longer be worrying. It is i'm
possible to be relaxed and worried
at the same time.
Investigations at the Cniver-
sity of Chicago from 1922 to 1886
revealed that muscles participate
in all mental and emotional
activities. Worry, fear and other
states Of feeling exist not in the
brain alone, but as patterns
called residual tension"-that
is. muscle contractions, or the
tension which continues even
after one thinks that he has
relaxed his muscles.
Since one worries with the
brain and muscles, relaxation of
specific muscles will stop the
worrying. This involves the
muscles of the eyes, which
participate in visual imagery,
and the muscles of the speech
apparatus.

book, How to Free Yourself From
forced to the hospital against
his will.
But where a person is hos
pitalized over protest. even If
his condition can readily be
shown to have been a serious
one. those responsible for his
commitment may be tagged with
charges of assault and battery.
In some jurisdictions they might
also be charged with false i'm
priSonment.
Chances are that this penalty
will apply to close relatives as
well as anyone else who be-
comes directly responsible.
The probability that relatives
or other sincere participants in
a situation like this will later
be prosecuted by the irate and
unwilling patient may not be
very great. But the possibility
is often there.

probably have required several
parachutes about "a feet in
diameter and the load would
have come down quite slowly
about 80 feet per second. Winds
would blow it in all directions.
1t might land thousands Of feet
from the intended target-quite
possibly in enemy territory or
in country from which recovery
would be impossible.
Under the present system
parachutes only "a feet in dia-
meter are used the rate of de-
scent is about 80 feet a second
Only small surface is exposed
to the winds and the fall is so
rapid that these have little effect.
There is reasonable assurance
that the load will land within
a few feet of the traget.
Economy is one factor. Pre-
sent price Of the big parachute
is about $3.50. of the 24-foot one
$3.50. Under combat conditions
there is slim chance that either
will be recovered after a drop,
but the chances Of getting back
the small one for reuse are much
better than with the big one.
Very Expensive
During the Korean war it was
found that supply by parachute,
while quite effective in emergen-
cieS, was very expensive and all
the necessary material was ex-
hausted after operation of a few
days.
The scientists here are looking
beyond the parachute, especially
for such heavy objects as tanks
and big guns. One idea, on which
there has been little expert
is to drop such objects
without parachuteS on platforms
to the bottoms of which rockets
are attached. These would be
fired automatically to slow down
the descent as the load neared
the earth.
1t has been found practical to
drop up to IS pounds of water
or gasoline in a specially con-
structed rubber container, with
out any loss of the contents.

WORRY in this column quite
frequently. I suppose you don't
have to be a doctor to know that
Worry is nothing to be Laughed
on" Yet, we doctors observe it
in all Of its horrible shapes and
forms.
We see patients who range
from quiet discomfort to actual
suicide as a result # persisting
worry. We have seen how the
drop of worry can faint the
ocean of happiness with fear
and foreboding.
1t is for these reasons that I
always try to be openminded to
any suggestions that may be
anti6otes against worry. AS you
well know. life would be easier
for the millions who unneces-

to stop.

to solve the problems of relaxa-

Nearly 100000 widows are re-
ceiving monthly pension pay
ments from the Government due
to their low income and their
deceased husbands military
service during World War l.
Thousands more are eligible.
but are unaware of it.
The Veterans Administration
CVA) makes the payments and
the decisions as to who's eligi-
BILE. 1t decides on the basis Of
three fairly simple rules.
Three Requirements
If you're the widow Of a
World War ! veteran, chances
are you can decide by checking
the following three require
ments:
/. Your husband must have
been discharged under condi-
tions other than dishonorahle
from at least 80 days of military
service-some part Of it during
the World War I period. If he
was discharged with a service
connected disability, you may
be eligible even though he had
less than 80 days service.
The World War I period, for
purpose Of eligibility to a widows
pension. was April 6. 1917 to
November IL, 1918 or up to April
/, 1920 for men who served in
Russia.
2. You must have been mar
ried TO your husband prior to-
December IA. 1914 or for at least
10 years before his death.
In addition, you must have
lived continuously with your hus-
band from the date Of your mar
riage until the time he died,
unless you we're separated
through no fault Of your own
II you remarry. you lose your
right to a widows pension due
to your first husbands service
This is true even though your
second husband should die or
you should divorce him.
3. You must have a yearly
income Of less than sl.400 II you
have no dependents or less than
$4,000 If you have dependents.
Toughest One
This Is probably the toughest
OF the requirements TO get a bead
on because some income may not
be considered as such under the
VAS regulations.
For example, the pension it,
self is not counted as income
against the sl.400 or S2,700.
limitation. Neither is any other
kind Of payment from the VA
such as United States Govern
ment Life Insurance. the type.

