Prominent physicians and psychiatrists declare the colloquialism to be more than just a "saying." It is possible, they say, to be scared sick. Fear can cause a person to suffer from a number of diseases, including such widely different ailments as indigestion, lumbago, asthma, goitre and even paralysis. There is a case on record of a father who worried so constantly and feared so deeply that his son would be a victim of infantile paralysis that he, himself, became paralysed and could not move his leg.

Doctors sav that fear causes Specsl to the Pittsburth Post -Gazette From tie Chicago Tribun. CHICAGO, Nov. 19. Jack Knight -who has flown more miles and hours than any other pilot in the world, today com pleted his last trip in command of authorities on white-tailed deer yesterday added the weight of their words to back up the special doe season authorized by the game commission but now threatened by a court injunction obtained by a group of farmers and hunters in Elk, Cameron and Clinton counties. These authorities are John D.

Burnham, of Essex, New York, who organized the American Game Association, and W. B. Mershon, famous conservationist of Saginaw, Mich. They expressed their opin almost every known type of dis ease. It can happen this way.

Landing one of United Air Lines' Douglas DC-3 planes at Chicago airport this morning the regular trip from Cheyenne he made out his last reports and hung up his uniform. "After 20 years of piloting flying everything from Jennies up to the latest Douglas ships I'm ready for a ground job," he said after company officials announced he voluntarily had retired.

Xever Spectacular. Knight's log books record some 1S.0OO hours of flying, beginning in 1917 when he joined the army air corps and received his flight training at Ellington Field, Texas. During this time in the air he covered 2.400.000 miles, most of it over the Middle Western plains and the eastern slopes of the Rockies. But in the future he will fly only for pleasure or as an airline passenger, he said. Jack Knight, as a pilot, was one of those men who became known not for spectacular deeds but for the surety and regularity with which he carried first the air mail back in the pioneer days, and later th giant planes filled with passengers.

The very advance of the sensational in relation to his flying won him a reputation as one of the best and most careful airline pilots. Bonfires Lighted Way. Just about the closest to the spectacular that Jack Knight ever came was the night of February 22-23, 1921. On that night he was scheduled to fly a planeload of mail from North Platte to Omaha as part of a trial run from coast to coast being made under the supervision of the postoffice. The trip was being made to prove to Congress that night airmail flights were feasible.

The only guiding signals from the ground for that flight were infrequent bonfires lighted by farmers along the air route. Jack completed his portion of the trip and landed safely at Omaha, only to discover that the pilot who was supposed to take the mail on to Chicago was not at his post. Jack took off again and flew the Omaha-Chicago section route too. Take Ground Job. Jack is retiring to a ground job with United in th-s traffic sales of aviation.

Shakespeare was afraid of cats.

This fear, felinophobia, is shared by hundreds of persons and by the Dowager Queen Mary, of England. Hannibal's fear of loud noises led him to introduce the military strategy of the surprise attack, one of the things that made him a great general. Maria Theresa of Austria set a fashion because of her fear of eyes. Whenever she appeared in public she carried an umbrella, even on sunny days, and used it to shield herself from her staring subjects. This act made sunshades popular and fashionable.

Eramus, famous Dutch scholar, had such an aversion to fish that even the sight of one gave him a fever. James I of England, is reported to have been thrown into a frenzy by the sight of a knife blade. Goethe, the German poet, was one of the hundreds of people who suffer from akrophobia, a fear SUES WOODY" RUNAWAY'S STORY RIVALS HORATIO ALGER SHINES SHOES AS FIDDLE PLAYER MAY WIN PAROLE CONVICT OFFERED POSITION IN BAND me an indisputable fact that unless you promptly reduce your deer herd by killing off a lot of your big does, you will have mighty little deer hunting left in the state in the near future. Your herd has grown too large for the available browse. You can't have much over a million acres of deer territory in the state; and if you have anything like a million does, this is just about 10 times too many for that acreage." Tells Of Own Experience.

Burnham gave as an example of what will happen in Pennsylvania his own experience with his own deer park of 750 acres, well-Stocked with trees and vegetation. He said that one winter when he was leaving the country for several months he told his foreman to kill off from 50 to 75 deer of his herd of 150 to 175 because he was sure that the land could not support the number. The foreman failed to do so. Burnham said that at least 50 deer died of starvation and the "winter food was whipped to such an extent that the area will never again carry 100 deer." Besides, he pointed out, the size of his bucks deteriorated from 220 pounds to 115 pounds, just as have Pennsylvania's bucks, and that every winter a high percentage of the very young deer now starve to death. "It is funny to me," Burnham concluded, "that your experienced deer hunters who have seen the decrease in size of your deer and who know that you have deer that die from starvation, should be opposed to the sensible idea of reducing the herd to numbers which can profitably be carried by your deer area." Mershon wrote: "You have got to keep the deer thinned down to balance the food supply.

If you don't, they will all die. We are facing the same problem here in Michigan."
