OF Police Commissioner Blames Mass Hysteria Says Women Embroider Yarns Mattoon, 111., Sept. 11. (UP) Police Commissioner Thomas V. Wright tired of being aroused from his bed in the middle of the night "because some hysterical woman thinks she's been gassed" . said today that "there's more than one mad man in Mattoon, 1 there's 15,000 of them." "What we've got here is mass hysteria," Wright sighed. "Some woman feels faint and tells her neighbor about it embroidering it a bit, you know ho- women are. The neighbor tells her neigh bor and the first thing you know weve got women thinking they're being gassed all over the place." Final Straw Today With that statement, Wright attempted to bury the madman of Mattoon, that phantom crank chemist who has been spraying "gardenia gas" into bedroom windows causing his victims to feel partially paralyze.. "Today we have the final straw," Wright said. "A woman gets gassed in the middle of the Mattoon theater. No one else smells anything. But all of a sud den this woman screams 'I'm gassed.' We rush her to the hos pital. 'Nerves' said the doctor. "But I call it mass hysteria." Wright also said he was tired of hearing about white stains on shrubs. "Bug spray," he said. "That's all, bug spray. Wright said that the worst of it all as far as he is concerned is that he has to question everyone ? t f v. r a You're also in the Army now if you're behind the plow. Your name may not appear on the military muster rolls. But, definitely, the sol diers and the farmers are fight ing the same war. And there are certain re markable similarities in the way they're doing it. At the front and on the farm, they're using America's super-weapon gin genuity. The Army coined that term. It means ingenuity-plus. It means that when everything gets all busted to smithereens, the boys take a dingus off this wreck and a wbamdoodle off that gadget and they make something else work. That's gingenuity. Well, on the farm, things break down, too. And a lot of good it docs to write for re placements ! So the farmer takes a piece of old cream-separator and repairs a tractor. Or he takes a piece of old tractor and repairs the cream-separator. That's gingenuity, too. We'll skip the usual speech about food as a war-essential. For we figure that everybody who gets hungry at meal-time realizes all that. But we'd like tu remind you what war-time farming is. The hired man's in the A Navy. The truck's bust. The boy has gone and enlisted. A cow's sick, hut the vet's in the Army. The hardware store has just phoned doesn't have any. So the farmer is trying to run his own f.irm and maybe a soldier-neighbor's farm, too. Yet he manages. The farmer takes his battered self and makes two men of him. He takes each day and makes two days of it. Me runs that farm on nerve and gingenuity. And on the knowledge that he, too, ii in the Army, now! ft ii .mi" v. i i n J iii i ' PH. who thinks she has been a victim of the rambling anesthetist. Needs Sleep "They call me up all hours."

(UP) The stock market today began the new week with a rally under the leadership of American Tele phone & Telegraph capital stock and the aircraft group. Telephone, regarded as the bluest of the blue chips, ran up more than 2 points to within a point of its high for the year. Before telephone turned up the aircraft section was swinging into action in its best rally for many months. The new demand stimulated by these two depart ments influenced a rise in nearly all other sections of the market.

Spain Figures Prominently In America Aviation Plans By Charles Cordry United States Staff Correspondent Washington (U.R) Spain is developing modern aviation facil ities and should provide a good postwar market for American aircraft manufacturers, in the opinion of Civil Aeronautics Board Member Oswald Ryan, who returned recently from a civil air mission to Madrid. ' Ryan was one of thfee avia tion officials who flew to Spain to survey airports, meteorologi cal conditions, radio communi cations and air navigation facil ities after the State Department had concluded an "agreement in principle" under which Spain grants landing rights to American civil aircraft. He expressed the opinion that "Spain has made an excellent start toward establishment of modern civil aviation and plans are underway for its expansion. The State Department's re cent decison to name civil air attaches in several strategic em bassies was applauded by Ryan as "one of the most constructive measures taken for the advance ment of American aviation." Attaches will be stationed In London, Lisbon, Madrid, Cairo, Rio and Ottawa and later prob ably in the Far East, Australia, R u s s ia, and L a 1 1 n-American points.

The two members of the mis sion who remained in Spain, Civil Aeronautics Administra tor Charles I.

It was established meantime that British Overseas Airways officials have been in Spain to investigate tho possibilities of extending their London to Lis bon service to include Madrid and Barcelona. CAB officials noted that Spain figures prominently in three projected postwar U. S. routes: New York to Rome via Natal, Dakar and Madrid, and New York to Cairo via Lisbon, some points in Spain, Algiers and Tunis. LEFF Priratt Raymond R.

T"UE to circumstances beyond our control, wc know that many of our friends try to buy Olympia Beer and meet with disappointment. If you arc one of the thousands who prefer mild, light Olympia, wc suggest that you leave advance orders with your grocer, druggist, dispenser, or other retailer, who sells Olympia Beer by the bottle. Tavern dispensers frequently find themselves without a supply to accommodate the "carry away" trade. In such cases, try again. Wc are making a sincere and conscientious effort to distribute our supplies equitably to all retailers. OLYMPIA BREWING COMPANY OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON, U.S.A.
