 Rapport, it is explained, exists when the sub. ject is in touch only with the hypnotst. No one else can influence him. A dozen other people may shout orders at him and he will remain perfectly unaffected only to carry out the slightest request from the hypnotist. He acts as if he were deaf to all other voices than that of the operator.
 Popular interest Is centered around two points" Prof. Estabrooks goes on to explain. First comes the question as to whether person can be hypnotized against his will and secondly, is the problem of the hypnotist's control In other words, just what can the subject be made to do? Will he steal or commit murder or at tempt assault if told to do sol
 "Now. as to whether person can be hypno- tized against his will. The answer is Yes at least in some cases. We have to consider several points. One of these is the fact that only about tzed under any conditions. So obviously we can not say that all people can be hypnotized against their wills. There are. however, several cond tons under which those who can be hypnotized might be acted upon against their wills.
 First, after person has once been deeply hypnotized. the hypnotst can often give certain suggestions as result of which the subject can be hypnotized at any future date without his con. sent or even against his will Consequently, we may say that person has been really hyp. notized by . clever operator. he may then be put to Sleep by this operator any time, regardless of his will. Therefore, have to limit our oues. ton still further by asking whether person who is susceptible to hypnotism can be hypnotized the first time against his will
 Undoubtedly so, under some conditions! There are few people who habitually walk and talk in their sleep. Some of these will answer questions and obey orders if skilfully handled. From here they can be easily thrown into state of genuine hypnotism. There are also few people who by their very nature are extremely susceptible to hypnotism. Certain types of hys- teriacs fall in this class Without the least doubt. these people, if caught off their guard. could be easily hypnotized at least without their consent.
 But these eases exceptional. Can the ordinary individual who is susceptible to hypno- tism be influenced against his wishes? Undoubt- edly he can. in some cases. Anyone can resist
New Britain herald., 1928-07-28

hypnotsm provided he knows he can do so. There Is the hitch. The moment person gets in a panic or becomes afraid that the operator may succeed just at that moment he is beaten It is waste of time for any hypnotst to attempt to influence normal person who is perfectly con- fldent that he resist, but let that person doubt his ability to resist, or become afraid of the operator and it is wholly different matter"
 Prof. Estabrooks demonstrates this point by relating the following incident based on the stern discipline in the German army before the war: 4 certain German psychologist wished to try an experiment, so he announced to a number of soldiers that he was going to hypnotize them.

A holder that is free from such a disad- vantage has been patented by Philip C. Auren. of Worcester, Mass.

Here you see certain parts of 'subconscous mind'-handing the body very effectively without any assistance from the con- scious mind. We may even go step further and get in touch with this subconscious mind. You may ask the sleep talker question and often he will answer you.

 "When the doctor hypnotizes . person. he simply, by means of special technique, puts the person into this condition wherein he is asleep and yet can do many things which are impossible to the ordinary sleeper He does not know what is happening but the hypnotst is in touch with the subconscious mind and through it can control the body and make the subject carry out his or ders. The subject is in exactly the same con. dition if he walking in his sleep but obey can be made thus to obey orders and are then really in hypnotic trance"

president of the Elcar Motor Co.. ex-
pressed satisfaction that something was
to be done. "Blockades and trafhc
jams caused on busy highways by slow
moving trucks must be done away with.
Truck drivers organizations have put
up strong opposition TO the suggestion
of increased speed regulations. Their
claim, apparently sound. Is that under
existing highway conditions an in
creased speed would only serve to in
crease accidents and imperil life.
The real solution OF the problem
seems to be the widening OF highways
in dangerously congested districts. The
present 10 or 20 foot width permits
only one lane OF trafIic in either direc-
ton. One truck with Its necessarily
slow rate Of speed can do much to tie
up traffic. II heavily travelled main
arteries were widened to permit four
