PSYCHOLOGY 1S AID TO LONELY Family Hospitality, Sports ~~ Urged for Youths in | Strange City.

Times Special

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—For the|-

War against venereal disease, psy- - Chiatry has a new weapon to offer. In addition to the present threefold medical program of eliminating prostitution, enforcing prophylaxis and promptly treating infection, psychiatrists suggest a surprisingly simple remedy for the psychological cause of infection. ; This cause, say the supposedly

sex-minded psychiatrists; has little,

fo do with sex. Instead it has to do .. With loneliness, insecurity, boredom and masculine competition. The vypical candidate for infection, they say, is a boy in a strange town without family or friends. It is not very surprising if that boy . goes off on a reckless binge, with defiant disregard of consequences. The remedy is simple, though not , 8lways available. It is the U. S. O. ideal, plus family hospitality, plus competitive sports. Psychiatrists say the biggest reason for the reckless, heedless state of mind which results in infection is a boy’s desperate attempt to buy a little human companionship. What he really wants unconsciously is not sex, but love or friendship, freely offered, and the feeling of belonging somewhere. When a person feels relatively happy and secure, sex apparently becomes less of a problem. This was illustrated by the recent experience of a captain of the U. S. marines. The men at his post were going on binges at least once a week regularly. With only a vague idea of “getting their minds off women,” he told me, he organized & baseball and bowling league. The binges decreased about 50 per cent When the men got their marching orders, they ceased altogether.

EX-GERMAN LEADER SEES ALLIED VICTORY

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16 (U. P.). —F. Wilhelm Sollman, former. cabinet minister of the old German republic, said last night that the people of Nazi Germany will not have the spirit to revolt until their country is decisively defeated on the battlefield. v Sollman was secretary of the interior under Chancellor Gustave Stresemann and a member of the Reichstag. . He emphasized that the Anglo-American-Russian coalition is “too powerful for Germany to be able to win the war” and urged that the United States now begin preparing itself “for the dominant role it must play in recreating the post-war world.”

BORROW A LIGHT— SAVE THAT MATCH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 (U. P.). —The war production board urges Americans to “save your matches.” Due to increased requirements of the armed forces and necessity of exporting matches to countries where they are scarce, WPB called on Americans to “borrow a light from a neighbor” whenever possible. More than 500,000,000,000 matches are used in the United States annually, WPB said, requiring 70,000,000 to 80,000,000 board feet of lumber and 500 tons of steel. It is considering a plan to conserve materials by reducing the length of matches and eliminating all frills

'GERM-BULLETS’

PROTECT YANKS

Powerful Anti-Toxin Made From Blood of West Indies Carrier.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 16—An obscure West Indian—cursed for life

deadliest form—is protecting the lives of American fighting men all over the world. Every soldier, sailor, coast guardsman and marine who has joined the service since 1938 carries in his blood magic bullets developed at the army medical center here from “Strain 58.” : “It is the most virulent strain of typhoid infection we have ever found,” says its discoverer, Col. J. E. Siler,” and it all originates with that one man, a minor employee of the health department in Panama City.” Boer War Serum Used

Until Strain 58 was discovered, the United States was developing its typhoid vaccines from cultures originally obtained from a soldier who died of typhoid fever in the Boer war. These germs began to lose their potency—and their protective powers—as the years passed. Col. Siler was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone from 1929 until 1934 and he became interested in research work on typhoid. He obtained names of all the carriers known to the Panama health department. ferred to the army medical center here, Col. Siler continued his research. Thousands of small bigeared black mice died of typhoid in his laboratory—but none, he found, died ‘So swifly as those infected with germs from the West Indian. When Col. Siler perfected his vaccine, he called for human volunteers to aid in his experiment. One group received injections of the Boer war strain. Group 2 was injected with Strain 58. Blood studies showed group No. 2 had double the resistance to typhoid infection of Group No. 1. In 1938, “Strain 58” became the basis for all typhoid vaccine manufactured for the armed forces. Carrier Is Watched

To maintain the potency of “Strain 58,” the medical center from time to time sends to Panama for fresh, germ-laden material from the West Indian. The unsung hero of the war against typhoid contracted the disease about 20 years ago. Soon after his recovery the health department discovered he was a carrier. Since then the department has given him a job and maintains strict supervision over his movements. .
