EREWARD CARRINGTON
- has gone into the subject
of death with thoroughness
in this new edition of
volume originally compiled ten years
ago by himself and ]. R. Meader. Mr..
Meader has since "solved the problem"
of death and left his fellow author
to revise the book according to his
mortal limitations.
Except in the chapter on the nature
of death the author is chary of draw
ing conclusions. There he discusses
the theory of life as species of
vibration, just as light and heat are
defined in terms of the rate of their
vibration. Assuming that certain
rate of vibration (of the nervous It's
sue or of some ethereal medium acting
upon nervous tissue) represents the
ideal of health, mental or physical
disease would be due to either the
lessening or raising of the rate of
vibration. A slight lessening of the
rate OF vibration would indicate a
lessened amount OF vitality-sluggish-
ness, enervation and all that goes with
those states. On the other hand. he
points out that an elevation of the rate
OF vibration would induce excessive
stimulation, feverish conditions and
the like.
In Fragments of Truth Richard In
galese discusses the problem Of death
and Immortality from the standpoint Of
the occultist alone. According to the
author, thinking egos seek to carry out
on the astral plane, the first plane after
death, the vocations or avocations Of
their late lives. To person who looks
on death as a release 1t will come as q
disagreeable shock to learn that "the
broker and the banker are generally at
their recent offices long before their
former employees appear" 1t may also
come as shock to the employees.
Besides this first plane, which extends
upward from the earth for about mile
there are five other planes-two hells
and three heavens. MIR. Ingalese de.
clares that the law of gravity operates
after death, as in life, on the meta.
physical planes, ~ on the physical.
Reincarnation is basic part Of the
occultists' creed, and MIR. Ingalese cites
= series Of incarnations of Socrates
as case in point. Socrates, it appears,
was also Paracelsus, who has some
times been called the father Of medicine
and chemistry. He was also the Count
ic St. Gcrmain in the eighteenth CEN

The HALL AND TbH ORAN0F. BY
Archibald Marshall. Published by Dodd,
Mead & Co.
HO READ one Of Mr.. Marshalps
novels is like visiting the
home of an English country
gentleman, where the society
is we'll selected, the servants perfectly
trained and the lawn carefully moved
Mr.. Marshall's new novel, The Hall
and The Grange, is an excellent example
of his skill in creating an interesting
story out Of the simplest materials.
Colonel Eldridge, a squire and a
land owner, has been impoverished by
the war, while his younger brother,
William, who filled an important gov
ernment post during the conflict, has
emerged a distinguished and wealthy
man. There is tendency toward jeal-
ousy and extreme sensitiveness on the
colonel's side, while William is inclined
to be little careless about hurting
the feelings of his older brother.

SWEARiNGEN TALKS
OF ATTENDANCE ACT
Legislature Appropriated Only the
Sum of $4,000 For Work
This Year

Columbia, S. c., March %, 1921.
To County Superintendents and
County Attendance Officers:
Friends and Co-workers:
The legislature appropriated only
$4,000 for the enforcement of the
Compulsory Attendance act. This
fund supplies two hundred and eigh-
teen dollars, eighteen cents ($218.1S)
to each Of the fifty-fve county attend
ance officers. Payment was made
through the office of your county
treasurer last week. The money is
to be credited to the county board
fund, and the salaries for January,
! February and a fraction of March are
to be paid on the direct order Of the
County Board Of Education duly ap-
proved and countersigned by the
County Superintendent of Education.
In my opinion, full, accurate, cor
rect report covering the period of ser
vice during the scholastic year 1920
81 should be filed by each attendance
officer with the county superntend-
ent of education. Blank forms for
( such a report can be had from the
state superintendent upon request.
The attendance officer is respon-
sible for such an account of his SER
vice and stewardship. This report is
necessary if the records of the county
superintendent's office are to be COM
pleted and reliable.
The new measure to regulate
school attendance is now in the
hands of the governor. This act
, abolishes the county attendance Off
Ger except where such officer is en-
ployed by the county board of edu-
cation with the approval in writing of
majority of the county delegation
in the general assembly. The bill de-
!; wolves upon the county superintend-
ent and district trustees the duties
! now performed by attendance officers.
The governor has not yet indicated
what disposition he will make of the
proposed law.
The Withholding of the appropria-
! ton to pay the salaries of attendance
officers, however, renders further
state aid for salaries impossible. /

deeply deplore this pol:cT. Tn
scholastic year 191o2o demonstrated
clearly the benefits Of the compulsory
attendance act, and the helpful re-
suits following its enforcement. There
were mistakes and omissions, and
failures in many instances. So bi. a
Job with so many difficulties could
not have been done otherwise.
Personally and officially l thank the
entire corps for their efforts in be,
half Of the schools.
Yours respectfully,

EXPLOSION CAUSES
DEATHS IN CHICAGO
Chief of Police Declares Tragedy
Caused by Manufacture of
Bootleg Fireworks

