POSTWAR NERVE CASES
WORRYING BRITISH DOCTORS

London, April Is. - Postwar
nerves." alarningly on the increase,
are causing profound discussion
among members Of the British medi-
cal fraternity.
Men and women who before the
war were not aware that they possess
ed nerves are reporting to physicians
in. increasing numbers every month,
according to Harley street specialists.
The situation has become SO alarming
that the Ministry of Health has been
approached for assistance in efeeting
Ia popular cure.
"Agoraphobia" and Catastrophe
bia" are two legacies of the war that
are attracting increasing attention.
The trials Of war and the worries Of
peace have played havoc with the
nerves of thousands Of persons.
Men who went through the war
now talk about their nerves as their
great granfathers used to talk about
their gout, and women. who have
struggled for the past few years to
, make the weekly pay envelope go as
! far as it used to, knowing all the
while it is worth less than half, now
talk about their nerves instead of
their servants. They have given up
servants and suffer from their nerves
| instead.
@Agoraphobia" and Catastrophe
bia" are forms eff nerves the strangest
| forms knewn. The, former is the fear
! bf open spaces and the latter the fear
of confined spaces.
Nerve specialists are frankly wor-
led over the sudden spread Of these
! two complaints. Sufferers from Gag
oraphobia" may feel all right when
they are in street car or taxicab
but when they attempt to cross busy
street like Forty-seeond and Broad
way, New York, or State and Madison
!. streets in Chicago, sudden fear strikes
them and they are frankly afraid,
seizing deteur rather than venture
alone in the open. They look around
in terror for the nearest dugout and
run down subway entrance or take
refuge in a store.
A variation of this fear of open
spaces is the fear of high places.
There may be no daager, hut the
sense of height oxerWheltns the suff-
erer and the nerves. collapse.

Mr.. E. H. AuH,

Dear Sir:

student to take the engineering cours-
es. In the agricultural course stu
dent may specialize in one Of the sew
eral different phases of this subject.
1 wish especially to mention the

This is, we believe, one of our strong

The scholarships are worth $lOO
per session and free tuition which is
sac; additional. In: addition to the
regular four-yesr scholarships there
is one scholarship allotted to each
county in the one-year course in ag-
riculture. This Is a very intensive
course arranged especially for farmer
boys who have not the time nor the
money to spend four yearssin college.
The requirements for entrance into
this course. are based upon the com;
pletion of about seven or eight. grades
in school. The value of these schol-
arships is also 500 per session and
free tuition.
The examination questions for the
four-year scholarships will be in al
zebra, plane geometry, English
grammar, English composition and
rhetoric, and agrie1ltnfe: ~

formation regarding the holding of
the examinations will be sent to you

Remedy for Boil Weevil.

The Dillon Herald quotes w. ii.
Stanton, large farmer of that
county, as saying that lone of
the best ways to fight the boil
weevil is to plant cotton in five
foot rows and give it plenty of
sunshine. We did not hear much
OF the boil weevil in Dillon until
cotton got thick and the wet spell
came along. Then he began to
show up i'll armies. We had laid
by our cotton and the boil weeyil
had full swing because the most
OF us could not go back in with a
plOw even if there had been no
ram. | have negro with me
who has four acres of cotton
from which he will gather five
bales. His rows are five feet
apart. He worked his cotton lat te
and it is clean. The boil weevil
has attacked cotton Oh other
parts OF the place and is doing it
some damage, but he has not
made his appearance in the four
acre patch. y

Community ADVANCE
TO Be SUBJECT AT
fort wayne MEETING
nv Associated Press,

FORT WAYNE, Ind. April s.-An-
nouncement that the first state con-
ference in Indiana for discussion Of
community problems is to be held in
this city June % to 25, inclusive. was
made here today by the Fort Wayne
Community Service Council. Thous-
ands of persons. the announcement
said. will be asked to attend and the
outgrowth of the conference is ex-
pected to be a permanent statewide
organization of communities for re-
creational life and community ad-
vancement.
The community movement Is under
way in eleven other Indiana cities be-
sides Fort Wayne and representatives
of each is expected TO have an active
part in the June conference. These
cities are Elkhart, Terre Haute, Wa
bash, Marion, Connersvivlle, Logan
sport, Noblesvil1e, Laporte, Seymour,
Vincennes and Richmond.
Governor May Speak.
Governor McCray and others are to
be asked to be on the program of the
opening day. and part of the pro
gram will include the establishment
of an Allen county community service
association among farmers. On the
eve OF opening the conference it is
planned to hold home coming jubilee
which will bring together old friends
and former citizens of FIT. Wayne.
With the state conference as an
objective" said a statement issued
by the local community service council,
lit is hoped that community sentiment:
here will receive such additional i'm
petus that by the time of the confer
ence the twenty existing neighborhood
associations comprising $4,000 people
will have increased to fifty associa-
tons with Fort Wayne's entire popu
lation actually taking part. Without
the conference as an objective such
expansion would require six months
or a year more. The neighborhood
associations look after the needs of
the neighborhoods, such as schools,
Fairgrounds, pavements, lights and
sewers, and develop neighborhood lei
sure-tme programs, usually carried
out in the school buildings and consist
ing of such activities as developments
of units for the Fort Wayne communl-
ty chorus, of neighborhood orchestras,
bands and glees clubs, social gather
ings, recreational games and folk
dancing, dramatics, including one act
plays, minstrel shows, pageantry, ath-
letic contests, celebrations on holidays,
field days, community fairs and picnics.
Through the various delegates ii,
lustration to the state at large of the
development Of the local organization
will set up convincing example Of the
powerful appeal of community sent-
ment, linked with good organization
plans and so spread the community
movement, it is hoped"
Various committees have been
named to arrange for the meeting.
