Ochsner, a noted physician in an address to the Chicago Medical Society, elucidates the complexities that bring about the "ohronic grbuch." He designates it as "fatigue intoxication" brought about by modern life. He illustrated with nictures show ing men and women with mouths j drawn down and others with odd smiles. "The disease attacks only those mentally and physically alert who turn out prodigious amounts of work?for a time," said Dr. Ochsner. "It cuts down a class of men and women who are of gbeat value to the community at a time when, through experience and with ripened years and judgment, they would otherwise have reached their period of highest capability. "I can often diagnose the disease through lack of co-ordination of muscles, causing the patient to hesitate and waver, by a continuous smile and by a drawing down of the corners of the mouth. The grouch is a victim of high-tension nerve force in his work."

Thereafter the task of keeping his fence in repair consumed the whole of his waking hours, so that he felt a criminal when he purloined. 15 minutes in which to swallow his lunch. He was but dim'y conscious of the existence of his fellows; he learned to think of fence repairing as the chief end of man, and died while splicing two strands of wire.

Chicago is the home of about 10,000 professional criminals, or about onethird of one per cent, of the city's i population, according to estimates of the Chicago crime commission, made pubiic recently. The reason for such an unprecedented number of law-breakers here is ascribed by the crime experts to the slowness with which the wheels of justice are set in motion and the small number of convictions. As proof of their contention that speedy justice reduces ciime. the commission cites statistics showing that [when an effort wan made to clear the | murder docket, twelve were sentenced I to hang and twelve given jail sentences.

Within this ministry a political department will be organized under the personal presidency of the minister of the interior, who is now Felix Djcrjinsky, ex-president of the chcka. The chcka was formed not long after the Rolshevik took control of Russia in 1917, and has functioned as the arm of the government under which all counter-revolutionary movements have been stamped out. | GIRLS WORE BREECHES And tho School Principal Promptly Sent Them Home., War further to safeguard advancing prerogatives of the female?specifically, the right to wear knickerbockers where and when they please?loomed in raterson, New Jersey, Tuesday.

EGGS AND CHICKENS ON DECLINE Fathers and Sons Attend Annual Y. M. C. A. Banquet?American Legion P vn?rL? ? P.nnv/?ntinn?Other News and Notes of the Metropolis of York County. (By a Staff Correspondent). Rock Hill, February 25.?The secret advertising committee of the Rock Hill /Merchants' association, it is understood, is confronted with a rather ticklish problem relative to school publications. The senior class of Winthrop college taps the local merchants every year rather heavily for advertising for its Xnnual. The mer i; II tin LH UUI1 I UllJUtt IU liiui j, because the Wtnthrop students Bpend thousands of .dollars with the merchants here in the course of a year. This year the graduating class of Wlnthrop Training school decided that they too would get out an Annual, in which would be recorded the acts of fame intellectually and athletically of the boys and girls who graduate from that school. So they have struck the merchants for advertisements in their annual. Most of the merchants, despite the fact that they knew good and well the adyertiaing wasn't worth shucks, because the annual will have no circulation and further because it is more of a child's hobby than anything else, allowed themselves to be taxed, although with much grumbling. It is admitted hero in some quarters that there is considerable rivalry between the Rock Hill High school and ^Vinthrop Training school and the High school students, not to be outdone by the Training school students, have come to the conclusion that their graduating clafts must get out an Annual too. They too, noting the success the Training school students had In taxing the merchants with a goodly portion of the cost of publication, arc Calculating on working the same racket. But the merchants have heard about it and most of them have come to the conclusion that they are going lo turn the so'leitors down cold. While the matter of an Annual is all right, some of them said today, the merchats are not doing a land offlrf business these days and they are not (luBh with money for use for advertising purposes, especially where the advertising cannot have any great pulling power.
