Forum for Discussion
OF Wartime Strain
Set for Wednesday

Advice Of experts on how to
avoid serious results to the health
| of mind and body from wartime
strain in Washington will be offered
the public at a forum at 8 pm.
Wednesday at the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superin-
tendent of st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
who will preside at the forum, en-
! phaSiZed in an interview yesterday
that the mental stability of the
home front population needs at
| tention as well as does the mental
health of the returning war vet
eran.
Col. William c. Menninger, di-
rector of the Army's neuropsychia-
try consultants' division. will de-
liver the principal address at the
Wednesday evening forum on Men
tai Health in Wartime" the first
of a series conducted by the new
Washington Metropolitan Health
Council of the Council of Social
Agencies. The public is invited
without charge and will have op-
portunity to ask questions of the
speakers.
Heavy Mental Strain Here.
Danger from mental strain is
very real in Washington, DR.. Over
holser said. He pointed out that
about 600 per 100000 of the popu-
lation here are in mental institu-
tions, as compared to an average
of only about 300 per 100000 in
the States.
The body and mind are so closely
| inter-related, he said, that they
react strongly on each other in
times of stress. Thus special at
tention to things which build up
physical health as we'll as emotional
stability are necessary to prevent
serious strain, inefflciency, bodily
illness or worse.
To keep the body sound, he rec
commended proper food, adequate
rest and sleep, and as much time
as possible in the sunshine and
fresh air. To help counteract
worry and emotional strain he sug-
gested wholesome means of "es-
CAPE" such as some kind of un-
selfish service for others, recreation,
music, religion.
Worry is normal human &C
tivity," the psychiatrist said. "The
only human animal who desn't
worry is one with no brains, or one
who has perfectly fantastic life
like some of those we have in St.
Elizabeths.
Home Front Needs Relaxation.
"The home front people need re-
taxation, surcease of the stress. The
man at the front gets some of his
surcease from tension in battling
against the enemy. Back home
people may engage in volunteer ac-
tivities helping the war effort"
Efforts to get relief from tension
drive many people to alcoholic
drink, DR.. Overholser said, adding
that trouble is not soluble in al
cohol."
"One of the most sentative things
in preventing breakdown" he as
serted, sis to look at things realist-
ically." He warned against mental
procrastination," or putting of the
problem of facing difficulties. The
thing to do with trouble, he said,
''is to meet it and do something
about it."

Army's Use Of Visual Aids in Mass Education
Viewed as Key to Postwar Teaching Methods
Engineers Program
Shown in Exhibit
At Fort BeIvoir
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,
Star Staff CORRESPONDENT,

FORT BELVOIR, Va, Mar. IT.
Out of the tragedies of war are GER
tain to come benefits to harassed hu-
manity, among them new methods
of education, those who should know
agree.
A striking picture of some new
ways of educating people quickly is
found in an exhibit which has just
opened at this great engineer school,
ing center. It's display of what
the Army simply and modestly calls
training aids"
There are visual aids. These sug-
tgest pictures, perhaps plaster mod
els and movies. Actually they're far
more than that. You'll find, in" this
extensive exhibition of how the
Army imparts technical information
in a hurry, models of machinery
functioning under glass, stripped
skeletons of engines and gears and
brakes, small gadgets blown up" to
sufficient size really to study, models
of bridges and pieces of ordnance
with their parts painted in glaring
colors and labeled for proper scru-
tiny. You'll see Diesel engine in
action, its explosive forces shooting
flames like tongues of an adder.
Tangible at Times.
And these aids" are not only
visual, but auditory and tangible at
times. All the senses are used when
helpful. The eyes pick up every sort
of picture, still and animated, photo
graphic or painted, as the case may
be, every type Of raised model
whatever may show on the instant
what the teacher is driving at. The
ears catch sounds significant in war.
The hands learn how certain things
feel.
If you're studying how a truck
operates, how an antiaircraft or
machine gun fires, what makes
grenade do what it does, you see the
operation as through an X-ray, just
as the medical student studies from
a model the circulation of the blood
or the way brain cells are formed.
The Army, said Brig. Gen. Gordon
r. Young, commanding Fort Belvoir,
undoubtedly has gone far beyond
the schools and colleges of the
country in progressive education.
The Army-the Corps of Engi-
neers in particular-was confronted
with the tough job of teaching highly
technical subjects as swiftly as pos
sible. There's no doubt in the gen.
erals mind of how efficient these
training aids have proved in facili-
tating the program.
Listen to another officer who is an
expert in the line. Maj. E. W. Zol-
Ter came to the Army from Pennsyl-
vania State College, where he was

Senate HEARINGS

Patterson, Kirk and

Undersecretary of War Patterson
will be the first witness tomorrow
when the Senate Military Affair.

gerry, and Capt. Sue Dauser, director
of the Navy Nurse Corps.
The hearings are expected to last
several days.
Gen. Kirk announced yesterday
that pending Senate action on the
draft bill, the Army would have tc
continue pressing for voluntary en-
listment of nurses, because it could
not wait for Congress to complete
action on the legislation.
Corps Far Below Strength.
The estimated strength of the
Army Nurse Corps on March was
46,500, leaving about $4,000 as the
estimated number of recruits needed
Immediately, it was said at the War
Department.
I'VE are almost a year behind"
Gen. Kirk said. I'VE should have
had $4,000 nurses by June, 1914"
The Army has set its present
objective at 10000 nurses.
Since February 3, it was revealed,
applications for the Army Nurse
Corps have been decreasing Pas

parently had the opposite effect, a

He added that even Red Cross COM
mittees on recruiting seemed to

more and more nurses.
Boards Have Final Say.
The May bill, which the Senate
takes up would amend the Selective
Service Act by making unmarried
nurses between the ages of 20 and
a eligible for induction into the
armed forces. The services would
be required to commission them in
the grades customarily given gradu-
ate nurses. The Procurement and
Assignment Service of the War Man
power Commission would continue
to classify nurses, listing those con-
sldered essential TO civilian health,
but these findings would be only
advisory and selective service boards
would have the final say.
Several features of the House bill
are expected to stir controversy in
the Senate, and attempts undoubt-
edly will be made to substitute VOL
untary methods for the proposed
draft. The present bill makes male
nurses also eligible for commissions,
although the Army and Navy Nurse
Corps consist only of women. The
services also would be required to
supply their needs without racial
discrimination

Two members of the District
Court bench, Chief Justice Bolitha
j. Laws and Associate Justice James
w. Morris, were designated by the
United States Court of Appeals
yesterday to hear appeal arguments
in three contempt citations in the
sedition case.
The citations involved Henry

mistrial last December.

pupils the chance to "tear down"
and rebuild the great motors and
other equipment on the planes.
There was no suggestion that the
pupils be given a chance to fly the
planes.
Aviation mechanics will afford
one of the biggest fields OF oppor-
tunities for youth in the postwar
period" said Mr. Stefan. "The Civil
Aeronautics Authority now has a
postwar program for airports in
some 5000 places over the country.
Every community is aroused to
the fact that aviation is the COM
ing thing, and many are voting
bond issues to provide ports. But
fine mechanics and good machine
shops will be needed and communi-
ties having those will be ahead of
places merely having landing fields
on the routes Of the airlines."

A proposal that one or more two

advanced yesterday by Representa-
tive Stefan, Republican, of Nebraska.
He said he believed big planes of
this type, as well as light trainer
