MENTAL RELIEF IN DREAMS
Averred by Scientists That They Act
az Sort of Safety Valve to
the Emotions.

A curious fact brought to light by
the study of dream psychology is that,
as n rule, the really great and pro-
found sorrows Of the day do not fol-
low us into the realm of sleep. In
our dream Of the night there Is al
ways some experience or thought Of
the day preceding which sets the
dream machinery going, 1t is true. 1t
may be something which has only in
cidentally been taken cognizance Of by
our waking consciousness and can only
be traced back by a minute and care
full analysis Of the dream. But, as
rule, the great sorrow and anxiety OF
the day does not mingle with the
dream emotions, say the scientists.
This Is explained on the theory that
our emotions with regard to our great
and real affiiction have been so ex-
hausted In our waking moments that
they have not strength enough left
to make themselves manifest amid the
thrOng Of other and ''less used up"
emotions, which come trooping from
their psychic lairs.
"How often" says Goethe, "have
fallen asleep in tears, and beautiful
forms and faces have come to give
me peace and comfort in my dreams"
The mystics seem to have realized
something Of this long before the SCI
entists discovered It; for they say
that no matter what our waking for
tunes may be, to dream Of beauty Is
a most favorable omen. 1t means for
the dreamer peace and plenty; sue
cess In his enterprise and the love OF
those dear to him. In this connection
may be mentioned the theory Of the
scientists that dreams are necessary
mental relief sort Of safety valve
to avoid the too high pressure OF
those unnumbered thoughts and emo
lions which have accumulated in the

seeking expression.

lually been due to local factions.
During the war, road building of a
general nature was practically sus-
pended and little progress was made
in any of the States. At the 1919 SEES
sion of the Missouri Legislature, our
road law was amended and the new
law went into effect in March; so that
it has been in force less than a year.
In that time, however, the State High
way board has approved projects for
nearly one thousand miles of road,
the cost of construction of which is es-
timated at nearly $13,000,000 and on
which Federal aid is being extended to
the extent of over five million dollars.
There are now pending before the
Board applications for Federal aid
projects estimated to cost about $5,-
100000 and on which Federal aid will
amount to $2,500,O00.
The Federal aid available for Mis-
souri, during the period 1919, 1920 and
1921 will soon be exhausted. / do not
mean that the money will have been
spent by that time, but it will all be
allotted to the various counties and
subdivisions that apply for Federal
aid on particular projects. Unfortun-
ately, under the provisions of the
amendments to our law, known as the
"McCullough-Morgan Law" all of our
State road fund and large proper
ton of the Federal aid due this State
is distributed at the rate of 100000 to
each county in the State.
This must be used under State and
Federal supervision in constructing
State roads without cost to the county.
Counties are entitled to this expendi-
ture regardless of whether they have
money of their own to match with the
State in building State highways. Of,
course, this money has been set aside
and cannot be used except for the
purpose described in the law.
This has brought the State to sit
uation that was prophesied by the OPP
ponents of the McCulloug- Morgan
Bill. Many progressive counties that
are now voting to tax themselves and
issue bonds will be unable to secure
Federal aid on their State highways,
while other backward counties that
are content with obsolete, dirt roads
will be perfectly satisfied with their
allotment of 100000 under the McCul-
lough- Morgan bill. This is not only
discouraging to these progressive
counties, but is contrary to the theory
of Federal and State aid.
