Communication by Telepathic Waves
 Plan of Professor

CAMBRIDGE April 8--Experiments in thought transmission unprecedent- ed in their scope and aiming eventual ly at transatlantic communication by telepathetic waves are under way, 1t was learned today from member of the Harvard faculty. Already thoughts have been received here from New York and mental transmission from Paris to Cambridge is soon to be at tempted, it was announced.
 Dr. Gardner Murphy, research fel- low in psychology, and pr. Harry Hell son, an assistant in the Harvard psy- chological department, are in charge of the experiments.
 The transfer of thoughts over great er distance is not unknown, Dr. Hell son explained, and such messages are known to have been sent from this continent to Africa, but the phenome- na have been sporadic, he said

English Blockade of Germany After The War is Played as
 Rotten Trick

LONDON, April 5-Modern men are "caught in the cogs of mighty engine that grinds the life out of them for no rational and justifiable end," declares Rev. R. J. Campbell, D. D., one of Englands best known religious publicists.
 Modern industrial civilization, on the whole is bad thing. Rev. Camp bell states, and declares that the time has come when it should be replaced by 'saner and more harmonious mode of regulating our common ac- tivities."
 "We live too much by mechanism and too little by cultural values" the doctor says. We tend to think always in terms of the machine; it is ever in the foreground of our vision, and if we could manage to alter the perspec- tive drastically we should be all the better for it.
 "Our inventions and discoveries are nearly all in the direction of speeding up-but for what? We are disem- boweling Nature as fast as we can, but we grow no happier in the process rather the contrary.
 "One of the greatest anomalies of the age is that with all our vastly ac- celerated methods of producing mater ial wealth, we have not yet learned than ever; the strain of living becomes more intense; it's demands upon us grow rapidly greater, without any cor responding accession of general we'll being.
 "The thing is 50 foolish that we should have done with it if we were not so deeply immersed in it and sc completely fashioned by it as to take it for granted.
 "The remedy does not lie in the hands of any one man or any one gov ernment. It will involve an entire chage of outlook on the part of civlll- ed mankind; and this may come soon CT than we dare to hope.
 'Some day we may realize that Cht scramble is not worth while, that our material gains are too dearly purchas- ed. and that, without losing anything worth retaining. we can slow dowr and take more time to think about what man is than about what he was.

Berlin Theaters
Unite to Reduce
Actors Salaries

BERLIN, Dec. 27,-Highly paid
stars and superstars Of the Berlin
stage are walking about with long
faces these days. A drastic cut in
pay is in the offing for them. Al
ready the National Federation Of
Stage Producers has agreed that the
fees of stars must come down, and
now managers in the various cities
are getting together to put the YER
diet into effect.
The Berlin theatrical directors
have a great diversity Of interests
and viewpoints, and it is usually diff
ficult to get them together on any
proposition They are unanimous,
however. in agreeing, first, that this
years theatrical season is the worst
in years, and. second, that the prom
inent stars are charging such cx.
orbitant fees that prices OF admis-
sion must be boosted to A point
where the public cannot afford TO
patronize the theater.
1t has been tentatively agreed tina,
Berlin stars are to be paid from 20
to 400 marks a night. It remains
to be seen whether actors and &C
tressCs accustomed, many of them.
to 500 marks and more a night will
accept this drastic reduction.

War on Rats Is Begun
When Bubonic Plague
Is Found on Rodents

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. PA wide
spread rat determination campaign
was under way Saturday after a re-
port by health officials that five out
OF forty rodents examined were in
fected with bubonic plague. No
cases among human beings have
been reported, and as the section
inhabited by the rats is remote from
the city proper, there is little fear
that the disease will spread.
Restrictions have been placed
along the western water front where
the infected rodents were found and
ships docking in this section must
be fumigated, according to DR.. r.
II. Creel, of the United States pub
lie health service.
Officials OF Ala media, Berkeley and
Oakland conferred with health Off
GERS to effect an extensive campaign
to rid the district of the disease car
riers. Tie three cities have been
asked for SO 09e Il be used in the
campaign The federal government
will contribute $4,000, according to
DR.. Cre2i, making a total of $4,000
to be expended curing the next three
months for raj determination.

