Homeric Arrives
at Night, Making
Record in Docking
Mrs. Tingley, Theosophical
Leader, Returns-Two of Her
Young Pupils Detained.

The White Star liner Homeric, n ON
Southampton and cherbourg, was re-
leased from Quarantine last night In
less than an hour after she had dropped
anchor and her commander, Capt f. b.
Howarth. after considering the favorable
tidal conditions and the windless air de-
cided TO seek a record IN docking He
won handsomely. the big ship tying up
exactly 56 minutes after she left Quar-
antine. or at :32 O'Clock, This is two
minutes better than the previous record,
held by the Cunarder Aquitania.
Mrs. Katherine Tingley, who claims
the title of the leader of the TheGsophi-
cal movement throughout the world" re-
turned by the liner from European
lecture tour with two young pupils, ano
was much disturbed when informed that
they could not leave with her by/an
early morning train to-day because their
status would require investigation by
the immigration officials. The pupils
are Lucy Goud 10, daughter of 2 rail-
way official of Utrecht, and niece of Arie
Goud, director of the Universal Brother
hood and Theosophical Society In Hol-
land, and Margaret Stanley. "a, daugh-
ter OF S. w. Stanley, London artist,
who is a member of Mrs Tinsley's So
ciety. Both children are going to the
Raja-Yoga School at Point Iona, Cali
fornia, to be educated.
The reason for holding the little ones
is that the law forbids alien children
under the age of 16, unaccompanied by
a parent, entering the country. There
will be an examination at Ellis Island
to-day.
IN Mrs. Tingley's party were Anders
de Wahl, a Swedish actor from Stock

of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, who
will accompany her on her lecture tour !;
Iverson l.. Harris. Mrs. Tingley's pri-
vate secretary, and Lieut.. Alarik Unger-
Soderberg of the Swedish army, who
was Mrs. Tingley's advance agent In
Sweden.
Mrs Tingley was asked to express
an opinion of Conan Doyle and Sir
Qlver lodges spiritualistic beliefs. and
shs said she had the highest respect for
their sincerity and genius but that they
were mistaken in their impression that
they had either seen or communicated
with departed friends. She said spirits
never came back, but continued on pro-

Writer of Thrillers Comes
Back From Farm to see\
His Plays Screened.

Lincoln ]. Carter. whose hair raising
melodramas used to make strong men
weep and drive sleep from the eyes OF
the young is coming back from his quiet
Western farm to put all his old time
thrillers into the movies. This prolific
writer often called the father OF mod
ern melodrama and author of scores OF
popular plays of generation ago ar
rived in New York yesterday 10 confer
with officials OF the Fox Film Corpora
ton regarding a project by which many
OF his works will be seen upon the
screen in the near future. Mr. Garter
was accompanied by his wife, ana is
staying at the Plaza Hotel
Fifteen years ago, after accumuiatihs
fortune by catering to the popular love
for this type of drama. Mr.. Carter re-
tired from active work. bought a large
farm in Illinois and settled down 70
lead contented. retired life. he decided
the American public was through with
melodrama. There were no more thrilis
he could think of for he had used them
ALL but the movies found him out
Tempting offers were made him TO turn
his melodramas into photodramas. Ana
so, gentleman farmer and ex-playrighi'
with a luxurious and 'bushy beard such
as one would expect from kankakee'
has emerged from his seclusion and at
the age of IS, is about to aid In the
transition of his melodramas into screen
spectaces.
''The public of to-day loves thrills just
as the audiences of generation ago
liked my melodramas,' said Mr.. Carter
yesterday, when seen at his hotel, AFTER
all, the society and crook plays OF to-day
are simply the old melodramas repol-
ished and rewritten. Most people love
thrills, and now that my melodramas are
to be done upon the screen / am here to
help see that they are presented right.
Furthermore, 1 think the screen would
take a great step forward If 1t would
concentrate more on good, healthy melo-
dramas and thrills rather than upon
the sex problems that have been over
done so much in the movies lately"
Several of Mr.. Carter's former theat-
rical friends will give luncheon for
him at Murray's restaurant this after

Don't be in a hurry. You will

Make each character concise in it
self. Don't leave any space between
the dot and the dash of the first let

Learn Slowly.
When you have learned the "a"

letter. 1t is much harder. Stop
after each effort.
Don't take more than four letters
a day. Be sure you know those be-
fore you go on to the next group.
When you feel that you have mas
tered the alphabet, learn the code
for the period, comma, question

about other characters.
Don't expect to start plucking mes

will take a little time before you will
be sure of yourself. But once you
get started, you will realize that
there is lots more in the air
Than the voices and concerts sent

RADIO PRIMER

Ground = connection with the
earth or any conductor leading into
the earth SO as to complete an cleo
trical circuit.
The atenna is gorunded and the
circuit closed when the radio instru-
ments are not in use, to direct all
electrical charges directly into the
earth.
Receiving and sending apparatus
are grounded, so as to form COM
plete circuit in their operation.
Grounding takes the place of a
wire that would have to be used to
complete any circuit for an electrical
current to run through it.

A courtesy which is greatly appre-
