Dr. Edwin Ash, a leading London authority on nervous! NOTHING troubles, has a lot of other doctors following him on a ition which he calls “autoism.” Most people are Rateeiniul, half-otherwise—“split personalities,” victims of a dual consciousness. Extreme case of “split personality” are RS: evidenced by epilepsy and “fits” of various sorts. Half of a 4 man’s brains may be entirely wrong and thus he may be at a one time one sor: of a fellow and at another time an entirely er different sort. : Spiritually speaking, we have long been convinced that some folks were half sinful, or more so, but there’s some movelty in the proposition that it is altogether a mere phys- ical condition. If the latter proves to be the case, it will not be long before doctors will be operating for it. \: cei a 0 OD TL Ge Ok Pe UNCLE SAM doesn’t know] PROMOTERS of the Wil- what to do with Cipriano Cas-| bur mine estimated its ore at ‘tro, ex-president of Venezuela.| 350 times what the experts Might let Andy Carnegie pen-} reported.
