TELEPATHY TESTS
TO BE. MADE BY WOR

There has been a great deal of
discussion among psychologists ana
others over the question whether
thought transference or mental
telepathy occurs; and most scien-
lists who have given the question
serious thought are inclined to be-
lieve that II does occur.
On Wednesday WOR will coon
crate with the Scientific American
in an attempt to learn whether
there is any connection between
telepathy and radio-whether telep-
athy works through waves similar
to radio waves and whether the
presence Of the radio wave in the
air makes telepathy more certain.
Every member of the radio audi.
ence will have the opportunity to
take part in this test; the success
of the test will, in fact, depend
entirely upon the number who as.
sist.
Tests will be conducted by I
Malcolm Bird. Bird has travelled
extensively here and abroad in ex.
animation of telepathy and allied
manifestations.

CONNECT ONE DRY CELL
IN SERIES WITH BATTERY

1t is sometimes annoying to have
the storage battery run down just
when friends are arriving to hear
the set. To rectify this, and Incl
dentally prevent the friends from
thinking that radio always goes to
the bad when most needed, coi.nect
one dry cell In series with the
storage battery.
This will raise the voltage of the
storage battery sufficiently TO oper.
ate the set at full efficiency.

Following the Irish.

We hung a couple of shamrocks
on our set last night and then lit
the lamps. If Ireland was still
lying across the Atlantic, we are
Roxy's twin. Erin was at every
point on the dials with one of its
sons or daughters extolling it's vir-
tues in song or speech.
We once were led to believe that
man by the name Of Schwartz
lived in Cincinnati. He must have
died since that time.
WLW was off to a rare start at
the 800 post with a st. Patrick's
program from the Hotel Sinton.
John B. Quinn, commander of the
American Legion was praising the
Irish in the world war.
Easing up to $50 meters, we
found WSAI, crowded off the rail
by the ace-making WLW, but
coming strong on the outside with
a meeting of the Irish Fellowship
Club at the Hotel Gibson. All that
in CINCINNATI.
About the only places where we
failed to find a response to our
shamrocks were Tuinicu, Cuba, and
Chicago. 1t was unfortunate for
the Irish that St. Patrick's day
should have fallen on Monday night
in Chicago. The air above the
Windy City was silent as death.
After a violent encounter with
static, squeals and ships on the
asa was length. we finally cut in

ROMPING AROUND
RADIO DIAL
BY Listener-In-

A new ambition will flourish
among the youth of the Capital
today.
AS the city's ''sixes and sevens"
witness the triumphant entry of
Roxy and his Gang to Washington,
hailed by the Marine Band and a
score of prominent citizens, the
fireman's cap and the big leaguer's
youthful heart will cry to youthful
mind, Ppm going to be radio
star"
1t is a typical Roxy within that
brings the artists to Washington,
suddenly determined desire to
give the joys of radio to the coun-
try's hospitaled service men.
Soldier, sailor and marine will
welcome the artists to the Capital
and will wish them Eau revoir"
when they depart in person to re-
turn again in spirit through the
air.
And for the moment, it is fete
day for listeners-in.
Stepping Up the Power.
If anyone doubts that many
broadcasting stations are throwing
their motors wide open, let them
take a flyer around the circuit
some night and think back to three
months ago when broadcasting was
comparatively normal.
Almost every night brings in an
additional station that is stepping
up the juice. Five hundred waters,
from all appearances, are jumping
up to a thousand and thousand
waters climb to twice that power.
There are one or two stations
that must be transmitting with four
or five thousand watts behind them.
1t begins to look as though it
would result in a survival of the
wattest affair unless the powers
that be step in and allot new trans
hitting maximums to the stations.

OPENS OFFICE IN CHICAGO
Candidate Devotes Day to Noting
Mass of Congratulations.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 20.-Gen. Charles
G. Dawes expects to make his first
political campaign speech as Repub-
lican vice presidential nominee at
Lincoln, Neh., his old home. where
he practiced law, in recognition of
the unwavering support given him
by the Nebraska delegation at the
Cleveland convention.
It's settled that I'll make my first
campaign speech in my old home
state OF Nebraska" the general said
today.
1T will be at Lincoln. but the date
and arrangements. of course, are yet
to be settled by the national com
mittee. Chairman Butler will de-
termine those things. but We are
agreed that l will open my speaking
will be after my speech of accept
ance of the nomination at my home
when | am officially notified of my
nomination"
will Thank Nebraskans.
The general added that his Lin
coin address would in a way show
his appreciation of the Nebraska
delegation. which presented his name
to the Cleveland convention and
voted solidly for him through the
three ballots. The speech is expect
ed to be delivered around the first of
September.
Although the general spent his
youth in Ohio, a year after he grad =
uated from Cincinnati Law School in
1885, he moved to Lincoln and enter
ed a law partnership. In Nebraska
he rose to prominence in the public
utilities field.
Today Gen. Dawes took day off
from his business and political in
terests to devote himself to the huge
volume of mail that has nearly
swamped his office force. He has es-
tablished an Office in his home, where
today he and his assistants were
going through the stacks of congrat-
ulatory letters and messages from
all corners of the country. 1t was
at least a one-day job and the gen
pral was early,
