cerned Over the Outcome

Medical Officers,’ Reserve Corps has
found out what matrimony is good
for.
It is good for shell shock.
“Married men in the trenches stand
shell shock much better than the un-
married,” Capt. McCurdy announced
in a lecture before the Massachusetts
Society for Mental Hygiene, and as
the medical officer has had long ex-
perience in cases of shell shock in
European war hospitals, his assertion
will have to be taken seriously.
Still,, I thought nobody in New
York would agree with him. I hesi-
tated even about asking any learned
physician if there might possbly be
something in Dr. McCurdy’s theory.
I was sure any scientist I called up
would put on his
manner and .ask me if 1 really
thought it proper to put such a silly
question to a serious man.
Still, I had to do It.
And I thought that if I just had to
be rebuked by a solemn authority it
might as well be by a good one.
So I put my question to Dr. Smith
Ely Jelliffe of No. 64 West 56th
street, a famous neurologist and ro-
riage License Bureau after the dec-
laration of war last April, for they
may not Save been getting married
to claim exemption but as a prepara-
tion for shell shock. If a marriage
certificate is really an insurance
policy against nervous shock it is a
wonder that any man will consent to
go into battle In the defenseless state
of bachelorhood.
At first thought, the picture of
marriage as a sort of kindergarten
preparation for war Is not very
pretty. It looks as if men who
have broved its perils are steeled for
the worst. But that, apparently, is
not what the neurologists mean. On
the contrary, they indicate that mar-
riage has such a sauve and benign
most hoity-toity j effects on the male nervous system
that It enables men to endure all
the horrors of shell shock.
I believe they are right.
At the same time I can’t accept Dr.
Jellife's view of matrimony as some-
thing to be faced. In marriage a
man assumes a single responsibility
—that of support. But making
money is easy enough for persons
who are used to it. Making a home

There Is every reason why a mar-
ried man should stand shell shock
better than a bachelor,” Dr. Jelliffe
answered. "The man who has faced
matrimony is ready for anything else.

man Is a more social being than the
voluntary unmarried man. Of course,

business.
The neurologists do not state
whether or not matrimony would
protect women from shell shock.

McAdoo declared he opposed fixing
any time limit. Southern democrats
and several republicans, however, in-
dicated their approval.
Mr. McAdoo repeated in substance
before the committee the statement
made by him several days ago. to the
effect that the railroads can never re-
turn to the conditions of private man-
agement under which they were op-
erated before the war.
McAdoo .Makes Forecast.
"Indeizd I think it altogether likely
that if the railroads are well managed
and show a profit under government
operation, and we were forced to de-
cide within a year whether the prop-
erties should go hack to their own-
ers or not, the American people would
probably demand that tne roads be
not returned.
“Over and above the matters now
before congress,” said McAdoo, “we
must raise $10,000,000,000 between
now and June. Our savings banks,
investment houses and other fidicuary
institutions have about $4,00,000,000 in
railroad securities.
