The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-15

The most recently discussed bridge plan is for bridging the Golden Gate. The plans have been drawn by J. $. Strauss, noted bridge architect and engineer. The brige would be a combination of cantilever and sus- nonsion types: It is 6:7oo feet across Gold Gate No type heretofore pro posed could said the strain of such long span. The Strauss plan calls for rigid cantilever structures at each end, which would swing 200 feet above the water, with a main center span of the unprecedented length of 4,0O0 feet Of this 2,640 feet would be by cable. There would be two shore spans of 1920 feet each The bridge would be 80 feet in width. The towers for the bridge Would be taller than Eiffel Tower and would have elevators for sightseers.
 The cost of the proposed bridge Is estimated at $20,O0O,OO0.

HYPNOTISM'S DANGERS
By H. Addington Bruce

Once more scientific condemnation OF
Snowman and amateur hypnotism is forth
coming And again the condemnation is
based on the ground, not so much OF mental
and moral hazards, as of dangers to- the
physical health.
To be sure the objector in this instance,
the German savant Schultz, does not regard
the mental and moral risks OF hypnotlsm as
wholly noneXistent
In common with scientific authorities gen
orally, he SCOTS at the widely held belief
widely held chiefly because of its populariza-
ton by writer's of mystery fiction-that peo-
pie can be hypnotized and induced against
their will to commit crimes. But, regarding
hypnotism as IAN experiment on the brain,
he believes that mental troubles, lasting it
may be several months, may be induced II
hypnotism is applied to unsuitable subjects
or by bungling operators.
. And, as reported in the Journal of the
American Medical association, he further
holds:
There are grave social dangers assocl-
ated with an improper use of hypnotlsm
Hypnotic experiments, if abused, may easily
lead to the enslavement of subject, which
may be taken advantage Of by INSCRIPTIONS
persons"
1t u.s. however, the health-impairing posi-
bilties of hypnotism that Professor Schultz
emphasizes Not nearly so we'll known as it
ought to be is the fact that serious and oc-
casional fatal illness has resulted from the
hypnotizing of persons not given medical
examination before being put into the hyp-
motto trance!
At times too when actual Illness does not
result. unpleasant and more or less distress
ing after-effects are experienced, especially
if the technique of the hypnotist is faulty.
These include feelings of pressure in the
head, dizziness, speech disturbances, nervous
IF
Hence Professor Schultz insists:
For hypnctic experiments only such per-
sons may be employed as have been declared
suitable LS physicians familiar with the con
ditions. The layman is entirely incapable
of passing judgment IN this matter.
ANY knowledge of the subject that is
worth WiiIe can be obtained only by SPECIAL
and thorough scientific training, and any
person who jeopardizes the health OF his Eel
lowmen by insttuting, under the curse or
experimentation, sensational stunts in hyp-
notism is criminally culpable.
In America, fortunately, public exhibitions
Of hypnotism are not nearly so common as
they used to be, partly perhaps as result OF
the shifting of popular interest from hyp-
notism to psycho-analysis. But Snowman
hypnotists still are to be found, and there
still is a widespread impression that hyp-
notism is something which anybody can easily
master and practice without risk of doing
harm.
To such an impression Professor Schultz S
findings are a salutary corrective, and I
gladly give them increased publicity In
the hope of thereby helping to diminish the
ardor of those who, though completely lgno-
rant of either the physical or psychological
action of hypnotism would dabble in 1t for
entertainment or profit.

MY FAVORITE STORY
BY IRWIN COBB

There was ship which had captain who
was by way of being something of wag. 1t
piled in tropical waters, this ship; and IN
time, acquired good many small dWellers
that were not on the passenger list or the
crew roster. Let lis call them for conven-
fence f1eas. Many Of them undoubtedly were
feas.
On one voyage of this populous steamer a
young lady traveller approached the captain
as they were nearing the equator.
ooh, captain, she said. I'm just dying To
see the equator. I always thought it was an
imaginary line; but my husband says it is
plainly visible on clear day Is it?''
1T is. said the captain; lin fact, it is now
visible through strong glass. You wait
here a moment"
He went to his stateroom and got his
binoculars. AS he on his way back to
her he plucked a sandy hair from his head
and stretched it across the lens He handed
the instrument thus decorated, to the lady.
She put it to her eyes and looked at the hori-
zon ahead according to the shippers instruc-
tions.
''If you see a reddish wavy line, that's the
equator" said the captain.
ooh, goodness" gurgled the lady. Il can
see it just as plain as anything. And, oh, cap
tain, there's a camel crossing it,

your answer to Ed Howe is wide of the
mark. If he had said your statements were
bunk he would have been nearer the truth.
| have just lost an only daughter. What
beauty or joy could you get in my place? Do
not be selfish. Think of others whose hearts
are breaking while the world goes merrily
ON. When you speak of being unconquerable
in death you talk worse than bunk. No!
Death is your master. AS it has already con-
quered millions, so you, too, will go down
into the silence where the dead know not
anything and all your bright and foolish
joy will be forgotten before then

Reduced to its lowest terms, this mans
argument seems to be that since we must all
die, and since none can escape the common
lot of sickness and dissolution, why should
anybody be fool enough to enjoy himself?
1t is really an argument against life
Life must be accepted upon the terms 1t
is given us, and one of those terms is that
we are to be allowed to use it for only
short period of time
Now the essence of optimism and intelli-
gence is that we are to adjust ourselves to
the inevitable, and not continually break our
hearts against it.
Death is as much a part of our existence
as birth. 1t is natural and any program of
life that does not include it and plan for
it is irrational
The fundamental creed as Pastor Wagner
said, is the belief in life. 1t might be added
that it is the belief that life is good and
sweet and beautiful.
There have always been two schools Of
thought in the world. One group, perceiv-
ing how universal tragedy is has concluded
that life is mistake and is essentially bad.
1t is this sort of dark view that underlay
the writings of TolstOi and also the whole
medieval conception of existence This
world was bad and the only hope was to get
out of IT, The only place we can find JOY
is in another existence. So the medieval
mind occupied itself not in being happy here,
but in getting ready for happiness hereafter.
1t may be but a matter Of opinion, but
do not accept this view. / believe that life
is good believe the world is attuned tc joy:
[ believe that whoever made me and maze
kittens and canary birds and fishes intended
us al! to be as happy as we can, and that if
we follow our normal instincts and use our
intelligence 10 the best Of capacity, we
shall find this joy.
And 1 believe it is possible so to order
ones life and thought that death, instead Of

In other words, that the words of Bryant
are sound and sane when he writes:
join
The innumerabIe caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall
take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou goest, not like the quarry-slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon but sustained and
soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant dreams
