Modern psychology recognizes
that fear is one OF the most destruc.
tive agencies at work In the world
Of men, Also II recognizes that Sc
cret fear is OF all forms Of fear the
most destructive.
BY secret fear II meant fear
which Is known to no one but the
person tormented by H. Instead OF
being confded to others, II Is held
locked tight In its victims mind.
Almost anything may become the
cause Of secret fear. More espe-
ciaIiy secret fear is felt with regard
TO various diseases.
Without exaggeration II may be
said that there are thousands OF
people walking the streets of our
cities today who are tortured by
secret fears as to their mental or
physical health.
Many have . secret fear Of insan-
ity. They think that because some
relative has become insane there In
a family taint which Is certain soon
or late TO show itself in them like
wise.
All day. throughout their waking
hours. they are tortured By this
haunting dread. Even when asleep
ii makes its presence felt, giving
rise TO distressing dreams.
Other people have . secret fear
OF cancer. They know that in the
family deaths from cancer have oc.
CURED. They believe cancer Is in
heritable. Therefore they readily
convince themselves that they too
will some day have cancer.
Once this fear grips them. they
spend their days. like the victims
OF fear OF insanity, In an agony OF
apprehension. They do not reason
about the matter. They are panic
enslayed

Not cold in death, as custom is;

His calling as a scribe he plies;
And in pursuit of it
Upon the battlefield he lies.

PAID THE PRICE OF PEACE
First Thought That Should inspire
Americans on Each Memorial
Day Anniversary.

II Memorial day emphasizes to the
American people one fact more than
any other, 1t is that the price Of peace
is human life. Fifty years have passed
since Grant and Lee met at Appomat-
tox, during which period war debt of
billions has been practically paid. q
ravaged country wholly rehabilitated.
industry and commerce developed. and
wonderful achievements made in the
arts and sciences, all accomplished at
tremendous cost. Yet today the mil
lions paid, the tremendous effort put
forth, the great burdens then assumed.
count for less than the loss to the ma
tion in human life. Today, North and
South. only men. brave men, are
mourned as their graves are strewn
with flowers.
II sometimes seems that, in the rush
and roar OF life, even the price Of peace
has been paid without regret. But
life 10 dissimulation. In hundreds Of
thousands of homes there are faded
portraits. tattered uniforms, little re-
minders Of . thousand sorts which In
. quiet hour are again and again bap-
tized in tears, ~ they suggest Per.
sonaf loss, blasted hopes. destroyed
happiness. and still. these but quicken
memories that are ever with those
who really paid the price. Just ~ tho
ceremonies and exercises today bring
back more vividly the partings, the
anxious days. the terrible news Of 30
years ago. In the very words ME
mortal day" there II q wealth Of mean
ing to some which those Of the present
generation cannot understand ~ fully
~ they should, to appreciate the sig
niflcance of observance Of the day.
And yet, those Of the present gener-
alton have only to look across the At
lantic, and contemplate the carnage
and destruction there, to gain better
appreciation Of the price paid by this
nation before they were born. Figures
tell something, but hearts tell more
broken hearts which time cannot heal.
Lot imagination touch the sorrows of
the countless widows and orphans this
great war has made, let 1t reckon the
prospects Of life dashed to ground,
yes. buried beneath blood-soaked sod,
and there will come some conception
of 80 years ago In this country, and Of
the significance Of Memorial day ded-
icated to the men who fought and
died; constituted the real price Of the
peace this country has enjoyed for
half . century.

%HE rain fell steadily ON the

The grnyes Of the two soldiers were
almost side BY side rather less than
four feet apart. only the soft turf
and the sagging chain between.
This very proximity Of the graves
was another drop In Sarah Lewis
bitter cup. Once an ambitious perl
winkle had crept from Asa Lynn.s
grave under the chain and had pro-
ceeded to establish itself directly over
the resting place OF the other soldier.
Mary Lynn and her daughter had
discovered It and had left 1t untouched.
When Sarah discovered It she tore it
ruthleasly up by the roots and flung
It contemptuously into the adjoining
lot.
So, IN Ike manner. she had repelled
all the gentle advances Of Mary Lynn

liberal display Of the national colors

But Asa Lynn's grave was bare save
for its green covering of turf and the
