was described by Dr. Niguel Busta-

ond Pan-American Conference of Di-
rectors of HeaJth at Washington.
~The village is Tiltepec, in the state
of Oaxaca, Mexico. Hidden away in
the mountains, it is reached only by
a few horse trails. The malady
which blinded the inhabitants is
known in the medical world as on-
chocercocis.
Tests have shown, Dr. Bustamente
said in his speech, that an insect is
the cause of the blindness. Eradication
of this insect, he added, has given

__hhope in“the fight on the malady, of
f which little is known. There are 20,-
000 such cases in Mexico.

For Mental Health
| In Canada

(By John Burke Ingram)

If all the insane people of Canada
jwere brought together in one place

Increased Facilities For Care Of Sub-
normal People Is Urgently
Needed

recently compiled figures, there are
29,529 patients in Canada’s mental
hospitals. These figures include, of
course, those suffering from mental
diseases. Year by year their num-
bers increase. The Canadian people
jhave invested nearly $75,000,000 in
buildings and equipment, and spend
about $10,000,000 each year in main-
tenance costs. In every province
the hospitals are crowded to capacity;
and it is safe to say that there are as
Many persons attempting to carry on
in the community who are in need of
treatment as there are in the hospi-
tals at present. There is a crying
need in Canada for the establishment
of psychopathic hospitals and out-
patient clinics to deal with these
cases before they become chronic and
beyond hope of improvement.

| “Many people are more or less
| familiar with insanity, but compara-
| tively few realize the difference be-
| tween the insane and those persons
who are known as mental deficients.
A sufficient definition for the present
purpose is that insanity may be term-
ed a “prolonged departure from the
individual’s normal standard of
thinking, feeling and acting; while a
mental deficient is a person whose
mind, through hereditary causes, or
through pre-natal or infantile misad-

ly.”

Mental deficients, or defectives, |
range in intelligence from the idiots
and imbeciles, familiar to all, to the
more nearly normal morons, or feeble-
minded persons whose presence in the
community is not so readily detect-
ed. ¢ /

These latter are the great social
misfits. They contribute out of all
numerical proportion to pauperism,

y, cri , pr y
and illegitimacy. As children they
are “backward.” They are ‘ow in

learning to walk and to talk; in
school they are from two to four
years behind other children of the
same age. Shamed of their non-pro-
gress, they eventually drop out of
school and go into the world unequip-
ped to meet the demands to be made
upon them as citizens and as parents.

erally realized that they are not re-

Thanks to the efforts of the Cana-|
dian National Committee for Mental |
Hygiene, pioneer work is being suc- |
cessfully done towards educating |
mentally deficient children at a suffi-|
ciently early age to permit them to}
be trained to a certain facility in one
of a number of handicrafts in the |
hope that they may become self-sup-
porting in their adulthood. It is sur-
prising to learn that many children
who might never do more than learn
to sign their names and do simple
addition and subtraction can be so
trained.

The Canadian National Committee
for Mental Hygiene, having no other
excuse for its existence and no ulter-|
jor end to serve, has taken upon it-
self the task of bringing home to the
people of Canada a realization of the
supreme importance of mental health,
with the hope that through public de-
mand governments will be stimulated
to provide-these increased facilities
that are now so badly needed.

A Magic Soap

How the Fairy Queen’s Christening
Gift Was Found

Once upon a time the Fairy Queen
was asked to be God-Mother to a
very important Baby Princess and
wanted an especially nice Christen-
ing Gift. So she sent her five clever-
est Elves to fly all over the world in
search of wonderful scents and rare
perfumes and rich oils for a magic
soap that would make the Baby

Well the first Elf flew to France,

and Algeria, and Bulgaria, where the
loveliest roses grew, and asked them
to give their pretty frocks for the
Magic Soap. And the roses showered
their sweet petals into a big sack the
Elf had brought with her, all ready
to be scrunched up and give a lovely
perfume.
The second Elf flew to Africa, and
there she made friends with the
king’s daughter, who gave her cloves
and Vevivert—that is a scented root
—rather like our sweet grass.

And the third Elf went to India,
and found Patchouli—a plant whose
leaves smell something like mint, and
the pretty yellow wood of the sandal-
wood tree, which is very fragrant.

But the fourth Elf had the most
dangerous time, for she daringly flew
to an island near Italy called Messina,
where there lived some fierce fruit
called Bergamots who were very
nasty and disagreeable, but who
nevertheless wore exquisitely per-
fumed coats. The Elf crept up when
the whole treefull were asleep and
snipped off a bit of their coats here
and there where it would not be
missed—and was just tiptoeing away
when a big fat Bergamot awoke and
with a great yell prepared to fall on
her and crush her. But the Elf called
to the Flower Fairies to help her,
and they seized her quickly and hid
her beneath a toad-stool till the Ber-
gamots had gone to asleep again when
she scampered off home with her
treasure,

On her way she met the fifth Elf
who had clear golden cocoanut oil
from Cochin China, and sticky scent-
ed gums from the East Indies.

A Destructive Epid

Depression Made Worse By People

5 Who Are Afraid

No medicine can cure fear, yet it
is a destructive epidemic. Moreover,
the most potent cause of the present
depression is the fear which has taken
possession of the minds of too many
of our people. Following the stock
market crash of about a year ago,
much talk about hard times was heard
and this talk inspired fear in the
minds of the timid who immediately
ceased to spend their money for any-
thing except the barest necessities. In
the Pp

resulted in over-production. Over-

sugars valued by government chem-
ists at $50,000 a pound.

The Buerau of Standards in an-
nouncing this discovery recently, said

made it ‘y for fac-

tories to close down or to curtail to a
serious extent, which threw more men
out of work, and this in turn in-
spired greater fear in the minds of