cause he had served during World
War l.
And, there's a special rule

Security.

be dropped without injury. They
also have improved greatly the
accuracy Of drops. reduced costs
and saved critical material.
There is the prospect drops by
parachute in another war will be
much more common than here
tofore. Empty beer cans, OF
course. will supply only a very
small part Of the demand and
would be used only in an emer-
gency. They happen to be OF
about the right weight and COM
position, but presumably almost
any empty tin can would be
about as good.
Aluminium and Cardboard
These cushions, or honey
combs" are being made here
and probably always will be
made out of two materials,
aluminium and heavy cardboard
The cardboard cushion might be
described as something like a
series of egg cartons, one on top
Of the other, with the thickness
and size Of the cells determined
by the kind and weight of the
material to be dropped.
They are good for almost
everything and are cheaper even
than empty beer can cushions
The aluminium ones look exactly
like a honeycomb painted with
silver They are many times
more costly than the paper
cushions and will be used for
dropping only extremely fragile
materials. like medical supplies.
The purpose Of the cushions is
to absorb the shock of hitting
the ground from great heights.
The cushions take the shock and
crushed. very little of the i'm
pact is taken by the load above
them. With both paper and beer
cans there is a little elasticity
and rebound. Boxes are likely
to be tipped on their sides by
this rebound. It makes no diff
ference with tin cans or rifles
1t might be serious for cases of
medicines in glass walls. With
the aluminium there is no re-
bound at all.
With these cushions, up to a
ton Of material can be dropped

pletely dominated by his family
particularly his mother. He has
allowed them to spoil a very
beautiful relationship.
Il know l am Jealous and
dependent on David, but it's only
because I love him so much,
Isn't it natural to be that way
about someone you care for?
David and I make a perfect
couple. We agree about every
thing. Wen often turn to one
another and say exactly the
same thing at the same time
Our friends say we would be
the only husband and wife in
the world who would never
quarrel.
If only David can grow. up
and stop letting his mother
dominate him. we could be
happy together"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Miriam is fighting a straw
man-David's family.
David has set up this straw
man himself because it is as
hard for him as for Miriam to
face the truth. He does not want
to marry her.
There are undoubtedly strong
bonds. even love, in this rela-
tionship. David is probably not
lying when he says he loves
Miriam. A childhood friendship
that has blossomed through
adolescence and has resulted in
the close meeting of adult minds
that Miriam describes, is a pre-
cious thing and not easily cast
aside.
When, in spite Of such Stronp
bonds and such a long friend
ship. David feels unable to
promise marriage" it is evil
dent that something is lacking
in the relationship and that
David is trying gently to detach
himself.
The minor faults" David de-
Scribes are not the real reason
for the breakup. Both David
and Miriam probably recognize
that her jealousy and de-
pendency merely represent her
efforts to hold him.
Far more likely, it is the very
perfection of the relationship
that worries David. Things are
too smooth. There are differences
and irritations in a relationship
in which two individuals are
growing. This relationship has
already reached its fulfllnient
and lacks excitement and posi-
bility for both Miriam and
David.
For her own sake, as well as
David'S. Miriam should be brave
and let this boy of the hook.

Legion Parade
In Baltimore
Judging Winners

BALTIMORE. Aug. rs R.-
Members of the American Legion
from all parts of Maryland
paraded through downtown Bal
timore last night in the enter
tainment climax Of their annual
convention.
Legion officials. led by State
Comdr. David L. Brigham,
State, city and military officials
and top-ranking officials of
other veterans organizations re-
viewed the parade as it passed
City Hall.
Earlier, delegates passed a
resolution urging Federal prison
sentences or fines for violations
of the United States Flag Code
Under provisions of the resolu-
ton, anyone who disobeys the
code would be subject to six
months Imprisonment, a fine
of $3.50 or both.
The Legionnaires also re-
ceived, but did not Immediately
act upon. a proposed resolution
calling for a cash bonus for all
Maryland war veterans. The $50
million dollars needed to finance
the bonus would be financed
through revenue from the pro-
posed dog racing tracks the
State Racing Commission has
been asked to approve.
The resolution estimated that
individual payments would
amount to about $500.
