made captive early today and brought
in triumph to the village center. The
reptiles capture was made without
difficulty, though Socrates was some
what battered in the experience by the
apparently unnecessary activity OF one
of his captors armed with a hoe
The alligator was rounded up by
George, Bernard and Leo SatZ, broth
ers, who for some days have been
seeking to make the capture, parking
their automobile at the edge of the
swamp shortly after dark last night,
they left the headlights burning in
the hope that the glare would lure
the beast. The Tuse succeeded and
the reptile came creeping into view
shortly after midnight. It was quickly
stunned by blows and loaded into a
big basket.
Despite the lafeness of the hour
crowd quickly gathered to view So
crates when he was placed temper
arily on exhibition behind the lattic-
ed gate at the entrance of the local
theatre. He is four feet long The
capture settles doubts as to the beasts
existe nee and also apparently the con-
troversy whether an alligator could
survive a northern winter.

Fewer Liquor Law

Der of arrests made for violation of

| THE PSYCHOLOGY
GU SUFFERING

Suffering, with wI4ch we include
stammering, is the most serious of
the group of functional speech dis
orders. 1t is present in about one
This disorder should be considered
as synlptomatic only. The underly-
ing trouble may be neurotic, Psyche
neurotic, or some as yet obscure
trouble in the control or co-ordina-
ton of the elaborate mechanism of
speech.
We feel that there is some lack of
balance in the motor control of all
these cases, but the most important
thing is the temperamental lack of
ability to make the necessary emo
tional adjustments to life and the use
OF speech as a symbol of all the
human relationships In other words
the fear from which the sufferer
suffers is not a fear of speech. but a
fear of meeting situations in life, and
speech is the accepted field for such
a synbolization because poor speech
closes the necessary avenue of ap-
proach to life and offers an excuse
for failure that would otherwise be
lacking.
1t is maintained by some workers
in the field that the metal condition
and the emotional conditions are the
result of. and not the cause of slut

Teachers who do the speech-cor-

should know the part speech plays in

how poorly controlled emotions may

THE CLU1rERED DASHBOARD

One of our British conternp orar1es
is responsible for the suggestion that
the ex-aviator Is responsible for the
extra ordinacy multiplication of in
Struments which is to be seen in COM
parison of the dash of a surrent au-
tomobile with a car of five or six
years ago. We think the idea is
sound one, both as regards the origin
of the practice and in its implication
of the utter folly thereof.
Instruments on the dash are, Of
course, inevitable. Nobody wants to
drive without speedometer, an
ammeter, and an oil gage. But why
a clock? Why an assorted collection
OF dials that make the inner elevation
of ones petro1eum-buggy resemble
the control board of central power
window? Why the present mad race
for a multiplicity of nickelled pro-
tuberances in the cockpit of the road
cruiser?
Perhaps the answer is to be found
in a recent advertislan1e Mt which con-
siderably tickled our disabilities. The
better part of an expensive page was
devoted to pfcturing the supreme de-
Light with which an owner might look
upon the automatic cigar-lighter that
exclusively features the advertiser S
machine-how from his proud station
in this car he might look down with
amused contempt upon the unfortun-
ate driver whose machine leaves him
at the mercy of the matchbox when
he wants a smoke.
Now all sorts of reasons dictate the
choice OF car. We know a man
whose wife was of such extra ordinary
bulk that only one American car pos
sessed a door that would admit her;
but we have not seen the size of that
door advertized on behalf of that
car We have no doubt that some
where there exists a man who would
buy the x Y q car to get the cigar
lighter. But are there enough of him

that some folk will prefer the cal
