ner opens the bidding, he is apt
to become ambitious. We might
call the two-spade bid a slight
overbid, and certainly North's
five-heart bid was optimistic.
The opening heart lead was
won with the ace, heart ruff
ed, two rounds of diamonds
taken, and then the third heart
ruffed. Now the point Is, should
the declarer take the spade fl
nesse? No., because il 1t loses,
East will return a club and de-
feat the contract. Declarer must
hope that West holds three
spades to the queen. or If East
holds the queen of spades, that
it is a doubleton. He cashed an
ace and king of spades, then led
the jack. This threw West in
the lead forcing him either to

clarer will discard : club from

BY PETER EDISON

II you happen to hear Of some
soldier having to 60 see an IN.
p" in this war, c.: if you happen
to know of some officer getting
an IN. p" commission, don't
think this is a mistaken refer
ence to an IN. p" or Military
Policeman.
IN. p" is a perfectly good
Army abbreviation. 1t stands for
"Neuro- Psychiatrist"-an Army
doctor who is a specialist in the
study and treatment of nervous
and mental diseases.
You may not have heard much
of the N. P.'s. before, but you
may hear more and more about
them in the future, for this re-
latively new medical science of
neuro-psychiatry is playing an
increasingly important part in
this most modern, ultra-techno-
logical, super-psychological of
all wars.
Before any soldier Is sent
overseas, he is given an N. p.
examination. During his induc-
ton and training periods, the
soldier may get on or two or
three previous N. P. examina-
tons. The purpose is to keep the
number of nervous and mental
casualties to as low a figure as
possible.
Use of psychiatry in the U. S.
Army is still ar below what
the psychiatri IS themselves
would like to see, and far below
the development of neuro-psy-
chiatry in the German army. One
reason is that there aren't enough
American psychiatrists.
PSYCHIATRIST
SHORTAGE
In the entire United States
there are perhaps only 5000 re-
cognized specialists in this field
c. medicine. And mcn. of these
psychiatrists are too old for Ar
my service, while others are es-
sential for staff work in insti-
tutions. The result is that the
available qualified personnel
for the armed services is only
around 900.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

How many psychiatrists the
Army should Rave is somewhat
OF a question. Army Medical
Corps organization calls for
minimum of one doctor to every
1000 soldiers in peacetimes. To-
day the Army has j.5 doctors
fo.' every 1000 men and eventu-
ally may have about as doctors
to every 1000 men. DR.. Hany
Steckel, leading authority in the
field of psychiatry, has recon-
mended one psychiatrist for ev-
cry 5000 soldiers. That would
mean 200 psychiatrists for every
million men, or 1000 psychia-
trists for five million men, the
approximate strength of the arm
ed forces today.
On that basis, there aren't
cough psychiatrists to do the
job. But there are several hun
dred psychiatrists commissioned
as N. P.'s now and more doc
tors are being brought into the
service at rapid rate. Chief of
the division today is Col. r. d.
Halloran, formerly professor in
psychiatry at Tufts Medical, the
man who developed and was
head of the M .ropolitan State
Hospital at Waltham, Mass, CEN
ter for work in men;1l and ner-
vous diseases for the Harvard,
B S on College and Tufts
schools of medicine.
Purpose of lie War Depart
ment's development of psychia-
try is to help the Army fight
the war. 1t is not to take care of
the mentally ill, for a soldier
who is nervous wreck is liza
bility to any ARM. Not only is
the soldier himself counted out,
but there must be disqualification
provided, with doctors n d
nurses to care for him. The big
job Of psychiatry in wartime is
to find these potential psychia-
trio cases before they become
nervous breakdowns, and to see
that they are weeded out before
they become public charges.
IT'S SOMETHING NEW
One principal trouble Is that
psychiatry is still such new sci
ence that there is no sure test to
tell how men who may be getting
along all right in civilian life
will behave under the changed
conditions of actual combat, or
even in the war-training period.
There is no test to determine a
mans courage and endurance.
What it takes to weed out the
mental misfits for war is close
checkup on trainees in the pre-
combat stages, and that's what
the Army's N. P.'s are being de-
veloped to do.
When a young doctor Is COM
missioned as an N. p. in the Ar
nv Medical Corps, Re is assign
ed first to what is know, &c a
neuro-psychiatric pool at one Of
the large Army general hospi-
tails. The N. P. may spend from
several weeks to several months
in this pool, getting his indoc-
trination as a soldier, and re-
ceiving his first training in mil
itary psychiatry, lear.lir how to
tandle cases in large numbers
and how to run a psychiatric
clinic, for your Army psychia-
trist must be prepared to ham
die up to IS cases day.
When the Army N. p. COM
pletes his internship and Is HIM
self conditioned to Army life,
then he will be ready for assign
nent with troops in the field, to
detect and treat mental and ner-
vous cases.

ASH. NOT HICKORY

Before Calvin Coolidge left for the
White House, his Vermont neighbors
decided to recognize his devotion to
the old farm by giving him a hand
made rake.
They made the presentation an
elaborate ceremonial. The orator who
presented the rake dwelt on the quail
ties of the hickory wood from which
he said it was made.
Hickory" he said, like the Presi-
dent, is sturdy, strong, resilient, I'M
broken" and so on, and so on. Then
he handed the rake to Mr.. Coolidge
and the audience settled back for the
speech of acknowledgment.
The President turned the implement
over, scrutinized it carefully, and then
made his address in single word
cash." he said.
