Warden McClaughry Won't Have
Prison Board Job.

Warden r. w. McClaughry. who is
soon to be succeeded as warden of the
federal prison at Leavenworth, is not
an applicant for appointment to the
membership of the penal board and
emphatica1Iy denies the published re-
ports to the effect that he would seek
to succeed Thomas w. Morgan, his
successor, as a member of the prison
board. In a statement given out in
Leavenworth today, Warden Nc
Claughry said:
Il am not an applicant for the chair
manship of the Kansas state board of
corrections. nor would 1 under any cir
cumstances accept the place. Major
Brown. a gentleman who is eminently
fitted for that position. was chosen to

doubt that he will not satisfactorily
fill il. Nor am l an applicant for any

Denver, Col, June S.-The fight of

at the Cakes Home.
A few weeks ago Byrne offered F. F.

Bierokowsky is the physician who
worked with Friedman in Berlin on
the turtle serum. Four NEGOTIATIONS

appetite returned and in every way she
felt better. She was confident that she
was on the road to recovery.

DEVELOPING A SIXTH SENSE
Human Race Is UnconsciousIy Using
Mastery and ForcefuIness.

! The most amazing development of
/ the twentieth century so far has been
the realization that a sixth sense .
that is to say, some sense other than
| taste, smell, touch, hearing and sight,
| is beginning to operate powerfully
upon our lives. THE influence of mind
| over matter has come to be a catch
phrase, and people are greatly inter-
ested in discussing the several ways
in which this curious influence shows
itself. but strangely enough, little at
tention is given to the idea why the
human race is developing this sixth
sense.
Without going into biology closely, it
may be remembered that touch was
the first sense to be developed, then
tasted and the other senses in varying
order in different organisms. But at
the same time 1T must not be forgotten
that all these senses came in response
to need. Touch, for example, de-
veloped with free motion; taste with the
requirements of a diet that had to be
selected So this sixth sense does not
spring from Lowhere. but is develop
ing steadily in response to a need, and
is produced by that need.
The one force that is creating this
sense is social intercourse. Gestures
sufffced in the days of primitive man,
for his wants were few and the mat
tiers which his neighbors could COM
municate to him were fewer still. A lit
tie later words came and they were
necessary because abstract ideas came
which gestures could not express. The
sense of hearing then became highly
acute. so that not only could words
which sounded much alike be distin-
guished, but even the same word in
different tones conveyed a different
meaning. Now, thought processes are
so rapid and the urgency of communi
cation is SO great that words seem
cum bersome and slow. People who
know each other we'll and are both
quick Witted can often tell the end of
sentence their companion has just be-
gun.
This is especially true in business
life. The good salesman is by no means
always the most fluent taIker but is
the man who can project into the mind
of the man to whom he is trying to sell
goods the general idea of his purchas-
ing the same. The big employer the
master of men, is the master not by his
oratory but by his sense of mastery
a thing projected by the mind. There
are men and women who simply cannot
help making love or being made love
to, not because of anything they say
but because either their charm or their
forcefulness operates consciously or
unconsciously by the sixth sense.
Each year sees this sense growing
of social intercourse increases. Not long
go it was rare to know people of diff
ferent nationality than ourselves, and
a century ago any person who had been
on two continents was a wonderful
traveller The literature of foreign ma
tons then was little translated. Now
all great writer's can be read in the |
tongues. no natter what the
language in which their works were
