HURTY’S btbIIE American people are rapidly going crazy, VIEW ON ' I says Dr. J. N. Hurtv, nationally known InSANITY jL dianapolis authority on medical affairs. Some trill comment 1 “Going? They’re already bughouse.’ ’ “Americans are fast becoming a race of morons, imbeciles and maniacs,” Dr. Ilurty comments in discouragement. He thinks, in another hundred years, there will not be a sane person in the country. Cheer up, Doctor. Feeble-mindedness and maniacal hysteria are pandemic in these United States. But that’s because the war left us in a highly-strung nervous condition. In time we’ll settle down to normal. Are headed that way now. And normal is sanity. The craziest ones never are locked up in the asylums. That’s because sanity and insanity are vague terms that cannot be accurately defined, except that average mentality is sanity and that insanity is a deviation from the normal —above or below. The greatest scientists of Europe, or at least most of them, thought Columbus was crazy when he argued that the earth was round instead of fiat. (Accepting hearsay evidence, we now know it’s round.) It’s only a few decades since nearly every one in America thought the Wright Brothers had “bats in the belfry” because they insisted that it was possible for man to fly through the air like a bird. A man may be crazy by one standard, and sane by another. In grading mentality, most of us are like the soldier who said: “Everybody’s out of step but me.” An English brain specialist, writing in London Daily Mail, says one of the commonest forms of insanity is the arrest or short-circuiting of the basic human instincts in the individual. For instance, our most powerful control is the instinct of self-preservation. When we fail to respond to that instinct, and contemplate suicide, we are on the borderland of insanity. We also are crazy, more or less, when we fail to respond normally to the domestic instinct, the herd or social instinct and the normal expression of the religious instinct. Chronic gloominess, bad temper, defects of memory, premature inferences and extravagant imaginings—ail these are mild forms of mental derangement, says the English specialist. He adds: “Gullibility is also an indicator of weak thought. As regards the affections, the well-balanced mind shows more likes than dislikes, more friendliness than hatred, more sympathy than antipathy.” PARTING TTOC’VE got to hand it to A1 Fall, dust as he SHOT BY goes out the Cabinet, he feels twinge of AL FALL X remorse over the giving away of the great naval oil reserve in Wyoming, which has been handed one Sinclair of Wall street, and which is now calmly invoiced at $100,000,000! So he gets his friend, Mr. Harding, to “set aside” 35.000 square miles of territory for another “Naval Oil Reserve!” Think of it! Thirty-five thousand miles. True, A1 tells us in his announcement that this vast area consists wholly of “flat, frozen, grassy tundra, devoid of vegetation and entirely within the Arctic circle,” for we forgot to tell you that'this new naval oil reserve which A1 and Mr. Harding have granted us. is just a few blocks south of the polar ice barrier, on the north coast of Alaska! Not a blamed thing but a few musk oxen can live on the land and fur-bearing seals and walruses in the waters about it. But A1 has a sense of humor, ne concludes as follows ; “This reservation is for oil and gas only and will not interfere with other use of lands within the area!” No banana orehardists need apply.

Spring Calls Hobo King, A-No. 1, But Cupid and Wife Keep Him at Home

Former Famous Tramp Is Now Author and Publisher.

BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT NEA Staff Correspondent txRIE, Pa.. Marc 1 1 9—A Short I gray-haired man, with pink cheeks reflecting perfect health, his carriage and clothes giving a dignified air of prosperity, is a frequent visitor at the local railroad yards right now. He watches with interest the switching crews making up trains for California, for Canada, for Florida. Occasionally his keen eyes catches sight of a tramp ‘‘en route." He manages to engage the wanderer in conversation. Perhaps the hol.o is a youngster, fired with an ambition to see tHe world. After this conversation, the youth is most likely to leave the “rods” weeping and. with money from his new friend, take the train home. Perhaps the wanderer is an old time hobo, one of those “chained to the road." Then there is likely to be a joyful meeting and an invitation to the well dressed chap to join in a trip. But all pleadings are in vain—-“A-Xo. 1,” most famous hobo of all times, is through wandering! Thirty years or more of wandering roils the blood of A-No. 1 every spring. But he’s now Leon Ray Livingston, author and publisher, so eaeli year, after a hard struggle, he wins his battle against the lure of the road. “Don't you worry for f.-ar he'll not be able to resist his ‘itching feet’?” his attractive wife is asked at this time. “Ho loves his family too much,” is her prideful answer. And such Is the change Dan Cupid has wrought in the famous hobo.

‘VETS’ OF SOUTH m HARDING SH 10 MIR REUNION Break Precedent by Inviting Union Army Officers to Gathering. Bu NEA Service NEW ORLEANS, March 9.—For the first time in their history, the United Confederate Veterans have invited representatives of the Union Army, which opposed them In the Civil War, to attend their thir-ty-fourth annual reunion here April 11, 12 and 13. The Union veterans invited are Dr. George T. Harding, father of the President, and < oi. George B. Christian, Sr., father of the President's secretary. The invitation was extended to them by Capt. James Dinkins, chairman of the general committee. The invitation to the elder Harding j and Christ inn was sent after President i Harding had found it impossible to be pres- nt. The sentimental effect of their attendance will perhaps be even greater than would the presence of the President himself. 50 000 Expected Tho thirty fourth reunion is expected to be attended by 50,000 visitors. The election of anew commander-in-chief and tho selection of tho next reunion city are expected to develop into hot contests. Gen. James A. Thomas of Dublin, Ga„ commander of the Army of Tennessee, is being mentioned as a strong candidate for the post of commander. This season’s debutate daughters of the w.-althiest and most, prominent of 'old southern families are being selected to make this. perhaps the last of the old Confederate reunions, the most memorable one In point of entertainment and comfort.
