MEDICAL science is beginning
4'A more and more to investi-
gate the common experiences
which have been there all the
time but have been considered
beneath such complicated tech
nical science as medicine.
The boy who is changing the
pitch of his voice from the upper
levels TO a good, rich baritone
often encounters moments when
the sound he emits doesn't land
just where he anticipates il is
going TO hit on the scale.
This always has been a source
Of amusement TO his companions
and elders, but it may be a minor
tragedy TO him.
So medicine, being the human
science which deals with minor
and major tragedies, finally has
got around to a study of this
age-old, common condition.
A DOLESCENCE has been

II is literally true that many

An elder. accomplished. teas
ing brother who knows AL the
tricks of the trade, can turn a
good boy into what will become
in later years a skillful bank
robber or a chronic bum, during
those formative years.
The voice changes are the
ones which all the world can no
tice and while usually the agony
is over in the course of about
three months and the soprano
changes TO the baritone, in some
cases the change begins and
then the boy goes back 10 the
voice of childhood.
DIR. James Cannett Greene of
New York has an explanation
for this by saying that some
boys are timid about assuming
the grown-up masculine role.
The state of adulthood. as he
sees himself entering il. terrifies

the family occupants, make It
inconceivable that use of the
cars is a necessity.
The simmering down of civil
ian railroad travel has come
since the holidays during which
the customers seemed willing to
endure travel discomforts and
inconvenience that they will not
tackle in other times, and the
abatement of this travel is a
matter of congratulation.
1t will enable the railroads to
discharge with greater efficiency
the greatest task in their his
tory, which is the movement of
troops and supplies.
A S I HAVE said before in this
n column, the railroads are
performing wonders in handling
their war assignment. which is
of such vital Importance that
the success of our whole effort
in the great conflict depends
upon them.
The railroads are the very
life-lineS of our armed forces.
Had they begged down at any
time during the last year we
would be confronted by disaster
everywhere.
There are only about $500
Pullman sleeping cars and about
1880 passenger coaches In serv-
ice on the railroads of the ma
ton and there will be no more
during the war because other
war necessities make it impos-

sible for the roads to get addi-
tional equipment.
And as about 40 per cent of
the sleeping cars and Is per
cent Of the coaches are con-
tinueasly engaged IN moving
troops, it should be clear to the
civilians that unnecessary travel
on their part could be calami-
tous.
THOSE who must travel be-
Il cause of business should ar

possible to conform with the
convenience of the railroads.
They should do their travel

avoiding the week-ends, should
make reservations far in adj
vance and should go lightly
equipped as to baggage.
They should bear in mind
that since the curtailment of
automobile travel, the railroads
have had to absorb practically
all the passenger transportation
of the nation, an enormous task
in itself. -......-....--...-.-.
I agree that in time of peace
a certain amount of travel is
necessary to our people as re-

think in time of war il can be
dispensed more easily than any,
