The New York herald., 1922-03-05

The late DR.. Crawford's eyrefis
ments along these lines were rers
formed on the Goligher circle, whose
principal medium is Miss Kathleen
Goligher. Extraordinary measures
were taken to prevent any possibility
Of fraud, and throughout all the eg-
periments no such attempt was
made. The mediums feet were tied.
locked in a box and connected with
an electrical apparatus that recorded
by means of a bell movements of her
foot. none of which measures affected
the psychical phenomena.
DIR. Crawford believes that the size
and hardness of the rod, which is the
form that the psychic matter as
sumes. is subject to the will of the
medium; it is generally soft and
plasmalike to the touch and several
inches in diameter, but may be one
inch or one-half inch in diameter
and as solid and hard as metal. He
made numerous experiments to de-
ternine the course of the psychic
matter. BY the use OF carmine pow
der-his own method--he found that
the plasma issues from the lower
part OF the trunk alone. descends
down the leg. goes around the foot
and then out, returning to the trunk.
Many impressions of the psychic
matter were made in clay.
AS regards the form that the
plasma assumes in such phenomena
as table levitation the author be-
lieves that in the case Of a light
table "the psychic structure en-
ployed is cantileyer firmly fixed to
the mediums body at one end and
gripping the undersurface or legs OF
the table with the free or working
end. II, however. the levis
tated table is a heavy one the psychic
structure employed is So
modified that the reaction, instead
of being thrown on the medium, h
applied to the floor of the room"

A special word should be said con-
cerning the treatment of the sex

frankness which might in an earlier.
more prudish and prurient day have
led to their elision. But this would
have been mistake: they are part
and parcel of the authors intention
to tell the truth. and their omission,
in a book OF this kind. would have
made the study lopsided. The simple
directness and the absence of snig-
Cling and paving give exactly the
right tone to such treatment. I
should say it constituted one of the
story's virtues.

tieians are afraid to act because the
election Is coming in November why
must we therefore be Without coal and
freeze in our homes and perhaps die
OF influenza, pneumonia r>other illness
brought on by colds? Or shall we, on ths
other hand, lie down and surrender
wholly to these Soviet labor unions and
have Mr.. Harding abdicate to Samuel
Gompefs and have the two houses of
Congress disband and give up the old
doctrines and principles OF our forefath-
ers and become a second Soviet Russia
under the present drastic rule Of these
labor Unions?
1t certainly looks as II something OF
the kind would happen IL the politicians
continue to show such weakness In deal
ing With these leaders of the coal and
railroad strikers. How long would the
Government, on the other hand, allow the
coal operators to shut down the coal
mines or the railroads to stop running
because the coal operators wanted more
money FOR coal and the railroads higher
rates'?
yet the. coal miners and the railroad
strikers are allowed to defy Federal and
State laws. Strikers have been allowed
TO murder innocent persons. to indulge
In riots and pllage. to destroy millions
OF dollars in property. Our great indus
tries are handicapped for coal and rail-

farm products is stopped. The war has
