 AID ID RELIGION,
 SAYS SIR OLIVER
By A..sci.,sd Pres.


 New York, January 15.-sir Oliver Lodge, noted British scientist and lead ing exponent of spritualism, declared on his arrival here today that spiritual ism is not opposed to religion, but oa the contrary strengthens and supports It. ine survival of man can be proven. ' he said, "and that perception will strengthen the hands of true religion. nave no new religion to preach. All I say is that the essential parts of the old religion are all strengthened and support ed by the new evidence. The result of accepting the facts under investigation IS to strengthen faith and overthrow Purety materalistic conceptions on the negative side"
 Sir Oliver asserted that men who have lost their lives in the war have been communicated with. but that they cannot DC summoned, although love and affec- ton are the strongest forces attracting them.
 He said that while he understood there were crooked mediums he had never met one.
 The next world is a phase" he con tnued. Tt may not be different world from this. We encounter another aspect or one world. an aspect that does not make any appeal to our present sense and hence an aspect which we may thouEhtlessly imagine to be nonexistent. ouF senses are no criterlons of existence. They were evolved from earthly reasons. not for purposes of philosophy, and if we refuse to go beyond the direct evidence of our senses we shall narrow our out look on the universe to hopeless and almost imbecile extent
 Sir Oliver advised persons of weak minds to keep away from the ouija board. He said he did not condemn it as an in- strument, but believed that unless a per- son possessed a strong force of mind there was danger that constant applica- tion upon the board might affect his men, tality.
 Whil7 he expressed qualification at ''tMe great split of friendliness'' between Great Britain and the United States, Sir Oliver aid that he did not believe the time was quite ripe for federation of the English speaking pee ples of the world
 'If the British and American nations hang together he added. '.and cooper ate in good works their intersection will be of the utmost benefit to the human race, and nothing will so powerfully op- crate toNput down oppression and check needless internecine conflicts with high hand. An era of good hope is dawning for humanity"

Due to the activity of the Birmingham alumni during the past week in taking steps to ferestall the reported efforts 10 elect William f. Feagin or any one else to the presidency of Auburn, to succeed Dr, Charles C. Thach. who is now on leave 'of absence, due to illness, it is con sidered certain that ths will furnish some lively discussion at the meeting to- night
 Another matter which may come be- fore the meeting is the athletic situation. The local alumni are reported to have been largely in favor of Thomas Bragg in the controversy which was started by the student body of the insti- tutioa some time ago over the conduct of athletics under Bragg's direction. but it woIll not prove surprising were this question to be among the matters dis cussed.2 Certain it is that the athletic policy of the institution will be taken up.
 Every former Auburn student is urged to atterd the meeting tonight.

enness that 1t took years to overcome before hs had any liking for intoxica nts.
 It was not for thousands of years, though, before that bit of imagery be- came available as reading matter. The story had been tied up in Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and the great masses of peo- pie knew not of it. Then one day, some wherc along the middle of the Fourteenth Century, a slovenly Scotsman, with pro- truding lower lip and watery blue eyes. and q great fear of the supernatural, fell heir to the greatest throne in Christendom and became King of merry England!
 God chooses strange tools to work his ways. James the Sixth of Scotland be- came Flames the First of England. The son of Mary Queen of Scots who knew not who of his mothers several hus- bands and nu.nberless paramours was his father. took steps to have the HolJ Bible translated into plain English, and to this day the language is spoken of as The Kings English.'
 Printing presses were few, but there were some, and the Bible in plain lam guage began to reach the people. and its wondrous stories hecarne nuhiic n~operty
 FELL INTO DISREPUTE
 Gradually, year by year. intoxicants fell into disrepute. Year by year some man or other. jeered at by the crowds, stood out against it. First there was protest against the unseemly revelry in evidence on the holy days. that later be- came holidays Then, first in one part of the country and then in another, little communities, disgusted with the killings and orgies, went dry for season, then wet again, for they could not make it stick.
 But the sentiment grew. Far up On the northeast coast a primitive state made up mostly of fisher villages. lumber camps and minor ports, went dry. The law stuck, but obedience to it was a farce. Yet it was a nucleus. Great tales were told of the doings in Maine. The states name became byword, the foun- dation for jokes about liquor. But this unhonored prophet in his own country exerted great influence abroad.
 Then came the day when the good women of the land took up the cause. Few knew it, but that was the beginning of the end, Towns went dry, counties abolished liquor. States vacillated dry one term of office holding, wet the next.
 Gradually the light began to dawn that those towns that went dry enjoyed a greater prosperity. Good stores were built where saloons had stood, despite what was said about the lack of public funds when the liquor tax was taken away, prosperity was enhanced.
 Bitter enemies of prohibition tried means after means to check the great wave that was sweeping the country.
 Then came the world war. National prohibition became effective as a war measure. Then those in power clamped it home as permanence
 The day was set when all the land was to be dry by federal law. That day dawned this morning
