Psychoanalysts buzz that the crime wave, which has the works by the tail, caused by men out of work. A psychoanalyst is a gent who does rot work either. He holds down center field in a Morris chair and waits for things to happen to other folks. Then he starts his psycho-analizer- whirling and turns in1 a mi nority report. Another phychoangle, is that the misdemeanor tide is a result of the war. Doughboys had to salute, sec ond looies long before equal suf frage was made. constitutional.

Believe Six-Man v Bowling Squad SKould Get Trial Chirac Tribono-OmaS) Bss Leasd Wire. Chicago, Dec. 22. Plans were started sometime ago to increase the number of bowlers on a team from five to six, but the movement did not progress, as bowlers throughout the country deemed the change too radical to make without due deliberation. The scheme was to allot, six, men to shoot in the American Bowling congress meet next year. Members of the A. B. C declare that the six-man iqnad should be given a .trial in smaller tournaments before being used in the big championship;. Judge Howard brought - up the question of six-man teams at the meeting of the American Bowling congress in Buffalo recently, in stead of the five-man plan now in vogue. There has been consider able discussion as to whether there should be any changes and to what really should be done in regard to these team events. ' Bowlers of other cities, especially Indianapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City and St Louis have voiced their opinions favoring the four-man idea and state that tjhe chief reason for proposing a change is to do away with the "odd" man. At present when a team goes to a tournament with five men and the fifth man can not compete in the doubles event, or if six men are taken, the sixth man c-.nnot compete in the five-man event A change to tour men would eliminate that condition. A general vote thronghout the country on the subject cannot be conveniently arranged and the Bowl ing fraternity will have to just sit tack and wait until the annual con vention of the American Bowling congress -next March in Buffalo, when the subject will be discussed. One thing they can do however, is to compare the vote just taken in the recent middlewest tournament at St. Louis, where a tabulation of the bal lots" cast by the bowlers competing showed that 276 voted to retain the present arrangement of five-men, two men and individuals for tourna ment plays; 232 voted tcv change league and tournament play to four men and 77 were in favor of six men, three men and individual events. 1 San Francisco, Dec. 22. -Elaborate arrangements, have been made to welcome the Ohio State universitv foot ball squad upon its arrival at noon today at Berkeley, enroute to Pasadena, where the eleven will play the University of California team on New Year's day.

' Bay district graduates of Ohio State will tender the team a ban quet here tonight. The Ohio squad will go to Palo Alto tomorrow, where it will prac tice in the afternoon, and on Friday on the gridiron of Leland Stanford, jr., university. Present plans call for their departure sojith Friday night. Chicago White rlose Club Not For Sale, Says Owner Comiskey Chirac Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire. Ghicaaro. Dec. 22.

Is Grandest in World States Mrs. Snyder "Not In Years Have I En joyed Such Good Health," Say St .Jbteph Woman Since Taking Tanlac "Not in years have I enjoyed such good health or felt so well general ly as I do since taking Tanlac," said Mrs. S. A. Snyder, 221 Michigan avenue, St. Joseph, Mo.; recently, i "My stomach was so disordered at the time I began taking Tanlac that I hadn't been able to eat a meal for a long time without suffering fromJ inaigesuon. i naa no appetite, ana nothing I ate agreed with me. I couldn't even .digest the lightest of foods. After meals gas formed and kept me in distress for hours, and I think I endured all the pains a bad stomach can cause a person. : "Then two years jago I had an at tack of influenza which left me very weak, and. as my stomach was out of order it seemed that I just could not get my strength back. I had to be taking , something for constipa tion constantly, and at times I 'had severe headaches, when I became so dizzy I could scarcely stand up. Finally a friend of mine from Kansas City advised me to try Tan lac, saying she had suffered pretty much the same way I was, and that the medicine had helped her won derfully. Well, I got a bottle and before I finished taking it my apne tite had improved remarkably. After that every bottle made me feel bet ter, and now 1 Jeel like a different person. " "My appetite, is simply wonderful, and I am eating just anything 1 j want and as much as I please with out the least pain or distress.