Chicago, March 29.-Manufacture
and storage of fire works in man.
ner prohibited by city ordinances was
blamed last night by city and police
officials for an explosion in the heart
of the West Side tenement today
which killed at least eight persons
injured 100 or more; rendered dozens
temporarily homeless and damaged
buildings blocks away.
Two men were held in jail tonight
in connection with the disaster and
two others, possibly killed in the eX-
plosion, were sought by the police.
The explosion wrecked the ware
house of Well G Co., paper dealers,
where a dozen men were working.
All are believed to have been killed
Next door was the firm Of Singer
and Shaffer, dealers in novelty mer-
chandise. Chief of Police Charles
Fitzmorris and Fire Attorney ShIr-
ley High, after completing investlga-
tions tonight, declared that the SIM
ger and Shaffer firm had manufac-
TIRED fireworks in and around the
warehouse in violation Of city ordl-
nances and that combustion Of these
fireworks was to blame for the dis
aster. They declared the firm fre-
quently had been warned to discon-
tinue the manufacture and had been
repeatedly warned that fireworks
could not be stored within the city
limits.
"There is no question" said Chief
Fitzmorris, ''but that this manufac-
ture of bootleg fireworks caused the
catastrophe"
Max Singer and Edward Shaffer,
nephew and son respectively, of the
partners, were rearrested and placed
in Jail tonight, after they had been
questioned and released today. The
elder Singer and Shaffer were sought,
but it was believed they probably
;perished in the explosion.
According to Mr.. High and Chief
:Fitzmorris, the two men held both
admitted that the firm manufactured
fireworks and that it had conducted
an illicit trade in this product. Doz-
ems of salesmen toured the Central
West taking orders, they were quoted
as saying.
More than a ton of explosives is
believed to have been consumed in
the explosion
: Only four of the eight persons
known to be dead had been identified
tonight. The other bodies were so
badly mangled as to be unrecogniz-
able.

SUPREME COURT RULES
THE UNITED STATES
BY Norman Hapgood

Washington, March 2S.-As the
supreme court rules the United States
I usually find myself seated in front
of the bench on opinion days. Even
if no "big cases" come off there is
usually something to interest the OBJ
server of how we are governed.
There was today: Congress passed
a law forcing railroads to adopt safe
ty coupling appliances. One road
broke the law and a. simple workman
named Lang got killed in conse-
quence. The majority of the court
said the road was not liable. Justice
Clarke tried to prove it was and Jus
tiee Day agreed with him.
Justice McKepna, for the majority,
said the safety device was intended to
provide safety for persons standing
on the platform. Therefore, as Lang
was not killed in the way congress is
supposed to have had in mind, there
: could be no recovery.
Lang was a brakeman. He was
working in the yard containing car
for which the coupler and draw-bar
had been missing for several days.
The yard was crowded. Lang had to
move another car around in the yard.
Through no fault of his own, as JUS
tice Clarke explained, his car bumped
into the defective car. His leg was
caught and he died. Had the New
York Central obeyed the law he would
not have been hurt.
The contention on the other side
was that the car was not in use at the
time. Whatever that has to do with
it. Justice Clarke says it was in use,
since it was in the yard to be unload
ed and was actually unloaded that
day. 1t was on track that was con-
stantly used. Anyhow, the result is
the same to the Lang family. Legis-
lation in this country is difficult art.
Heavy Dignity
I have a strong admiration for the
bearing and seriousness of these heav-
ily-laden justices, as they were hlns
into the court room from their meet
ing room across the hall. They were
seen by passing stranger, who ex'
claimed: "C-t, what dignity! They
90 about their work not only With
genuine dignity, which might we'll be
initiated by the legislative branch, but
also with unhagging industry.
At today's session Justice Mickey
nolds was absent. He is absent a
good deal of the time, either alto
eether or for a portion of the sitting.
He is the only one who seems bored
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-04-01

with his work. The others are COM
pietely devoted But with all the
rumors about resignation he is never
mentioned. Only the hard working
ones are mentioned.
The new outburst of rumor about
the intention of Chief Justice White
to resign has absolutely no founda-
ton. 1t has always been false ru-
NOR and it remains one. Similar sto-
ries have been revived in the papers
lately about other members of the
court. Mr.. Justice Holmes is 80 years
old, but there is not man in the
United States who could fill his place.
Two others are mentioned, but nei-
thcr Justice McKenna nor Justice Day
has the slightest intention of resign
ing.
The Age Question
This question Of age on the court
is a puzzling one. AS matter OF
principle it seems clear enough. But
it becomes befuddling when reduced
to specific application. Not only is
Mr.. Holmes at 80 perfect judge,
both in the quality of his thinking and
in the amount of work turned in. But
the youngest man of the court is the
one | have spoken of as not only the
most reactionary, but also the LATEST.
General principles have trying way
of going back On US in specific prob
lens.
What is behind this recrudescence
of the White rumor? Some would at
tribuate it to the desire Of the old
time politicians to get rid of Mr..
Hughes and put somebody of their
own choice in the state department.
The present unfounded gossip about
designations is not unlike what hap
pened under President Roosevelt, ex-
cept that Mr.. Roosevelt was obviously
eager for vacancies. He thought
Justice Brewer ought to get off and
at one time he also apparently want
ed Justice Harlan to resign. But the
most definite occurrence was in con-
nection with Chief Justice Fuller.
No Resignations
/, Chief Justice Fuller was sick for
some time. It is the custom of the
justices to call to pay their respects
once year to the president. The
usual time is the first day of the court
term. The illness of Chief Justice
Fuller prevented his calling. So ne
turned up about month later. Pres
ident Roosevelt was delighted. He
thought the .longed-for resignation
was coming.
Nothing was said about it, however,
so the president asked: care you 60
ing to resume your work?"
81 have already resumed it" said
the chief justice.
The president then approached the
question of whether he had any in
tention of resigning, whereupon the
chief justice told him about an ac-
ouaintance of his who was asked the
same question and who answered: u
have already rendered my resigna-
ton. l rendered it to the Lord; He
will accept it in His own good time"
