 Yes, those were the words permanent" and civilian" That let out the officer and his wife. It let out all the other servicemen and their wives in the overcrowd- ed town.

 Cancer is an uncontrolled, dis orderly growth of some of the cells composing the body. without check, this wild growth progresses faster than & new blood supply can be developed, and the lump becomes sore and ulcerates. Cancer can occur any place in the body, so that 1t almost immediately makes something 90 wrong in the affected part. Therefore, any abnormality, with or without pain, should be ex- amined professionally, if only to reassure the patient of his freedom from malignancy.

 The goblinS will getcha" this year if you forget to throw a Hollowe'e 'en party for servicemen and women. So mark Oct. 3l on your calendar as reminder that on that night you're going to make real contri- button to wartime morale-and get some fun out of it yourself.
 A telephone call to your USO club, the Special Service Officer or chap la:u at the nearest camp or training station, will assure you of capcity crowd.
 It's a good idea to put your in- genuity and a few yards of crepe paper to work so that your living room, church hall, or wherever you decide to have that party will pro- vide an attractive background for the fun. Dark crepe paper over the lights, some grinning jack O lant- erns, Q few friendly cardboard skel- etons and black and orange stream CTS hanging From the chandelier, will give you the traditional cheer ie-eorie effect.
 Dress up the refreshment table with a colorful paper cloth, nap kins and some crepe paper stream ets. But more than likely the guests will be most interested in what's on the table in the way of food.
 Be sure that you have plenty of everything and that you keep the refreshments easy-to-eat, unless you are planning to seat your guests. Platters of sandwiches, stuffed celry pickle, potato chips, pretzels, pop corn, fruit, candy, gallons of cider and stacks of doughnuts, are easy to prepare and are always enjoyed.
 If you want to do something ex- tra-special in the food line, try des- sert made by placing a ball of doughnut with bits of chocolate for eys. nose and mouth, capped off with an inverted empty ice

Army Doctors Find
Psychic Strain Causes
Mental Rheumatism
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Two Army
physicians, who investigated $50
soldiers cases diagnosed as arthritis,
have reported that one-third of
them were really caused by uncon-
scious mental and emotional trou-
bles.
They termed such q condition
"psychogenic rheumatism" and ex-
planned that the symptoms, such as
pain, stiffness, sense of swelling or
limitation of motion in muscles or
joints, actually were caused or in
tensified by mental influences.
Malingering Uncommon.
The condition was described in
the Journal of the American Med
ical Association by Capt. Edward
w. Boland and Col William P. Corr,
stationed at Hoff General Hos
pital In Santa Barbara, Calf.
I'm our experience, true malinger-
ing (feigning illness) has been un-
common in contrast to the frequen-
cy with which somatic (body) symp-
toms develop unconsciously as a

ant things associated with military
SERVICE" they wrote.
"Our attempts to salvage these
patients with psychogenic rheu-
matism and to return them to either
full or limited duty have been
largely unsuccessful. In many in
stances, the only solution rests in
the removal of the underlying men,
tai conflict, which can be accom-
plished by separating them from
military service"
Idea Comparatively New.
The physicians said that while
such functional or mental causes
have been increasingly recognized
in cases OF nervousness and even
heart and stomach disturbances, the
idea of psychogenic rheumatism
has not been widely appreciated.
The physicians said they did not
believe psychic conflicts may cause
real inflammatory joint disease, such
