Famous old Dr, Samuel Johnson! had a similar habit. In taking a walk he ‘could not “resist hitting each icket of a fence with his cane, Some- he wrote, it became an ob- on with him that he had missed a picket. Then he would walk back several blocks and ‘hit the annoying picket with great satisfaction. Every one, at some time or other,) has peculiar impulses of this sort./ Few stop to analyze them. ‘Those absurd impulses or habits are mild symptoms of psychasthenia, ac- cording to Dr. Abraham Myerson, who teaches neurology in Tufts Me- dical School. | Psychasthenia, says Dr. Myerson,’ is A :disease—one of the forms of nervous and mental disorders which the: public’ calls “nervousness” and the’ scientist calls “psychoncurosis.” | Generally these peculiar impulses can’ be eliminated by will power.’ Every onc has them. at times, so no use’ worrying about them. We all have “crazy moments.” Psychasthenia, however, can devel- op into a decidedly diseased condi- tion that interferes with happiness and efficiency. ; In the background is the Disease of Fear. i In advanced cases, fear becomes an extreme dread “of closed places, of ‘being alone, of dirt, of disease, all kinds and manners of situation.” Ih extreme psychasthenia, says Dr.’ Myerson, the difficulty of mak-/ ing; up the mind—of deciding—be-' comes so great that a person may, suffer an agony of internal debate about, crossing the street, putting on the clothing, eating the meals— in fact, about every detail of acting and thinking. | Do The. scientist who specializes on abnormalities of the body’s endocrine glands steps in and says that fear is! the result of imperfect functioning of ;the adrenal glands, attached to the kidneys. Opposed to him is the mental scien- tisf Who claims that it’s the other way around, that mental disorders cause the glandular “acting up.” — | Regardless of which is right, it is a good thing that attention is finally _being paid to mental health as well as bodily health. We live in a high-| ly inervous age, with many times more insane people outside asylum| walls than within. | NATURE PROVIDES Any North Dakotan who is inclin- ed'to be pessimistic probably will cheer-up during the coming fall and winter. While his friends down east are erying for coal and very likely, in spite of Mr. Hoover's efforts, pay- ing a high price for it because the dethand will exceed the. supply, he will be able to keep warm with fuel| that nature has provided almost. lit- erdlly'at-his front door.

There is, scientists tell us, an’ almost illimitable supply of lignite coal in North Dakota. It can warm the home, keep the wheels of indus- try turning.

And when science} has shown how to make briquettes and compress the heat units it sure- ly will become a great industry. MARS The mysterious radio messages, which Marconi thought might bel from Mars are traced to their| soaree. They were sent out by Dr.| Irvitig Langmuir, from the General] Electric laboratories at Schenectady, N.'Y. The wave length was 150,000 meters.

Erskine found himself in the moonlight on the big portico with Colonel Dale alone. “Eyskine* he said, “you make it very difficult for me to keep your secret. It was a boyish impulse of generosity which made you give this estate to Barbara—” “Never,” interupted the boy. “tL have no use—less than ever now.” “Barbara would not accept your sacrifice nor would any of us, and it is only fair that I should warn you that some day, if you should change your mind, and I were no longer living, you might be too “Please. don’t, Uncle Harry.

The story is by Lewis Al- len_ Browne and Alan Crosland and was written specially as a starring vehicle for Miss Hammerstein. Alan Crosland also directed, “Why Announce Your Marriage?” is a serio-comedy which deals with the ultra-modern method of separat- ly maintained establishments by the contracting parties in marriage. Of course the practice of secretly wed- ding and living apart is not ‘yet in general practice and it is this fact alone which makes the nature of the story novel and therefore of good photoplay material. The novelty of the subject matter and the humorous manner in which the story unfolds makes this one of the most \absorb- ing of the many fine photoplays in which Miss Hammerstein has ap- peared.
