We permit some mischief making

without adjusting it to our other
ideas and to the facts of life as
we are obliged to experience them.
Then an anxiety develops, q feA'
a sense of helplessness, or feeling
of failure. These psychological dis
tresses are very likely to manifest
themselves in physical distresses.
One night Charlie arranged a
birthday party for his mother. The
house was all decorated, the ice
cream ordered, and the guests as
sembled But when Charlie entered
the house he found the people in
tears.
His brother. he was told, had
been crushed against the wall of
a building by a car driven by
drunken students. 1t was only about
two minutes before the accident oc-
Cured that Charlie had parted from
his brother.
When he heard the story he
gave q jump and began to trem-

tlnued at intervals for days. Then
he had an attack of grippe lost
more than 80 pounds in weight
Lest the desire for food, became
greatly weakened, and felt unable
to work at his job.
There were other elements in the
situation. Although the man was
43 years old, he was not married
There was possibly a mother COM
plex. He had personal problems OF
a somewhat critical kind to reckon
with.
The important point is that here
was a man of almost middle life
who had never got himself thor
oughly in hand emotionally. He
was emotionally unstable, and in
need of emotional re-education. He
needed to acquire a self-maStery
that would enable him to meet
an emotional shock, even a severe
one, without being thrown into such
nervous and physical reactions that
followed the death of his brother
After a long session with psy-
chotherapist he attended a Glass
in Thought Control weekly for
about half a year. After that he
returned to work, and in later re-
ports declared himself to be doing
we'll.
What was he taught at the
Thought Control class? He was
taught that if life is to be lived
healthily and happily and sturaily
it is necessary to have ones
thoughts and emotions and alc.-
ones habits of nervous reaction
under intelligent conscious control
He was taught that emotional dis
sipation can have bad an effect

He was taught the necessity 81

Sheriff Charles w. Moore said he
saw the shooting and that it was
done by Arch Bishop. Al. whom he
disarmed Immediately and placed
in jail Sheriff Moore reported that
Bishop admitted the Staying. He
was held without charge.
Sheriff Moore said the grand jury

with Gibson's firing a shot into an
automobile occupied by Bishops son.
The officer said no one was wounded
Bishop already had testified and
was waiting in a courthouse corridor
when Gibson came out.
The sheriff said he could not
reach Bishop in time to prevent the
shooting. Gibson, Sheriff Moore
added, was unar1ned.
The alleged killer was placed in
the same Jail from which Gibson S

find some way to straighten this

"I'm Rene's wife!" The words
would stick in her throat. She
thought of showing him the mar

Later, he said: "I'm going to give
you your ring for Christmas, Lynn,
an emerald. I know just what it
should be-" he said looking at her
ringless hands which seemed made
for fine jewels. "We're going to be
