DIR STANISLOW AT
 CENTRAL YMCA
Delivered Instructive Ad- dress Before Lithuanian-
 Am. Club Last Night
ON THE HUMAN MIND

An open meeting of the Lithu- onian-America club was held last night at the central Y. M. C.. A.. Joseph Wedzunas opened the meet ing and introduced the speaker, l)r John s. Staneslow.
 Dr Staneslow. who is specializing :n nervous and mental diseases. spoke on the topic of f"The Abnor- nal Mind and It's External Evi- dtnces." This difficult topic was Interestingly and comprehensively covered in a talk which lasted somewhat over an hour.
 The abnormalities of the mind were divided into the quantitive or feeble- minded and the qualitative or insane. The feeble-minded suf-' fer from a lack of mind while the insane suffer from a Arrangement oe mind. The feeble- minded can rot be cured but the insane often improve. There are three grades of feebie- e-mindedness-the idiot, tho imbecile and the moron. These last are capable of doing good work in the world and should be trained. The intelligence test is a means of grading these.
 Before taking up the discussion ot insanity itself, the psychopathic personalities were briefly men, toned. They are the group into which cranks and ecceptrics fall. Thcy are not insane, yet are not quite normal and find it difficult 10 live in harmony with the rest of the world.
 Insanity. itself, is known from earliest history, for even in the Biblo we find mention. of saul, who had periods of depression and Me- buchadnezzar who nate grass. It was not until Hippocrates' time that insanity was recognized as d'sturbance of brain--till then 1t had been considered possession by evil spirits.
 Joan of Arc is good example Of a dementia praecox type of in- sanity; so Is Don Quixote,
 The first insane asylum where the patients were treated with humanity and were not chained and beaten was founded in York. England, at the end of the 18th century. Since then there has been constant improvement in treatment for insane.
 In the attempts to analyze insan- fly, the microscope has been baf- fled. The analysis of conscious- rcss has proven as elusive as the analysis of life. All that we can stay for the insane is. that they are exaggerated forms of tendencies and functions of the sane mind. Therefore, psychology had to be brought in as means of analysis. Under the phases of dissociation, eomplexes, conflict. repression, projection and phantasy we can arrive at some deductions of the processes going on in the insane, mind.
 Dissoclatlon is simply 6 Dr Jekyll. Mr Hyde effect in the mind. Complexcs are binations of ideas which affect our outlook on life. Conflict occurs when two cemplexes at variance with each o.ber strive for supremacy. This

DECISION IN
 COMMON PLEAS
Judge McNiff Orders $4,- 800 Verdict Set
 Aside

Judge Miles r. McNlff ordered set aside the $4,500 rerdich award ed Sherman D. Stocker and others against Alma Gillette and others in decision handed down in the common pleas court today. Judge McNiff states in his decision that the jury could not reasonably have req ched n verdict against Alma Gillette, and, to force her to pay a Judgment greater than the amount of property involved in the suit is inequitable.
 The plaintiff was awarded q ver- dict after trial of the case to the jury several weeks ago. It was al- legged fin the complaint that the de- fendant used fraud in disposing or the property which Is located at Beacon Falls, left by Rhoda Gli- lette mother of the plaintins s wife.
 '"rhe evidence offered by the plaintiffs tending to show fraud on the part of Alma. is not such as to sustain the burden of proof cast on the plaintiff" Judge MsNif states. "The amount of the ver-- dict indicates the jury attempted to award the plaintiff an amount equal to the share of her mothers property Mrs Stocker would have received had her mother not dis posed of her property before death." the decision adds.
 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield appeared for the plaintiff. and Att torney William J. Larkin, Jr., rep resented the defendant.

Where wealth accumulates and
 men decay"
 For men are the fiber and fab ric of every land.
 The incurable and fatal weak ness of the wet philosophy Is just here. that :s ignores utterly the mightest Of all values-intrinsic human values"
 The lines quoted by Mir Finley are from Goldsmith's Deserted Village" and carry a meaning which probably all the congress- mans hearers did not fully under stand. Goldsmith painted q pie ture with the lines which unfor- tunately came true, and Mir Fin Icy took occasion to warn his as- sociates that similar legislation of passed and continued would ul- timately have the same effect in the United States. 4
 Congressman Finley was talk ing In favor of the volstead Act and refuting in so far as he could a very able argument against 1t by Congressman Mead of New York. who stated that no one but a man or woman who Is blind by choice can fail to see that pro- hibition does not prohibit and that bootleg beer Is consumed in larger quantities and doing more harm than real beer ever did. and added "Onlv those same voluntary blind persons have failed to see the evidences of the frightful increase in the drinking of strong intoxi- cants among young people especi- ally, which has been apparent everywhere In the land since tho enactment of the so-caled Vol- stead Act.' &6 N&
 Looking over the different opinions of the representatives in congress on the liquor question, one readily sees that its opponents as well as those in favor of the law as 1t now exists believe in temperance. but there is wide difference as to the best plan of working towards that end. The arguments are strong in support of the contention that prohibition has failed of It's purpose and that after q ten year trial common ordinary judgement, would suggest to 'any- body but the blind" that sonc- thing else be tried.

