Psychology visiting here, Chicago is
the scene of hundreds OF panics daily
the modern city, in fact, is made up
OF elements strongly conducive to In
explicable actions outside the zone Of
reason and custom.
A striking example of city panics
occurs every time a suburban train
arrives at station. The English
psychologist thus relates the resulting
phenomenon:
After we had passed several sta
tions began to watch the passengers
and discovered that as the train drew
near the station at which they wished
to descend from the cars they in
varfably grew nervous and preoccu-
pied. Conversations which moment
before had flowed along with ease
seemed to halt and hesitate as the
train checked it's onward rush. Per-
sons buried in books and papers
actually seemed to feel the proximity
OF their destination although it was
minutes away. Books were closed,
papers folded and all preparations for
an instantaneous departure from the
train were made.
Then an extraordinary thing oc-
CURED. Instead of waiting further
these uneasy passengers arose and,
swaying back and forth recklessly,
made their way to the end of the car,
passed out. and went on through the
train C the rear end. where they
peered anxiously foIth as though
something whispered to them that the
train was about to be wrecked and |
that the sooner they left it the better.
Il was strangely interested and | |
also arose and followed them to the |
rear coach. There l found a line of
them reaching all down the aisle and
l took my station there and waited

AT last the first signs cs the sta
tion appeared and the line pushed
forward, making the situation of the
men on the platform perilous indeed.
/ saw then that there was to be
rush from the car. 1t seemed that
some great danger was at hand and
was only to be escaped by promptness
in leaving the train At last the en-.
gine flashed by the platform and the
brakes were applied strenuously. But
the men on the platform dared not
wait for the full STOP Ono after an
other they leaped from the speeding
train and more than one of them
came near pitching of the far side.

LOCKER CLUBS IN
DECIDING BATTLE
Test of New Ordinance Before
Judge PendIeton-Fate of
Four Clubs at Stake.

-Four Atlanta locker clubs-the Geor-
sia Athletic, Southern, Bees, and
knight sof the Mystic Ark-refused
permits by the city council brought
their test cases, attacking The validity
of the municipality new club ordi
nance. to trial before Superior Judge
PendIeton at o'clock today. Attor-
neys for the clubs and city Attorney
Mayson said that new points were in
volyed and the trial would not be con-
Guided before tomorrow
This action of the clubs is the third
phase of the fight to put the city's sue
cessive locker club ordinances out of
business. The first case, won in the
supreme court by the Union and Me-
chanics club killed the first ordinance
The court declared the city had no right
to tax a locker club under its charter.
The second case was won by the city
several days ago, when the supreme
court upheld Judge Pendleton in refus-
ing to enjoin the city from proceeding
against the Georgia Athletic club.
Subsequent to these cases, the city
obtained a charter amendment granting
the municipality increased power and
giving the city the right to tax locker
clubs.
Attorneys for the four dissenting
clubs said today that they would pin
their case on grounds of discrimination,
maintaining that the city council show
ed rank favoritism in licensing some
clubs and denying permits to others.
Along this line they have asked the
court to require all the Atlanta council
men to answer series of pertinent
questions, showing their relation with
various and sundry local clubs
The city attorney viii fight the case
on the old lines of police regulation.
