DENIES HUMANS MAY
TALK WITH SPIRITS
Stanford University Psychologist
Also Says There Is No Such Thing
as Mind Reading.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf,
February 6.-Ten thousand expert
ments made during the last 10 years
with Spiritualist mediums from various
parts of the Pacific Coast by Prof. j.
E. Coover of the Stanford University
department of psychology, have failed
to reveal any manifestations of super
natural power on the part of a human
being, it was stated here.
These studies form part of Prof.
Covers general work in psychical re-
search, a chair endowed by Thomas
Welton Stanford, brother of Senator
Leland Stanford, founder of the uni
versity. They are in the general field
of suggestion.
T. W. Stanford became interested in
spiritistic manifestations in Australia,
and for many years conducted seances.
His interest in the subject led him, in
1912, to give Stanford University
$50 900 for research, and in 1918 an adj
ditional $40 900 for the same purpose.
In mediumistic frances, said Prof.
COover, often it appears that the
medium has supernatural powers. but
he added that there is usually GER
tain eXaltation of faculty little under
stood. On accession. he said, a medium
surpasses himself in writing and
thought.
Mind studies are not mysterious
now" he declared. The hypnotizer or
mesmerist is known to have no spe-
cial powers over other individuals.
Hypnotism is a simple subject to those
familiar with it
From his Investigations this scientist
has learned to his satisfaction that
there is no such thing as mind read
ing, no transference of thought in the
absence of some external aid subject
to physical laws. But the American
public is gullible, he said. Even now
three-fourths of the students at this
institution believe In the feeling Of
being stared at" and could easily be
led into believing in the occult.

IN TIRE COST SEEN
Experts Before House Com
mittee Warn That Safety
of Autos Is Involved.

America s army OF automobile drivers
will spend about $500, 000, 900 more for
tires in 1926 than in any of the last
few years. The advance so far on
tires, due to the British rubber
monopoly operations, amounts TO
about $3.50 on small tires and about
S11 on larger ones, according to testi-
mony given the House committee on
interstate and foreign commerce last
week by Ernest y. Smith. general
manager of the American Automobile
Association. Mr.. Smith was one of
a large group of witnesses who testi-
tied as to the effect of British rubber
production and price restriction on the
American rubber industry.
Tire Safety Favored.
This is going to be distinct tax
on transportation. if these prices con
tinue going up as they have in the
past Mr.. Smith said. we are
afraid that the manufacturers are
going to be forced. with the increased
prices. to underline their automobiles.

claimed rubber. which is going 10

cheaper tires or underline their cars. "
Sees Revival Later.
F. A. Seiberling. president of the
rubber company of that name of
Akron, told the committee that "un-
less we raise our own rubber under
our own flag we will have this kind
of situation develop again, and it
doesn't hurt the rubber manufacturer
as seriously as it hurts the people. y
He estimated that a certain small
car. using three tires apiece annually
would cost SIS more year to operate.
"A figure he said applied to about -,
600 900 cars.
Mr.. Seiberling added that we ought
to plant at least a million acres in the
