with
out hesitation that adequate sup
plies of newer. lightning-war weap-
ons were lacking. He referred es-
pecially to anti-tank guns, 60-mil-
limeter mortars and 90-millimeter
anti-aircraft guns.
Taking issue with the argument
that conscripts should not be draft
ed until modern weapons were
available, he declared that SOL
dier's basic training could be given
with existing equipment.
Plenty of Rifles.
1--WE have enough .30-caliber rifles
for 100000 men right now Gen.
Marshall said. 1T makes little diff
ference in the training of soldier
whether he has a Garand tsemi-
automatic) rifle or .30-caliber rife"
Backing up Gen. Marshall's state
ment with its latest count of basic
weapons. the War Department said
it owned 5000 75-millimeter guns
and $4,000 machine guns exclusive
of aircraft guns, which also were
sufficient for 100000 men.
