Some b u s i n e s s men of our own day appear to be so "cold" as to be entirely lacking In the emotional element. Lord Morley said he wag yefy happy that he seldom lost control of his head. Few persons aye able to make so bold a statement. Most of us have "lost our Mads" at tine time or another^ Many faliores In Jlfe .are. accounted for by the Jack ©f emotional control.

Ifl the ^••'Jbtprprc.tatlpns of life values, whether In literature or In actual experience, large place should be given to the piny of the emotions. However, In estimating these values, in determining methods and in making decisions' between , grave • alternatives, best results are achieved when, "the heads remain cool."- We are living in one of the most in teresting as well as. the most critical* periods of history.

The V. N.

For certain reasons it was not possible for the girls to go to Rockford. Instead, fourteen girls of the Home Hygiene and. First Aid classes, accompanied by Mrs. Rulien, school nurse, motored to Elgin where by previous arrangement they visited the Illinois Stat& hospital, and then to Geneva, where they visited the Illinois State Traninig school for girls, and to Mooseheart, the "City of Childhood." All of the girls were required to write a report of the trip. In the reports, Ruth Klintworth .won $rst honors and Florejwe Lwkiii won second honors.: \ ^ It is described "in the followriftg way by .Rath Klintworth, a member of the graduating class of 1935, - : ' OUR TRIP At 8-:36 'm., May .

After hearing Dr. Shapiro our visit was concluded at the Elgin Sttft^ Hospital, all feeling greatly enlightened as to Mental Hygiene. We then conr tinued our journey to St. Charlesf, where we had lunch and enjoyed the organ music presented by the organist at the Baker Hotel. Wo drove on to the Illinois State Training School for Girls, where we registered and were met by Miss Monahan, Superintendent of the Institution, who gave a talk describing the purpose and endeavors of those in charge of the institution. She cited to us a case history of one of the girls who have lately arrived.

This may be partly due to the fact that the probation workers have too many other things to do, and that there, is less money for people, to spend, consequently making it necessary for the parents to remain home with their children and provide better home life. The judges, also, maybe gettng more lenient in giving them "just one more chance". All the £irls.are sent from the juvenile courts.

In other cases the patient stands 16 or 20 feet in front of a spray and the apparatus alternately sprays hot and cold water upon the patient, The wards for men correspond, to the wards for the women. In one of the buildings , cases of syphilis are treated. As explained by the nurse, two methods are used; injections, which create malaria fever, and those which create typhoid fever. The temperature reaches 106 F. The patient is allowed to have ag many as 8 chills during the course. They are then allowed t,o return 10 normal temperature. Most patients are able to return home and resume their normal work of living in 6 mos. to a year later. Another treatment consists of using mattress with an ordinary electric insulated current running through it. The patient is wrapped in a cold wet blanket and then placed on the mattress. He is then wrapped with about 4 to 8 blankets. The current is turned on. When his tempreature reaches 106 F. the current is turned off and the mattress removed. As the patient cools he perspires and each blanket is removed as it becomes wet. When his temperature is normal he is put to bed, blankets and all. Every door and window in the institution is barred and locked. We next went through the work rooms. The beautiful designing and handwork of the women surprised us very much. The men make much of th materials such as chairs, drapes, brushes, and baskets used in the buildings. The veterans were making1 poppies. They were also unraveling old burlap sacks and then using old fashioned hand Ipoms to make rugs, curtains and dresser scarfs. The material is furnished by Auxiliaries, Salvation Armies, etc. Our guide informed us that in general the men are much quieter than the women and work harder. The hospital has farms, laundries, and gardens §0 that it is independent. At the presnet time there are approximately 4500 people at the institution, considerably larger than our city of McHenry. Our next stop was at the auditorium in one of the cottages. At this time, Dr. Shapiro, a physician on the staff, talked to us on "Mental Hygiene, Contributing Causes and Effects." One of the things with which we were most impressed was the fact that it is no more disgraceful to have a mental illness than to have* pneumonia. He also said that insanity is not a sickness but a symptom of some defect in the body or mind. Peopl are apt to become mentally ill due to art injury to some part of the brain or to some physiological changes in the body. It affects one sex as well as the other. Other types and causes are: Communicated--transmitted by association with insane people; de pressive--melancholia; hereditary-- transmitted from parents at child's birth; homicidal--marked by desire to destroy life; perceptional--that marked by illusions or hallucinations, periodic---that incurring at regular intervals. The doctor stated that heredity and environment play a large part in men tal stability. He also said that science has progressed so far in the method of treatment that it is no longer nec e&sary to have padded cells.and the other Ifcueeome things we have who haye committed some social crime , ville, suffered minor injuries Tuesday of last week when he ran in front of a car o,n Milwaukee t avenue in thg crossing in the middle " of the block We were conducted on a tour of |and the driver,' Victor Spriggs, of the grounds at the end of which we j Libertyville, was unable to see him were presented by a campus Gazette in time to avoid the &ccidei\t.

