business of permanently sobering ■alcoholics have challenged two ideas which are held by some of she leading authorities. These ideas are: (1) You can’t force an habitual drunk into giving up drink; and (2) Such a drunk has to “hit bottom’’ before anything can be done toward making him a sober citizen. The challengers of these ideas are Dr. Frederick Lemere and Paul O’Hollaren of the well-known Shadel Hospital for Alcoholics in

Seattle, Wash. With the help of Dr. Milton A. Maxwell of the State College of Washington, they anayzed the reasons why the 1.038 alcoholics treated at the hospital over a 10 year period, accepted treatment aimed at sobering them for good. The hospital accepts no patient who isn’t volunteering, but the study shewed that “considerable duress, both direct and indirect, was involved in leading the patients to accept thefeapy.”

Outside Pressure “Few patients would have sought abstinence had not some sort of pressure been put on them to give up their habit,” they said. “The decision to stop drinking is usually prompted by the threatened loss of a job, family, security, physical or mental health, or the respect of assocites. “Many patients, for example, agree to treatment only after a wife has filed suit for divorce or

an employer has made it clear that continued employment is contingent on elimination of the drinking problem.” Their views were on particular interest because the Shadel treatment method has a psychological basis; it is aimed at establishing a "conditioned reflex” in the alcoholic which serves to make alcoholic drink unattractive. Os the 1,038 patients studied, many. at first did not want to stop drinking or did not believe they were al-

coholics. Change Minds The method of treatment will not prevent relapses unless "the alcoholic wishes to stay sober. Therefore, the doctors continued, “it can only be assumed that once brought to treatment by either direct or indirect duress many patients who at first want to continue drinking and do not believe they are alcoholics, eventually change their minds and choose abstinence as away of life.” As for the “hitting bottom” the-

ory: It is defeating because “by the time the patient reaches this phase, physical, psychological, and social deterioration may have progress beyond the point where recovery is possible.’* But how and when to put the hdat on alcoholics is "a delicate problem,” they granted. “If applied too early or too forcibly, the patient may react with increased rationalizations and denses that further delay his facing the realities of his drinking problem. If applied too late or too mildly, there

may be little left to salvage.” They made their report to the Center for Studies on Alcohol at Yale University. Wig Hairdos Now Big U.S. Fashion No Fad, Selling By Mail Orders By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor NEW YORK ( UPl)—lt’s getting so you can’t tell the pompadour without a program. All because of the wig hairdos which sprouted in Paris last year and now have become such an American fashion that Sears, Roebuck is selling them mail order. “The wigs aren’t a fad,” said Doris Fleischer, treasurer of the Joseph Fleischer Co., which has been in other people's hair for 128 years. “They’ll stay in style because they provide the solution to a problem plaguing 50 per cent of the female population.. .that of baby-fine, limp locks.” Good Camouflage But women other than those with hair problems are wearing the new crowning glories covering their own, in colors- ranging from a conservative brown to a startling red and white candy stripe. Some buy them just for kicks; others want a change of color without having to bleach or dye. Still others, especially business women and busy socialites, find them artful camouflage for a head of real hair desperately in need of shampoo and set. Wig makers can’t produce startistics on overall sales of wigs, but Fleischer said its busines ha “tripled” since a year ago when Paris designer Hubert de Givenchy put wigs on models for a fashion show. Those were from Carita Souers, Parts hairdressers, who now are doing a boom business internationally. In More Colors The first wigs were of genuine hair, most of it from Europe, but it didn't take long for the synthetics to move in. Today, a girl can buy a wig in nylon or dynel or in a combinatiu. of the two, at prices well below those made of nature's product. The synthetics are in the $25 to $35 range; the real, from $125 on up to as much as $350 for a custom job. With the synthetics came a wider color range, because of the way these fibers take tinting. "Anything that adds to glamour will sell in America,” said a realistic business woman named Madame Tovar, a hair stylist in Sweden until 12 years ago when she ' came to New York. She pioneered the all-dynel wig, and features it in seven “basic” shades—pow'der blue, pale pink, pale orchid. black, titian, silver blonde and platinum blonde.
