FREEDOM CAUSE OF INSANITY - Mental Disease Prevalent In Russia After the Revolution Is Termed “Mass Psychosis.” The Russian revolution has produced a mental disease which {8 character- tzed by Prof. P. J. Rosenbach, presi- dent of the Association of Phychiatr-- ists, as “mass psychosis.” In other words, the birth of . political freedom has been driving many persons insane. It is a mistake to assume that war makes sane men mad, according to Professor Rosenbach, who says that during the war he has treated betweea 8,000 and 7,000 insane soldiers, but that in no case did he discover that the victim’s mental affliction had been eaused by war horrors'or privations. During the first month of the revolu- fion the rate of morbidity from mental disease rose to an astonishing extent. Professor Rosenbach inquired into the victims’ antecedents and found, he says, that these men and women had Deen entirely normal and that they did not come from tainted families, He ascribes their sudden insanity to the sudden and drastic changes in Russian political, soclal and Intellectual life. One of the symptoms of “mass psy- chosls,” he says, i3 “infatuation with committees, delegations and demon- strations.” Similar phenomena were observed during the French revolution after the war of 1870-T1, Professor Rosenbach observes. ‘Cave Men In America. The cave man has long been sup- posed to have lved only in the old world, and if the term is used to mean the very primitive species of homo sapiens, this fs true. Explorations made in Kentucky this year by scien- tists of the American museum, how-, ever, show that primitive men did live fn caves in America. In the Mammoth eave and others they found unmistak- able evidence that the mouths of the Kentucky caverns were used as dwell- ing places and that the Indians ex- plored the caves and mined quartz in them. This is especially interesting because it is known that Indlans did s — Matches Scarce In England. A grave allegation of profiteering in matches at the expense of-the public,” according to- the London Chronicle, was made against wholesalers and re- tallers by an official of a match fac- tory. “recently. He explained that the chief causes of the -present shortage were the stoppage of -the importation of foreign supplies and the require- wents of the ars:y. Good-by Leather Shoes. Z "l'he leather shoe is becoming 80 ex- pénsive ‘that it will soon be out of the reach of all but the rich; therefore, according to Andrew H. Klng. writing in Metallurgical and Chemical En, neering, its place is to/be tnken.fii shoes’ with soles of rubber and uppers of canvas. . The properly made rubber sole, into which ground cotton waste and leather dust are incorporated, will outwear two or three leather soles and will not slip on wet pavement. g Russia’s Platinum Production. The production of platinum in the Ural district in Russia in 1916 is esti- mated by a correspondent of the-Lon- don Mining Journal at only 78,674 troy ounces, against 107,774 ounces in 1915; 156,774 ounces in 1914, 179042, ounces in 1913 and 175,381 ounces in 1912, The decrease last year extend- ed to nearly all the districts, but was most marked on the Demidov estates and the Shuvalov placers. The short- age of labor has been one of the causes of the decrease. The fact that all crude platinum is now requisitioned by the government has led, it is belleved, to the concealment of some quantities, 80 that the figures given are below the real output. A considerable quantity of crude platinum is understood to be held by Russian banks, which ad- vanced money to the producers before the metal was taken by the govern- ment. not live In this region after its discov- | i ery by white men. The American cave dwellers, therefore, must have || belonged to an earlier period. CLASSIFIED| FOR SALE FOR SALE—Household goods at public auction Saturday afternoon, Oct. 6, at 411 Minnesota Ave. M.
