U since-and now psychatrsts have dis
covered setting fires is an outlet by which
people. young girls especially, find release for
their mixed-up love life.
What the pyromaniac, as such firebugs are
called, really wants TO do is ''kindle flame"
in someone's heart.
But instead of attracting a boy friend the
potential fire-settets charms go unnoticed, or
her efforts are snuhbed. In other cases a rival
steps in and the girl who gets brush-off can't
face il, or just a temporary quarrel with
best beau may cause the smolderng resent
ment that begets dangerous conflagrations.
Then her subconscous mind persuades her
that touching a match to anything inflam-
mable will settle the love dilemma.
That. experts believe may have been why

women are harder to catch than men.
Fire departments are also kept on
the run to extinguish fires started by
small children. In most instances
children become pyromaniacs due to
lack Of affection.
Dr. Helen Yarnell, who has studied
many children who set fires of this
sort. stated that in every case they
had been deprived Of love. Some were
children from boarding houses with
out any person attached to them.
Others were children with an unsym-

and selfish parents,

FIGURES

PRODUCTION FIGURES
Ickes yesterday estimated
bituminous production for the
week ended August 81 at H.
929 900 tons compared with
100000 tons the previous
week. The bureau of mines esti-
mated anthracite production for
the same period at 900
tons against l,327,00 tons for
the previous week.
This, said Ickes, is far below
a level which would produce
enough coal to compensate for
the tonnage loss during the
strike"
Restrictions a lready have
been ordered on anthracite de-
liveries in the northeast in order
TO achieve an equitable distribu-
ton.
