Shame Makes One Foroet.

Forgetting is strange phenomenon
According to the modern psychologists,
we are most apt to forget those things
that we do not want to remember-es-
pecially those of which we are
ashamed.
In an address on criminals who are
on the border line Of insanity, deliv-
cred recently before the Clinical So
ciety of st. Elizabeth's Hospital, Wash
ington, DR.. Leon Emile Duval told Of
many mentally unbalanced men who in
their normal state could not remember
disgraceful deeds they had done, and
said this was to be explained on the
basis that "it is the thing of which we
are ashamed and which conflicts with
the customs of society which is soonest
relegated to the realm of the uncon-
scious."
