M ANY scientists have long believed that
lVA your face and physical appearance have
definite effect on your behavior. on the kind
of life you lead. Out in Chicago one such
scientist has put this theory into practice -
with results that may have the most far
reaching significance
The scientist is DR., John F. Pick, one of
Americas leading plastic surgeons For years
now he has made a practice of keeping his
appointment calendar free every Wednesday.
On that day the wealthy Chicago women
- and men - who want their noses bobbed
or their sagging faces lifted must take their
business elsewhere. Dr.. Pick closes up his
green and gray North Michigan Avenue
Office and drives IS miles with his nurse to
Statewide Penitentiary. There nc spends
the whole day operating free on physical
dcfor,nities Of the prisoners.
DR.. Pick is slim. gray man, 48 years old,
who does not subscribe to the notion that YOU
can't change human nature
Twelve years ago he began operating on
deformed convicts in an experiment to test
plastic surgery as method of preventing

crime. Pick calls the experiment the surgery
of human behavior" AS nearly as he and
other medical men can tell, it's the first ex-
pertinent of its kind in the world, and as he
says. it's still incomplete. Another 10 years
will tell more conclusive story. he believes.
But to the hundreds of men who formerly
were habitual criminals the experiment has
proved this fact: plastic surgery, scientif-
cally applied. can change two and threc-time
losers into decent and honest men.

Operation Statewide" began in 1897 as
result of a lecture DR.. Pick gave after return

techniques he had seen in Europe and made
the point that the value of plastic surgery to

mankind was as much psychological as physi-
cal. Strengthening the bent arm or leg OF
patient who feels bitter because of his physical
defect may straighten bent personality.
In the audience was DR.. Frank ]. Chmelik,
who this year completed 2l years as State
ville's chief surgeon. As he sat listening,
DR.. Chmeiik thought about the deformi-
tics Of many of the prison s $500 inmates.
For years he had been aware that the per-
centage of deformed men ran higher inside
The Big House than outside He estimated
deformities among prisoners to be 20 to rs
per cent of any jailhouse population. There
was, he felt, tie-in between their freak-like
looks and the fact they were in Jail.
After the talk DR.. Chmelik told Pick about
his observations at Statewide
Many times" DR.. Chmelik said, Il would
ask prisoners if it wasn't smarter to 60 straight
than to get into trouble that would send them
to Jail for greater part of their lives. Some,
the deformed and ugly ones. would tell me.