Divorce Case
 Is Dismissed Petition of Mrs Florence C0rreia Denied By
 Judge Els

The divorce complaint of Mrs Florence Houle Correia against Manuel Correia, was dismissed un- der a decision handed down in su- perior court today by Judge Arth- UT F. Els. The plaintiff brought the petition on grounds of cruelty and the case was tried before Judge Ellis, couple of weeks ago. At. that time the plaintiff testified, much to the astonishment of her counsel, that her husband had talked with her about getting a divorce and added that he intimat- ed he would pay all bills. Attor- ney Michael J. Galullo who ap- peared for the plaintiff stated it was news to him and that as far as he knew there was no collision.

after the shooting and was picked up some time later in Ansonia. He is alleged to have entered the Xvi etkus home with handkerchief On his face on the night of Dec 12 and to have fired at Mrs Kvietkus who fell. Her husband started toward the intruder but was met with shots and fell also to the floor. He managed to summon aid, however, and both he and his wife were rushed to St Mary's hospital. Kviet- kus died a short time later but his wife recovered.
 An unusual angle developed when Mrs Kvietkus identified 0 ne!ghbor as the assailant. Since Delinkaitis was arrested however. she changed her mind. The neighbor has since started civil action against her on the grounds of false arrest.
 Public Defender W. W. Gager will appear for the accused when he is arraigned in superior court next Tuesday afternoon. Delinkiatis is held without bonds at the New Haven jail.

results either in dissocia ation, or re- pression of one of them. The me- chanism of projection serves to im- agine onto someone else faults which we ourselves possess, while rhantasy is just another name for day-dreaming. If day-dreaming spurs to action, it is good; but if 1t is satisfaction in itself, 1t Is had and leads to insanity.
 In conclusion, Dr Saneslow drew an analogy between the human mind and the present state of the worlds affairs. He said "The hu- man mind has over-reached itself. Our civilization has become too complex for q mental equipment which has remained essentially the same from early civilization. Conflicts in economic and ethical principles act the same as conflicts of comp1exes in the mind--lead to a breakdown"
 As a remedy for the increasing number of insane persons he sug- gested much wider use of mental hygiene. especially in the high schools where we have adolsecerits who undergo great emotional strains.

SNOW is DEEP IN
MOUNTAINS NEAR REXFORD

Snow on the Purcell summit, west
Of ReMord, has reached a depth of So
inches, according to c. E. Powell, dis
trct ranger for the Kootenai national
forest. Ranger Powell, whose head
quarters are at Reaford, made 30
mile snowshoe trip to the Purcell sum-
nit the latter part Of the week, says the
Great Falls Tribune.
Snow was 81 inches deep at an alti-
tude of $500 feet he reported and
az inches deep at an altitude of 1000
feet 1t reached depth of 3712 inches
at $500 feet on the summit between
the Kootenai and Yak rivers.
About 10 inches of snow on the sur
face of the territory covered by the
ranger is loose but the snow under
meath is hard and contains a great deal
of water, he said No signs of game
or fur were seen above 1900 feet ac-
cording to Ranger Powell. Most of the
deer now are along the Kootenai river
brakes and are feeding on moss from
trees cut by tie makers.

Horse-Racng Shown to
Be Very Ancient Sport

Horse-racing was the sport OF kings
at least 5000 years ago. Recently
there have been discovered In Meso-
potamia some Hittite inscriptions dat
ing from more than 1000 years B. c..
which contain complete instructions
for the training OF candidates for big
races. Professor Hronzy OF the Uni
versity of Prague has interpreted the
inscriptions, and 1t Is astonishing to
find how methodical were the train
ers Of those far-off days. The ami
mails we're first got into condition by
diet which aimed at removing all
surplus flesh, and baths are also rec.
commended In the inscription. Speed
and stamina were developed first by
trotting and then by gallops over
longer distances Training rs 4 rule
occupied about SIX months. Other dis
coveries show that horse-racing as
sport can be taken back to at least
5000 b. C.
