Dr. Novick declared: "One of the serious handicaps to greater progress in the field of men tar health is the archaic concept that 'once insane, al-. ways insane.' This was never correct.

That's because lost-and-found departments--which during 1953 will handle approximately 40,000 suitcases, at least three 'dozen mink coats and several thousand suits and overcoats--usually find their loser. Railroad property clerks' love their work, but it's love's labor lost when they Contemplate the piles "of umbrellas, sets of false teeth, keys, crutches and even toupees which remain unclaimed.

These range snakes, snowshoes and zithers to babies, gas masks, jewels, war bonds, cash, a political petition containing 60,000 signatures, artificial legs, glass eyes and even a kitchen sink (in Toronto). Railroad enterprise in finding lost owners has won applause from police in Eastern cities. The technique encompasses all current sleuthing aids, such as sales slips, identification marks, cleaning tags, pictures, prescription numbers and manufacturing labels. The latter got one erstwhile passenger in trouble. A mjnk coat was found bearing a tag, "To Lois with' love. From "Georgia."

The thirty-seven lines of the Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference spend about $1,000,000 a year of their own money to return articles worth approximately $2,000,000 to their owners. Based on 1952 figures, a little over 250,000 articles will bh lost or forgotten by the traveling public in the East during the coming year. The biggest haul is at Pennsylvania station in New York City, where last year's average was 2,100 lost or strayed items per month. Grand Central Terminal, also in New York, was close behind ;'in j 1952 with 1,500 a month. '/-I,'•/*• Major Eastern stations and terminals will average a monthly turn-in of 6,500 lost articles this year. At just one Chicago depot, the LaSalle street station, the score will be kbout 1,200 each month, but the average will be brought down by the Union Stations in Washington, D. C. and St. Louis, where the monthly total will be 675 and 420, respectively. The biggest recorded find in recent years was the. bag containing $125,000 in jewels which a woman left on her seat when she detrained in New York.

After months of searching and checking, a fraternity pin was finally returned to its pussled owner. He had lost it sixteen years before. ^n absent-minded lady left two suitcases at the head of a stairway in the LaSalle Street station. After three hours and thousands of curious glances from passersby, a railroad employee gathered them up and took them to the lost-and-found otfice, where they were opened and found to contain, among the usual feminine things, over $2,- 000 in cash. The owner was located before she reached home. She had simply forgotten the bags. Finders are keepers only when articles have been unclaimed for ninety days, although really valuable items call for, an intensive search for two yedrs or* more. However, since most unclaimed possessions are in the categories of false teeth, crutches, wigs and second-hand umbrellas, the findens usually lose interest fit their claims. Railroad men, seeking a still higher percentage of returns, would like the public to know that most people are honest. Apparently too many losers assume the articles wiU not be turned in to lost-and-found departments. One man found his own eyeglasses, though. He stormed through various offices of Cleveland's Union Terminal, Remanding satisfaction. He w>as on his way to the president's office whan he ran into the terminal find the lost spectacles.
