intellectual conclusions, whatever
his philosophical or scientific creed,
was yet by nature, by endowment, by
his very birth and by instructive ten
dency an idealist.
Ideals In Conflict.
In the conscious life of Mr.. Lon
an irreconcilable conflict between his
materialistic theory and his native
idealism. This latter, the idealistic
element in his nature, was never
eradicated, though he tried to discip-
line it, to numb it, to drown it even,
If that were possible, to kill it out.
1T lived on within him despite his
philosophy, and it made a deal of
trouble for him. He found that the
world, the universe, as he conceived
them to be, were not fitted to satisfy
his nature, or that he himself was
unable to happily adjust he inmost
self to such a world ana cosmos.
This is what brought on the Long
Sickness" of which he gives a dra-
matte account in John Barleycorn.
The Long Sickness" was simply the
deathly melancholy of his soul under
the stress and strain of that unquali-
fed materialism to which an ir-
resistible logic, he thought had put
his intellect under bonds.
Now, is we are to give credence to
the professed communications from
the other world, Mr.. London did not
escape at once, with his passing on,
all the inward wrestlings which
marked his experience here. The
Commissions into which he was
plunged by the discovery that his
thinking had been all in error, and
the necessity of readjusting his
bearings, gave him something like
brainstorm. And in the midst of it he
confesses that he cannot shut his
ears to the call of this world; he is
seized upon by the old ambitions and
wishes to get back here again, with
new products of his brain. But when
he makes the endeavor to resume his
| writing career his intellect, trained
to act on the basis of his Waterfalls
tic theory of life, finds itself ham
pered and does not readily obey his
will.
Surprising Revelation.
Here comes in one of the most
surprising of these revelations, if
they are truly SUCH and so strange
1t for its very novelty. 1t is that he
has haunting memory of the way
in which John Barleycorn, in the
later earthly days, was wont to prick
their literary task. The work re-
fused to be done toward the last;
the brain would not think without
that goading thrust. ha kick. which
alcohol could unfailingly give. And
now the tragedy of it was that he
found himself barking back to the
habttual recourse to drink as the
starter OF his intellectual mechanism.
Thus IL was that. he was haunted
by the thought that perhaps he
might never get his power back in a
world where drink was not "ac-
cessible."
When the psychic asked why the
long abstinence had not delivered
him from the thirst. he replied:
II am cured of the craving, but the
old desire for the stimulus of mind.

w omen Headed For
Sex Extinction Is
Charge Of Expert
BY EDNA HUBER CHURCH,
International News Service Stan Cof'
respondent.


London, May 17.-English women
are headed straight for sex extincuon
because of their tendencies to join IN
the strenuous sports of males.
This. at least. is the opinion set
forth by George Chalmers. secretary
of the College of Preceptors' VINO
heads a committee of members OF
the medical and teaching profession |
which has been organized TO tahe
steps to prevent the sex extinction OF
English women
English women are right up with
the men in the fore ranks of sports.
They turn out, barelegged, and run
in relay races. They put the shot
and they take hurdles, and they even
want to be admitted to the various
| jockey clubs. For years they nave
been giving the men a run for their
money in the less strenuous sports
such as golf and tennis.
| The doctors and the teachers are
worried about these sporting prociiV-
tiles on the part of the women OF
| England. They are afraid that II may
eventually lead to a nation that Is
single sexed.
| THE medical profession for many
years has had misgivings about our
present system Of physical instruction
| for women" declares Chalmers.
Many of it's most distinguished mem
| bers are continually asserting from
| their own experience that the func-
tons of motherhood are impaired by
| these strenuous games, anu lAAe1I SASS
cause incalcu1able suffering in later
years.
Adding to this, we have had sound
| scientific opinions. submitted to US
| by eminent biologists, pointing out
that In these strenuous games women
are spending all their capital with
the consequence that they are pro-
| ducing an enasculated race of men,
These biologists also point out
| that woman has a male as we'll as
| female element in her constitution.
and that the accumulated effects of
| the present system Of training tend
to develop only the male In her with
the consequence that we shall soon
have species Of human beings who
| is neither man nor woman"
And there you are. Maybe this
sex extinction is on its way here In
| England, for to an American 1t GER
tainly seems that the women Of Eng
land are far more masculine than the
women Of America. English women

Jack London. in a new life into which
he was surprised to find himself
emerging after his death in 1916.
There are certain attendant circum-
stances which might we'll be borne in
mind in forming a judgment on these
messages as a possibly genuine Jack
London product.
In the first place. the psychic
through whom the alleged communi-
cations reached us is not a public or
commercial medium. She makes her
living in professional vocation and
until recent years was herself a de-
cfded materialist, with no leanings
whatever toward spiritualism. She
had met Mr.. London a few times,
but had little knowledge of him be-
yond that gathered in a casual ac-
quaintance- She is an educated and
cultured woman. In my own home
we are not spirituaists, although we
hold the immortal hope for ourselves
and our kind. While we do not rank
ourselves as spiritualfsts we are in
clined to believe that the avenues are
not wholly closed between this
sphere of life and other realms of
conscious being. And both my wife
and myself, who loved Mr., London
d1uCn ana Cner1Sn the memory or his
love for us, find many things in these
communications which impress us
with their possible genuineness.

Mr.. London's declared position,
phtlosophically, was that-of the out

of all things must be referred back

unrevised and outspoken opinion
