I TALKED 10 a young veteran
Il recently, Perhaps he was an
exception.
After three years of service,
he had been discharged as COM
pletely cured from a nervous
breakdown.
Securing a job in a trade at
which he had been competent
before the war. he was fired
for being unable 10 do the work.
Those who worked with him
soon learned that he had not
recovered from shellshock.
The news reached his in
tended father-in-law, who for
bade the boy TO marry his
daughter.
The lads eyes were wild as
he told me that he would kill
the father. punch his sweet
heart in the jaw, murder some
body 49, anybody - commit sui
eide.
Obviously, this veteran was
in no condition 10 re-enter
society.
The service doctor had told
him that his best chance for
sIdestepping another attack of
nerves was to marry and lead
a normal, happy homelife.
This is an excellent prescrip-
ton, but a shell-shocked man
has little hope to carry it out.
The same society he pro-
tected must protect itself
against him.

one N the most important

The symptoms OF infectious

the development Of jaundice or
a greenish-yellow discoloration
OF the skin and tissues. Wide

John Patrick O'Brien was

days in those who were not pro-
tected. The hepaiitis developed
in those receiving the injections
within 10 days after the treat
ment was given. No further
cases occurred after that time.
However, in those who did not
receive the protective inocula-
ton cases continued TO appear
for some 80 days.
IRON this study, il would ap-
Il pear fairly certain that the
injections OF gamma globulin
served 10 aid in the prevention
Of hepatitis or liver infiamma-
tlon, much as the injections do
in preventing measles. Further
more, IL is suggested that even
after hepatitis develops the in
1ections OF globulin may serve
10 make the disease milder and
shorten its course.

while touring in scout car in the

in Delaney court, which Is off Ninth

The Marines had forced the scout
car into parked auto once and
had chance to escape, but drove
into the blind alley by mistake. The
policemen jumped from their Cal
and made the capture on foot.
Police did not place charges
against the two Marines, but turned
them over to naval authorities for
