The Applesauce Wins
Chicago Tribune)

Although many of the women who
are candidates for office say they de-
test housework, the photographers
who take their pictures know what is
politically good for them. Pictorially,
therefore, they are up to their ears in
the work they don't like, and the
photographer makes them like it. For
him they take the hide off the good
old potato, polish up the door knob
and dust off the offspring. They may
safely take 1t from the picture man.
He knows
The lady may be as shrewd poll
tician as ever made the exact change
for precinct workers without looking
at 1t. but she must come to politics like

fancies on tho masculine side. Mr..
Coolidge's big moments were when he
was pitching hay on hts fathers farm

A New Set of Ghost Stories

A New Set of Ghost Stories
The best ghost stories, usually, are
not those invented by some skilled
master Of fiction; they are those that
spring up spontaneously among the
ordinary people. travelling about from
mouth to mouth and reaching print
only by accident.
Recently newspaper correspondents
discovered that the farmers who live
around Monte Alban, Mexico, where
rich treasure tomb discoveries were
made a short time ago, have been
telling strange tales about superna-
tural goings- on in the vicinity Of the
tombS.
One story has it that a hollow
gourd filled with gold appears every
so often in the middle of a lake
nearby. Another tells of spirits who
stalk through the ruins of the old
Aztec city, carrying golden ornaments.
A third, the most eerie of all, has to
do with the temperance of the old
Aztec market.
According to this story, the market
place that used to exist at Monte AL
ban before the white men came will
materialize, at night, every so often,
just as it was in ancient times. The
man who sees it and accepts the
phantom as genuine comes to no
harm; but If a man sees 1t and re-
fuses to believe in it, he is straight
way enchanted and compelled to be-
come a ghost and wander eternally
about the ghostly market, and he
never can come back to real life.
These folk tales, born since the an
cient ruins were uncovered, will prob
ably be circulating about the villages
in that neighborhood a century from
now. They are of the true type OF
ghost story, the best type; the type
that comes into being itself, so to
speak, and does not depend on any
professional story-teller for it's exist
ence.
There is something rather signit-
can't about such stories. They reflect
the universal feeling that life is per-
nitted to go on in the presence Of |
unaccountable mysteries: that earth |
and air and sky veil unimaginable |
and that human existence Is |
a far more incomprehensible thing !
than learned folk assume. And that,
perhaps, is why We all enjoy them.

Roads in 1892

The nations road plans Cal! for an
expenditure of $l,353,0oo 900 during
this year.
OF the amount, 1882 100000 is the
probable expenditure by state high
way departments, with $471, 600, 900
the share of local authorities. The
state departments plan to construct
$4,000 miles of road, Of which $500
miles will be high type, such as as
phalt. concrete and brick, and 1850
will be sand-clay, macadam and
gravel. OF the state appropriations,
$1,000, 900 will be available for new
road and bridge construction, and the
balance will go for reconstruction and
maintenance. interest on highway
bonds and similar purposes.
1t is to be hoped that a fair pro-
portion Of the money will be spent
in rural and farming localities. There
is, OF course, no end to the need for
more and better main highways-but
this need, in most states, is not near
ly so great as the need for year round,
long-wearing secondary roads. The
farmer, as a class, still finds himself
buried in mud, so far as motor trans
port Is concerned, during bad weather.
There are still a number of months
each year when to drive between his
home and the outside world is wholly
or next to impossible. The states
have no greater duty than to remedy
this condition by wise ALLEGATION OF
road funds between main highways
and secondary roads.

Relatives Often
To Blame for
Nerve Cases
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association

Inconsistencies, psychasthenics and
nerve" patients Of all sorts multiply
in these times OF stress and turmoil.
The word "neurasthenia" has become
trite. It represents the person who
suffers from inadequacy. but the con-
dition IS sometimes due to weakened
physical state which makes 1t impoS-
sible for the person to respond men,
tally to the strain of his situation.
The neurasthenic suffers with pain
in the back of the neck sometimes
described as a feeling Of tightness,
aches In the back. and he is likely to
feel tired invariably on getting up in
het morning and irritable to an ex-
IRENE at the end of the day.
DR.. w. H. Mayer emphasizes the
necessity of finding any psychic con-
flict or physical arrangement from
which these people suffer il the basic
cause Of the disturbace is to be elm
mated.
Moreover. it is necessary to have
record Of the constitution Of the pa
tent and of his family history to
make an accurate estimate of his con-
dition and the reasons for it.
Too often the relatives and asso-
ciateS of a person who is neurasthenic
or psychasthenic. failing to see any
visible abnormality, credit his condi-
ton to his Imagination. which merely
accentuates it. Such people need hui
man understanding.
Above all, they must regain the con-
fidence they have lost or they will
progress to the point at which they
no longer can be held responsible for
their actions.
The psychiatrists use the term
anxiety state" to describe the condi-
ton into which the neurasthenic
passes in times of stress.
Sometimes a minor disturbance of
the heart or Of the stomach and in
testines becomes the physical disease
on which the mental state of the in
dividual is fixed.

chology OF Sigmund Freud character

AMERICANS IN BATTLE

AMERICANS IN 0AA ALE
On April 20, 1918. two regiments Of
German storm troops attacked Amer
lean forces holding the village Of
Sehheprey, in the Toul sector, and
succeeded in taking the outskirts Of
the town.
A counter-attack by American troops
recovered their old positions, but only
after the fiercest fighting in which U.
S. soldiers had been engaged.
An official German bulletin an
nounced that 1873 American prisoners
had been taken and estimated total
losses to the q. 8. troops at nearly
1000. Pershing estimated the Ameri-
can loss at 300 and the German at
more than twice that figure.
Meanwhile, German attacks In the
Lys sector continued with great vio-
lence, Small gains were made. but
