NOT NON SENSE

Many people may deem il remark able that supposedly intelligent man director Of the American Institute for Scientific Research, should take q long trip to Investigate a ghost story. This is what Dr. Walter Franklin Prince has done, as yet with no ap- parent results.
 Tho &ctlon ig not remarkable. Ho as well US other scientists, are con- Ninccd that there are phenomena of mind and possibly matter not thor oughly understood by human beings. llN, and others, are as interested. al most, l in helping to disprovc false theories as they are in establishing new ones There may be little head way made in clearing up the mysteri- ous in the realms Of the psychic until the false assumptions are discarded, the worthless testimony ruled out"
 Probably Dr Prince would have been as surprised as anyone more crcdulous if he had seen felt or sens- ed a ghost as the word is popularly understood. He was and undoubtedly is intensely interested in the condi-. tons which evidently made such an impression upon the minds of those reported to have had experiences with this particular ghost" that they are convinced an orthodox ghost" did project itself into their surroundings.
 1t is not nonsense on the part of scientific men to investigate such tales, Psychologists learn much from such cas5es, physicians gain knowledge of the workings of the mind which aids them in their profession, super stition may be dispeled and a greater accuracy obtained in searching for the truth. the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth"

IMITATOR Ot' "CHARI!E."

An interesting legal question has
 been raised by the action of Charlie" Chaplin to restrain q film company from presenting a man who seems to adopt some of Charles" peculiar antics and who uses the name Charlie Aplin," which is not his own. How far is man allowed to go in stealing the thunder" of another to his own personal profit?
 The law will not stop man from using his own name to advertise him self if, indeed, it is his own name even though that name has been made notorious or famous by anoth- CT and financial profit comes to the less well known person because of the others fame. The law will hcsi- tate long before preventing any mans acting as he chooses on the stage or before the camera. even though he initiates another It is hardly sus- ccptDle Of proof that there can be no question he is, in fact, initiating. Those mannerisms may be quite natural to him.
 But there can be little doubt but that man is seeking to profit by the fame of another when, in addition to acting in the same peculiar manner as that of other famous person, he so alters his name that it resembles ,he name of the other. In such case the law will restrain the man from using such similar names, or com bining the name with the probably initiated actions. Charlie" Chaplin will get some relief from. his injunc- .icn ecuon.

GENOA DECISION,

President Harding has decided that the United States will not be repre- sented at the Genoa conference. Hav- ing made this decision he is on his way South for a rest. The decision was announced through communi- cation from Secretary of State Hughes, who has just returned from short vacation.
 MT. Hughes communication bases the refusal on the belief that the coming Genoa conference will be po lltlcal rather than economic. More over it intimates that the United States cannot see any way to help Russia while those responsible for her present economic distress remain firm in their present course. meaning. without a doubt, their maintenance Of a large army at the expense of in dustrial progress.
 The present situation in Europe is such that acceptance of the invitation to the Genoa conference would have been a step which even President Harding, with his leaning toward a closer association with other nations. was unwilling to advocate, much less take A very light straw is sufficient, sometimes, to turn a balance, espec- tally if the balance is wavering. The Plume situation was some wind in which the executive scales were ex- posed; the discussion over the resig- nation of Lloyd George, though but d temporary breeze it is believed, also had it's effect, not, perhaps on the general feeling at Washington, which has been against acceptance, but sure- ly upon President Harding.
 It is to be hoped that out of the Genoa conference may come a gitua- ton which will permit of acceptance by the United States to a true eco homie conference, held in calm weather.

RORABACK LETTER FACTS

"1'he Hartford Courant" today says 1t has been asked to correct mis- leading statement published in "The New Britain Herald" news columns to act on the committee" appointed by State Commander Seymour of the American Legion to collect funds for the administration of the state fund for veterans.
 ''The Herald" did make this state ment in it's news: "J. Henry Roraback refused to act on the committee ap pointed by Commander Seymour to defray the expenses of the state fund"
 '"rhe Courant" states today, edi- torially: Chairman Roraback of the Republican state central committee took the proper course in refusing to make charity objects of the state fund beneficiaries but in offering to help the legion to its feet so that it could handle the matter itself"
 Aside from the editorial charactori- zation of the proposed work of the committee as appointed by Command CT Seymour, "The Courant' appears to- believe, with "The Herald" that MT. Roraback did refuse to act' in the capacity suggested by Commander Seymour

AMERICAN IDEAS

The Frenchman who broke all Paris dressmaking and marketing tra- ditions by inviting newspapermen to view his spring and summer dress creations for women, is reported as having American Ideas" The secrets of the dressmaking business have heretofore been guarded with scrup- ulous care in Paris by the trade. Civ ing this chance to newspaper men to obtain minute descriptions of what will be worn is fraught with geat danger, in the opinion of the old time creators of womens costumes.
 They are wrong, all wrong. If, as the report states, those admitted were merely newspaper men," and not male dress experts, it is safe to say that any woman who had a dress made from any description any newspaper man. would write would find the resultant garment would be cduly ulllihe etHS uItSS llidt Sllc ever saw. And meanwhile the Paris F'renchman would be getting all sorts which would describe the beauty of the garments shown in the most gen. or brilliant, beautiful, glowing ef- feet" while there would be no accur- ate descriptions that would mar the exclusiveness of the garments he had made.
 But in connection with the asser- ton that the man had "Amercan ideas there is more important thought. Americans take to them- selves credit for originality. and pro- gressiveness. Much of this credit is deserved. But today is no time to rest upon the original laurels and past Reputation for progressiveness. Amer jeans, including New Workers, and New Britanites should remember that they are credited with this originality and progressiveness and should see to 1t that new thoughts are given out to continue that deserved reputation.
 In the United States government, for instance, there is great chance for originality in financial and economic matters in the discovery of a sound bonus plan for war veterans. In the government of this city there is great chance for originality and ingenuity iE discovering means for economy un- attended by injustice and ineflicicncy.

BECOMING \ VOTER.

Perhaps t docs not strike former residents of other cities or towns in this state as peculiar that they, too, upon coming to New Brit an 10 live, have to go through this operation. But such is the fact, and the fact is, also, that many people rom other states and possibly from other cities or towns neglect to take the trouble to be made voters here. Most of those to be made" the twen- ty-fifth or the twenty-seventh of this month are newly naturalized citizens, young people just having reached the voting age, or women who have not yet become voters.

Probably no more than reminder of the situation is necessary, but the reminder is given in order that there may be as general an expression of opinion of the people of New Britain at the coming election as it is possible to obtain. Applications will be received until March 1G at five p. m. The making of voters comes March 25 and March P.

 But there was no answer
 Six hours after picking up the first call from the Grontoft the kstonia reached her reported position and though she cruised about for four hours, failed to find even trace of wreckage.
