 Way Down East Is guaranteed by the management and from it's uninterrupted successful career of twenty-five years it hardly needs such guarantee. but for the skeptieal few. suffice to say. that Way Down East has been witnessed by over 20 million people, it has received the unanimous endorsement of the press and clergy and is a play that every man. wo- man and child should see and having seen it they will want to see it again.
 Way Down East with its full equip ment will be seen at the Davis theatre on Wednesday. April 2sth. with the same company and effects that played all the larger eastern cities. having just com pleted-its engagement in New York. Bos- ton and Philadelphia

AT THE DAVIS.

The mystifying work of Prof Henri Clayton, the Mystic at the Davis theatre ithlk week brings prominently under dis cussion a new and startling theory of psychologists, namely the possibility of securing information from the sub-con- scious mind through the projection of the s.astraI' body Cand mind) of the inves- tigator. contracting with'the subject to be investigated
 That the projection of the "astrar' body is one of the latest achievements of psychical science is fact announced by no less authority than Mir. Hereward Darlington. the able psychologist and author. of New York city. Mir Caring iton insists that it is not the conscious will which performs this miracle, but the subconscious wiii-the will which is ac- tive in sleep" tor trance concentration. and he says that this result -can only be reached by psychic and occult meth ods." No further remarks: "Once reach ed and strengthened. however it (the astral body-mind-is capable of per forming all sorts of mArvels. while the subject Is asleep or entranced trated.
 Prof. Clayton. who has given this psy- chical aspect of psychology careful study. is inclined to go step further than Car rington, or Dr. Charles Lancelin of France Colonel Albert de Rochas. of the French army, or M Hector Durvilie president of the Magnetic Society," of France-all of whom have made pains taking experiments and written books on the line of Psychic Science" Prof. Clayton esees no reason" he says. why the astral body (mind). projected ad- mittedly on its adventure through the mediumshiD of the ''subconscious," may not inteIligently contact with the hypno-
 tized, tranced or concentrated subject or
 seer through the latter's ''subconscious" l intelligence. This may all sound like
 Creek to the 1ayman, Prof. Clayton ad- Units, but reduced to the language of the
 street. it means that it is possible for an | adept to project his "subconscious'
 mind in company with his 'astral" body | by the mere act of concentration so that he may learn. (with the consent of the | subject) the innermost Secrets of an- | others soul
 In practical demonstrations of these | marvellous powers, Clayton is giving dai- | ly manifestations at the Davis theatre
 in this city. His work is certainly a | most interesting study in higher psy- chology. Those who desire mere enter
 tainment in addition to the occult work
 will find an interesting amusement pro-

CITIZENS |NDORSE
SENATE MOVE FOR
SCHOOLS INQUIRY
Debate Precedes Action
Backing Senator Harrison's
Plan; Action Predicted.

! The Federation Of Citizens Associa-
building last night. voted in favor of
a congressional investigation of the
i, local public school system. as pro-
posed by Senator Harrison Of Missis-
sippi in the Senate yesterday.
Action was taken after more than
two hours of spirited debate on pres
ent unsettled conditions in the
schools. Much Of the discussion CEN
tered around the action of the school
board in notifying Superintendent
Ernest L. Thurston that he would not
be reappointed in June, when his
term expires.
The motion to indorsa Senator Har-
rison's proposed probe was offered
by Delegate George Wales. 1t was in
the form Of substitute for a resolution
brought in by the school committee
of the federation, which also asked
for a congressional investigation, but
dealt more directly with the fight of
the school board on Mr.. Thurston.
Asks Reasons for Retirement.
t The resolution Of the school COM
mittee read, in part. as follows:
!, "Resolyed by the Federation Of Citi-
zens. Associations, in regular meeting
assembled. this 21st day of February.
1920, That we believe the very unfor-
tunate conditions at present obtaining
in our schools should be made the
subject of a careful inquiry by Con-
gress. This inquiry should go into the
n nf no hno I'd rad dfrU ho
matter of legal and other qualifca-
tions of present members. as well as
the actual reason for the retirement
from the board of some of our most
public-spirited and best known citi-
zens. The relations between the
board and the superintendent should
be included as well.
This federation is firmly of the
opinion that the board of education
should be both responsive and respon-
sible to the people. and we believe
this can only be obtained by their
election By the ballot. In view of the
fact that number of the member
associations of this body are on rec
ord as favoring the election of the
hoard by the people. we urge upon
Congress the consideration of an i'm
mediate change in the school organic
act to that effect"
AS soon as the resolution was read
the delegates divided into factions.
one favoring the resolution. the other

Grafton should not act on the contro-
versy between the school board and
the superintendent. at least until the
question was brought into the fedora
ton by a member association.
Delegate Albion h. Paris moved to
lay the resolution of the school COM
mittee on the table. This was de-
feated by a vote of 13 to II.
Debate between the supporters of
the resolution and those who felt the
federation should not take such ac-
ton continued for nearly two hours.
Mr.. Wales then proposed that they
substitute for thes school committees

provides for an inquiry by the Senate
