am sure that when the laws respecting
mediums are altered the public viii realize how
much help they can have from those on the
"other side" For instance, every criminal de-
partrnent will have its medium to help Ia the
detection Of crime. Some police centerS abroad
have them now.
Through a medium friend Of ours was en-
abled to find q murdered woman,s body. It
happened in this way. A young woman was
missing and everything pointed to her having
been murdered, but the police, In spite Of
long search, could not find the body. Our friend
had sitting and relative Of the missing girl
on the "other side" communicated with him
and said that the girls body would be found
In certain place down the river. The next
day q search was made and there was the body,
in the very spot described by the spirit person.
Now, Mr.. Critic, where does your grand
DOGGY, "telepathy," come in? Telepathy be-
tween whom? Reason must tell you that the
information could have come only from an
unseen spirit entity who knew more than the
human agent. If telepathy is so easy, how is
it that all around us people are not daily get
ting valuable business information from others
brains? How Is it that students don't know
what professor is going to say, although their
brains are tuned in to the same vibration?
Telepathy does of course, exist-bIt is a very
rare gift. Telepathy does not come into the
matter when q human is in communication with
q spirit person and the latter<gives information
and talks of things unknown TO the human
entity. and which afterward prove to be true
will give another case in point. Two young

should be issued to each medium from an
accredited central SpiritualiStic society, TO be
renewed each year. BY that means any medium
discovered In fraud would at once lose her GER
tifcate and the fact would be widely published.
Very often in a seance, after we get in touch
with those beyond the veil, they will warn us
Of dangers ahead and tell us how to avoid
them. They also may give us good advice as to
material things which may help us in daily life.
That is not fortune telling, although some
twisted-minded and ignorant people have some
times called it so. God allows the infinite
comfort and help Of having our dear ones
loving care round us to benefit u.s.
WHEN palmists tell their clients of troubles
or accidents which they see ahead it Is
most wrong have known several friends who
have been made unhappy by being told OF
various unfortunate things which sup
posed to be coming to them or that they would
have some great loss in such and such year.
That should be stopped.
Many clergymen are studying this subject and
have received enormous help from It. Many
of them wrote to bless my husband for the
knowledge which he had giveE them, saying
sometimes that he had restored their own faith
and had given them fresh heart and Strength
to carry on in their work.
Those on the "other side" leave no stone I'M
turned to try to communicate with those or
the earth plane, and as we earth people have
discovered SO many new ways of getting into
touch with one another--by telephone, airmaii
wireless and SO on--3o those behind the veil are
working at their end and helping us ut CTR end
to establish more means OF communication.

ington speak to you in your home in New York
you have no telephone? They are at their
phone but you have not troubled to install one
that is. not troubled to learn the rudimentS Of
how to communicate.
Spiritualists are very much like the early
Christians-as they were treated, 50 are we.
They were subjected to persecution and so We
have been and still are, although we are tax
paying citizens. We are the only people under
the British flag who have not religious freedom.
All others under the British rule-black, brown
or yellow in color-have full freedom in their
religious observances. But we? Oh mol Our
mediums are fined or put in Jail, and yet they
are essential to us in communicating with the
other world as an electric current IS to :. wireless
set.
Not long ago a noble and unSelfSh medium,
y years old, who had brought comfort to many
bereaved hearts and who had proved immor-
tally to numbers of people, was visited by two
women draped in mourning. who later accused
her of fortune telling She was imprisoned
for four months at hard labor
Such proceedings must be put right. We are
not handful of people. There are hundreds
of thousands of Sprituaiists in the British Isles
alone and the movement is spreading like
prairie fire. We are to be reckoned with and
we demand justice and freedom our rights.
There more than TOO Spiritualstic
churches in England and they are SO packed
that the members sometimes have TO be asked
to stay away in the evening to leave room for
all the inquirers. Does not that tell its own
tale?

~ AM constantly asked how long have
been interested In spiritualism and what
made me beccme so.
When my husband passed over he
had studied and investigated and had
been convinced CT the truth of the subject for
more than 40 years. When he first talked TO
me about it I thoughe it was uncanny and
told him that would take one world at time.
It the and only subject which We
did not have in common.
The bitterest regret of my life is that by this
fooliShness lost years of great happiness. My
husband was the last man In the world TO try
to convert or convince anybody against his will.
The knowledge that he had, he was anxious for
everybody else to have, but once he had given
it. it was their affair to take it or leave 1t. He
never pressed it.
1t was not until some time later, when q
brother of mine had been killed at Mons, that
my husband suggested that he and I and
very close friend of mine who had also lost two
brothers in the war, should have little sitting
together at home-just the three of us.
We discovered that both my friend and
had mediumistic powers and our brothers were
able therefore, to use them and to communicate
with us. The evidence of their personality was
overpowering They gave us military informa-
ton which neither of us nor my husband could
possibly have known and which could have
been known only to the heads Of the war Of
fee. The proof of their own personal identity
was beyond all doubt-giving evidence which we
had to verify frcm other people and which
proved to be correct.
THAT was the first stepping stone Of my
- knowledge From then onward for 16 years
have had many experiences and have sat with
mediums all over the world, and I have heard
and read of the experiences Of many others,
al corToboratng my own.
People say to me. why must go to q
medium" I reply, why go to q telegraph Of
ice to send telegram to friend? why don't
you breathe the words out into the air? why

and so obey material laws. In Psychic matters
you obey psychic laws. The medium is the

