Show j A Name For It i "Grandiosa.' It seems to be a new term, or complex, which will figure in criminal trials. Dr. Livingston Anderson, Ander-son, Texas health officer, introduces it in the case of Rebec- ca Rogers, the co-ed bride who is on trial for arson, at Austin, and who must also stand trial for bank robbery. To be "grandiosa" is to be Napoleonic, to feel that you i win do anything on which you set your mind, and try to do it. Moreover, Dr. Anderson advises that "-grandiosa" is oile thing that ails the younger generation, in its . downward tendency. ! With what success the lawyers will be able to use ; "grandiosa" as an excuse for criminality is uncertain. Our j youth, indeed, seem to be more sr less afllicted with it. Many, j forsooth, are rather over-possessed by the obsession that they fan do anything they want to. However, at first thought at' i least, marriage suggests itself as a possible cure for ; "Grandiosa." |
