WHAT IS ECONOMY ?

An article to be truly economical. is one that gives the greatest satisfaction for the least ultimate expense. In the case of eyewear and especially sunglasses the necessity of buying from a reliable distributor is obvious. Irres ponsible dealers soll a great quantity of blown glass spectacles which are rarely completely plain; it is these that cause headaches and in more extreme cases-aya díacasos.

ON PSYCHOLOGY

Large Gathering At The Helena May

A very Interesting lecture entitled" "Personal Inferiority-a Chronic Disaster" was given last evening by Mr. Harbert Sutcliffe D.SC.PIL. D. of England and Australia, at the Helens May Insiliute. Be commenced his lecture by speaking of the new psychology pioneered by three great men, Freud, Jung, and Alfred Adler of Vienna,

He explained bow an "inferiority complex" may develop through repression of two strong human emotions, the "power-urge" and the "sex-urge,” . -

Mr. Sutcliffé spoke of the "libido" (mental energy) of the individual, which must be given a how frustration of this may lead well-directed outlet, and explained

to depression, to ts of apathy, and may even cause a breakdown of the nervous system. The early years of childhood he looks upon as being most important, especial- ly between the years of seven and eleven, when lasting habits and impressions can be formed.

headings gave under which the various forms of inferiority complex can be classif- ed, as follows:

(a) Self-consciousness, or self- preoccupation.

(b) Self-criticism, or self-dis- satisfaction..

(c). Touchiness, or over-sensi tiveness.

(d) Nervous instability.. (e) Self-persecution.

Most important of all is the complex he describes as Inferiority- plus-pride. People subject to this particular complex may be afraid of taking an examination; afraid of making a public appearance, afrald of undertaking responsi bility, afraid. In fact, of anything (Continued on. Back Page)
