DETROIT 9, CHICAGO a

Chicago. Aug. 13.-Chicago dropped back
into third place today when they were
defeated 9 to in the final game of the
series with Detroit while Cleveland won
from st. Louis.
The Tigers punched hits or Scott, Will
liams and Russell, and this assault,
coupled with two costly errors by Terry
and J. Collins. gave them the game.
Chicago had several opportunities to
score but failed to do so on account Of
poor base running. Four times they lost
runs through poor work on the bases.
Cobb started two double plays which re-
tired the side. and veach started a play
from deep left which checked a rally.
The other double play caught Jackson at
the plate when he tried to score from sec.
ond on an infield out.

Boston won s.. lost a: per cent. .ss5.
Cleveland won 81. lost 4s: per cent. $50.

Battle For Fact World and Dream World Is
Responsible For Much I11saity-F reudia11 Theory

There are hundreds Of different
ways in which suppression desires
break through into our conscious
lives. We have seen that they break
through in the form of dreams, and
in the form of nervous symptoms Of
various kinds.
But even more mysterious things
sometimes occur. 1t may happen,
for instance. that the desire and in
terests which one refuses to ac-
knowledge are actually as large and
STRING a part of ones nature as the
conscious personality.
In that case these suppressed in
terests build up another personality
of their own in the unconscious mind,
and that personality lives life Of
imaginary experience or "phantasy,"
as Freud call it, down there in the
unconscious, which absorbs more of
the life-energy of the patient than
his real experience in the external
world.
These phantasies gradually crowd
up into his conscious mind, and be-
gin to seem real, while the external
world grows more and more unreal,
and this gives rise to various kinds
OF insanity.
Insane people are always fulfilling
suppressed desires in an imaginary
world, which has grown to seem
more real to them than the world
which would not let them fulfill these
desires.
That is, in brief form, Sigmund
Freud's explanation of functional in
sanity" Ii. E., insanity which does
not arise from an actual degeneration
of the brain matter.)
But sometimes it happens that this
suppressed personality, instead of
indulging in dreams, actually becomes
strong enough to come out and take
possession of a persons body, and
drive out, for time, the personality
that originally controlled it.
This is what happened to a patient
of DR.. Morton Prince in Boston, and
the story of her disease of "alternat-
| ing personality" and its cure is one
of the most unique and amazing
stories in the whole history of medi-
cine.
This patient had four different
personalities which would take pos
session of her body at different times.
Two of these were more pronounced
than the others, one being a devil
may-care tomboy and the other a very
pious, demure and sanity person. And
these persons were separated from
each other by complete loss of mem
DRY. They did not know each other
except as they were told of each 9th
er by outsiders.

PREPAREDNESS WORTH ss55,Oooooo

With the adoption of the army apPropr1-
anon bill last week the senate passed the
last of the great preparedness measures,
more than doubling the expense of main
tenance of the military and naval estab-
lishrnents as compared with the fiscal year
1916, heretofore the highest in the nation $
history.
The preparedness bills, as passed by the
senate, are as follows:
Navy S315, 100000; army, 1913, 100000;
fortihcations, s25,ooOooo; military acad-
envy, 81 ,O09, 813; total, 1888, 751,088.
The extreme to which congress has gone
is shown by the comparative items of 1916
appropriation, all voted by congress six
months after the European war was under
way, as follows:
Navy, $149, 661 864; army, S101, 959, 1876;
Notifications, $6,O60,216; military acad-
envy, 81 ,0O9, 813; total, $253, Isl, 088.
Thus it will be seen that the navy ap-
preparation is more than double while the
army cost is tripled and that of coast for
tihcations quadrupled

MUST HAVE A DEMONSTRATES.

Speaking about the $500 appropriated by
the Jackson county commissioners towards
the farm denonstrators salary, the Mar
ianna Times7Courier says:
This approp ration should be worth more to
the county tina any other item in the budget"
Certainly no other item could be more
important. The sooner our people learn
that farming is a science and not a slap
dash mixture of chance and ignorance, the
better it will be for them. Even in the sue
cessful agricultural regions of the north
and west there are agricultural teachers,
for something new is being learned about
farming every day; how much more
necessary are teachers in this timber and
turpentine region, where hardly the ABB
C's of farming are yet known!
Escanbia county must keep the pace set
by the rest of West FLORIDA, and we hope to
see Escambia county give official recogni-
ton, through salary appropriation, to a
farm denonstrator next year.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

No starving babies, no frantic cities per-
lshlng for lack of food, will result if 400 900
railroad men strike
If the railroad managers are counting
on public opinion, aroused by starvation
conditions, to force the men back to work.
they will be mistaken.
Railroad men engaged in passenger
traffic are not involved in the present CON
troversy, and the best information is thew
will not strike.
Milk, express and mail go on cars at
tached to passenger trains, and these
classes of traffic will not be interfered
with.
Mail trains, it is believed. will run as
usual, And sufficient farm produce can be
transported by express to take care tenn
porarily of the food question in the cities.
If men are wise enough to see that the
public is not Inconvenience more than is

time they cause large loss to the roads.
public opinion is expected to win the strike

DEATH SHIP IN THE SKY.
> AAAA%~A%~A~~~%

Like the mirage of tropical island
the dirigible hung motionless in space
for breathless minute. There was
a wavering pinpricK of light in the
carriage suspended from the levia-
than's belly-a light that f1uttered
fore and aft as of man with fairy
lantern running to and fro giving
orders or taking them. Then faint
ly discernible against the sky, like a
rope hung down for anchorage, came
a thin, gray streak-the tail Of A
bomb with all hell in its wake. From
somewhere near the towns center the
earth split and roared apart. The
world reeled and a brain-shattering
crash compounded of all the elements
of pain and hurled from the shoulders
of thousand thunderclaps smote the
senses. It was a blast of sickening
and malignant fury. It did Lot so
much stun as it stopped one-stopped
the breath and the hearts beat, sus-
pending thought, hating life itself for
a fraction of time. One was, some
how, aware of existence but without
sensation. And then came reaction
and the realization of what was really
taking place. The Germans bomb
landed fully ten blocks away, but you
would have taken oath in court that it
had fallen at your feet, behind you,
above you and into your very brain.
More terrible than the first explo-
sion was, or seemed, this second one.
1t moved down half hundred Shrek
ing souls. And it was curious to note
the lateral action of the blast when
it hit a resisting surface. Dynamite
explodes with a downward or upward
force, lyddite and nitro-glycerine and
what not other devils own powers act
more or less in the same set manner,
But the furious ingredients of these
bombs hurled on Walthamstow con-
! tanned stuff that released a discharge
which swept all things from it hori-
[ zontally, in a quarter-mile, lightning
sweep, like a scythe of flame. A solid
block of shabby villas was laid out as
flat as your palm by the explosion Of
this second bomb. Scarcely brick
