KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

| write Symptoms Of distrust and
anxiety seem exaggerated when put on
paper. A psychological autobiography
makes one out sinner or a Weakling,
while the same story told in confidence
has most Of the sting taken out of it,
1t brings one nearer to the common
lot Of unfortunates, bearing a secret
struggle To keep up appearances and
carry on.
Viewing this letter as a confession
and placing 1t alongside of many SIM
liar ones. two points stand out clearly
The first Is the racial factor in that
type of personal conflict that makes
for q sense Of inferiority The struggle
for acceptance Is as important as the
struggle for security or for Importance
When you move to new neighbor-
hood, go to new school Or college. or
enter q new business, will you be ac-
cepted as one of the neighborhood, OF
the school, or the Office. or whatever
may be the social bond? Religions
societies. titles, badges. are so many in
stitutions for securing acceptance. for
breaking down the social barrier that
makes one feel strange.
II by race and appearance you are
always held aloof, you have the making
of q complex. now add a tempera-
mental turn little more sensitiveness
to these slight differences In behavior
that SO easily grow to feelings of
estrangement and you have a case in
point. Intelligence and education will
not prevent them in one disposed to
such suffering though it is just the
control that intelligence and education
confer, that offers the best technique
to keep disturbing emotions in place.
And that's the second point that this
case presents.
Mental conflicts carry the same diff
ferences Of true caste mot the artifl-
cial systemS) as obtain in all relations.
Whether you go to a father confeSsor
n man of your class. with your educa-
tion, your mental habits, your preju-
dices, your personal feelings. There is
more difference in these respects be-
tween an educated and an uneducated
Chinaman than between an educated
Chinaman and an educated American.
And that is why the difference of race
offers no barrier to a mutual and deep
understanding.
The contestant and confessor. the
consultant and the consulting psycholo-
gist. meet on a common footing Of
ideas. A Chinese engineer knows his
Freud knowledge removes barriers.
and by the same token mind problems
spare no race, even though the racial
heritage shapes their course.

during the last month than were

"The fact that we have accunt-
ed for so many lions in this state
as compared with those killed in
the other westerns states, is not
due to the larger number of the

ACCESSORIES AID
AUTO PROGRESS.

Automotive progress owes
great deal to automobile access
sories and much of the enjoyment
that comes from driving a car is
made possible by the extra equip
ment, according to M. w. Smith,
local manager of the Western Au-
to Supply Company.
'|Each year manufacturers of
automobiles include in the specifi-
cations for their new models as
standard equipment, devices that
gained popularity among car own
ers through accessory stores," says
Mr.. Smith. when the Western
Auto Supply Company opened
their first store, the automobile
was in its early stages of develop
ment as far as extra equipment
was concerned. Features which
We today consider as absolute es-
sentials were lacking as automo-
bile manufacturers were more
interested in developing the me-
chanics Of their cars than perfect
ing comfort giving devices. AS
result automobile accessory
stores came into existence.
practically no equipment was
included in the original purchase
price of the car. If the buyer
wanted top, windshie d or head
lamp. he purchased them extra.
| Competition among the manufc-
turers of automobiles eventually
led them to partially equipping
their cars. With the adoption of
oil lamps, accessory manufacturers
introduced carbide and presto
lite lamps. When tie car makers
included these in the purchase
price of the car, the accessory
stores began calling the car own
ers' attention to electric lights.
$50 it has been throughout the
industry. In nearly every in
stance where the accessory dealers
introduced some practical new
item of equipment the manufac-
turers added it to their new mod
els. 1t was the accessory dealers
that sold the first electric lights,
windshield cleaners, self starters,
window curtains, bumpers and
shock absorbers. When accessory
store sales results proved the
worth of a device, the manufac-
turers added it to their cars.
although most cars are gen.
erously equipped with essential
devices nowadays. there is always
some new item to be added or
some worthwhile Improvement on
an cd accessory made to make it
popular with the car owner.

DR.. Caldwell's 3 Rules

Broken Leg When Logs
Fall From Wagon

Eugene Thomas suffered a painful as
well as serious accident Friday after
noon about o'clock while unloading
logs at the McRae Lumber Co.'s saw
mill near ]. M. Tate's farm, miles
east Of Lexington, when the load fell
on him and broke his left leg above the
ankle and also shattering bone in his

According to statement made by Mr..
Tate, the party had just driven in with
load of logs and had loosened the load
with cant hook. Releasing the dogs"
that held them in place on the wagon,
he turned to address helper nearby
when the logs started rolling. He was
trapped in the space before he realized
the impending danger with the above re-
suits.
Charley Montgomery, negro living
nearby, placed him in his car and
brought him to Lexington, together with
his brother-in-laW. W Wilspn Tate, undel
whose contract the hauling was beinl
