SCIENTISTS WASTE
TIME ON SPIRITS,
RABBI DECLARES
DR.. Schulman, Assailing Evi-
dence of Word from Dead,
Counsels Useful Research.

Scientists instead OF devoting their
talents to spiritualism should use them in
research which can serve more useful
purpose, declared the Rev. Dr. Samuel
Schulman, rabbi of Temple BETHEL, Fifth
avenue and Seventy-sixth street. He ex-
pressed this opinion yesterday morning in
sermon.
Rabbi Schulman criticised recent books
on spritualism and asked the general pub
lie to keep their sanity, common sense
and clear understanding. What is needed
lis a deeper belief in God Or. Schulman
said, rather than demonstrations
Judaism prohibits all consultations
with the dead; it regards them as super
lstitious, and the Mosaic law deliberately
forbade them" declared the rabbi. 1T
denounced the habits Of consulting ghosts
and familiar spirits.
The rabbi said that the Mosaic law in
culcated the principle that the two worlds
are TO be kept apart. The sIbject of DIR.
Schuman was Seeking the Dead in Be-
half of the Living
Seeking the dead is very DID, said
the rabbi --'Alen always have hungered
for a word from the land whence no trav-
eler returns, and there always nave been
those who, as wilful deceivers or as alb
normally or supernormally endowed per-
sons, have presumed to give it to them.
| 1T is remarkable that in an age OF
such shrewdness there should be so much
naive gulliblity. Human nature has not
radically changed in the last three thou
| sand years.
.People still believe what a strong and
overmastering desire prompts them TO be-
! lieve. They need satisfaction for the
lyearning OF their soul. And if they can
not find it in faith based on reason. on the
moral sentiment and on spiritual expert
ence-if, in word. they will not seek
God-they seek what they call 'demonstra-
tons They want proof OF the survival OF
human personality after what we call the
death OF the body And as they want il
very much, they convince themselves that

| DR.. Schulman said the war had caused
much OF the reawakening of spirtualism.
"The sorrow OF the human race, as 1t
were has been dramatized on a tremen-
dously large scale" he said. THE imagin-
alton therefore has been quickened. And
| il has been encouraged to create the world
of illusion which shall assuage sorrow.
! after three decades of investigation
iof these phenomena, of which there Is
not n single case which absolutely proves
that there is such a thing as communica-
tion from the dead, the scientists can well
| be excused if they feel that what mental
energy they have can be better devoted to
research which can serve more useful
purpose.
| DIR. Schulman said that recently "a dis
tinguished scientist was led by his own
personal bereavement to emphasize his
growing belief in the reality OF communi-
cations from the dead.
'He has given us "a remarla bile hook -
said DR.. Schulman. (which is an exceed
lingly interesting humap document if not

OPPOSITION CROWS

League Official Asserts Meas
ure, Bolshevistic in Principle,
Will Kill Industry.

Officers Of the Dairymens League de-
clared yesterday that opposition to the
creation of the State Milk Commission, as
proposed by the Fair Price Milk Commit
tee, is increasing rapidly. AS the dairymen
term it, the regulation of the milk indus
try from the COW 10 the consumer would
, drive the dairy farmers of the State out
of business" John ID. Miller, vice presi-
dent of the Dairymen's League, said yes
terday:-
The proposed milk programme differs
from the Bolshevst programme in Russia
only that i'm Russia all property is to be
natlonalized, while here only farms and
herds are TO be nationalized In principle
they differ not at all. only in degree. TO
deprive a farmer of the power and control
Of his property strips him of every at
tribute of ownership except the privilege
Of paying taxes.
THE committee proposes TO give a Milk
Commission of three political appointees
power and control over ST. coo 600 worth
of property owned by other men, with the
power to fix prices on the products of such
properties, which i'm effect is fixing the
prices upon the properties also, for the
value of the farm is measured by the value
OF its products. The owners OF these
farms, however, are to have no voice in
who are 10 fix them.
The Milk Commission is to have power
TO make orders and rules. violations OF
which shall be a misdemeanor (punish-
able by fine of $500 or a year in prison,
or both). This means that the Legisla-
ture Will be asked to delegate to three
political appointees of the Governor the
power to enact criminal laws.
NO government, except an autocra tic
one, can execute such powers, and the
more such powers are conferred upon gov
ernment the more autocratic il will be-
come. The whole plan is designed to sub
stitute government by bureaus for a
government of Legislatures a government
by autocratic rules for a government of
law.
To compel the farmer TO sell his prod
uct in a regulated market and buy all of
his supplies and necessities in an unregu-
lated market not onlS violates every
principle of justice but would result in
intolerabe confusion and chaos that would
at once be reflected in an appalling de-
crease in production.
There is no reason why milk should be
singled out for State regulation at pres
ent prices. 1t is cheaper than beef, NUT
ton, poultry, eggs or any other form of
animal fat food. 1t has advanced i'm price
less than other foods and less than cloth
ing or shoes. The price of milk to farm
ers is less as compared with costs of pro-
duction than the price Of any other COM
modify"
For the purpose of urging closer CO.
operation between all organizations here
engaged in distributing milk the Metro
politan Committee will meet at the home

CYLINDER GRINDERS PATENTED
FROM GREAT FALLS USED IN
FAR COUNTRIES
Wood & Stafford Machinery Works
Had Small Beginning Five Years
Ago and Has Grown to One of the
Most Important Concerns of the
Kind in the West.

With a record OF sales which have
already reached every corner Of the
earth where automobiles are used
the Wood & Stafford Machine Works
of Great Falls is now preparing to
manufacture in its own plant an at
tachment for a metal turning lathe
by which automobile motor cylinders
may be re-bored and re-ground.
Two of the cylinder grinders,
which are made under a patent Sc
cured by Thomas Wood, head OF the
company, are now in Johannesburg,
South Africa, and two are in Cape
town. Three are in use In Auckland,
New Zealand; two have been sold in
Bombay, India; two in Shanghai, n
in Australia and several were sold
in European countries.
The lathe attachment consists of
a boring bar and grinding bar which
will screw to any lathe spindle, and
a face plate for holding the cylinder
for regrinding. An essential part of
the holding apparatus is a ~centering
device by which the cylinder is auto
matically held in proper position for
being rebored and %reground, which
was also invented by Wood.
Thomas w. Wood and w. H. SAT-
ford. Jr., Incorporated the Wood &
Stafford Machin Works in 1916. They
started with a capital somewhere in
the neighborhood of $3.50 in a space
25x50 feet in a rented shop. The
present factory has 10000 square
feet of floor space and a full base
ment, which is used for storage. In
it is installed $4,000 worth of metal
working machinery and a foundry
equipment. A hardening plant, for
making tool steel, will be the next
equipment installed.
Capital Stock Now $4,000
The original Incorporation vas for
$4,000, with $4,000 common stock
and $4,000 preferred. Within the
last month the company has increased
it's capitalization to $4,000, of which
$4,000 is eight per cent preferred
stock and a $1,000 common stock.
The new capital will be used to
carry stocks of raw material and
manufactured machines. The cylin-
der grinders which have been sold in
the past have been cast and manu-
featured at Rockford, ILL.,, and fin
ished in the Great Falls plant. With
new capital and added equipment the
