GONE BUGHOUSE"

Around insane asylums there US
ually is a harmless lunatic who is
mentally normal except that he has
an obsession for dressing up in
freakish clothes. The same indi-
vidual would pass as sane at a mas
querade, or even during epidemics
of jazz styles.
Another interesting eccentric
around insane asylums is the gen.
tleman who has the thrift instinct
so highly developed that he boards
bits OF glass or bright quartz peb-
bles, under the delusion that they
are immensely valuable. Hs has a
lot in common with some OF the
people outside the asylum who have
the same eagerness to accumulate
money, Jewels or rare articles.
The insane people are not ali
locked up.
Science now is training its guns
on nervous and mental disorders.
One authority says that the biggest
problem in America today is curb
ing our unconfined m~admen-all
the way from fanatics to what Ed
Howe, wise country editor, calls
"public-affairs lunatics."

to know what the explorers will
find civilization like when the

In 1923.
A lot may happen in seven years.
And a lot will happen. For a pre-
cedent, consider what has happened
since 1915, seven years ago, when
the World Var was in its first
stages.
How about 1929? Will the Boil
sheviki be out in Russia? VIII
Germany be a monarchy? VIII
blood be flowing again in Europe?
In our country, seven years from
now, will the Democrats be back
in power? VIII Ford be president?
VIII a big business boom be on
full-blast? VIII cost OF living be
higher or lower than nowi
The great sensations Of the next
seven years probably will come in
science. Monkey-gland operations
may become common. Mars might
eonceivably get in communication
with us. Man may get to the sup
ernatural. New wonders, greater
than radio, may be discovered.
More important than all these,
to you personally, is what you will
be doing in 1929. VIII you be plug

will you be rich, reaping the fruit
Of effort or blessed by a legacy or

touch with civilization by radio. But
it will find the world strangely
changed when 1t returns,

spend seven cold years drifting
over the North Pole.

a trip such as no men ever took

The polar ice, forming constant

meets the warm gulf stream and
melts. AS fast as it melts at one

Dr.. Stearn's adds this word Of
caution in considering "paranoid
personalities-that it is human in
stinct to regard any one who dis
agrees with us as Of morbid or in
ferior mind, and it must be re-
membered that every once in a
while one OF these individuals is
right and the world is wrong"
But, on the whole, this wouldn't
be a bad time for the American

some OF the national "paranoid

MOTORISTS DRIVE
WITH THEIR BRAKES.
HANNUM'S BELIEF
Oakland President Warns
Against Abuse Of Easy
Driving Method.

The greatest fault with American
drivers today is that they drive with
their brakes, according to George I'll.
Hannum, president and general man
ager of the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany, Pontiac, Mich.
1T may be due to the fact that life
in America is speeded up to a dizzying
pace" explains Mr.. Hannum, that our
great cities are ~congested with auto
mobile traffic; and that the brakes are
actually built SO mechanically sound
that even in spite of the abuse they
are subjected TO they stand up under
the strain.
Every time you hear a traffic Off
GERS whistle in a large city, you almost
Immediately hear a crunching of brakes
and a s%craping of dry tires IN the
pavement.
Take Things Easy
And even in long c~ross-country
drives, where billy country is
tered, some drivers constantly jam ON
their brakes when slowing down in
stead of allowing their cars to slow
down before the brakes are applied.
Every tire mark on the pavement costs
some automobiles money, sooner or
later.
Inc motoFIst should take things easy
in driving. whether in a crowd or out
of a crowd. Fast driving between short
city blocks, followed by a sudden jam
ming on of the brakes, gains little time
and is expensive, both in the wear and
tear on the tires, the burning out Of
the brake lining and injury to the
brakes and other mechanical parts of
the car. Never put more pressure on
the brakes than is absolutely necessary
to stop at the point you wish.
Keep Motor Running
In going down hill. take your foot
off the accelerator. and the motor, SET
at q safe pace, will hold the car back.

FUNERAL BEARERS ON STRIKE
Incident That Enlightened British Pub
lie Concerning Profession About
Which Little Is Known.

The strike of funeral bearers in
Hull calls attention to profession of
which comparatively little IS known.
People are apt to look upon the
somber figures who walk beside the
hearse and carry the coffin to the
grayeside as simply a part Of the I'M
dertaker's outfit. but in reality these
men are a profession to themselves.
Usually they are small tradesmen,
writes a correspondent, or out of
work, ready to earn a few shillings
in this way. Every undertaken has his
own little band who can be relied upon
to come whenever a funeral is on.
Generally the undertaken provides the
tail hats, a fact which accounts for
the grotesque fitting of some of the
hats, but the black suit must be nro-
vided or borrowed by the man himself.
The fee varies from 70 cents t. $1.25,
according to the district, and there are
men who can make So d week and
upwards out of this line. At Hull
the fee has been $1.25. Now the
wish to drop it to 81 a
funeral, and hence the strike of the
bearers Manchester Guardian.

One day Betty was playing under
the tree near the barn with her toys,
and Paper Doll was there also, dressed
in her very best dress, the gold one.
She stood on top of little table when
Betty went in to her dinner, and when
she came out Paper Doll had disap-

"She must have blown away" said
Grandma, who came out to help look
for Paper Doll; but, though they
looked all around the yard, and even
in the tree, nowhere could she be
found.
By and by the farm man came along
and Betty told him she had lost her
doll dressed in her best gold dress, and
nowhere could she find her.
Just then Jim Crow came luttering
to the shoulder of the farm man and
sat there, turning his head from side
to side, his bright eyes looking all
around.
'Your doll wore a gold dress?"
asked the man with smile.
Betty told him it was a paper dress,
all gold color, and then the man
laughed out loud. II should not Won
der if I could find it for you," he said,
going toward the barn.
In a few minutes he came out with
Paper Doll in his hand. Her dress
was all crumpled and her arms bent,
but Grandma soon ironed her into
shape and she was as neat and pretty
as ever.
And where do you think Paper Doll
had been?
In the barn, where Jim Crow hid all
his treasures. He loves bright things,
and when he saw Paper Doll and her
gold dress he picked her up and car
ried her off,
Betty thought 1t was quite an ad-
venture for Paper Doll, but she
watched her things after that when

DON'T BLAME THE WAR

D0N'T you get tired of hearing
IL people say, day after day, well,
it was different before the war;!
A middle-aged woman said the other
day that when she was child she
used TO hear her mother and grand
mother talk about the good old days
before the war. She used to say TO
herself. with childish satisfaction,
"Well, anyway, I'll never have to do
that" But today she is doing just
that same thing-talking about the
good old days before the war.
Perhaps that is the way of the
world. Perhaps our Colonial ances-
tors used to remember the pleasant
conditions before the Revolutionary
war. Perhaps France looked long
ingly back a hundred years ago to
the days before the Napoleonic war.
Perhaps mankind will always talk OF
Dre-war Gays with longing.
