NEW HAVEN, Conn, September 81
A directory of LIES principal annoy
ances, S07 pet peeves, was given to the
International Congress Of Psychology
ut Yale University today by Prof. HUI
sey Cason of the University OF
Rochester.
1t may be used to minimize some
Of the days discomfort by learning
when to be on guard against undue
irritation. Virtually~all the annoyances,
said Prof. Cason, ARE learned" or
acquired. A few, like the screech of a
piece Of chalk on q blackboard, are in
herited, sure to crate on nerves the
world over.
The average time of life to be most
on guard against q state of Feasibility
Is between the ages of 40 and 80. Sus-
ceptibility to annoyances Is least from
10 to as, rises a little from IS to 40,
is maximum from 40 to so and dwin-
dies slightly from so to 90. DR.. Cason
has not investigated beyond 90.
Women Mere Susceptible.
Women Of all ages averaged uni
formly more susceptibility to an-
noyances. There are exceptions. Men,
for example, object nearly twice as
much as women to dancing with q fat
person. Men are distinctly more an
neyed at seeing person wearing
mourning clothes. or seeing an adult
weep.
Among 81 900 instances Of annoyances
reported to Prof Cason those rating
worst by the sufferers include: 90

opportunity to find the real attitude
OF this. their senatorial representative,
especially in view Of the fact that he
viii come up for reelection next year"

obtained some very fair results and
who followed that letter by stating that
while he is from prohibition State
he does not hesitate to say to them that
he opposes prohibition, but does not find
it policy to be too outspoken, ETC.. can
not exert any influence worth while
either for the wet side or the dry side"
Mcbride declared the Senator had
made a 100 per cent wet record" this
