ditions worse. This columnist feels that if inferiority were the standard, it would be found that there are far too many inferiors already married, and irresponsibly spawning a massive progeny, the load of which the country is barely able to support. As for taxes, bachelors are already taxed beyond fair measure in having to pay the costs of other people's children. Having children can be a beautiful thing, but the man who wants the pleasure should be willing and able to pay the cost, and not expect (except in cases of emergency) other people to pay for the results of his profligacy another column, Dr. P., answering a reader who was having trouble finding a man, and had been told she was too masculine, informed her that every human has some masculine and some feminine traits, and listed for her benefit the supposed traits of masculinity and femininity (taken from a book by psychoanalyst David Abrahamson) told her if she scored less than 80, "then you're no lady!" He offered to send her a reprint called "Eight Cures for Man-Haters" (which didn't seem to have been her problem at all) with the assurance it would help her. We sent for the reprint, since we certainly wouldn't want to allow ourselves to become manhaters, and found it to be a foolish little leaflet, accompanied by several advertisements for other booklets containing flatulent advice to the lovelorn. . .

indicated that both sex deviation and obesity may at times be caused by damage to the rhinecephalon nerve-the olfactory portion of the brain-with damage of one part of the rhinecephalon seeming to cause sexually deviant behavior in lab animals, and damage to another part causing extreme obesity or epileptic seizures. Dr. Green cautioned that it was not known as yet if a similar relationship between abnormal behavior and brain damage existed in humans. Certainly any hasty conclusion based on so limited a study would be unwarranted, since there have been a great many studies that have indicated quite a variety of possible. physical causative factors that might determine homosexual behavior, and further investigation almost always has knocked these theories down. . . .
At a law enforcement conference in Manhattan recently, New York City Chief Magistrate John M. Murtagh said the basic cure for sex deviancy lies in the home, the church and in the education of the individual and stressed the need for spiritual counselling "since homosexuality is mainly a moral problem." Dr. Ralph Banay, medical director of the youth institute, warned that homosexuality often leads to more violent crimes, and pointed to the "urgency and necessity" of establishing clinics where homosexuals can be treated individually or in groups and said therapy should be made compulsory for homosexuals as soon as their condition is known by proper authorities. (Buchenwald, here we come.) Lt. Shea of the Police Academy said perversion was brought out by alcohol and pornography.. Aren't authorities wonderful, they know so much. . . .