Due to the fact that we were becoming slightly-tired of walking, we left Mooseheart and started home. We arrived in McHenry about 7:30. I wish to thank the school and Mrs, Rulien for the very enjoyable and profitable day. RUTH KLINTWORTH PROBING THE . PAST -v:' By LEONARD A. BARRETT The word "if' has occupied no small place In our thinking during these depression years. We have frequently heard the expression, "if only I had not done this or that--if I had only waited and not been so hasty--if only the crash could have been p o s t poned a year or two I would have been in a better position to . meet it." The remorse, created by an endeavor to reconstruct the past, ould Lie entirely eliminated were It possible to erase from our vocabulary that little word "if." How foolish! Introspection is a valuable mental attitude providing we do, not let It lead ts to self-pity or remorse. A rehearsal of past motives and decisions should lead us to avdid repeating mistakes. Otherwise nothing Is gained by probing the past. When rehearsing a past decision we should have vividly In mind the conditionq In which that decision was made or act performed. The difficulty with most of us is that we divorce the consideration of these conditions from Our thinking when w® let that little word "If dominate our mood. Given the same conditions and the same exr perlences, the chances are that 95 times out of 100 we would do the same things again. "If I had only known" is a better way to look at it "If I had only known the market was going t) crash I would not have Invested in stock. If I had only known the bank was going to fail I would not have made my deposit In that particular bank." True--If we only knew In adijance, but we did not, and that Is the end of It. " If we could forget the "if" and put the same amount of mental energy Into the words pluck, valor, and courage, we would be better able to harness the resources that remain, and with more self-confidence and hope go forward, being sure not to commit the same mistakes again. What every person needs today is courage and self-confldence. These are attitudes of mind and heart which are self-creative and self-assertive.

Gerald Peachy, and James Nevin of, Woodstock both sustained fractured leg bones in an accident on Tuesday afternoon of last week when the bicycle on which they were riding collided with an automobile driven by Carl McBroom. James sustained fractures in both legs, near the ankle. Gerald fractured both bones of his right leg also near the ankle. The boys are patients at the hospital. Plans are well under way for a new milk factory to be located in Huntley, 111. The plant will be operated by a co-operative association where the producer wjll be able to market his fluid milk and dairy products including milk, cream, butter, cheese, ice" cream, condensed milk, and milk powder, will be sold by the pi%ducer through the co-operative, except what he saves for his home use. It is the aim of those farmers who are behind the movement to provide a ready market for all of their milk and cream products. The new factory will operate on the same plan as many are now operating successfully in Wisconsin communities. Stand of the 16 residents of Gurnee who refused to accept 35 cents an hour for work on the C. M. & St. P. railroad grade separation project at Gurnee and their demand for 50 cents an hour was given the support of union labor organizations in Lake county. While none of men involved are members of the laborers union it is understood that the issue will in all probability come before the Lake county Central Labor Trades council at its next meeting . The, Grayslake Fire department was called to the Charles Parker farm early Sunday morning of last week, and succeeded in extinguishing a fire, which for a time, threatened to entirely destroy the home. The fire was discovered by Mr. Parker, who was awakened by a flash of light, caused when the electric wires, in the fixture just over the bed became so hot that a fuse burned out. At first it was thought the blaze was just around the fixture, and Mr. Parker tried to put it out with a pail of water. Mrs. Parker ran upstairs to rouse the hired man and other members Of the family, and discovered that the fire was burning in the upper room, and between the floor and ceiling. As a result of an automobile accident about 6, o'clock Saturday night, of last week, Edward H. Friend, mail carrier from the Woodstock postoffice, suffered .painful bruises and injury to his back. Mr. Friend was on his way in his car, to the McBroom place for some milk and was crowded off the road by two cars. His car turned over several times.
