il we can make this plain.
The miscr is man who in
his early youth was impressed
by his parents with the fear of
poverty. In later years. when op-
portunity arose, the subsconscious
mind passed the impression to the
conscious mind, constantly re-
minding that starvation was at
hand, filling him with terror Of
poverty. and making him be-
come a miser. Now the auto-sug,
gestionist simply persuades the
miser's UNCONSCIOUS mind that
there is no danger of poverty
or starvation. If he succeeds
the miser is cured.

DUE TO GREAT WAR.
The psychologists and the auto
suggestionists' sudden populariza-
tion is due directly to the great
war which has caused not only
physical but also profound mental
disturbance throughout the world.
The upheaval has disturbed the
very depths Of the subconscious
mind, which rising into the con.
scious, suddenly sets free from the
store house Of memory a tremen-
dous mass of impressions or re-
cords, to confuse and disturb,
manifesting itself in various kinds
of mental diseases, resulting in
phsical breakdown. and finally

to take their places, as men and

KINDERGARTENs OR PRISONS!

We spend more than three million
dollars a day on criminals, so GRIM
inologists tell US. We might far bet
ter spend this on kindergartens, which
educators claim reduce crime might
lily.
It is estimated that in the United
States there are four million children
who need kindergartens, who are run
ming the streets at an age when they
should be beginning their training
which leads to moral citizenship.
The Council of the General Feder-
alton of Women's Clubs, at its Bien-
nial meeting last June, determined to
make an attempt to secure such legis-
lation in each state that kindergar-
tens may be provided upon the peti-
tion of parents. States now having
such laws are: California, Arizona,
Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Pennsylvan-
ia, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Women's organizations, or individu'
ais, wishing to help in this worthy
work, may receive aid and informa'
tion by applying to the Nation Kin

LOUISIANA CLUBS

Louisiana State University, it was
possible to plan a coherent outline of
work in harmony with the general
idea in view. The charter members
will ever hold in grateful remem-
brance his help at that time. To the
leadership Of Mrs. Emerson, the club
also owes a debt of gratitude. Her
ability and strength of purpose did
much to establish the sound founda-
tion upon which the club now stands.
1t was at first agreed that the club
membership should not exceed twelve
in order that all discussions might be
informal. This number was found
too small for best results so it was
extended and there are now twenty
active members and three associate
members.
A distinctive feature of the Social
Science Club is that it meets in the
forenoon on the first and third Fri
days Of each month. A rule that
has been strictly adhered to is that
the meeting be not longer than one
and one half hours. Thus, business
begins promptly at ten o'clock and
papers and discussions are limited so
that the sessions may be over at
eleven thirty o'clock. This, as a work
ing principle, has proven most salts
factory.
The years program makes provision
for one or two lectures from some
one outside who will elucidate some
point or problem before the Club. Be-
sides DR.. Scroggs, DR.. Mason, DR.. c.
H. Bean of the Louisiana State Uni
versity has given a number of very
helpful talks to the club. Recently
Dean Tullis very ably explained a
few points concerning the legal status
Of women, a lecture much appreciated
by Club members and invited guests
Others who addressed the club were
Supt. Harris, Mr.. J. R. Commit and
Scoutmaster Steele.

Increase In

Upheld By Court

New York. Nav 26-The Federal
District Court yesterday handed down
an opinion sustaining the order of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
allowing the New ENGLAND railroad
lines a Is per cent. increase in rates
on traffic moving on through lines
The application asking for a. mod
ification of the order of the Inter
state Commission, which was issued
January so. 1922. was brought by "A
steam railroads operating west of the
Hudson River Gateway.
The order complained of, the court
decision saws, was made on the petit
ZION of New England lines asking for
an increase in their divisions. 1t was
based. the court points out on the
cost of operation of the New England
reads. because of their terminal char
acteristics, which were represented as
imposing a relatively heavier charge
than that borne by the lines west of
the Hudson River.
The order was attacked on the
ground that the commission has ex-
ceeded is authority in fixing a pri-
mary division east and west of the
Hudson River gateway without, at the
same time. fixing sub divisions
