WHAT NEXT IN ELECTRICITY?

| Away back in the nineties, Mark Twain wrote
an interesting piece about mental telegraphy--
some folks call it "telepathy." Mark recited In.
tances where he had wanted very much to hear
from this or that person, and had had 1t on his
mind strongly, and he had even sat down and
written letters to them. In each example the let
ter crossed" in the mails another from the in
Idividual in mind
Few of us but have had letters Gross" in the
mails, both written on the same subject. And how
frequently have each one of us been surprised to
find people about whom we were talking sudden
ly appear on the scene, causing us to remark:
Speak of angels and you'll hear their wings" or,
Speak of the devil" etc. And then there is the
constant recurring duplication of thought and
ideas which brings out the saying: Great minds
travel in the same direction"
Few think of these as mental teegraphy," but
are they not?
Mark Twain wrote in the days when common
biography of messages was by wire. He was
convinced that mental telegraphy was not clair
voyance or spiritism, but the action Of some I'M
known quality of electricity. Since that time
wireless teegraphy has become common. Wire
less telephony is beginning to become common.
We know that the sounds are carried through the
air by waves of electricity which wash against
poles and standpipes to which receivers are at
tached
The world is making amazing strides in the
science of electricity. What will it yield next?I
Will it be the discovery of quality or element
in electricity that, with the help Of apparatus,
will wash waves of thought from one brain toI
another?

The club missed the boys who were

The success Of the days work shows
the real worth Of the Hi-Y to the

They have raised this money TO
help spread the Hi-Y message Of

Judge Franklin visits School.

On Monday, Judge Cornell Franklin,
who now holds q position Of impor-
tance in tho Hawaiian Islands, was
a visitor at Franklin Academy and
very graciously consented TO speak
to the student body at chapel hour.
In a few clear-cut remarks he told
Of how this school came into being,
how it developed into its present
greatness and how much it had
meant to Columbus and the State.
which is still serves In a beautifully
worded closing, Judge Franklin paid
a high tribute to Mrs. Annie T. Sale,
the loved principal, describing
her as woman so rich
ly endowed by nature with those ster-
ling gifts Of character and Of worth
that she has left an imprint for good
on more lives perhaps than any 9TH

GUN UP EACH SLEEVE OF KIMoNA

AS the fated day of the Armament Conference
draws near, it appears to the average American
az If the ink in the milk is Japan-silent cunning
Japan.
We hear all sorts of talk in our very best SEN
saticna papers and magazines of the great navy
she Is building in secret; Of her mysterious bat

that mysterious engine of war. Add to this the
fact, which has been impressed on us all for a
third of century that Japan works darkly and
springs on her victim like a bludgeon-armed thief
In the night--no wonder we fear her attitude at
the coming conference.
But the American military experts do not share
our average impressions. They laugh at the
widely printed stories of the Japanese navy being
as strong or stronger than ours or that it is likely
to be as strong as ours in a few years. They

A FAVORED COMMUNITY

Columbus is indeed a favored COM

celebration of a great event, the one
hundredth anniversary of the found
ing of our city. Added to our own
people, eleven thousand of them, there
were the one thousand from the col
lege and another thousand from out
of town. Great crowds thronged the
streets, automobiles were passing to
and fro, a great fireworks display was
given, and yet-through it all--there
were no accidents, no one was hurt,
and there were no fires.
The crowds were well handled.

WORSE THAN HUSBANDS

The husband of tradition, who puts his wife's
letters in his coat pocket and forgets to mail them
may have in many cases been blamed unjusty.
Postal inspectors recently reported to Postmaster
General Hays that an average of rs pieces of
mail were every day shaken out Of supposedly
empty mail bags sent to the repair shop at Wash
ington. Whereupon Mr.. Hays ordered the i'm
mediate inspection of 100000 mail sacks and
100000 pouches at depositaries in Boston, New
York, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis, st.
Paul and San Francisco. If husbands pockets
have delayed their thousands of letters the postal
pockets may have delayed their tens of thousands.
