Dreams and a Harvard professor on interpretation
Cambridge March 23 Dreams have different meanings to Dr. Percy Stiles of Harvard than to dreamers who seek a dream hook. He says dreams of old friends reflect happiness with daily work while dreams of daily problems signal fatigue. Violent or horror dreams hint at digestion or heart concerns. A benign link to moving pictures is noted. In Los Angeles a $80,000 pearl necklace found by Glen Mitchell, a former Stanford athlete, was returned to Mrs. Frank Sullivan Smith of New York after he held it for advertisement. Mitchell received $3,000 reward.
