May Be A Clue To A Mental Con dition; Sometimes It Becomes A Disease. • \ Raleigh. Nov. 29.— Why does a wo man • cross the street? A cmcaen crosses the street to get to the other side, but a human being may cross he street for almost any reason out of a multitude, says Dr. C. C. Taylor dean of the N. O. State College gradu ate school and student of psychology. Crossing the street seems to be just a simple and insignificant act, but it may give the psychopathologist a clue regarding a mental condition which may later develop into actual disease. Such was the case with a North Carolina woman who always crossed the street at a certain block in or der, as she said, “to be in tne enaav Bide of the street.” A skilled psy chologist, however found the real mo tive in the fact that once she had been frightened by a dog on the street. “The subconscious is the great store house of motives for our acts and thoughts- It supplies the secret spring of conduct,” Dr. Taylor says. “And it is not known to us until after a phychologist , has examined our mind and found what motives we have stored away there. “But the popular notion is that every act has been consciously willed. So fact and fancy are reconciled by figuring up some reason for the action after it has been completed. This aesignmen of motives to acts and opinions for which the person really has no conscious basis is termed ra tionalization. “Thi9 same women, for example, later took a-n intense dislike to an dogs and attributed the reason to the fact that they carry fleas and disease and are generally unsani tary. But the real basis for this dislike lay in her subconscious and was the result of her fright and her attempts to forget it.” A little later she subconsciously symbolized her painful experience and rationalized it by not eating “bot dogs.” OFFERS TO WED TO SAVE HOME Miner’s Daughter Wants Husband With $9,000 To Pay Her Fattier s Debts.

The other bills amount to $2,000. “So I want to know If you can’t help, me out?” the letter continues. “By that I mean to put an ad in the paper and say I will marry any man for $9,000 to save my parents from being thrown out of house and home. I am the oldest of eight children and I’ll willingly sacrifice myse’f for that amount just to save them from ruin My right name and ad dress is Miss Mary Lazuske, 1010 street, Frackville, Pa.” All-Star Major League Baseball Team Is Chosen.

Nov. 28.—1 t took six policemen and a mirror to con vince Henry Haines, a local filling station manager, that he wasn’t shot in the neck by a bandit who held him up today.

BTH : \ Members of Suez Temple, Knights of Khorassan, Are Making the Final Arrange ments for Celebration. The annual Fall Ceremonial of the Sue* Temple No. 73, Dramatic Order Knights of Khorrasan, will be in Charlotte Thursday, .December Bth, it was announced Tuesday , and many Dokies from this section are making plans to attend the event. Many business matters will be giv en attention at the Ceremonial, in cluding the election of officers. Offi cers who are now serving are: Ben E. Douglas, Royal Vizier, Charlotte: J. Wallace Smith, Grand Emir, Char lotte ; A. E. Stewart, Sheik, Char lotte; Edgar W. Pharr, Mahedi, Char lotte ; Scott Gibson, Secretary, Char lotte ; J. Arthur Eagle, treasurer, Charlotte; T. J. Maupin, Satrap, Sal isbury ; W. T. Rowland, Sahib, Char lotte. The business session will begin promptly at 2 :30 p. m. It will be re called by all members of Suez Tem ple that until the 1926 Fall Ceremon ial there never had been an annual business sesion held on the anniver sary day. There was such an appeal made last year by the out-of-Char lotte membeft for the annual business session on this Day until a vote of the Temple was called for, this result ing the consolidation of these two im portant annual meetings. This year there will probably be as much as a fifty per cent, increase in atendance at the business meeting. There seems to be greater interest at this time in the big day than is or dinarily manifested at this stage of the game. Committees sent from the Temple to visit the Pythian Lodges within the oasis of Suez have report ed very great enthusiasm on the part of the Dokies in their Pythian Lodges. The necesity of the Officers of the Temple Keeping in direct contact with the parent order is being stress ed more and more each year. Bearing in mind that only a Knight of Pyth ias can make application to the Tem ple for membership, one is lead to un derstand the importance of mutual interest and activity. A real live and enthusiastic Dokie should indicate a useful Pythian and on the other hand a faithful Knight is without doubt the man who can best serve the Temple. Suez Temple will at this Ceremon ial, as is its custom, come together for a grand dinner and general member- 1 to-member social. Dokies from the various Cities over the territory have from time to time aided the Officers of the Temple, giv ing ideas whjch are incorporated en tirely or partially into the program for the Ceremonial Day. A great deal of work is yet to be done in order that there may be a class of Tyros suffi cient to satisfy the Royal Beast. Ev ery Dokie should be on his toes for Fresh Meat. The Divan of the Temple is having a meeting Monday at one o’clock at Efird’s dining room for the purpose of checking up on the committees. The Zouaves are meeting every Monday night in Castle Hall completing their work for the final Day. Following is the program for Thurs day, December Bth, 1927: 12-i—Registration of Dokies and Tyrofi, Pythian Castle Hall. 2 :^0 —Annual Busines Meeting and Election of Officers, Castle Hall. 3:cl0 —Ritualistic Work, Pythian Castlfe Hall. 7 :00 —Dinner, Efird’s Dining Room. 7 :00 —Theatre party for out of Town Women. 8:00 —Eighth Order Work —Pythian Castle Hall. 10 :00—Grand Dokie Dance —Ball Room Hotel, Charlotte. FEATURES OF NEW FORDS NUMEROUS; BE SHOWN FIRDAY Four-Wheel Brakes, Stan dard Gears and Speed of Sixty Miles an Hour Fea tures of New Model. Four-wheel brakes, standard selec tive gear transmission, extraordinary acceleration, a speed of sixty miles an hour and more, a practically vibration less engine, and unusual beauty in line and color are among the out standing features of the new Ford cars, the first of which wil be shown in many parts of the country next Friday. The generator, oiling system, steering gear and real axle are of new Ford design, it is announced. And its 40-horsepower engine has been so de signed that it runs 20 to 30 miles an hour on a gallon of gasoline. This car, which is to succeed the famous Model T line, will be shown on Friday by Ford dealers in many of the larger cities of the country. In Concord photographs and descriptive charts of the new cars wil be on dis play at Reid Motor Co., showrooms, where the public will be given the complete story of the first new Ford car. Later various models of the new Ford line will be on display here. So far the new- cars have been ex amined only by those who will have charge of the first showings and demonstrations. Salesman and demon strators are studying charts and diagrams which will be used in ex plaining the various details of de sign, appearance and performance. For months factory models of the new’ car have been undergoing severe performance tests in and around De troit. One of these factory models re cently made a road run of 120 miles in 124 minutes. This run, it is said, was made on an ordinary paved highway near Detroit. Local dealers, in commenting on the forthcoming show, said their first view of the new Ford car has substantiated Henry Ford’s statement that “there is nothing quite like it in quality and price.” ‘‘Mr. Ford's statement had prepared us fior a surprise,” said a local dealer, “but the new Ford car is better even than we had hoped for. It is certain to make history in the automobile in dustry, just as its predecessor, the famous Model T, has made history for twenty years. We are proud of the new car and feel certain that its ap pearance and performance will at tract unprecedented attention among automobile owners.” Mrs. Hook in HospitaL 1 Charlotte News.
