as of Old.

In accordance with an old French
custom, the "fete des rois," or the
festival of kings, was held Thursday
night at the meeting of the Alliance

Washington.
A large flat cake, known among
the French peasantry as La Ga

Mrs. Jeanne MorIock, was served
with wine, as the climax of the
festivity. Hidden within the cake
were small doll figures. Roland
Lambert received the first prize
from the cake, and, as king" Sc
lected Mrs Morlock as queen for the
ceremony. Other kings were Ed
ward A. Petri, who chose Mrs. L.

as queen, and Professor Clyde AID

Chamilovitch, Tudor Hall, as queen.
Explanation Of the fete was given
by Nine. Chamilovitch.
The "fete des rois' is the French
celebration Of the three mythical
kings, Caspar. Melchior, and Bal
thasar, whose story is older than
Christianity. The celebration las
taken on a Christian coloring, and
the three kings have become identi-
fed with the three wise men, who
made the pilgrimage to visit the
Christ child in Bethlehem.

Judge Joseph David granted a

Judge David denied a demand
that the state return the articles,

1t is not expected to be a real
factor in making the publishers
code, though publishers are likely
to insist on a free press clause.
That is because the MIRA is a

But anything the publishers

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
SECUTED BY DOCTOR
California Psychiatrist Terms Con-
dition Compromise.
BIZ United Press

DU L HtttU 1 ftco
BERKELEY, Cal, Jan. 6-There
is no such thing as a nervous
breakdown" DR.. M. G. Reid. Uni
versity of California psychiatrist,
claimed today.
Actually, DR.. Reid said, the con-
dition termed a breakdown" is a
mental compromise.
"A typical case that we have in
college the psychiatrist said, lis
the student who attempts to take
subjects in which he is uninter-
ested or for which he is mentally
unadapted.
Unable to force himself to give
the concentration to master these
subjects, he worries continually, and
at the approach Of finals he at
tempts to drive his brain and will
power.
The result from a case of this
kind is that the conscious mind is
determined to carry on, but the
unconscious mind rebels. The So
called nervous breakdown is
compromise. The individual saves
his face and the scorn of the world
is changed to sympathy and solicit
tation. This is an unconscious eva
sion Of Sponsibility."
Relaxation was cited by the psy-
chiatrist as an aid to overcoming
such conditions.

That means he can refuse to
allow certain companies to carry

censes. From such decision there
is no appeal, and fines of $500 a
