BABY THELdA REMARKABLY
FOR MENTAL TEIEPATHY

Many people are skeDtical regarding
mental 'te.epathy, and more especially so
when they see it worked in q theatre, for
it is known that there has been more or
less hoax to it, and the thought is con-
veycd through the form of question asked
Many of those who saw Baby Thelma,
seven year old girl tell correctly the
numbers of watch movements, inscrip-
tions on coins. dates on coins. AID many
other things while she sat blindfo.dsd on
the stage at Davis theatre on Thursday,
came away still skeptical- Others be-
lieved in the superhuman or rather more
developed powers Of concentration in the
little tot on tho stage.
The representative of the press him
self was among the former class and
was as skeptical as anyone present in
the audience until positively convinced
by his own tests that Baby Thelna pos
sessed one of the remarkably developed
brains in the power of thought transmits
sion. In a talk with Baby Thelma in
her dressing room after the performance
it was ably demonstrated that the little
tot was fully il0ie to receive unspoken
thoughts from her father or sister. Lit
tie Thelnla was able to tell numbers of
which only two people in the room had
knowledge.
The little tot is a strictly human, nor
NAL child, with the interests of the aver
age child at heart, and does not from
any outward appearance show that she is
aware of her exceptional qualities. On
Thursday evening she took great interest
in the feature picture which she watched
intently from the wings. She also took a
great and childish interest in the other
acts on the bill and laughed heartily with
the audience at the humorous things.
Baby Thelma has only been on the
road for about six or seven months ano
gives great promise of becoming one OF
the greatest of mental telepathists in the
world, and undoubtedly is the youngest
Her remarkable power was discovered
accidentally through a friend of Mr.
Wells, her father, who observed one day
that the little tot anticipated his ever,

SQUIRE ANNOUNCES
 CONN. FUND CHANGE
Needy Ex-SerViCe Men Without
 Dependents to Be Cut

Chairman William w. T. Squire of tho state fund committee of the Eddy Glover post, American Legion, has sent in the following letter to the Herald which is self explanatory:
 For the information of the eN- service men in New Britain who have been receiving aid from the state fund through the Eddy Glover post. Ameri- can Legion, I wish to state that pend ing action on the part of the state leg islature granting us an emergency fund it has been necessary to cut the remittances very considerably in order to avoid being absolutely without funds.
 Tt was decided to cut all single men not having actual dependents for a week or two and 10 reduce all othaS checks g %. It was estimated that the weekly remittances would thereby be cut in half which will allow us to continue for a time until we receive an emergency appropriation from the leg islature.
 If the legislature grants the emergency appropriation we have asked for, we will endeavor to resume payments on the old scale, but it will be administered with greater caution than ever because there are men who have been abusing the fund and we are doing all that we can to weed them out. This fund is not a bonus and many men believe they are entitled to it who are neither i'll nor needy nor really up against it.
 ''We are trying to play the game fair but the service men in New Britain are not making our jobs pleasant by assuming the attitude that the local committee is to blame when the checks fail to arrive"
