The explosion theory was dis

that recovery of a wing section

Inferiority Complexes Can Be Asset
If They Are Accepted AS Challenges

riority feelings are based upon
imaginary weaknesses and arise
because the individual has the
habit of falsely estimating his
own powers.
Much of the work of getting
one to overcome this inferiority
sensation comes from the job of
encouraging the individual to
forget all about his false esti-
mate of his abilities to such an
extent that he is able to go ahead
and do his best, being firmly con-
vinced in advance that his best
will be good. enough.
There are two ways of meeting
the situation. The first way is to
put forth an extra effort and to
turn the real or imagined weak
ness into point of strength. For
example, one having a defect in
speech might go ahead and take
lessons in public speaking and
become an orator. That is the
way of compensating for weak
ness by turning it into strength.
The second way is to ignore the
weakness and to go ahead and
develop strength in some other
direction-preferably in the direc-
ton in which your greatest tai
ents lie. Abraham Lincoln is a
good example of the second
method. Undoubtedly, he felt
greatly Inundated by his home
liness and realized with pain that
he had been nicknamed THE Illi-
nois Ape" However, he used the
spur of physical inferiority as a
spur to drive him forward in other
directions. That represents about
as good use as a human being
may make of an inferiority COM
plex, and when it is used in that
way, happiness and satisfaction
may be won.

State Senator's
Death Looked
Like Suicide

had never known of the threaten
ing strain OF insanity which ran
in his family's blood. Sheer panic
gripped him and when he went to
his apartment that night, his
fathers warning must have
echoed and reechoed in his tired
brain. Finally, som e t hi ng
snapped. He took the gun from a
dresser drawer, pulled the trigger
and ended it all"
but what about the old mans
fingerprints on the gum"
Easy, ridiculously easy" re-
torted Mat Henderson, as the jig
saw puzzle was rapidly assuming
shape under his tireless hands.
"You see, Jim, with true fatherly
anxiety, Alfred Shores returned
to his sons apartment and when
he found that he was too late to
avert a tragedy, he cunningly
wiped his sons fingerprint from
the gun, substituting his own and
changing the position of the gun
in the dead mans hand, knowing
that not the slightest suspicion
would ever be cast on him. And
so, what was made to look like d
murder mystery turned out to be
nothing but a simple case of sui
eide"
But l still can't understand
why the old man should have
done all this" commented Chief
Morris.
That" replied Mat Henderson
as he carefully fitted the remain
ing piece into the puzzle before
him, "is easily explained. First
of all, it was the fierce pride of
sturdy pioneer stock whose code
precluded taking ones own life.
He didn't want that kind of a
slur cast on the family tradition.
Secondly, and quite naturally, he
was afraid that if the suicide
theory were to be investigated, it
might have been brought to light
that hereditary insanity lurked in
the shadows of the Shores family
tree"
We'll, I'll be hanged" whis-
pered the chief.
Perhaps" was the detectives
comment. But not for the muir

my methods, why have you come
to me?
Because 1 need your help. We
are up against a brick wall. All
we've been able to discover is
that the fingerprints on the gun

YOU. Jim, is that you and your
kind overlook the seemingly un-
important facts. For instance,
YOU wonder how l knew that the
Shores case was murder. I'll tell
YOU. AS soon as I heard the
radio alarm, l went over and saw
the body before the coroner nad d
chance to get there. Apparently
l was the only one to notice that
the dead mans middle finger and
not his index finger was resting
against the trigger. No normal

fond of hunting as Shores was,

"You seem to have the case all

various parts of the earth with
strange manifestations-and most
amazing of all, no one knows
where these unwanted hordes

During summer months near
Fort Williams, Ontario, Canada
there are occasional armies of
caterpillars which crawl across
the countryside, in some places
several inches deep. And, these
caterpillar armies have stopped
trains-freight and passenger
until recently railroad officials
decided the only cure was to equip
engines with steam jets to clear
the rails; unless this succeeded
no train could run on schedule,
for the bodies of the insects made
rails so slippery that the wheels
of the engine could not get pro-
per traction.
In Chicago there has been
known, during hot months, a sud-
den descent of frogs and sand
flies to make things uncomfort-
able. The frogs were green, small,
and likely leaping, apparently,
from nowhere to the streets and
endangering automobile traffic.
Tens of thousands of the tiny
creatures jumped before head
lights and caused traffic jams.
Sand flies filled the air
Where did these caterpillars,
frogs and sand flies come from?
Everyone asked the same ques-
ton, but no one had a satisfac-
tory answer. The most mysterious
invasion was that of the little
green frogs. Never before had
bands of frogs been known to
migrate even in the country
certainly not straight into city
streets.

scribe an inferiority complex is
to say that the one who feels
inferior has formed the habit of
comparing himself unfavorably to
others. The painful result of such
comparison may unquestionably
cause him to retreat farther and
farther into his shell.
Although he shows a consistent
lack of confidence in measuring
himself against others. it is not
until this lack of confidence be-
gins to bother him that he may
be said to have developed a real
complex One having a true infe-
riority feeling is continually both
cred by it. just as he would be
bothered by trying to walk with
a sharp pebble in his shoe.
More than fifty percent of the
population are influenced to some
degree by harmful feelings of in
feriority which make them un-
comfortable and which are all the
harder to pin down because they
are usually vague and indefinite.
The Individual who is disturbed
by an inferiority feeling often
has a very hard time saying just
exactly what it is that makes
him feel so inferior. When he
tries to put it into words he may
say that he just doesn't feel so
good as" others around him.
Sometimes an inferiority feel
ing is based upon an actual de.
feet, but usually the effect of this
shortcoming is exaggerated all
out Of proportion to the cause.
Thus. those who are shorter than
the average in height or those
having defects of sight, hearing
or teeth, may imagine that their
physical condition explains their
mental attitude of inferiority.

THOSE who can not rid them
selves Of feelings of inferiority
find life a much harder struggle
than it needs to be; however.
these people are usually gifted
with a delicacy of feeling and a
sensitiveness which their rougher
brothers and sisters lack, and
which when rightly used, can be
turned to great advantage.
Whether your inferiority COM
plex is to be a handicap or a help
depends largely upon you, and the
use you make of it. By accepting
it as a challenge, or as something
to be conquered or overcome, you
can make it into a great help.
Under such conditions you will
probably go farther with that cor
rected handicap than you would
have gone without lit.

see what that could have to do
with the case"
"Often the most unimportant
facts point to solution, Mr..

"Did it ever occur to you, sir,
that, since no one had a reason
for killing your son, the murder
might have been committed to get
even with you?"
Impossible. 1 have no enemies
who'd want to strike at me
through my son."
The detective smiled. mo man
who has accumulated your wealth
and social position is entirely free

from that, you are positive that

son for taking his own life?"
A startled expression stole into
the old mans face. "Of course,
