@HYSICAL handicaps may be
u divided roughly into two
classes-those that are real
i and those that are simply alibis.
In the second class are all
ments of all kinds which could be
overcome if they did not offer too
good an excuse @for getting out OF
something disagreeable. To this group
belong a number of so-called physical
diseases which are wished on people
bv their subconscious minds. Such
sickness seems real enough to the
sufferer, but when the mental condi.
ton that produces it has been cor
rected the physical disease also
disappears.
At the last annual meeting Of the
American Medical Association in
Washington a whole session of its
largest section was devoted to the
mental and emotional causes of
disease. At that time one Of the
doctors whose specially was diseases
of the digestive tract made the state
ment that approximately one-third of
the patients who consulted him in his
office had no discoverable organic dis
order Similar statements were made
by other physicians present.
The application of these facts to
business success is obvious. Many
man or woman allows fancied handi.
cap to tie the hands, to serve as an
excuse for idleness, so that it's posses
sor will not have to make any further
effort in the struggle to get along.
This is a very common phenomenon
because il arises from that tendency
possessed by all of US. to a greater or
less degree, to take things easy If we
can find a good excuse for doing so.
The person who gets from an insur-
ance company sick benefits that
almost equal his wages is likely to
make very slow or incomplete recov-
cry. Indeed. creating an invalid Of
the beneficiary is a well recognized
danger of all accident and sick insur.
ance. 1t is surprising how sick a
person will remain when he is suing
for damages and how ia pidlv he may
get well when the suit is settled.
X u
IN the matter Of pensions and sick
benefits it is true that there is a
certain group of individuals for whom
the premium of a steady compersa
ton during illness is too much and
who are unable to get we'll so long as
they are, as it were, paid for being
sick. This group is probably not SC
large as it is supposed to be. because
people who react in this way are very
often essentially poor risks at best
and this method of reaction is indie
ative of their faulty personality
makeup.
For the most part, therefore. they
should not be treated as If they were
consciously malingering. 1t would b.
better if the pension or the sick bene
fit, as the case might be, could be use'
by the physician as one of his thera
peutic aids, so that he could WITHDRAW
part or all ofit as he saw fit and as III

that the patient needed il or did no

 Only a slight change in the rul- ing concerning the eligibility Of transfers is needed and although time is short before Tad Jones will entrain his hosts for the stadium it is sufficient if Harvard and Yale au- thorities chose to act quickly, 1t was pointed out.
 Under the present status of the joint agreement. each college is it's own judge of the eligibility of its players within the terms of the rule.
 Caldwell played freshman fotoball with Brown before transferring to Yale where the situation was not brought 10 light until the week of the Princeton game.

Harvard Alumni Bring Pressure

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 17 Pl- Harvard has not get given up hope that Bruce Caldwell, debarred Yale backfield star, may see duty in the game with the Bull Dog here nexe Saturday.
 That became known today with the revelation that unnamed but re- putedly prominent alumni were bringing heavy pressure to bear on the Harvard athletic association to seek a last minute change in the transfer rule that would allow Cald- well to rejotn his team.
 A somewhat similar attempt on the part of the Princeton faculty and student body on the eve of last weeks Princeton-Yale clash was turned down by the Yale athletic authorities who held that the rule must be enforced without exception.
 The present move Is different, however, in that what is sought is not an exception In favor of Cald- well but a change in the agreement between the former Big Three of

 Engine Identification

The same engine number was used by sS2 persons when making out their applications for automo- bile registrations for 1927. Stata motor vehicle department records also show that only $1 different en- zine numbers were used for 1,341 otLer cars. despite inc fact that every car has q number varying in el least one figure from every ether car ol 6 similar make.
 In none O. the above cases was -he correct engine number gwen. The registrants made the mistahs of conying the casting number of .Ie cylinder block instead of using tue engine or motor number. The uost popular number given was 321,i7S. q casting number used nearly 1000 times. and seconI choice was 327,772, used io0 times.
 Casting numbers may be dlstln- suished from engine numbers hv 'rl1s, fact that they are raised and engine numbers are either stamped Ion plate or on q smooth surface some where on the motor. If an ap- fulicant finds difficulty In locating the proper engine number reference should be made to the local dealer. To aid registrants in avoiding mis- takes or this kind while making heir 1928 registrations, the lntor- mation clerks at all department of- 1ices have been given a list Of cast ilng numbers of various makes of cars.

The new markers, for 1928, may be used on December 3l this year, that date being the Hast week day as al- lowed for the new markers by statute.
 Several states have supplied the department with information con- corning the dates on which their respective license tags may be used legally. In the District of Columbia 1928 tags may be displayed after December 1 and all cars must be equipped with 1928 tags after mid- night, December S1. In Maine 1928 number plates may be displayed on and after December 25, 1927, but 1927 plates cannot be legally dis played after December Sl of this year. New Hampshire allows no ex- tension of time for 1927 tags, but 1928 tags can be legally used the last five days of 1927.
 New Jersey 1928 plates may be displayed on and after December Is. South Carolina will allow the use of 1927 markers until January 15, 1928. No extension of time is allowed in Ohio for the use of 1927 markers, but 1928 plates may be displayed after December 21.