HEALTH WORKS
SCOPE BROADER,
TEACHERS TOLD
Physical EduCation'S Value
More Apparent, Says
Expert.

Physical education has been taken
from the plane Of merely a health
contribution to become one of the
necessary requirements in the de-
velopment of children and adults,
DR.. Jesse F. Williams, physical edu-
cation and health professor at CO.
lumbia university, declared today.
He spoke at the meeting of the
]. H. S. A. A. at Manual Training
high school, held in conjunction
with the Indiana State Teachers
Association convention.
He said physical education of a
generation ago was "a reflection of
the philosophy that it was proper
to work hard, to live a thin, mean,
pauperized life, with the idea that
in the future one might live rich
and full life"
Scope Is Broader
Physical education today has
functions which include. develop
ment Of the organic system, voca-
tional skill, attitudes toward play,
and standards of behavior" he
stated.
we must begin to think of school
days as days of opportunities for
the education of youth in prefer
ences and for education in skills
that bring joys, as we'll as in skills
that bring financial ability, since
man does not live by bread alone"
Just as replacing of the little red
schoolhouse with the modern school
has changed the education OF the
mind, so has it changed greatly the
education of the physical side of
life" DR.. James E. Rogers of New
York told the intermediate grade
teachers section at Cadle taber-
nacle.
SpOrtsmanShip Is Goal
THE new physical education is
not concerned so much with the
winning of basketball and football
games as it is with the promotion of
sport, not sports sake, but for the
sake of craftsmanship"
Dr. Rogers, director of the Ma
tional Physical Education Service,
believes this rapid, mechanical,
standardized world has developed
three new national diseases: growth
of physical defects, mental break
downs and nervous ailments.
He lamented the fact that rs
per cent of the 26,O00,OO0 school
children have physical defects that
do two things: mar their future
physical well-being, if neglected,
and retard their educational prog
ress."
Mrs. Hugh Bradford of Sacra-
mento, Cal, national president of
the Congress of Parents and Teach
ers, told the group that parents
must be made aware of the prob
lens of the schools in order that
they may answer critics who say
education is too COSTLY"

BY REGINALD SwEETLAND.

BY Cable to The Star.
SHANGHAI, China, May 8.-Amid
scenes of sober enthusiasm President
Chang Kai-Shek today presented the
provisional constitution to the assem-
bled delegates for elaboration at the
peoples convention at Marking. Little
opposition Is expected from the dele
gates. a majority of whom are PreSi-
dent Chiang's men.
The constitution provides for the
perpetuation of the present 4lve-
branch system of government, headed
by a president, though 1t Is not
specified how the president should
be elected or what his term OF ONCE
should be, supported by an appropriate
number of state councillors" whose cleo
ton or appointment is likewise vague.
The only hint of national suffrage comes
from the article dealing with provincial
governments, providing that when COM
plete district autonomy Is attained the
citizens thereof shall exercise the powers
of election, recall, initiative and referen-
dunn, and may also elect one repre-
sentative for the peoples congress"
The bill OF rights grants freedom OF
spsech. conscience and press, except
in times of national emergency, which,
in truth, is mare common than unusual.
Concerning education, the document
provides that DR.. Sun Yat-Sen's three
principles shall be the fundamental
principles Of the country's education.
All children of school age shall receive

is expected to grow into permanent

"zipped" way Around World.

The upper fastening. composed Of
intermeshing teeth, which Is now made
use of In many ways, was the inven-
ton in 1914 of Gideon Sundback, q
Swedish engineer working in the United
States. 1t was first suggested as Q
safety device for pockets and then ap-
piled to tobacco pouches and finally
to children's clothing, shoes, spare
wheel covers, handbags, sun-tents and
many other purposes. and the end Is
not vet in sight. It's use has spread
over the entire world. It Is manufac-
tured by the mile in the United States,
Canada, Austria, France and Germany.
Several previous efforts were made to
devise such q fastener. One was the
subject of a patent granted 40 years
ago. A wealthy company was formed
to perfect and exploit the invention, but
the design was lacking in some par
ticular and its operation was unreliable.
and so far as that effort went the thing
was a failure. The shortcoming was
subsequently remedied by Sundback, and
he is now reaping a rich reward.
