LONDON, May 24-Curing nerve
shattered soldiers through their

cording to Captain M. Culpin. 1t Is

IN the method l adopt" DR.. Culpin
says, 1.-The patient relat es the dream
to me. l question him about it and ii
the underlying memory is not deeply
blurred this questioning may recall it,
and it is only necessary to insist upon
the man talking about the incident.
Next / make the patient close his
eyes and visualize the dream, and
try to ascertain what particular fea-
ture causes emotion. BY dwelling on
this feature I induce an emotional
state and assure him that he felt like
that before and that memory is COM
ing up.
when success is attained there is
a sudden change of facial expression
or even an access of terror. By this
/ know / have reached the true cause
OF the dream. The merest scrap Of
a dream suffices.

Planes Used To Detect

LONDON, May "a Sweeping up
the thousands of mines which strew

North Sea, 1t is announced, have been
successful, mines being located and ex-
ploded much quicker than when the
usual mine-sweeping ship is used
While the airship has the advantage
of height in locating mines, the mere
fact that an airship cannot hit mine
adds so much to the elements of safe

Chicken Thieves Show
Preference For Hens

Chicken thieves operating around

AS hens are worth more than roost-

several owners north and northwest
of Richmond, visited by thieves in the
last few weeks, have lost nothing but
hens, according to Ratliff.

with the warnings that have been CIV
en-, no excuse should be needed after
June /"
After that date. therefore, the po-
lice have been instructed to. arrest in
every instance of violation. To be
brought before me on this charge will
be considerably more expensive than
to replace a license plate or lay your
car up for a day or SO while making
repairs, so take warning. and be sure
your car has both licenses, and the
lights called for by law"
