Early Coming of
World Teacher, Word
Of Head TheOsOphists

Madras. British India, Dec. 20. (AP)
AT the conclusion OF the Theosoph.
ical Society's jubilee convention here
Miss Annie Besant, the peSident, an
nounced the expected coming of a
world teacher" Declaring that the
world now stood at the beginning Of
a new age. Mrs. Besant added:
whenever a world teacher appears
for the purpose Of founding a new
form of the ancient truths upon
which a new civilization is to be
built, a new type of human kinda
SUFFRAGE. we call it's born. There
is definite scientific evidence that
new type is appearing within the
great Aryan type.
1T must suffice now to say that
civilization, as it grows and develops.
will be q civilization of brotherhood.
I'VE stand today at this critical
point. The world teacher will soon
be among us. 1t is known to very
many Of US that lie has slightly hast
ened what we call the date of his
coming because of troubles and all
most hopeless condition of the mod
ern world, SO that IL is the worlds
great need that calls him from his
own great retreat in the HimalayaS
to rescue the world which threatens
to perish for lack of him.
ut would indeed be strange II In
this great crisis. for the first time in
the history of the great Aryan race,
the world teacher did not come back
to his world as man among men to
guide it along the path of its further
evolution"
Theosophists in the United States
and abroad have hailed as IA new
Messiah" a young BrahmAm, j.
krishnamurti. A Hindu of old Aryan
stock, Krishnamurti was educated at
Oxford. has travelled around the
world several times and has written
various books concerning his cult.

parts of the world are reported to
have gathered at Madras for the jub-
lice of the Theosophical Society.

New Method of Securing Helium Gas
Suggested by German Engineer

A new way of getting helium has
been suggested in Germany by DR..
Kurt Peters of the Physical Technical
Institute of Berlin. 1t is to be dis
titled from radioactive minerals used
in various industries and mainly from
monazite sand, which is made into
Welsbach mantelS. Although 1t has
been known for a long time that these
minerals give off helium when heat ad
the gas has never been recovered COM
mercially. DR.. Peters claims that 1t
is the largest scource of helium in
Germany at the present time. He es-
Inmates that production of from 49,
900 to 10000 cubic feet is available an
nually. which Is a thousa ndth as much
as was lost in the Shenandoah disaster
in one day.
While this amount will not be sufe-
cient for use in dirig1bles, 1t is ex-
pected to suffice for technical pur-
poses. Helium has been most difficult
to obtain, because the United States,
which is the only country in the world
producing the rare gas in large guam
titles. has stringent export laws pro-
hibiting it's sale to foreign countries
except with the sanction of the War
and Navy Departments.
DR.. Meissner, also of the Physical
Technical Institute in Berlin, obtained
about 25 cubic feet of the gas from a
neon-helium mixture. This was OBJ
tanned as a by-product in the manu-
facture of liquid air used In Berlin re.
frigeration plants, after months of dis
tillation in the laboratory. 1t is esti-
mated that this amount of helium
came from about 100000 cubic feet

chimes to work at all the jobs men
now do and have cut down the need
for labor at least one-half?"
A. Well, now let's begin with those

They were getting 221a cents an hour
for a 12-hour day when they were car
rying 240-pound ingots on their backs.
They are now getting 81 day for a

just as many men.

saving monster. Yet what has hap
pened? We have more printers en-
ployed today than ever. Why? Be.
cause those very machines and other
machines supplementing them have
made printing so economical and Sc

labor saving machinery. Hand spin
ners were thrown out of work by the
thousands when machine spinning was
introduced. Today more than five
times the original labor force Is EN-
ployed in spinning, notwithstanding
the fact that new machinery is being
constantly installed. The truth is that
when machinery is introduced it sc
cheapens the cost of production that
most of the original laf-,r force are
eventually re-employed to furnish the
greater amount of the commodity con
sumed. And, besides, these laborers
are employed at wages so much bet
ter that their wants are increased and
every other industry feels the advan

their old views and purposes, which
to us seemed to be largely responsible
for the world tragedy, but that the
progress of events after the war, per-
haps bly,, but not less certainly,
gave them a sense of injustice, unde-
served humiliation and positive perse-
cution, which closed the door to all
development of any new German atti-
tude or state of mind. and flung a
whole people back upon itself in de-
spair and bitterness.
There is always danger Of attaching
too much importance to the success or
failure Of any single international
meeting or any single international
agreement. If Locarno produces a
pact, the value will not lie in the
terms of the pact, but the fact that 1t
witnesses by it's existence to the ar
rival of certain state of mind. More
over, If Locarno ends without a pact,
failure can have no tremendous con-
sequences, because the effort will tes-
tify to progress in international
opinion which no one could have fore
cast two years ago. when the Ruhr
seemed to doom all chance of Euro
pean recovery.
Henceforth Germany is back among
the European powers and has emerged
from the isolation which was as dan
gerous as 1t was irrational DR..
Stresemann once explained to me that
his advocacy of German entrance into
the league was based upon the convic-
ton that within the league Germany
could defend her rights and interests
as she could not In lonely isolation on
the outside. This objective he has
patiently kept clearly in mind. Lo-
carno may be the terminal station or
it may be a way station, but it does
indicate that the road to settlement is
being followed.

Men Live Emotions, While Women
Think Them, Col gate Tests Indicate

While reliable means of intelligence
testing have put to flight old fashioned
ideas of male superiority. recent
psychological tests at Colgate Univer-
sity have revealed that men still have
the edge in emotional stability. Don
aid A. Laird and Thomas McClumpha,
in testing 600 men and about 400
women students. found that women
have far many more artificial
emotional outlets than men. Men live
their emotions while women think
theirs.
Twenty per cent more women pre-
tend spurious mental fatigue than
men: 10 per cent more women are
introvert; more women, too, were neu-
raSthenic. But hysteria was about
as common with one sex as with the
other
Although the women made by far
the worse showing in these college
tests, in the country at large the oc-
currence of extreme emotional in
stability as shown in insanity is
greater with men. Messrs Laird and
McClumpha suggest it might be that
the emotionally unstable type of
women are attracted by higher edu-
cation.

Washington Portrait
Fails of Recognition

AS patron of the arts the Shanghai
American Club of Shanghai has set
out to win name for itself, but as to
what constitutes a good canvas like
ness of George Washington the club
has been forced to admit grave error
in judgment After the club building
was thrown open on its completion
the regularly constituted committee
looked around for some means TO
adorn the walls of the dining room and
the cardroom and to fill in a panel
above the fireplace in the library. 4
Russian artist was set to work with a
copy of a Washington print and a
copy of the Spirit of '76" and other
well known historical subjects. In
the course of time a huge portrait
painting was produced and nailed up
in the library. The club members
gazed en- masse and individually and
wondered who was the stranger in
their midst. Later it was rumored
that it was Washington. The club
members laughed and refused to be-
lieve it and the canvas was taken
down. A petition is now being circu-
lated among the members to have
the reproduction Of the Spirit Of '7S"
removed.