EMBARGOOF BRITAIN
ON j. s. POTATOES.
QUICKLY PROTESTED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. q. - The
British embargo on American pota-
toes brought appeals today to several
government departments for coop
Grafton in an effort to have the ban
modified.
Senator Hale, Of Maine, acting IN
protests from Maine growers, called
at the state ard agricultural depart
ments to discuss the situation but
detailed action was deferred. At
the. Same time confirmation of dis
patches telling of the embargo reach
ed the British embassy and the de-
partment of agriculture. At the EN-
bassy it was announced that the en-
barge, which applies only to England
and Wales, became effective Decem-
Der IS, but that potatoes then en-
route would be allowed to enter.
Maine potato growers, Senator
Hale said, would be particularly hard
hit by the British action BECAUSE of
u surplus OF the product in that state
this year. Virginia, North Carolina,
New Jersey and New Yorl also
would be affected, he said.
At the agriculture department,
some officials, although hesitating to
comment in the absence of detailed
information, said they were puzzled
1T the development. The Colorado
beetle, or the common potato bug,
the pest at. which the embargo is
aimed, is held by these officials to
be very easily controlled and it long
ago ceased to cause American farm
ers great concern. The British Isles,
however, have been free Of the beetle.
The departments advices also de-
Llared that Canadian potatoes were
not included in the embargo, and it
was pointed out that the beetle per
haps is more firmly established i'll
certain Canadian provinces than IN
the United states.
The only statement at the depart
ment of agriculture was to the effect
that the department is always con-
cerned over any restriction of the
market for American products. The
British Isles normally are pota,o eX
porters, it was said, but are import
ing this year due to a short home
crop. 1t was thought this situation
might have caused the embargo TO
be placed as a protection against the
beetle during the importing period.
i, Transportation of the insect TO
England from the United States
would largely be accidental, it was
said by some officials, who described
the bug as a leaf feeder and as more
likely to be carried in green stuffs
than ir potato sacks

Opium Conference
Was Not a Failure,
Bishop Brent SAYS

BUFFALO, Dec. 27.-Bishop c. h
Brent, of the Episcopal diocese of
Buffalo, speaking at a luncheon to-
day, rendered him by the city in rec
oGnition of his recent work in con
nection with the international opium
conference at Geneva, reiterated that
he did not consider the conference Il
failure and that he had not left it
in disgust.
He described the events which pre-
coded his withdrawal from the con-
ference and the treaty prepared by
the eight nations which was made
known week before it was to be
signed and which he said the Amcri-
can delegates at once decided to as
sail as a "disgraceful and ridiculous
document" At this stage, he said,
he felt that his services were needed
in work at home, and he departed,
but stopped in France and England.
II visited the French minister"
said the bishop, "and showed him Il
copy of the treaty and told him that
France could not afford to sign such
a ridiculous document Two days
later the French dele2a ton was bid
den by its government to withhold
its signature.
''Then l went to the British head
quarters. l gave the foreign office
q copy Of the treaty and OF our criti-
cism. ] told them to study it Later,
as | was informed by radio, when the
day for signing arrived, Great Brit
ain and France laid they were not
in position to sign. The upshot of
it was that nobody signed and India
held the document in its hands
which il alone had signed,

SWANSON ANALYZES
VOTED DEMOCRATIC
STRENGTH SHOWN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Analy-
sis of the presidential vote was
declared Saturday by Senator Swan
son, Democrat: Virginia, chairman
of the speakers bureau of the Demo
cratic national committee, to- show
most encouraging future prospects
for the Democratic party" despite
the large plurality for President
Coolidge.
Senator Swanson pointed out that
in - states which gave it's electoral
votes to the Republicans, the COM
bined popular vote for John w. Da
Wis and Senator LaFollette, indepen-
dent candidate, was greater than
for President Coolidge. AS a re-
suit, he said, there are 235 electo-
raj votes in the electoral college,
where the people clearly indicate
antagonism to the existing Repub-
lican administration, lacking only 81
votes of a majority Of the college"
A change of between two and six
per cent in the popular vote in other
states carried by President Coolidge
would have increased the opposition
electoral vote by So, or a majority
Senator Swanson said.
Study of. the vote revealed, how
ever, Senator Swanson declared,
that a third party but tends to aid
the Republican party and its con-
tinuance in power"
The Ceturns clearly Indicate"
he concluded, that the Democratic
party has q constituency in the
country which will give it support
and restore it to power if it con-
ducts itself wisely, broadly and pa
triotically, and shows itself worthy
of responsibility and power. A ma
jority of the people in the United
States favor the Democratic party
and its principles if they are adj
hered to and followed.

Man Who Made
Billions of Dollars
Says IT. Montonous

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 27.-Den-
mis- Condron, sixty-eight, has made
more money than John ID. Rockefel-
Ter and Henry Ford put together,
but not cent of the vast fortune
he has made" belongs to him.
Condron today celebrated his thir-
tieth anniversary of his employment
as meter of gold and silver at the
United States mint here. During
his employment at Uncle Sans
money factory he has turned out bill
lions of dollars.
It's a good job, but after while
handling precious metals is no more
exciting than handling mud pies"
Condron said. And the job isn't
very profitable, for q plumber gets
three times as much as [ do, but
please remember he melts solder
while all melt is silver and gold.
