@. Recently you gave this rule
for using the comma: I'm series
of three or more. use comma be-
fore and as: iron, coal, and steel" ;"
Since you are noted for your COM
mon sense and impatience with
hair-sphtting, we feel that you must
have a good reason for supporting
the rule. So please explain it for
my tipping class, will you?-C. L. T.
A. The tendency today is to use
commas only when they are needed
for the sake Of clearneSs. The main
purpose of the comma is: ID to
mark Q natural pause; (2) to pre-
vent vagueness or confusion.
l. Note how the commas mark the
natural pauSes in this sentence:
Human nature will not flourish, any
more than q potato, If it be planted,
for TOO long series of generations,
in the same worn-out soil.
2. Note how the commas change
the meaning of this sentence:

intended to duck the trick and
West would be in with no safe lead

However, West did not cover, and
the queen held the trick, East fol-
lowing suit with the eight. The
jack Of diamonds came next and
this time West covered. There was
a slight temptation to go up with
the ace in the hope that the 10
would fall from East and all the
tricks could be claimed. But the
instinct for self-preservation made
itself felt and South played low
from dummy, permitting West to
win the trick. East failed to follow,
and there was no safe lead West
could make. Had declarer greedily
reached for the ace of diamonds,
West would have won two tricks
with the 10 and seven.

massacred l3 neighbors and bystanders few
afternoon in Brooklyn "a crazy man" WELD
ing a 14-inch knife killed four and wounded
three passers-by.
These are only two of the most spectacular
outbreaks. Lesser ones occur somewhere
almost every day. One could take place in
your own block You or your child might be
one of the victims
Wear with No Brakes"
In New YORK, man suffering from the
delusion that Catholics were responsible for
his sons death, got even" by shooting
wildly at 40 Catholic schoolboys, killing one
and wounding six.
Recently in Michigan, self-pitying farmer,
brooding over his loneliness, decided to COM
init suicide and take few people with him.
Result: 10 wounded neighbors.
In Indiana, an estranged husband,
embittered by his domestic difficulties,
killed his wife, children and two newly
wetls before taking his own life.
"A dangerous neighborhood crank is like
a car with no brakes" says Edwin J. Lukas,
former director of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Crime. IF you saw person bleeding
on the street you'd call doctor or ambu-
lance. But what about somebody showing
symptoms of mental crackup? The physi-
cally i'll person can lose only his own life. But
the unattended crank can be dangerous to
all who cross his path"
Evening star., 1950-05-28

Today 10 million Americans suffer from
some mental disorder, the US. Public Health
Service reveals. By conservative estimates, at
least half million of them are psychotics -
individuals with serious mental illness.
By being your neighbor's keeper, you can
also protect the mentally i'll from themselves.
Though it takes only moment to commit a
crime, it requires lifetime of disturbed emo
tional preparation. If given proper care in
time, many sick persons can be nursed back
to mental health.
How can we catch these people before they
kill, before the page-one headlines scream?
In protecting yourself and your family, you
must act sympathetically and intelligently.
1t is extremely important to heed this cau-
ton: be very careful before you label anybody
crank. Don't be overly suspicious of per-
sons not behaving exactly as you do. Amer
icas greatness stems from not being a nation
of conformists Many neighbors considered
Lincoln an eccentric. Don't be like the old
Quaker who told his wife, The whole worlds
queer but me and thee - and sometimes I
have doubts about thee"
But there are danger signals which you
should watch out for in your community.
Here are some of the types which psychia-
trists, judges and criminologists agree you
should be alert to:
1. Sex Offenders
As FBI Director ]. Edgar Hoover aptly
warns, Long before sex fiend reaches his

eventual crime of violence, there is ample
evidence of his tendencies" Fred Strobe.
66, Los Angeles sex slayer of neighbor's
little girl, was twice before apprehended for
molesting children. Some of the worst sex
offenders are men over 60 who, because of
their age, have gotten off with mere disorderiy-
conduct charges, DR.. Ralph Brancale recently
reminded the NJ j. Chiefs of Police.
You should report to the police for psy-
chiatric observation O Peeping Toms,
(2) sexual exhibitionists, 81 strangers
Turing children with candy, toys, money
or other favOrs - no matter how innO-
cent they look.
Fifteen states have recently moved to crack
down on sex criminals And bill has been
introduced in Congress making it Federal
offense Qike kidnaping) to molest a child.
But stricter laws. public hysteria and in
creasing the penalty won't stop sex crimes.
Sex offenders are sick people who need
treatment" reminds DIR. Dallas Pratt,
National Mental Health Foundation staff
psychiatrist.
z. FHeaxm Fanatics
Gun collecting, target shooting and hunt
ing, of course, are normal hobbies for many
Americans. But anyone with morbid inter-
est in lethal weapons and with no healthy =
outlet for their use is worth watching. Too
many state and city officials are careless in
issuing gun permits. And in some towns guns
can be bought without permit - in pawn

