EMERSON FOUND RELIGION LACKING
Church Unsatisfactory to Fa- nous Poet, Says Speaker Here

Belief that there is much that IS unsatisfactory in religion was the reason Ralph Waldo Emerson gave up the ministry, according to Miss Betsy Mitchell, psychiatrc social worker in the state department of health. at an open meeting of the Parents and Teachers league at the South Congregational church yesterday afternoon. Miss Mitchell spoke on Mental kinks of normal people,
 In opening her address she allud~ cd to the fact that mental hygiene began in Connecticut 20 years ago and spoke of the formation of an institute of human relations.
 She stated that Walt Whitman, the poet, spent several years study ing people 10 sec what they really were like. Ralph Waldo Emerson, she said, thought that in religion there is much that is most unsats- factory and gave up the church and preaching 10 study people and to write"
 Professor William James. phlloso- pher, also started a similar move ment, she explained. At that time it was called "pragmatisnl."
 One hundred years after the birth of Whitman, these men were considered the greatest constructive thinkers of the age"
 Tn mental hygiene there arc dit ferent methods of approach the speaker explained, pointing out that all individuals must be studied from a health standpoint and that in d study of mental hygiene the individ- ual must also fit with the rules of good health and right conduct.
 Three questions that must be an swered, she mentioned, are: How do people behave? What makes them behave as they do?" and
 What can VIC do about it ?"
 She deplored the fact that dom- ineering persons are responsible for a large proportion of disagrecments in families, divorccs and murders, and pointed out the effect of thought on matters of behavior.
 The fundamental needs of people were likened to a terrific current in a flood, and it was announced that modern methods of training take the form of retraining and diversion.
 Much time is wasted in fear. an ger and jealousy. according to Miss Mitchell, and in order to keen spir- ltually well one must project ones energy along lines worth while. She closed with a reference to the bene fits of psycho-therapy.

 Ten men and two women were ar rested when Chief of Detectives John Stege set out to trap leaders of the radical movement responsible for outbursts in meeting halls and linruly parades that have led to pO- lice battles.
 Police also prevented showing Of moving picture, Gear Ivan the Terrible" depicting oppression of the reign of Czar Ivan " in Russia, ami wrecked office furniture and destroy ed books in the Division street head quarters of the purported commun- ist party of the United States.
 Outbreak in Waterbury
 Department of justice agents said they understood the wave of radical unrest that has broken out in dcn- onstrations in New York, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadel- phia, Waterbury, Chattanooga, Mill waukee, Los Angeles, and Seattle Vas preparatory to the international outburst on March 6.
 On that day, it is understood communists and malcontents svm- pathetic with aims of that group, plan to march in all the principal cities of this country and in Rome, Paris, Berlin and other European capitals.
 Would Stir General Unrest
 To follow Up their outcry against unemployment and lead the way to general unrest is the radicals pro- gram, it was declared.
 Six men who claim titles in the so-called communist party of the United States direct the approxi- mately 5000 members of the party in the Sth district, which includes lower Wisconsin, Lake county, Ind, all of Illinois and all of Missouri, it was revealed.
 The names Of the six were made public by investigators after Thurs days raids. They are: C. A. Hath away, general organizer; Nels kjar, industrial organizer; S. Milgrom, "agiprop," or agitation propaganda director: Carl Sklar, local organiza- ton secretary; Louis 1sher, in charge of publications, and r. Bo- rich, an assistant organizer.
 Report Foster Subsidized
 These leaders, it was said, have carried on the work William Z. Foster began in the middle west. Foster returned from Russia last December and was reported to have received s1,250,000 by cable from Berlin.
 That fund paid for the recent demonstrations over the United States and paved the way for the international demonstration, invcsti- gators said.

BY A FELLOW PRISONER

The one great source of squawks in jail is the food. This is true in every jail: especially true in the District of Columbia jail.
 I don't know what the money all lowance per meal per prisoner is. Obviously. it isn't enough. I'm not criticizing the jail officials. Probab- ly with the money available. and with prison help in the kitchens, things couldn't be improved.
 But I do know that whereas Harry Sinclair left the jail in better health than when he came in, the average prisoner had mighty slim chance of doing the same thing. A man simply cant thrive on the kind of food that we got-the food that Sinclair didn't get.
 There was enough of it. It was
