REACH'S 1918 BASEBALL

The 1913 Reach American League

DANA, GRANDSON OF
.LONGFELLOW, IS NOW
RINGING Up FARES
FIRING LOCOMOTIVE TOO HOT
Got Place on Suburban Street
Car Line

Boston, March 22.-Edmund Trow-
bridge Dana, master of arts (Hary-
ard), grandson of Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, the poet, is working as a
conductor for the Middlesex and Bos-
ton Street Railway Company at n
cents an hour. The former Harvard
athlete and instructor, whose eth
ical" marriage last June to Jessie Hol-
liday, an English portrait painter,
aroused great discussion both in this
country and abroad, because of the
fact that the bride wrote the ritual,
vigorously denies the reports of an
estrangement between him and his
young wife.
Young Dana says that while his wife
has been in England since last Octo-
Der, she is planning to rejoin him the
first week in April. Meanwhile he is
serving as an extra conductor for the
street railway company, making his
headquarters at the car barn on Main
street, Waltham, and taking runs
which in the main are confded to the
route from Wayerley to Newton, by
way of Waltham.
Conductor Dana, who is a member Of
the Institute of III, the D. X. E., the
Pi Gamma Club, the Hasty Pudding
Club and the Round Table-all re-
garded as the most exclusive of the
Harvard clubs"-is officially known as
j No. 1,043 at the Waltham car barn. He
got his job through the State FREQ
Employment Bureau on Kneelap
street, Boston.
/ Despite the fact that his father,
Richard H. Dana, now touring Europa,
is one of the wealthiest citizens OF
Cambridge, having a finely appointed
home at No. 113 Brattle street, adjoin-
ing Cragie House, the son is content
at present with a furnished room at
No 40 Vernon street, Waltham, for
which he pays $3.50 week
: Whe2 things break right Dana
gets as high as $14.50 a week for his
seven days work. His agreement with
the company calls for at least $1,000 Z
week. For this he must report at the
car barn at 6:15 4. NJ. each day AMI
await an assignment. He is likely to
be called on at any time during the
day or night to take out a car. He
wears the button of the Garments I'M
ion.
! Prior to obtaining the position he
fired" locomotive on the Fitchburg
division of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, but threw up the job after two
days, as the heat proved too intense,
Before that he hired out for his boarl
as a farmland at Groton, living in a
small outbuilding whose interior
showed temperature ranging as low
as % degrees above zero.
Dana frankly admits that his wife.
now completing a course in the School
of Economics at London, does not
know of his present employment.
Moreover, he confesses that lack of
funds caused him to seek work of
some nature.

DOES OUR SIXTH SENSE
KEEP US FROM HARM?
No Supernatural Agency Is
Necessary

Have We sixth sense which some
times warns us of danger to ourselves
or our loved ones, or gives us informa-
ton which could not have come to us
through any of our ordinary five?
/ Some psychologists think so and thay
account for the occurrence of such in
cidents as the following, told in the
current number of the Pictorial Re
view, as the action of this sixth sense,
or "subconscious self"
know of one young lady who walk
ing along quiet country lane, sudden
ly beheld in her minds eye a certain
room in her house and saw her mother
lying on the floor of this room. So i'm
pressed was she with the belief that
something had happened to her mother
that she ran to the house of the family
doctor, took him to her home post
haste and led him to the room in ques-
ton. There, sure enough, they found
the mother unconscious. She had been
stricken with an attack Of heart failure
that, according to the physician, would
have been fatal had he not arrived
when he did The young lady's father,
in corroboration of her story states:
81 distinctly remember being sur
prised by seeing my daughter in COM
pany with the family doctor outside the
door of my residence and | asked Who
is ill?' She replied, Mamma She led
the way at once to my wife's room
where We found my wife lying in a
swoon on the floor When l asked
when she had been taken i'll, found It
must have been after my daughter had
left the house None of the servants
knew anything of the sudden illness. &"
Another lady, the widow of a Nor
tana mine owner, has told me that
once sitting alone with her infant chilli
who is now one of the Harvard group
of promising young playwrights, she
heard a voice command:
Take the child out of the crib!"
Greatly frightened, she looked
around, but tire was no one to be
seen. Indeed she had reason to believe
that she and her son were for the time
quite alone in the house. However the
voice came again:
"Take the child out of the crfb!"
A third time the command was given
and she took the child up in her
arms. Scarcely had she done so when
heavy bracket supporting a lighted
lamp gave way, letting the lamp fa!l
into the crib which was Instantly in
flames.
Happenings like these are of frequent
occurrence; but curiously enough it is
Only of late years that any serious ct
fort has been made to explain them
Most people are still disposed to re-
gard them as evidences Of something
supernatural. In reality, it is certain
that the socalled sixth sense" has
nothing supernatural about it. When
ever it operates, it does so in accord
ance with some well established laws
of the human mind