shop. And the county is still flooded with
war souvenirs. For these reasons, we must be
constantly alert for the firearm bug.
:. Religious Fanatics
These zealots exhibit behavior which
churchmen are the first to disapprove. As
Dr.. George S. Stevenson, former president,
American Psychiatry Association. and medical
director of the National Committee for Men
tai Hygiene, explains: Instead of benefit
ing from formal religion as normal people do.
they vainly try to create bizarre religion
of their own" Such cranks may sound HARM
less, but their twisted egos may lead them
to commit violent acts.
4. Paxanoiacs
These people have decisions Of persecution,
expend much of their energy trying to right
imaginary wrongs they have suffered. Para
noiacs groundlessly suspect their mail is being
opened, their food poisoned, their lives plot
ted against. Their morbid suspicious are dam
gerous to others. One paranoiac shot his
doctor because he believed the physician was
deliberately delaying his convalescence.
5. Ecceusxics
Most eccentrics, fortunately, are harmless.
But if one shows unusual cruelty or sudden
unprovoked rage, he may be worth closer
attention.
According to authorities, you should also
be wary of abnormally behaving persons who
excitedly declaim or gesture to themselves in
public; who blame the worlds woes on Jews.
Catholics, Masons or any other particular
group; wear scanty or weird dress.
Remember, though. appearances can be
very deceptive 1t isn't necessarily the man
with the long beard you must watch The
smooth-shaven, clean-cut nnvec0gnized psy-
chotic can be a far greater menace. THE
worst killer l ever met looked like pink
checked choir boy" prominent judge said.
What can city do about its neighborhood
cranks? Judges in Chicago's Municipal Court
have come up with one constructive approach.
They now refer cases of antisocial behavior
to the Psychiatric Institute attached to the
court. Institute psychiatrists, headed by
DR.. A. J. Arieff, made pioneer five-year
study of common neighborhood quarrels.
These 'clothesline'' disputes - ranging from
dumping garbage over neighbor's fence to
firing shots into an apartment-house ceiling
- frequently bring to the courts attention

brand-new sedan. They thought
they'd take a picture of the bear
sitting behind the wheel of their
car. They baited the front seat
with sandwiches and got out. The
bear got in, and they snapped him
from several satisfactory angles.
Then the bear refused to leave.
He wanted more sandwiches, but
there weren't any more. He sulked
and looked hurt. He created an
impasse which the couple inn
petuously tried to dissolve by
nudging him with long stick.
The bear was surprised, then in
dignant. He expressed his feelings
by taking the interior of the car
apart. He began with the luggage
and then ripped up the upholstery.
Before departing through a door
he tried to leave by way of the
windshield. He smashed that, too.
Then there was the camper in
Yellowstone National Park who
gave bear three bottles of vanilla
extract, which has a high content
of alcohol. After drinking the ex-
tract, the bear barged into the
campers tent, emerged with a
bottle of Scotch and a bottle of
vitamin pills. He polished them off
and then got into an argument
Evening star., 1950-11-12

ANY similarity between the antics
IA of a black bear and someone
you may know is purely coinci-
dental. Imaginative tourist opinion
to the contrary, the bears in our
national parks aren't human.
Every year, however, several
million visitors meet their first
bear at close quarters with no in
tervening bars. Sitting up on his
launches with his front paws fold
ed across his stomach, the bear
invariably reminds someone of
fun-loving Uncle Louie back home.
A born performer, any black
bear is willing to encourage this
illusion up to a certain point. Be-
yond this, complications begin.
A Tough Season
hight now the bears are getting
ready to 60 into Information for
the winter. It's been a tough sea-
son, and they hope that next
years crop of visitors will show a
little more common sense in their
dealings with the local residents.
Consider the honeymoon couple
from Milwaukee who stopped to
get acquainted with half-grown
bear while visiting Great Smoky
Mountains National Park in their

truck. He lost, and rangers re-
moved him to a remote area of the
park to sleep it off.
Bears and rangers understand
each other" explains John S.
Mclaughlin. former Superinten-
dent of Grand Teton National
Park. "It's surprising how a bear
can identify rangers uniform.
He'll give one wide berth, espe-
cially ifhe's been up to something"
Mclaughlin is tall, rangy and
windburned, has a quizzical what
next?" look in his eyes. All rangers
who have lived among bears have
that look.
He Loves His Stomach
BEARS can be downright inge-
NOUS characters" he says. But
all their ingenuity is directed to-
wards one end, food. A bears chief
interest in life is its stomach"
One morning this past summer
a somewhat short-tempered tour
list from Michigan was fishing in
the Yellowstone. He had a beauti-
full, expensive fly rod, but he
wasn't having any luck. He was
just about ready to call it a day
when he heard a splash near by.
Looking around, he saw a black
bear scoop up a large trout and
flip it up on the bank. This was
quickly followed by another. The
bear looked him over casually,
then resumed fishing.
At this point the tourist lost his
temper completely. He picked up
a trout and smacked the bear right
in the face with it. The bear reared
