The World War scarcely had broken
out when Raymond Lodge, youngest son
of Sir Oliver Lodge, the distinguished
British physicist, educator and author,
volunteered for service.
This was in September, 1914. BY
early Spring of 1915, Second Lieut..
Lodge was in the trenches near Ypres.
That Summer he had numerous mar
row escapes from Shell-fire and Shrap-
mel.
Early in September Sir Oliver and
Lady Lodge were at Gullane, East
Lothian, for few weeks stay. At this
been received by an American was
transmitted to Sir oliver. 1t contained
a warning that blow of a service ma.
ture was about to fall upon him.
On September II, "a telegram came
from the British war office. On Sep
TENDER IA, during an attack on HODGE
Hill, Lieut.. Raymond Lodge had been
struck by a shell fragment. He had
died in a few hours.
What are the implications Of sue
ceeding events?
Sir Oliver for some time had been a
determined investigator of psychic
phenomena, making no secret OF his
conviction mot merely that personality
persists, but that its continued exist
ence is more intertwined with the life
of every day than has been generally
imagined" Would he now obtain proof
OF the continuing personality of his
son? From the viewpoint of one hold
ing his opinions the circumstances were
entirely favorable, for the closest
felicity obtained between himself and
Raymond Lodge. They had strong
similarities of ability and taSte-innu-
merable, similar, mental traits.
On September Is, Lady Lodge re-
ceived message which purported to
come from her son. It was:

PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF
NOTED MEN AND WOMEN
Sir Oliver Lodge and His Dead Son RAYMOND, With Whom
He Claims TO Communicate.
BY ]. p. GLASS.

Tell father 1 have met some friends
Of MIS-"
The whole world knows now of the
long continuing series OF communlca-
tions which Sir Oliver and his family
claim to have had with Raymond.
The next day, Lady Lodge wrote on q
scrap of paper a message to her son.
1t said, in part:
Raymond, darling, you have gone
from our world, and oh, to ease the
pain! l want to know II you are
happy. and that you yourself are really
talking to me and no sham"
Though in the first shock Of be-
reavement," wrote Sir Oliver Lodge on
September 30, 1915, the outlook OF
life felt irretrievably darkened, a per-
ception of his (Raymond'S) continued
usefulness has mercifully dawned upon
u.s. and we know that his activity is not
over. We have clear hopes for the
future"
1t was in the three days, including
| and following September 81, that the
| mination. On the afternoon of Sep
TENDER II, Lady Lodge obtained the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS from Raymond:
Now, father will be able to speak
out! Much flrmer than he has ever
done, because it will touch our hearts
Sir Oliver concluded that Raymond
Lodges new activity was of usefulness
TO teach human beings, through his
father, that death is not the end of
personality and that life on earth, &C
ooroingly as 1t is lived, has to do with
happiness or unhappiness after death.
Messages which Sir Oliver believes to
have come from his son reveal many
-. men and women heart-broken .
a great deal Of work to do as soon as
I am little more ready 1t is not
a dismal hole such as people think, it
is place where there is life."

even choose to reach your destination
in an open car II the weather Is warm,
and open-air dining Is becoming more
and more usual. With a securely ar
ranged turban you do not have to give
thought to the appearance of your hair.
For daylight dining many women
choose long-sleeved chiffon dresses and
with these one may wear the draped
turban or hat. Sometimes wide,
fioppy- brimmed light straw is chosen
but when one dances the smaller shapes
are more appropriate. The actual shape
of the evening hat may not differ much
from the daytime hat, but 1t must be
very light and not too stiff. There are
little toques of the turned-back cuff
sort made entirely from ribbon. A
close fitting bicorne made from black
ribbon was recently worn with figured
chiffon evening gown with long sleeves.
The most practical sort of slip that
designer; have ever devised Is the new
wrap-around shadow-proof sort that
can be put together in an hour. II you

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JAsTROW.

