ATLANTA, April -8.—(Al')—Per-
sons who climb up and down almost
perpendicular mountain sides and de-
1 i Slit in other death defying feats—
HoHjte of which have caused W. 13-
higgle, of Stone Mountain, to form
his own personal opinion as to their
Ifinity—are not always brave.
I-ra fact, such tendencies frcquent-
are the result of an inferirity
iplex, says Professor Herman W.
irtin, psychologist of Emory Uni-
fresity, in'explaining why Tuggle, in
Ijbarge of the studio at Stone Moun-
tain, has-no end of trouble with dare-
devils. ;
Some, of them have tried vainly
P to'scale, ¿he solid granite wall, about
I'SttIO fefet jn height ,to the site of the
Vfcónfeijérate memorial work. The
fBtáirway,. which led from the top to

liias^^n removed, but the pegs, ten
Ifect apart, holding the structure were
'left. - So every now and then some-
oiisj will attempt to slide from peg
toT>eg to the operating base, with
s
the. knowledge that the missing of
a single hold will result in a drop to
death.
"Such attempts." says Martin,
"sometimes may be regarded a-) a
sort of compensation for a failure
somewhere else in life: they may he

performed to quell imbedded, yet
possibly unrecognized feelings of in-
feriority.
"Oftentimes it is at first for the
sheer sake of a thrill, the diffuse
cxcitation of the organism that
comes with a new experience, with
the doing or seeing of something
different or unusual. This risky
climbing business at the jeopardy
of life can have foundation in the
apparently very implicit tendency
of ail living arganism to find satis-
faction in the relief of stored-up,
potentian metabolic energy.
"Then there may be the tendency
to conquer—a thing to big as a
mountain, fdr example—which gives
I a boost to the ego."

P DELEGATION WOOLD HEDUGE
MS IN TRADE FOR NEW RATIO
TOKIO, May 3.— (AP) —The
Japanese' delegation tothrce powers
armament, confernce, which expect
to. leave for Geneva early in May,
will be ready and iwlling—even
eager—to . bring about further na-
val disarmament, if, by some hook
or crook, it can effect a fractional
clinnge in the existing 5-5-3 ratio
which will enable it to return to
Japau and "save face" with the
great untutored . and more or less
anUrforcign masses.
T^rts is the opinion of foreign
observers . here who are in close
touch with the goventemnremfwyp
touch with the government, the na-
vy and particularly the Jajanese
preps and its millions or readers.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the ^Washington conference agree-
ment ha.t saved Japan several hun-
dred miliion yen—which is thor-
flily appreciated by financiers,
conomic experts and high govern-
ment. officials—the public lias al-
ready resented the 5-5-3 ratio. The
press, echoing its readers, is in-
sistent that this ratio must not
prevail in any auxiliary reduction
ngrJÍkient. But if the Geneva del-
egnVn can some home with even
a 5-5-3 1-8 ratio, it is felt that
everybody's "face" - will have been
saved aiid public opinion properly
salved.
The real auxiety of the big men
of Japan is financial and economic.
The recent suspension of a num-
ber of nanits in Tokyo because of
shortage of funds brought home
totilfee intillengont Japanese the se-
riousness of the situation. The
balance of trade ugainst Japan last
year was about 329,000,000 yen.
japan Is taxed to tho hilt now and
the support and maintenance of
uyen the present navy is a burden
wfjch daily grows heavier with de-
r.T&sing domestic business and un-
favorable foreign trade balances.
But above food and raiment in
the Far Kast is "face." The Jap-
anese will starve and dlt in tho
cuéttr before he will lost "face."
Consequently, oven though further
disarmament and economy are es-
Bil, the "face" problem must

ey expc.pt to return to Japan
