Technical Comeback
BY the Assoeiated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-In one OF
the slowest sessions of the past four
years, the stock market made some
selective progress today although
many leaders faltered.
There was a little further short
covering for the lengthy week end,
Major markets will recess Monday
in observance of Washington's birth
day. Customers, on the, whole, gave
Wall Street wide berth and board
rooms were virtually deserted.
Buyers Remain Cautious.
Those who appeared still main
tanned a cautious attitude. There
was certain amount of nibbling for
technical comeback. Accounts
were trimmed by those still skeptical
regarding economic situations at
home and abroad, taxes, labor and
commodity fluctuations.
Dealings frequently were at a
standstill after the opening. There
were isolated gamers of point or
so but. fractional irregularity per-
sisted near the close. Volume for
the two hours was in the neighbor
hood of $50 1000 shares.

Hiqh Coach Not Fired YET
For KIan Threat Publicity

LAKEVIEW, Ga, Feb. 21.-Coach
Walter Bowland, who strapped on
a six-shooter to scarce off the Ku
Klux Klan, hasn't been, fired-yet
The hefty ex-Marine said he
thought he had been dismissed yes
terday when one of his pupils at
Lakeview High School told him
We're sorry to hear you've been
fired"
Later, the coach ran into Miss
Ruth williams, Catoosa County
school superintendent. She said she
had read about his being fired but
that it hadn't happened yet.
But I'll tell you one thing" Miss
williams added, you'll receive q
notice very shortly that you have
been suspended until the Board OF
Education meets the first of next
month. All this publicity is dis
graceful
The school trustees had voted to
let Mr.. Bowland 60 because, they
contended, he had failed as a coach
and because he wouldn't stop giving
out publicity" The trustees can
only recommend, however; the
Board of Education has the final
word.

BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The dis
appearance recently of 400 carats
of diamonds in transatlantic
fight was reported solved yester-
day with discovery of secret cache
of 100000 worth of diamonds at
Lakewood, N. j.
C. E. Wyatt, supervising customs
agent at New York, said the 400
carats which courier reported he
lost on the plane were included in
300 carats, uncovered at Lakewood.
Two Lakewood men were arrested

ceal and transport 800 carats in
cut diamonds which they knew had
been brought into the United States
illegally.
Buried in Tin Can.

Court School for Girls at Lakewood
The remaining 200 carats. they said
were seized in a Lakewood res
taurant.
The men arrested were identified
by officials as Jack Stein, AZ, and
Milton LIGHT, 43, both walters. Each
was held in $500 bail for grand

rested Milton LIGHT in Brooklyn ant
he led the officers to the buried 6O
carats, Mr.. Wyatt said.

GIonduIor Difference Reported
Between the Sane and Insane

Hoagland explained, the major dl1-
ference between the psychotic and
the normal is the inadequacy OF the
former to meet the ordinary prob
lens of life. This inadequacy finally
reaches the point where an indi-
vidual becomes a public charge.
There are many syndromes of psy-
Ghosts, but all may be considered
as efforts to compensate for lnabil-
ity to get along in life.
Measurements Support Theory.
This hypothesis, DR.. Hoagland
said, has been supported excellently
by the measurements Of adrenal
cortical secretions. In the psyche
tics there is no change in response
to stresses, either physical or men,
tai. Tests used were exposure to
uncomfortable degrees of heat and
cold, psychological examinations,
severe reprimands and the like.
The difference between normal and
psychotic was clear cut, he said.
A certain amount of adrenal cor
tical secretion is necessary to living.
The psychotics reach this level
which they share with normal in
dividuals. But there is never any
marked increase regardless of the
circumstances.
. This holds true, Dr. Hoagland
said, regardless of the kind Of psy-
Ghosts from which person suffers.
1t has been tested with victims OF
schizophrenia or dementia praecox
the very different manic depressives
and, women suffering from the in
volation melanchoifa which is char
acteristic of the change of life. 1t
is not true; however, of the large
class of psychoneurotics-persons
who act abnormally but who remain
oriented to realty, have normal rea-
soning ooWers, and seldom cress the
line int i, actual insanity. ,-- -,..r
An Aid to, Psychiatry.
A clear-cut organic differentiation
between the psychotic and the nor
NAL long has been one of the major
needs of psychiatry. This difference.
DR.. Hoagland pointed out, may be
hereditary. It may be either the
cause or the result of the psychosis
The major value is that it provides
psychiatrists with a solid basis for
medical study of the roots of in
sanity.
1t is generally supposed that
anybody will suffer a mental break
down if subjected to sufficiently
severe stresses. This may be be-
cause, after a certain point, the
adrenal cortex no longer Is able to
respond adequately to stresses. The
average man or woman, however,
is very tough and can undergo un-
believable hardships and troubles
without becoming insane. But those
whose cortical response is constitu-
tionally inadequate succumb to the
petty discomforts to which the aver
age person pays little attention.
The study. DR.. Hoagland stressed,
is only starting and will be con-
tinued under Navy contracts.

Science Editor Of The Stor

An apparent physical difference
between the sane and the insane
failure of the adrenal glands to
secrete extra amounts of certain
powerful biochemical substances in
the ordinary stresses of -life-was
reported to a naval research colo
quinn at the Navy Medical Center
yesterday by DR.. Huson Hoagland
of the Worcester Foundation for Ex-
perimental Biology at Shrewsbury,
Mass.
DR.. Hoagland and his associates
have been investigating the output
of hormones from the adrenal cor
tex, or outer covering. From the
medulla, or interior, of this gland
comes the best known Of all the
body hormones-adrenalin. Excess
amounts of this are excreted in all
life's emergencies, preparing the
body to fight or run. The output
of this hormone is controlled by the
central nervous system.
Far more obscure are approx
mately % other substances, all OF
which may be hormones with spe-
cific function in the body, which
come from the adrenaI cortex. The
functions of only three Of these are
known.
They are not under control of the
nervous system, but of a hormone
from the pituitary gland in the
brain. One regulates the conversion
of body nitrogen" to sugar and Its
storage in the liver. Another gov
erns potassium. and still another
the salt metabolism of the body
One eortical extract is used in the
trea tment of the hitherto fatal ane-
mia, known as Addisons disease.
Wartime Studies Made.
Dr.. Hoagland and his fellow d.
rector Of the Worcester Foundation,
DR.. Gregory Pincus, experimental
with the behavior of these hormones
in normal persons during the, war.
They confirmed what had hitherto
been assumed-tlat in some way
fthe net effect of the adrenal corti-
cal secretion was to enable the In
dividual to respond adequately to
the ordinary stresses of life, such
as most people encounter every day
They found that on occasions call
ing for extra effort, at the beginning
Of weariness or in emotional situa-
tions, there were increased secre-
tions resulting in more excretion OF
sodium and potassium and increases
in the number of certain types OF
blood cells.
1t did not require fear or anger
as in the case Of adrenalin. The
adrenal cortex would respond to
mental concentration, petty irrita-
tions and the like. Following the
war, working on a contract for the
Office of Naval Research. they have
followed up their studies with pa
tients at the Worcester State Hospi-
tai for the Insane
