that in the majority of individuals
the conflict between urge and inhibi-
ton persists in the dream.
IF my observations are confirmed it
may be deduced that the most moral
individual is he who awakens most
readily and promptly when the idea
to act in a criminal way forces the
gate of phantastic realization. Or the
most moral individual is he who in
the qualification of his personality
possesses the most vigorously resisting
upper strata, which are able effec-
lively to repress the deep-lying in
stinctive stratum of atavistic .ex-

DR.. DE- Sanctis says he has found 1t
possible to convert persons who never
| dream into true dreamers. He does
this by creating the will to dream"
He talks to them about dreams, their
importance and the scenes and ex-
periences found IN dreams.

DURHAM, N. c., June 2.-Dream-
ing about committing a crime is no
sign of criminal inclinations, pro-
vided the dream awakens you. And
the more promptly you wake up
the higher is your moral character.
Dream studies to illustrate this
point are described by DR.. Sante de
Sanctis of Rome in Character and
Personality, an international scien-
tific journal published at Duke Uni
versity.
During the last few months" he
states, 81 have endeavored to induce
criminal dreams in young man of
good character and high moral stand
ards who did not know he was a sub
ject of experiment"
For two hours each night before
this young man went to sleep Dir.
de Sanctis talked to him. Always
he spoke of newspaper stories about
poisoning and stabbing affrays. In
each story he discussed how it might
feel if the young man himself had
been participant.
This was continued for eight nights.
On two nights the young man dream
ed about crimes. One was by poison
ing; the other about stabbing. The
dreams woke him up. He did not
dream Of himself as the principal in
the crimes. But In one he became so

Most of the trouble with headlights
is due to the lamps being out of focus,
but occasionally enc runs up against
cases where the quality of the lights
isn't up to snuff. This calls for a
careful cleaning of the refectors. The
safest method is to dust with soft,
clean cloth, but sometimes it is neces-
sary to apply a mixture Of lamp black
and pure alcohol, rubbing the surface
gently. Recently I noticed a case
where the polishing didn't last. This
was traced to the gaskets around the

allowing dirt and dampness to get in

Service Station Employe Finds One Cause Of
Clutch Trouble Is Drivers
Short Legs.

method of saving wood the other
day to explain to friend what the
differential stands for in her car.
He had lacked up one of the rear
wheels. attached special pulley and
was driving the buzz saw with long
belt. Only one of the rear wheels
revolved, the woman with me OBJ
served. How come?
The differential is a set of special
gears which permit power to be
switched to one rear wheel when the
other wheel is prevented from turning
or is slowed down Such variations
in the speed of the wheels will occur
as they traverse rough places in the
road, as the brakes are applied and
when the car goes into a curve. If
both rear wheels were lacked up my
friend could stop either one of them
by merely grasping its tire. But she
could not stop both rear wheels
simultaneously when the motor drives
them.
The inner rear wheel on curve
is like the inside man of a line of
soldiers. It has to mark time
Meanwhile the outside wheels must
travel further, faster. All this ad-
iustment is automatically taken care
of by the differential.
While 1t Is true that a driver should
always be careful not to engage the
clutch too hastily it does not neces-
sarily follow that if the rear end
makes a clicking sound when the
car is started the differential is be-
ing punished. Most of this noise
originates at the rear wheels where
they are driven onto the ends of the
axleS. These axleS are tapered and
fit into the wheels like the stopper
of a vinegar cruet. The fit has to
be unusually tight You would think
they were trying to wreck your car
could you see them removing rear
wheel. Front wheels do not fit the
same way because they do not have
to take the driving strains.
Now that practically all the oil
companies market gasoline contain

knock purposes many motorists are

justified that there are many points
around the motor where reddish de-
posits evidence themselves. This
coloring matter is used to distinguish
anti-knocx gas from the usual run.
and its depositing means nothing
except possibly the fact that you are
getting the kind Of gas you asked for.
Since anti-knock fuel became so
universally used there has been a
tendency to 60 unusually long periods
without having carbon scraped out
and the valves reconditioned. The
theory of leaving well enough alone
appears to be due for some criticism,
for in almost all cases of such neglect
service men tell me that owners have
also neglected to have the spark plugs
replaced. the oil filter renewed and
the breaker points looked over.
