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

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!

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 attaches, It was said, will

and DC-3's.
The two members of the mis
sion who remained in Spain,
Civil Aeronautics Administra
tor Charles I. Stanton and
Frank Novingcr of the CAA, re
portedly are discussing with
Spanish officials what cities
American planes may land in,
under what conditions they may
land, uniform safety standards
and other technical matters.
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.
