just then the sweet tones Of the

Mans Mind EUer in
Affect Grip of Fear

Primitive man began his existence
ON earth under conditions that caused
his hair to stand on end dozen times
In the day of thrilling adventures.
When he looked around him it was
with an anxious, watehful eye for en-
emieS, and an ear strained to catch
the hoWlings of strange beasts.
II was with reluctance he surren-
';ered his consciousness at night, for
there was no security about his rude
couch He looked up at the sky with
no sense of friendly aid to be sought
there, but rather with craven dread
of some malign intent in the strange
movements of the stars and In the
periodic appearance of flaming
comets.
Man lived for countless ages with
fear AT his elbow, and the centuries
of his advance in knowledge and cul-
tire have not enabled him to rid him.
self of the monster, SAYS Il. V. Odle
in 7. It's and Cassel1's Weekly. One
result of this is that the language of
almost every civilization ahounds with
taboos and superstitions, while even
good many of the sayings of the
great are colored with the emotions
of fear
Science has disposed of superstition,
hut 1t has come to understand only
a very little more about the emotion
of fear. II is only in his head and
In his heart that man is sometimes
a hero; in the pit of his stomach he
Is always a coward. Physiologlcally,
the emotion of fear hits us very lit
orally below the belt. II affects the
great network of nerves situated under
the diaphragm and known as the solar
pleXus. These nerves are closely as
ISOLATED with all the most vital or
gans and they control the very pilot
upon which the human mechanism
works. Hence, the sinking feeling"
that we experience in moments of fear
Is due to an actual relaxation of the
diaphragm itself and the consequent
embarrassment of the heart and the
pulmonary system.
Science has also discovered that
the sense of fear, when II becomes
intensified, tends to produce we'll
marked condition known In medical
terms as a phobia. There are agroa-
phobla or fear in crowds; monophobia.
or fright of being in confined space;
anthraphohia, or fright of society;
bathophobia, or fright of things fall
ing; sderodromophobla, or fright of
railway travelling.

VAIN RED ROSE

nNE morning In a garden there was
little dewdrop that wanted to
get away from the suns hot breath
that 1t might stay in the garden all
day, so 1t nestled close to II beautiful
red rose and whispered; Hide me,
beautiful rose, in The soft petals of
your lovely gown"
The rose was very vain and thought
only of her own beauty, SO she told
little dewdrop to creep close inside
and nestle In her heart, for she want
ed to keep It until moonlight flooded
the garden when her lover, the night
ingale would come to sing to her his
love song.
Away down deep In her heart crept
little dewdrop, thinking that red rose
must love II to let 1t rest In her heart

Transformers Completed.

The New Jersey Power & Light
Company have completed their al
terations to the transformers which
supply the electric power and light
to the Mill. After the removal of
the old poles the appearance in front
of the old buildings will be much
improved. This extensive alteration
was necessary on account of the
Bell Telephone Company enclosing
the telephone wires in a cable in
stead of so many overhead wires.
1t will be interesting to know that
the cable running in front of the
Mill contains sufficient wires for 81
telephones.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"HABER DAsHER"

THOUGH Swinton, who can
\ usually be relied upon for the
accuracy of his investigations
into the antecedents Of words,
deuIares that "haberdasher" Is
derived from the German HABIT
lhr das2" and Is based upon the
fact that haberdasher Is ex-
pected to keep nearly everything
In his store, 1t almost certainly
dates back even further to the
days of the berdash, or neck
cloth, a combination of the words
beard" and "tache.' meaning a
covering.
Chambers, In referring to the
woru, states: "Berdash was a
name formerly used In England
for n certain kind OF neckdress,
and hence person who made
ard sold such neckcloths was
called berdasher. Gradually,
. however, there grew mp berdash-
ers of two kinds-thOse who
sold small wares. such as but
tons, tapes and other trlAes
which might be included In the
old Norman term 'hapertask.
and those who sold hats The
latter being made Of a substance
known as 'habertas', the syllable
'hab' was naturally prehxed t.
the word 'berdasher' and the
name 'haberdasher' applied TO
anyone who handled articles OF
. either class"

LEAPS FROM PLANE

Soldier Makes Record Jump
With Parachute in Texas.

San Antonio, DISSATISFACTION some
times made that 8 man falling 1000
feet will lose consciousness In the ter
rife speed attained stand disproved
recently by Corporal O. Eugene Con-
rad of Kelly field, who now holds the
Southern record for parachute jump
ing as a result of successfully leaping
from a De Haviland airplape at an
altitude of q 500 feet here.
Conrad not only did not lose com
seriousness in a drop Of 1,100 feet from
the plane before his parachute opened,
but he retained his wits, counted the
seconds and when eight had elapsed
pulled the cord which opened the para
chute. Less than twenty-five minutes
later he had landed safely In muddy
alley a mile and half from the point
above which he had leaped.
The plane In which he rode, piloted
by Lieut.. Leland Andrews, also Of KEEL
" field, spiraled to Its dizzy height in
less than two hours. 1t was not
equipped with a super-charger and
thus established record In altitude
for q regulation army plane. Lieu
tenant Andrews believes he could have
gone higher but for fouled spark plugs.

men, but not used

ground temperature was above so de-
gr0es when they started, but above
10000 feet it was so cold Conrad be-
came thoroughly chilled and could not

It was Andrews, guiding the plane.
who placed Conrad's numb fingers
around the rip cord of the parachute
before Conrad climbed over the side.
The parachute opened In a stiff breeze
and started carrying its burden back
towards Kelly field. Neither para
chute nor Conrad was visible to watch
ers below and the plane long since had
vanished. At 1900 feet above the
earth the parachute was first seen,
and, soon after, struck By a south
wind, it started carrying Conrad to-
ward small lake. Farther down a
third wind current, this time from the
northwest, interviewed, and carried
Conrad to safety. Andrews landing