what you write looks. The visual pic
ture comes first, for children learn to
read long before they learn to write.
Children at first don't write, they trace
or draw; it's long slow process, and
only when 1t Is a bit fluent may 1t be
called writing.
Next, most of us are right-handed,
which means that we have a tendency
to do things, especially to make fine,
accurate movements better with the
right hand; and that means that that
portion of the brain with which We
perform those skilled movements is
better developed in the left half of the
brain (for the greater mass of the nerve
fibers involved cross over on their way
down from brain to hand)! ConSe-
Quently we have a better trained right
hand. and the left hand in right-handed
persons follows the lead of the right.
If you will take pencil in each hand
and start at the center of the sheet and
write with both hands at the same time
quickly and without much thinking
about it. just letting yourself go. you
will find that with the same impulse
you win write as you ordinarily do with
the right hand but in mirror script with
the left hand; or, still more simply,
write the word "m-a-n" in the air and
make the imaginary forms. This results
from having the left hand exactly
duplicate the movements Of the right
hand the right hand moves in the
direction from thumb to little finger
and so does the left.
It is the fact that left-handed chill
dren (about four in a hundred) espe-
cially under pressure to write with the
right hand, tend to write mirror script.
There are many cases on record in
which a left-handed child wrote quite
properly so long as it was permitted to
write with the left hand, but wrote
mirror script when forced to use the
right hand. In the left-handed the
LETT is the preferred hand and leads
the right. In some cases this change
threw other motor mechanisms out of
gear; and the child began to stutter
by reason Of the unnatural effort. All
this is more apt to happen in children
whose coordination Is poor, as Is def
! nitely stated in regard to this boy;
but We are not told whether he is
left-handed.
So the answer Is that mirror writing
alone is not sign Of defect in the
brain and certainly not anywhere else.
It's just popularity of q stage of de-
velopment in acquiring coordination.
1t most cases 1t entirely disappears as
coordination Is acquired and Is not a
serious symptom ordinarily. The child
should be examined and his progress
guided by one familiar with such cases.
This is good example showing that
by studying how we learn a thing we
learn what may occasionally happen
when the learning doesn't follow the
provision made by nature for 1t.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLs.

Most writer's on the meaning OF years
have taken a rather pessimistic view
of the worth of a man 60 and beyond.
Just why they should, l am at loss
to know. unless 1t be that men really
aged more rapidly formerly than they
do today. 1t is impossible for me to
agree with Anthony Trollope, when he
says In The Fixed Period" that men
past so should be thrown over the
bridge as was the custom in ancient
Rome.
Many are the SeXagenarians (men
in the SiXtieS) whose minds stand out
fresh and alert. despite the many ply
steal incapacitieS that they may
take on.
It seems to me that the question
of approaching old age has been miser-
ably treated. The emphasis has been
on the wrong point of view, for some
men are as old at 35 as others are at
IS. Marks on the calendar mean less
and less as one passes the stage OF
physical development. I mean by this
that age after all is state OF mind.
If psychology means anything in daily
life, it should offer some suggestions
about mental age rather than abous
chronological age and the physical
infirmities that accompany it.
The big psychological task Of the
sexagenarian is to beat down preju-
dice Those who age get the habit Of
forming judgments before the facts
are in. That's what the word preju-
dice means.
The best way to keep away from
prejudiceS Is to associate with young
people, and to keep on planning big
things, just as youth does.
Have you not noticed that when q
man retires he usually goes to pieces,
whether or not his physical condition
at the time Of retirement demanded
| retirement? Men actually begin to
look old when they begin to talk of
| their "old days." when they begin to
| plan for retirement. This, think, Is
about the only sense In which n may
be said that mind influences matter.

NV Neighbor Says:

Green corn spoils very quickly
and should be used as soon as
possible after purchasing 1t. Do
not remove the husks until time
to put the corn on to boil.
When preserving, if the rubbers
have bulged after the jars have
been removed from the water,
put on new rubbers and replace
the Jars in the water to be ster-
ilized 10 minutes longer.
Before pouring hot paraffin over
newly made jelly. lay a piece OF
white store string about six
inches long over the top Of the
Jelly. When the paraftin is
added it will harden over the
cord. Later when the jelly Is to
be opened, it is necessary only
to take hold of the two ends OF
the cord to lift the paraftin cover
Off.
Use mucilage paper such as is
used to seal bundles IN stores to
label Jars. Cut off pieces large
enough to write on them what
the jars contain.

Reply:
Mirror-writing in children isn't very
common, nor yet very rare II you in
clude those who have a slight tendency
in that direction or show il for a short
time only. 1t belongs to the stage Of
learning to write, and that to the stage
OF learning to do things by watching
the result of our doing them. The
reason why mirror-writing isn't easy to
explain Is because our interest ard at
tention goes to the doing OF things, not
to how We do them. But If you will
attend closely you'll see where the pos
sibility OF mirror-writing comes in.
First, note that when you draw or
write with your hand your eye sees
and follows what your pen or pencil
records; and it does it always in one
and the same direction for writing, for
us from left to right. So we get a
feeling of how 1t feels when we move
the pen from left to right and how the
writing looks when 1t results from a
left-to-right movement.
What you see and how your muscles
feel fuse as one experience. When you
write in the dark or with your eyes
closed, you have a mental picture of how
