memories OF a misspent life, but
they are extremely real in China
Other countries put up monuments
TO honor the memory Of their dis

and goes in the opposite direction
with monuments to calumnite the
memory of others, perpetuating their
disgrace through the ages to come
The recent proposal to erect individ-
ual monuments to each of the mem
bers Of parliament who. in return for
cash consideration. voted for Tsao
Kun for president may not have been
understood outside of suave China.
These monuments were not proposed
with any honorary sentiment.
Four such statues are in the temple
of Yo Fei here. They may not be
much as works of art. but they prob
ably rank with many that adorn

 Steve was arrested on charge of disturbing the peace preferred by his sweetheart, Sophia Wilczynski, at whose home he rooms and boards.
 He had beaten Sophia with stick, Steve explained to the judge because she failed to provide his usual even- ing meal ration of four pounds of meat. The Court questioned Steve's capacity, so an officer accompanied Steve to a nearby restaurant, where he was given a chance to make good' The officer reported Steve consumed "only" 1.5 pounds of veal large bologna sandwiches and one quart of milk.

"MEASLES FOR SALE" ON HOUSES AROUSES POLICE
 IN PENNSYLVANIA TOWN

STEELTN. Pa, March 20.-"Meas- les for Sale" and Measles for Rent" are two signs which recently have been displayed on many houses here. The queer combination became so common inquiries were made to the local police concerning the meaning of the signs and why they were post ed. A policeman was sent to investi- gate.
 After looking over more than a score of such signs the officer decided that the borough health officer either had a well developed sense of humor or an entire lack of it. An epidemic of measles, has been prevalent here for some time. An unusual number of houses are posted "For Sale" or "For Rent" Each time the health officer posted measles" sign, eith- CT accidentally or by design, he placed it exactly above the "For Rent" or "For Sale" sign. Thus happend the queer combination.

IS TRUE
 INDEX TO INNER
 MAN, IS THEORY
Washington Professor Declares Most Desires
 Often Revealed
SO0THSAYERS VALUELESS
Psychologists Delve Into Minds of Those Who
 Tell of Dreams

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Dreams are the most accurate index to per sons character and secret thoughts according to Dr. Thomas V. Moore professor of psychology at Catholic University here.
 "Manifesting ones innermost de sires and fears, dreams may easily be explained and, in many instances accurately interpreted" said Dr. Moore.
 The functions of the mind, Dr. Moore declared, are performed con sciously and unconsciously.
 "The former" he continued, "are noted in the daily routine of life while the latter are the result of se- cret desires and longings which we often will not admit to ourselves in our conscious moments. These find expression in dreams, when the con- scious mind in imperative"
 To interpret dreams, Dr. Moore said, soothsayers and fortune tellers, most of whom are ignorant and to- tally unscientific," must be completely forgotten Instead the dreamer should endeavor to associate his dream with some experience in the immediate past.
 "Usually this will be found in some happening which has left an impress sion, or which has aroused a strong emotional reaction,' he asserted.
 'This is particularly true of dreams connected with sex. Desires con- sciously suppressed assert themselves naturally and forcefully in the uncon- scious mind Often these are mixed with happenings in the dream which seemingly are unrelated to sex. Triv- ial incidents, which frequently are for gotten, also form the basis for dreams because they register themselves with the subconscious mind.'
 Many dreams, Dr. Moore declared, are symbolic, the tendency of children and primitive races to depict their thoughts in pictures coming from the mind.
 Among the most accurate indices to ones character are dreams he stated. By learning of the daily as sociations of the dreamer an average student of dream psychology can often learn the inner thoughts and desires of another individual, provided he will truthfully relate his dreams"

LONDON BUS WAR
 IS WAXING WARM
Out Competition by Private Firms

LONDON, March 20.--Wars, rumors of wars and threats of wars are be- coming stale topics in London con versation, but occasionally some new war scare" comes along that arouses interest.
 For the moment the popular war" in London's "bus war"
 The General Omnibus Company has for years operated it's buses on the streets of London without competi- tion. In the last six months at least four independent bus lines have opened up in competition, and now there is "bus war" on.
 The new buses find that they have an unwelcome escort. For every in dependent bus operating on the streets there is flotilla of General Omnibus Company buses to act as escort. The independent bus man finds himself sandwiched in between 8 fleet of big red buses, and he has traffic troubles and is generally beaten to the passenger stop, so that his customers are few.
 Public sympathy seems to be in favor of the independent buses, how ever, and they are managing to exist
 Lord Ashfield, head of the London transportation combine, who once smashed baggage" in America, is quite excited and peevish about this "bus war" He warmly defends the tactics which his company has put in force to wipe out competing buses.
 Small omnibus companies have never shared the burden of the day" Lord Ashfield says. "They add nothing to the transport facilities of London. They seek the dense routes of traffic and run their omnibuses with a view to serving their own sell fish interests The private omnibus owner has less responsibility than a taxi driver It must be a sur vival of the fittest."

CARTERET RUM
DENIAL MADE
Mayor MuIvihiII Says Bor-
ough is No Worse Than
Any Other Place

CARTERET. July 26.-The bor-
ough administration and its law en-
forcement department is doing
everything in their power to check
the bootlegging activities and sur
press the moonshine trade in town
according to Mayor Thomas J. Mulvi-
hill in an interview today with a
reporter of the Evening News.
The mayor said that since he has
taken over the administration last
January he has made every possible
move to eliminate the booze trade.
Working hand in hand with Chief of
Police Henry j. Harrington, the
mayor said evidence was secured in
a number of places and the federal
authorities were called in to assist
in rounding up the moonshiners.
The invasion of the federal agents
on May II netted a large number of
violators and the success of the raid
was due to the untiring efforts spent
In the past few months gathering
whatever evidence possible. In many
cases the men were held for the
grand jury.
The mayor believed that Carteret
has no more stills than any other
municipality of it's size. The auth
critics are not encouraging the
operation of the stills, the mayor
pointed out, and whenever informa-
ton is received of the presence of
d still immediate action by the local
police is taken. The bootleg situa-
ton like in any other places is a
difficult one to cope with, in the
opinion of the mayor in spite of the
watchfulness of the police. The
violators are not getting away with
light fines when they are brought
before the recorder, the mayor said.
