FEAR AS A DISEASE.

Fear as disease had not received
serious attention until recent years.
Now it is recognized by the medical
profession that there is whole list of
phobias, as they are called, which are
quite distinct from a normal and legit-
innate condition of fear due to some
natural cause.
Thus there is, the fear of open or
closed places, says the Medical Rec,
ord, fear of high places, fear of men or
women, fear Of crowds and of solk
tudes, fear of animals, fear of insects,
fear of darkness, fear of accidents,
fear of fire, fear of travel and in fact
fear of anything.
The intellect in these cases is not
only undisturbed but may be unusual
ly good. Patients exhibit throughout
a pronounced feeling of mental illness
and frequently a clear insight into the
morbidity of the individual symptoms
The more common of the various
phcbias as classified by Beard are as
follows, Clausrophobia, fear Of mar
row or closed places; agoraphobia
fear Of open places astraphobia, feal
Of lightning monophobia, fear of be
inf alone; pathophobia, fear Of dis

LOUISIANA WILL
DICTATE Terms

NEW ORLEANS, September 90
Louisiana has usurped the centre of
the States, as far as the sugar market
is concerned, in the opinion of the
sugar interests here, because of the
shortage of the 1911 worlds sugar
crop.
Four prominent commission dealers
and planters are now in New York,
and are said to be in a position to
dictate to the so-called Sugar Trust
as to the price of this years crop in
this State.
The 1911 crop of Louisiana sugar, ia
estimated at 100000 tons, about $4,000
tons more than the crop of last year
and if disposed of at the present mar
ket level would represent a gain OF
about $17,5OO,OoO, as compared with
last years prices.
The four men are said to contro
the sale of about 100000 tons.

THE FIRST week
OF STAR CONTEST

Mr.. George f. Henshall, manager
of the big contest of the Hawaiian
Star, is now on Maui and will likely
arrive home by the Claudine Wednes-
day morning. He left Hilo last Fri
day and reached Wailuku Saturday.
On Hawaii The Stars contest idea
was well received. The ground work
of the campaign was well laid by Mr..
Henshall, and the applications of 4
large number of candidates for the
contest We're received. As in Homo
lulu, all nationalites are interesting
themselves in the campaign, and the
contest on Hawaii promises to be
quite the largest affair of it's kind
ever attracting the attention of the
Big Islanders.
1t was not possible for Mr. Henshall
to visit the west side of Hawaii. but
this trip may be made later on. Peo-
pie Of the Kohalas, Hamakua the
Konas and Kau are alive to the con-
test, however, and will "be there" with
the rest of them when the time comes.
Applications to enter the contest
have been received from Maui, ahead
of the tour of Mr. Henshall. These
have been filed and will be taken up
by the contest manager upon his re-
turn to the city Applications have
also been received from the island of
Kauai, and will be formally acknowl-
edged at the same time. 1t is prob.
ably we'll understood by the large num-
Der of Honolulu applicants that their
names have been carefully listed, to
await the return of the contest chief.
All thus far received, however, have
been approved, and the applicants will
receive their certificates in ample time
to begin work
A misunderstanding.
There seems to be some idea on the
other islands that contestants will be
limited to their own respective islands
in accepting subscriptions. Such will
not be the case. Contestants may ac-
cept subscriptions from any other
island or any other part of the world,
if the opportunity occurs. 1t may be
the case that a contestant has friends
on the mainland or elsewhere. Write
to that friend, or those friends, and
tell all about the contest and your
wishes. 1t will be perfectly in order
for a contestant on the other islands
to enlist his or her friends in Homo
lulu, and for a Honolulu contestant to
secure all the support he or she can
on the other islands.

ease; mysophobia, fear of containing
ton; interchangeable, fear Of rail
road travel; acrophobia, fear Of being
at height or looking over precipices;
thanatophobia, fear of death.
1t is to be emphasized that the pho
bias in question are not formal fears,
based. as normal or natural fears are,
on some reasonable iustifying expert
ence. A reasonable and iustifiable nor
NAL fear Of lightning might arise aft
er the experience of having been at
some time in house struck by light
ming.
Other fears, such as the fear of rid,
ing in a buggy after having been in a
runaway, or the fear of a voyage at
/ sea or railway after a frightful ship
wreck or railway accident, is a more
or less natural or reasonable fear, ms
the fear of hoodoos and ghosts is
among the superstitious or those ac
customed to ghost stories and tradi
ton of goblin visitation, etc.
These fears do not require a warp
ed brain for their Judgment, though
the weakened brain may be more
wildly impressed by them. To be re
garded as symptoms of disease these
fears must be groundless so far as in
cerned. They must proceed from {
morbid state of the brain and no
from properly exciting external causes
They must be fears peculiar to the in
dividual under peculiar circumstances

week Of the contest preliminaries.
The first week was a big success. In
it the contest proposition was spread
almost broadcast throughout the city
and all of the islands. Every man,
woman and child able to read English
was probably given the chance to
learn something about the contest.
And the results showed that they not
only read but needed. The entry list
for the week is more than satisfac-
tory. 1t is splendid. 1t is made up of
names which any first-class newspaper
would be pleased to have on a contest
roll. This augurs well for the cam
paign. It means big things and a
most satisfactory outcome all around.
The present week will almost GER
tainly show even larger and, if posi-
BILE, more satisfactory results. The
time is drawing near for the list to
close, and the contest to begin. Those
who have felt that there was "time
enough" will probably enroll this
week, and by next Monday the little
army of prospective victors should be
pretty well aligned for the field of ac-
tivity.

decorative quality, that puts an article in style, especially as regards
masculine wearing apparel. Nevertheless, we may note that the
hat IN question has the Endorsement on at least two counts of
hcadgesr authorities in England, where our models in this line
come from.
A New York hat store, a q boost for this revival, displays a
picture taken at the time Of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition,

of his respectabilty-its appearance was cheerful"
Straw hats, the medico goes on to say, are too ephemeral. The
soft Panama is all right in its way, but it is expensive, and from
the medical viewpoint it has a drawback-that is, its tight inside band.
Whatever type of hat is worn, the lining should be soft and elastic,
so that there is no construction anywhere around the fevered brow.
The Panama lid violates this principle, because its broad brim and
large surface of attack offers an aeroplane spread Of wing to any
gust that may be stirring, therefore it has to fit tight to the
forehead. There is not enough air space in the crown above the
lead, either.
In short, the tall white hat Of our forcfathers has virtues which
our up-to-date tiles lack, and is at once sportive and dignifed. King
George Of England is liable to wear one any day. and then it will
