Among other advantages derived
nom war activities has been a
closer study OF the factors that are
involved in Troubles as ex-
hibited under the strain of
A not uncommon heritage of the
war is what people know as she'll
shock. AS a matter of fact many
of the manifestations US
nally included under this term are
simply cumulative effects of gem
eTal war strain.
Many profound nervous disorders
neurasthenia, hysteria and the like,
of course. develop readily in
people with poor and men
tai endowment at birth.
Yet many people with average
family history are more or less UNI
stable in their nervous system. If
the strain is sufficient they lose
their poise and drift into pitable
conditions of chronic i'll health and
ife-failure.
Students of diseases have
called attention to the fact that in
civil life these serious dis
orders. characterized by such condi-
tons as sudden deafness, loss of
speech, periodic vomiting insomnia,
loss of memory, sleep walking
paralysis not due to injury or hem
orrhage of the brain, as well as
that vague collection of fears. anx-
ieties, and will failure termed neu
rasthenia, are due to the effect OF
the individual TO escape from some
intolerable situation.
Life struggle presents itself to
them as a hopeless battle and they
seek refuge In their mala-
dies. They seek to evade that strug-
gle with environment which every
organism ana every race must make
IL it is to survive. These sufferer
are. of course, not conscious OF this
underlying motive.
With regard to such cases al
agree that immediate treatment and
a heroic effort to hold the soldier
in the line and restore his conf
dence and bring him TO 1rmel
grip on the situation is the bes'
treatment.
A special study of these case:
will be made by men trained to thi:

Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

in life and property.
Dr.. Briggs shows that Spencer was
defective in intelligence from child
hood, that almost all of his imme-
diate relations on both sides showed
some signs of mental defect, many
of them have been downright In
sane. He further shows tina Spencer
was long known to many of his daily
associates as a queer man, n that
il is wellrecogniZed by them that he
was subject to outbursts of temper
almost without cause in which ne
could not control himself. In n or
these outbursts he almost killed a
boy with a hammer.
Yet this man Spencer, who was
,ecognized by ordinary laymen as
a dangerous man. and could nave
been identified by scientists at any
time after his seventh year as a
potential murderer, vas not only al
lowed to run at large, but to marry
and propagate-the faint which had
come down to him through the gen.
erations. Had he not been convict
ed of the murder which ended his
career, he would almost certainly
have been set free to murder again
and to continue propagating his
kind. And the United States of AM
erica is full of men like Spencer.
Having demonstrated what man
ner OF man it is who kills, and how
easy it generally is to identify the
murderer before he murders, DR..
Briggs proceeds to give some infor-
nation as to what u system of
leaving detectives at large costs the
taxpayer He shows that in Massa-
chusetts, $16,OOO.O 900 or forty per
cent of the state budget in 1921 was
spent for the care of defective, de-
pendent and delinquent classes"
Courts for Madmen
In addition TO this. it must be re-
memtered hat the criminal courts
are engaged almost wholly in the
business of trying detectives, putting
them in jail and turning them loose
again. The trial of Spencer cost the
state of Massachusetts between S25,-
600 and 100000 according to DR..
Briggs
Remember, too, that our expensive
police forces are engaged chiefly in
keeping track of these detectives,

GAS PRICES ON THE ToRoeaAN

The announcement of the EizabethtoWn Gas Ll8ht
COMPANY that a reduction of IS cents per 900 CUBIC ieet
will go into effect December 10 is of particular interest 10
perth Amboy and such surrounding towns as are supplied by
The Perth Ambov Gas Light Company. As a matter of fact, it
is of interest all over the state because it shows the general
tendency. If the Elizabethpwn company finds the cost OF
manufacturing gas sufficiently reduced as to be able TO cut
the price of gas to the consumer, surely every other gas
company must find the cost of production also reduced.
THAT being the case, it is only fair to give the consumer the
benefit, just as the increase in the cost of production during
The war was passed on to the consumer.
AS far as Perth Amboy is concerned, the reduction made
nv the Elizabethtown Gas Light Company is of particular in
terest because the Perth Amboy Gas Light Company is con-
trolled by the same interests that control the Elizabethtown
company and il. is this company that supplies the Perth Am
how company with most of the gas it sells in this vicinity.
IF the Elizabethtown company finds it possible to volun-
tarily reduce the retail price of gas to its consumers In EIz-
aheth it must certainly be intending to reduce the whole
sale nrice of gas to the Perth Amboy Gas Light Company,
which is probably its biggest customer. And if the wholesale
price is reduced to the local company, the people here nat
llrallv expect to derive a corresponding benefit.
II is all the more significant from the fact that all the
subsidiary companies of the Elizabethtown concern, Includ-
inc Railway. Metuchen and Crawford gas companies, are
going to put into effect a reduction the same as the parent
company has announced. While the Perth Amboy company
NOT be a subsidiary concern, it is so closely related
through its management to the Elizabethtown company that
what effects one affects the other.
The reduction in Elizabeth did not take place until the
civ authorities there had appealed to the Public Utility
Commission. The fact that the representatives OF the Eliza
bethtown Gas Light Company suggested to the Elizabeth
civ officials. however, that in the future, when 1T was deem
Cd that a change in rats was j%ustifable, the city get together
with the company and try to reach an agreement without
ooinc to the Public Utility Commission, suggests a course
that local officials might pursue provided the local company
does not make the voluntary reduction, which, under the
circumstances, it very probably will > 3
