(.if) There's a reason why people give those "nightmare" neckties for. Christmas. It's the same reason, a psychological one, which impels friends or relatives to give you caramels when they know they'll plague your false teeth, or prompts homely girls to give par ticularly nauseous perfumes to beauties. Dr. Robert N. McMurry, psy chologist on the staff of the Chi cago Central Y. M. C. A. col lege, said today that "uncon scious hostile impulses" were partly to blame for the giving of gifts not always appreciated. "All too often," he explained, "the object of respect, admira tion and even love is also the object of envy, rivalry, fear and hotred. The only difference is that the respect, admiration and love are conscious, while the less admirable sentiments, being regarded as ignoble, have been repressed, put out of mind, buried in the limbo of the un conscious. "But these hostile, aggressive impulses, although no longer conscious, have 'not ceased to strive for satisfaction. Being de nied direct expression, they seek a round-about satisfaction. The result is a compromise. T he object of these uncharitable ! sentiments is not attacked open ly the individual's conscience will not permit this. "Instead, at Christmas time or at a birthday or wedding, a gift ir chosen, which, while super ficially the expression of very j noble sentiments, contrives at ! the same time to attack, injure or frustrate the recipient." However, Dr. McMurry said, no one should get peeved about such gifts because actually the giver is not conscious of the mo tivating subconscious impulses and neither is the recipient.

W) Netherlands planes fought an air battle with aircraft of un determined foreign nationality today in full view of hundreds of residents of Utrecht. The en gagement started about poon.

Heavy firing was heard from anti-aircraft guns and plumes of smoke from shells were seen. An official of a nearby village reported sighting eight or nine planes, but other reports told of only two or three. A short time earlier three for eign military planes had been sighted over Veluwe in the bor der province of Gelderland, which is north of Essen, Ger many.

Lieflandcr, 36, Ger man sailor from Danzig, in municipal court on a charge of illegal entry into the United States, told Judge John L.

Lleflander will be taken to New York for a hearing before Immigration authorities. Weather, except in the cases of some species of ducks and geese, has nothing to do with the migration of birds to the south each year. Instinct, it is conceded, la the cause of the migration.
