Claustrophobia.


We all have our pet fears and breads.
A very common one is claustrophobia.
II is the name for a dislike for inclosed
places Some psychologists would cali
it a vestiCe of ancient times handed on
10 us as a plain matter of inheritance.
No amount of reason or training
seems to be able to remove it COM
pletely. So those who have 1t appear
10 be doomed to the task of making
peace with haunting, morbid dread
Of the consequence of being alone In
small narrow places. So long as we
as a people were frontiersmen. living
in the wide open stretches of farms and
villages. this fear was not so apparent.
But todav We must live IN apartments:
We travel in Pullman cars: we 60 up
and down in elevators: We commute
from home to work by suoways: we
walk along streets lined by skyscrapers
Modern life with its necessary contrtv-
ances has made this old fear more fire.
cnlent in its appearance. It was one
If the first fears to appear among the
-oldiers during the World War. Many
men could not stand the trenches.
If bv any chance you cannot detect
it in your daily life. 1t does not follow
that you are free from this fear called
claustrophobia. Study your dreams. Now
and then 1t will crop uu in them. Per-
haps YOU have dreamed of falling into
we'll or between two walls, or found
yourself in a narrow street with one
opening guarded by fierce animals,
while the other opening closed as YOU
approached 1t. Usually YOU are able
in your dreams to. clear the walls with
single step. Otherwise you waken
with a start.
According to those psychologists who
look to the past for their explanations
of the present claustrophobia is relic
of the DAYS when our forbears lived
in caves. where they sought shelter and

or a cave hyena would come in and
make things interesting for the in
habitants. And so the psychologist
reasons that traces of such experiences
have been handed down from genera
ton to generation.
This cave theory is the best ex-

First let me tell you that not all

Diabetes is caused by some injury
