OHIO. "Chairs should be as personal as your clothing." And with that statement, Dr. J. R. Garner, of Atlanta. Ga., points the way to an additional theory of his which Is that unless you have such a personal chair as suggested, your brain cannot and will not stay clear. Speaking to the southern medical association in convention here, Dr. Garner said chairs should fit for proper sitting, and if one doesn't ait right some surprising things-men-tal, physical and psychological may happen. In this personal chair your rear will extend out back a bit to prevent coccyxosis. This refers to your coccyx, a pair of bones shaped like stubby stilts, Just at the base of your spine. They aren't real sitting bones, but lots of people use them for that, said Dr. Garner. This puts an extra strain on the end of the spine. A properly designed chair bottom will also do the work of the rear overhang. The chair back needs a slightly curving area to press forward into the curve of your spine. Keeping that curve in position tends to reduce pot shaped corporosities. The chair seat should not be long enough to press against the back of your knees. That puts the feet to sleep. Your blood pressure goes up, said Dr. Garner, when you sit with tht familiar forward slouch.

Dr. Schindler has this to say ol the disease: 1. Emotions can bring on an 111. ness, just like the emotion of anger can bring on a trembling of the limbs. Really Gets Sick 2. Unless a person can escape from a tense state of mind at times, he gets sick. 3. When he does, the sickness Is just as real, hurts just as much, and is just as serious as any illness brought on by germ or virus. 4. But, the illness can be cured and a repetition avoided, by following a few simple rules. Being a comfortable, Informal sort of man, Dr. Schindler put those thoughts In a comfortable, Informal sort of language. estimate that hall Physicians the sick people are suffering from psychosomatic illness.

In a government research laboratory established here In 1946, these modern alchemists ar utm. gling to produce "black gold" or oil from the states tons of coal reserves. This supply has been estimated by the bureau of mines to be the largest in the nation. Concerned over the rapidly diminishing oil reserves, congress passed the synthetic fuel act In 1944 which authorized the bureau of mines to conduct research and operate demonstration plants to solve the problem. According to the bureau of mines, there are two main processes for the direct production of synthetic liquid fuels from coal. These are the hydrocenation rrn- cess and the gas synthesis process. tsotn are German developments and are said to be directlv rpsnnn. sible for carrying' Hitler through five years of war in the of natural deposits. tVia Stripped to its essential coal hydroeenation rrnei moth. od Involves the forcing of hydro gen into tne complex coal molecules and removing oxvwn n tin chemical constitution Is changed to approximately that of petroleum.
