In which packs are picked ur

Just as camping packs still are
today. When fathers began

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
What Is Causing
His 7 untrums?
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN,

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
can I do for my husbands
bad temper? He flares up like
an explosion when least ex-
pected. He has high blood
pressure and a coronary con-
dition.-Mrs.. T.
IN A BOOK years ago I
described a temper tantrum
as the swish Of a dragons
TAIL" terrible to behold and
leaving m any innocent,
wounded people in its wake.
Never having met a dragon,
/ suppose I must call this q
fanciful description.
SO, let's Just say that
temper in some persons is
like a child in a tantrum:
Often you don't know the
cause, and Just hold your
breath hoping that every
thing will turn out all right.
I'd have to know more
about your husband, Mrs. T.
How long has this been going
on? Since q few weeks after
the honeymoon? Then he has
probably had a trigger-happy
temper most Of his life.
Whether the fault is built-in
or due TO an unhappy home
life. is now beside the point.
I doubt that you can do any
thing about 1t now.
However, II there has been
a change in his personality
recently. then perhaps there
may be q medical reason for
II. For example. I have
known many persons who
could not cope with the re-
sponsibilities Of accepting q
diagnosis of high blood pres
sure, coronary disease. or
many other conditions and
became difficult 10 live with.
How old is your husband2
II between 80 and so, there
is also the possibility that he
may be adjusting 10 the male
climacteric. Sometimes male
hormones will help. What
ever the cause, and whatever
the cure. temper explosions
are dangerous for high blood
pressure and coronary pa
tients.
Occasionally I receive
letters which ! don't UNDER
stand.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: /

cerned about cataracts. You

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

A recent column on the diff
ferences between British and
American auto terms brings an
interesting letter Of amplifica-
ton and comment from, of all
places, Cali. Colombia. The
writer, w. Lionel Jago, explains
that he started driving in Eng
land in the 1920s - about the
time that I started driving in
New England-so he seems well
qualified to comment.
Mr.. Jago does not take ex-
ception to statements in the
clipping (Which he, Of course
calls a "cuttingO about ouI
hood being their bonnet" our
gas their petrol" and so on
Nor does he stress very strongly
the point that our traveller is

But he does object to "hoot-
err" as a synonym for auto horn
II do not remember hooter ever
being used" he writes. How.
ever, hooter is used for a works
factory siren that is blown
at 6 am, noon and so on
He also demurs at the state
ment that "our wrench is their
spanner." In England, he says
the spanner fits polygonal
nuts; the wrench, fitted with
gripping teeth. is used on round
pipe. Mote" he adds roguish-
ly. when asking for a wrench,

DEAR ABBY: The school
just called to tell me that they
were going to keep my boy
back. That means he will
have to take the fifth grade
over again. I asked If he
would have the same teacher
next year and they said yes.
I told them they were max
ing a big mistake because If
she couldn't teach him any
thing in one year, she sure
couldn't do 1t in two. What
do you think Of q school
system like that?

had it longer and it was al

Do Other Motorists
Brighten You, Too?

