Erik, "the Mad Halter" according
to reports, is still In France, but his
London house is carrying on Just
the same. A small collection has just
been produced. All hats are on the
small side, many made of silk velvet,
or felt with velvet brims. There are
few gadgets or tricks. Bows are still
featured and one very attractive
model, in black velvet and remi-
niscent of the curate's hat, Is fin
ished with an enormous widows veil
in black silk organdie.
Aage Thaarup, who is in the ranks
of London's leading hat designers,
shows a small and conservative
choice of models, but introduces
note of whimsy in the shape of orig
inal hat pins.
These are about four inches long
and finished off with unusual mo-
tits such as natural looking mush-
rooms, worked in wool and silk,
owls heads, frogs, leather tortoises,
vivid red toadstools, etc.

WHAT IS A sPEC1AIrsT9

Some Of our more ambitious eye,
ear, nose and throat specialists who
treat anything above the neck as
facetiously rubbed head specialists.
And some Of the more versatile in
ternists Of the day are general spe-
cialists treating everything from the
neck down. The entire field Of Spe-
cialism is absurdly overexploited in
America anyway. For every real spe-
cialist now in practice there are half
dozen or more trick specialists who
employ every possible device or
stratagem to lure the unwary lay
man.
A real specialist is doctor whose
knowledge or skill in his chosen field
is recognized by the medical profess
sion, and hence physicians call him
in consultation in difficult cases or
refer their patients to him for his
counsel or. advice. Obviously his
reputation rests on his acknowledged
ability.
A trick specialist is a doctor, any
doctor who chooses to call himself
specialist although he has had
little or no more training and ex-
perience in the particular branch OF
practice he chooses than the average
practitioner has had. The laity fails
to comprehend that there Is no legal
restriction on specialism in practice
ANY doctor who has license to
practice may engage In any speciality
he prefers or any number Of spec
ialties he prefers. And so, taking adj
vantage Of the unWary public, the
six trick specialists usually manage
to waylay the wiseacre who thinks 1t
the smart thing to pass by the ordi-
nary doctor and go straight to a
specialist when there is anything
the matter.
I do not mean to say that the raft
Of trick specialists are quacks In the
popular sense Of the term. 1t would
be easier to recognize and avoid them
II they were. Most Of them are men,
bers in good standing in the various
medical societies and to the casual
observer they may appear to abide
by the principles of medical ethics,
but they advertise for all OF that,
and in ways that are highly effect
i've. They have TO resort to some
such device in order to build a bus
iness-they could never get enough
practice TO pay the rent If they re-
lied upon the confidence Of their col
leagues as real specialists do.

or a profound distress because of
something that you have become in

1t is not enough to treat the SUI
perficial distresses. The underlying
ones must be dug out and dealt
with in a constructive manner. The
dissolving of an emotional complex
can be just as important as the per-
forming of a surgical operation. In
some cases much more so.
Remember this: bot-y and mind
work together, each dependent upon
the other and each influencing the
other. 1t is important to keep each
in the healthiest and most efficient

other satisfaction greater than that
of changing yourself for the better,

and improvement.

\ What Is the commonest physical
disease? 1t is a cold in the head.
A cold brings on a great deal Of
malaise: nasal torment, headache,
backache, weakness, general feel
ing of prostration. There is also the
danger that it may lead to other
and more serious disorders, no one
knows what or how many.
What is the commonest mental
distress? 1t is the worry habit,
Here, too is found the danger Of
having what is considered a minor
complaint leading to something
much more serious: to state of
continual nervous eXcitability, or to
a settled anxiety state, perhaps
deepening at last into a serious de-
preston.
Worry is useless. 1t does not solve
problems. It does not lead to light.
It leads deeper into darkness
and makes the solving OF a problem
more difficult.
Worry becomes a controlling state
Of mind if not taken hold of with
decision. Then a circular process
can set in: worry to nervous eXcit-
ability-to more worry-to more ex-
citability-to more fixed habits of
worry, and so on. Or worry to de-
pression-to more profounder de-
preston. And so on, and round and
round.
The depressed state OF mind
makes the body more susceptible
to disease. A long period of physi-
cal suffering may follow even If a
serious mental condition is avoided.
You must refuse to worry. But,
people ask in a helpless sort OF way,
how can one help worrying when
there is something 70 worry about?
They confuse the ideas Of worry
and Of constructive thinking. 1t is
well to think, but it is not well to
worry.
It helps If you can find some level
headed and properly qualified per-
son with whom you can talk out
the whole matter. Conditions which
seem portentious when considered

"Of course I haven't been on
the field since the team started
working Monday" said Norton,
''but the players and coaches have
been around giving me reports.
Don't worry, we're bearing down
and coming along in good shape
''The Rose bowl has been forgot
