the question Of how to keep rents
doWn to reasonable basis The ten
ant population is in desperate straits.
Tor rents have been going higher and
no END seems to be in sight. The
scramble for homes in the suburbs "a
so acute that when one woman moved,
some OF the furniture out Of her home
the other day in, order to clean the
mouse 70 persons tried to rent it from
her within few hours.
TO stop the profiteering in rents and
homes, several organizations are at.
tempting to unite on a program of
house building to continue for at least
SIX months, or until the shortage has
been relieved. These organizations in.
clude associations of tenants, trade
unions, representatives Of the building
trades and mortgaging companies.
They have been asked to undertake
this work by the department of public
welfare.
Meanwhile, camping ground accessi.
BILE by street cars is in great demand,
Tent manufacturers say more orders
have been placed for tents this month
than ever before in Philadelphia's his
tory.
There is an unprecedented amount
OF building Of cheap cottages and bum
galows within radius Of 30 miles Of
Philadelphia to accommodate the rush
of tenants that is expected when mild
weather comes. Those erected in one
community cost about $500 each and
are eagerly rented at $3.50 for the sea-
son.
Old canal-boats lying along the
Schuylkill river are being fitted out as
dwellings, and families are glad to rent
them as temporary homes.

FORMER GERMAN
LINERS MARKED
Crafts Which Once Flew the
Double Eagle Crippled by
PlotterS.
|MPERATOR IS ONE VICTIM
Giant Vessel Develops List at Sea-
Bombs Found or Washington
Moccasin Sunk and CaIIao
Disabled.

New York.-FOrmer German liners
and cargo ships, now being operated
under the United States flag, appear
to have become the objects Of sabotage
by Germans or "reds," who are de-
term1ned that the craft that formerly
HeW the double eagle shall not prove
OF great value to a nation that helped
to overthrow Germany. Great Britain
is said to be following similar clews.
some Of which indicate that the at
tacks on shipping may be the result
Of the spreal Of communism and soviet
teachings to the ranks Of the Interna-
tlonal Seamen's union, which controls
the men on the ships under the Ameri-
can and other allied flags.
The four most aggravated cases
which are being considered involve
three American vessels and the I'm
perator, which is flying the flag of the
Cunard line since she was turned over
to England by the United States. The
United States ships are George Wash
1ngton, on which President Wilson
Travelled to and from the peace con-
ference, and the cargo carriers Moe
casin and Callao.
Attempts to Damage Ships.
The Imperator, while on a trip to
Europe early in March, developed a
mysterious list while at sea, which her
officers and crew were unable to rem
edy. 1t is held to have been caused
by deliberate attempt to disable the
giant liner.
The Moccasin turned turtle in the
Erie basin several months ago. When
divers investigated they found her sea-
cocks had been opened and 50 tam
pered with that it was impossible to
close them. Several bombs were found
on the George Washington several
weeks ago just before she was sched-
uled to sail for Europe The Callao,
on her recent arrival at Rio de Janeiro,
was found in an unseaworthy condi-
ton as the result Of deliberate tamper-
ing with her machinery.

MODERN LIFE
CAUSE OF ILLS
Brings About InnumerabIe Neces-
sites for Adjustment
in Individual.
many CURED DURING WAR
Medical Expert on the Psychoses and
Neuroses Developed in Struggle
Chronic Worry Relieved After
Real Reason Is Found.

New York.-Fear and anxiety, twin
demons that make miserable so many
lives, have their origin in inward con-
f1ict and can only be conquered by
tracing the trouble to it's source, says
DR.. Frankwood E. Williams, associ-
ate medical director of the national
committee for mental hygiene, in the
current number of Mental Hygiene.
Complex community life brings
about innumerable necessities for ad-
justment in the individual, and failure
to make these adjustments with
measurable degree Of success is often
responsible for sO-called mental or
nervous ills, technically termed psy-
chooses or neuroses, according to Doc
tor Williams, who uses illustrations
from the recent war to make this
point clear.
Many Cured During the War.
During the war many men, finding
themselves in apparently intolerable
positions, sought unconscious refuge
in mental or nervous breakdowns By
tracing the history Of the conflict so
terminating the greater percentage of
the mer might have been sent back
to their commands completely re-
stored and ready to face whatever
might come. In fact, Doctor Williams
says, many men Of this type did re-
cover completely with the aid Of rest
and proper psychiatric treatment, and
fought bravely.
The measure of mans success in
handling life's problems, according to
the article, lies in his skill in adjust
ing himself to the complicated life Of
modern society. Some fail completely,
developing psychoses Of a more or
less serious nature, others are partly
successful, but the difficulties Of ad-
justment set up nervous disturbances
that render them neurotic, while the
majority succeed in making their 3D.
justments without too great difficulty.
Relieving Chronic Worry.
Even among those who are appar-
emily successful, however, thousands
are found who are annoyed by anx-
iety, who are "chronic workers." and
'AASoS
conflict which may be got at by the
use Of proper methods and relieved.
Doctor Williams says there may be
obvious reasons for anxiety or fear
and that these should not be over
looked, but that often the real reason
lies deep and must be carefully sought
after before relief can come.
1t is in these cases that the psy-
chiatrist finds his deepest interest and
his greatest chance to help. "Where
the reaction Is out Of all proportion to
reasonably assignable cause, or
where no reasonable cause may be
found, then expert guidance and help
are needed" says Doctor Williams
citing instances Of persons afraid to
ride in the subway, fearful Of being
alone, in comfortable, happy surround
ings and worrying. and crying with
out apparent cause.

An Ancient Rock.

Bloomington, Ind.-There are rocks
and rocks! Indiana university stu

great quantities, but rock-calloused as
they are, they have taken a special
interest just now in rock that makes

tuition. Biologists here say that it is
fairly old-a billion and half years,
approximately.

Maopies Attack Cattle,

Deadwood, S. D.-Reports from the

Bertig, Surprised
 at the Growth
 of Pine Bluff

"When I got off the train I wasn't sure I was at my destination, so great has been the improvement in Pine Bluff since I was here last"
 The speaker was A. Bertig, mer- chant and capitalist of Paragould, who came here yesterady to visit H. c. Couch, president of the Arkansas Light and Power company, of which Mr. Bertig is a director. Fifteen years had elapsed since MT. Bertig was in Pine Bluff, and he candidly confessed amazement at the growth of the city, and the evidence on every hand of prosperity and progress.
 "All of the town was up that way,' said MT. Berbig, indicating the section of the city north of Fourth avenue. "The Jefferson hotel had just been built, and many predicted it was too big for the town. Now, you have the Hotel Pires--one of the finest I've seen and it isn't too big for Pine Bluff. You certainly have grown"
 Mr. Bertig was located here for sev- eral years, and supplied the Cotton Belt with most of it's ties. He went nto business at Paragould after leav- ing Pine Bluff, and has become one of the most influential men in that section of the state.