florists are as dangerous in
their way as speedier ones.
They Just dawdle along, I'M
certain whether to stop, 60
ahead. or turn, and some-
times cause better drivers to
do the wrong things and get
clobbered.
These poky motorists, I've
noticed, almost invariably are
middle-aged or elderly men
wearing hats or women In
the same age groups with
heads wrapped in scarfs. Per-
haps a psychologist would say
that the same instinct that
makes them fearful Of CATCH
ing colds causes over eau
tiousness behind the wheel.
Whatever the explanation,
they should be steered clear
of. Mote: When Sir VIM
ston Churchill was criticized
for ending a sentence with a
proposition, he retorted:
THAT is an Grant bit Of
pedantry up with which I
will not put"
Another motorist to be
avoided is the one with q
teddy bear, kewpie doll, baby
shoes or some other toy dam
Cling from his visor or rear
view mirror. The other day,
an auto with a huge pair of
dice swinging from the mir
ror passed me so closely that
If I hadn't exhaled, / prob
ably wouldn't be here. And
when I yelled, Watch where
you're driving, "the driver
stuck his ducktailed head out
the window and shouted,
Keep 'em rolling, bub!"
Also to be Stunned Is the
fellow with a girl snuggled
UP to him. Such q pair held
up traffic on Route 4 all the
way from Upper Marlboro to
Westphalia road Saturday
before last, kissing their way
up hills, hugging on the
downgrades and holdin g
hands on the curves. 1t isn't
true what they say about all
the world loving lovers.
Other Menaces
Bald men in open converti-
bles, men with crew cuts and
women with fancy hatrdoes
in any kind Of car often are
bumper riders-don't ask me
why. And people in little for
eign cars frequently buzz in
and out like hornets, perhaps
Just to prove they can do it
OR does it give them a
sporty" feeling? ,
Then there's the chap who
ICONS along with one hand
clutching the rain gutter and
the other holding the steering
wheel as loosely as If he were
afraid 1t would bite him.
Somebody ought to tell him
about blowouts.
The most dangerous driv-
ers of all, however, are the
ones addicted to safety slog-
ans. / suppose this Is what
the psychologists would call
a compensatory gesture. They
evidently feel that a good
slogan somehow makes up for
their bad driving.
The other day, a car rode
my bumper through Rock
Greek Park, threatening to
drive right into my trunk.
Near the top of Snake Hill
it suddenly swung out. passed
so close that the wind gave
me an earache, then swung
back in so quickly that / had
to stand on the brake pedal
to save the front fender. And
on the rear bumper was this
sign:
whats the rush? You'll
get to the undertaken soon
enough!"

BY PHILIP II, LOVE

by F1ALhE n, LIVE
Ask almost any Maryland
motorist where the worst
drivers come from and he'll
tell you Virginia. Ask a Vir-
ginian and he'll probably say
Maryland. But a d. C. mo-
torist, being neutral, is likely
to consider drivers from both
States equally dangerous.
Ernie Pyle, who criss-
crossed the country by auto
mobile, gathering material
for his column, wrote that
the most frightening motor
lists he encountered were
from Illinois. A Chicago
newspaperman traced him all
the way from Washington to
Albuquerque by phone to re-
tort: "You say that just be-
cause you're from Indiana.
Everybody knows that Indi-
ana has the craziest drivers
of allp
Personally, I'm inclined to
doubt that geography has
much to do with driving skill
or Judgment. I've been scared
out of my wits by cars bear
ing the tags of Just about
every State = in cities, on
turnpikes, and on country
roads. And the drivers have
been Of both sexes and all
ages.
I'm positive, however, that
carelessnesS q n d ineptitude
are on the increase, and that
menacing motorists have GER
tain characteristics which
make them readily identifi-
able.
Used to be I'd encounter a
dangerous driver maybe once
or twice a week in town
or, on trips, once every 100
miles or so. Now, however, I
rarely get to my office and
back, q round trip Of about
ID miles, without having my
nerves tangled or my nor
mally sunny disposition
ruined.
Sun-Struck Motorists
Some days and some times
Of day are worse than 9TH
ers. and weather conditions
also seem to be q factor. The
Friday evening rush hour Is
dreadful in any weather, but
a pleasant Sunday afternoon
can be even worse. Just as
the moon controls the tides
and sets hounds to baying,
the sun seems to cause some
motorists to run wild.
On my way home last Fri
day, I had so many close
calls / began to wonder If all
rs Of those people reported
missing from st. Elizabeths
were hiding behind steering
wheels. Cars going my way
kept dartin g from lane to
lane; others shot out Of side
streets as If Thirteenth street
NV. had been reserved for
them. Twice I had all / could

drivers who ignored the fact
that between 4::30 and $50
