l8TH AMENDMENT UPHELD AGAIN
 IN LIQUOR CASE
Almost a Similar Case to One Decided By Judge Clark and With the Same Defense Lawyers

New York, Jan. 5.-UP).- Valadity of the 1otn amendment was sustained by the United States Circuit court of appeals to-day in a case that is virtually identical with the one under which Federal Judge William Clark of Newark declared prohibition invalid. The conviction of Louis Thibeault, who was sentenced to the Ohio federal reformatory for selling two pints of whisky was af- firmed in decision read by Judge Manton. Judges Hand and Chase concurred.
 Selden Bacon and Daniel r.. Cohalan, counsel in the case that was presented to Judge Clark and subse- quently appealed to the supreme court by the government. also were attorneys for Thibeault. In both ac- tions their contention was that the 18th amendment was valid.

Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties and Alexandria Want
Chest Donations Diverted.
By a Stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan correspondent OF The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, November ia con-
certed effort to have money donated
to unemployment relief by Federal Gov
eminent employees living in nearby Vir-
ginia revert to the sections in which
the donors reside is to be made by the
Chambers of Commerce of Arlington and
Fairfax Counties and the city of Alex
andria.
Louis c. Carl, president of the Airing
ton County Chamber of Commerce,
stated today that arrangements are
being made for a meeting, at which
officials of the three Chambers Of Com
merce will discuss methods by which
the matter can be brought to the at
tention of officials who are in charge
OF the relief fund drive.
Present plans of the Federal relief
body, Carl said, are that each Govern
ment employe donate one days pay each
month for three months, the money to
be used for relief in the District of
Columbia.
Many Of the Federal employees living
IN Arlington County would find it diff
cult to contribute both to the District
OF Columbia fund and to relief in their
own communities in Virginia, hence the
local relief funds would be deprived of
the assistance of the Government en-
ployeS unless arrangements are made to
divert the money here
Arrangements for the meeting are in
charge of Dan S. Hollenga business
manager of the Alexandria Chamber of
Commerce, Carl said.

Eidetic Senses Are Studied
Schoolboy Subjects of Experiments May Imagine
Tasting Sweet, Sour Salty Bitter Things and
Hearing Music Il fter Sounds Have Ceased.

Rauth finds. when a boy of the former
type demonstrates the eidetic phenome-
non he sees lots of color in his pictures
Moreover, he can recall picture. ply
sically outside his head and not imagi-
natively inside. hours and even days
after he has seen the actual thing.
The dull, small-eyed boys are able
to see form without much color imme-
diately after a scene. 1t vanishes in a
moment or so, and despite the utmost
effort they never can recall 1t again
With them the eidetic image ap-
proaches rather closely to the memory
image that is experienced by everybody
who tries to recall face, landscape or
picture. There is vague, colorleSs pic
ture inside the head" But the eidetic
child gets it outside" for moment
a physical reality, though by no means
as much so as in the case of his big
eyed brother or sister.
After Image Seen.
Some other curious experiments are
being conducted with the boys, such as
the "after-image" trick Of the psycholo-
gists. Almost without exception when
a child is shown bit of green paper
against a grayish screen and then the
paper is withdrawn, he will see some
thing on the screen-a little patch of
red. Red is the Complementary color to
green, and various shades of red are
complementary to various shades of
green. This is a purely physiological
and practically universal phenomenon.
But 1t requires physical reality to set
it off-the object which gives the color
stimulus.
Now DR.. Rauth will merely ask one
OF the eidetic boys to close his eyes and
'.think" green-get the color inside his
head. Most persons can do this with
an effort Of the imagination, although
it Is not so easy as 1t may seem. After
the boy indicates that he has success
fully Thought" green, he is told to
open his eyes. While hts eyes were
closed the neutral-colored screen has
been placed in front of him.
Mental Green" Produces Red"
do you see anything?" the examiner
asks.
The eidetic boy with the big, shining
eyes replies:
''I see red on the screen"
That word red" is the almost infal-
llble criterion that he isn't falsifying,
The child doesn't know anything about
the highly complicated theory of the
after image.
What happens is that something in
slde the brain gives the same physical
erect, even to the exact shade Of the
complementary color to be expected, of
something outside the brain. Imagined
green produces the physical reality
OF red" Far and strange fields Of
philosophical speculation are opened by
this simple experiment..
Boy Sees Withdrawn Object.
Then there is the form board test,
USED by psychologists for children who
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-16

cannot read, or feeble minded children.
It is like a simple block puzzle. Blocks
| shaped like squares, triangleS and OBJ
longs are to be fitted into spaces cut
out on board. 1t is easy enough for
any normal person who can see the
board
But to the eidetic boy the strange
object Is shown for only few seconds
against the same neutral colored screen.
Then the board Is withdrawn and COW
cred with a cloth. He is given the
pieces to be fitted into the forms and
he fits them under the cloth with
hardly an instant's hesitation. He does
about as we'll as an ordinary person
with the form board before his eyes.
It is actually before his eyeS--on the
screen. He is not filling the formboard
so quickly and accurately as the result
Of the fleeting memories of shapes and
positions he has gathered during the
few seconds of exposure. He is filling
it in accordance with the physically
real picture on the screen before him
but to everybody else that screen Is just
blank space.
DR.. Rauth now is working out COM
plicated procedures for objective test
ing of the eidetic Image" in other
senses. The unexpected discovery of
the extreme prevalence of the phe-
nOmenon among the st. Marys boys
running something better than so per
cent among those already examined
has set the Catholic University pSy-
biologists to working out a new system
Of education based on actual objects
rather than abstract ideas. The boys
represent a fair cross section of
American boyhood in general so it is
likely that much the same prevalence
will be found in other schools. Hith-
erto the phenomenon hardly has been
known even to specialists in the United
Stataes, but has been studied in Ger
many. 1t has been considered very
rare.
1t almost always vaniShes about the
18th year. The German investigators
believe, however, that some of the very
great figures in history-a notable ex-
ample is the poet Goethe-retained it
through life. The ability to take
images out OF his mind and see them
as realities was notable factor in his
genius.
But with the great run Of persons,
DR.. Rauth believes, the faculty is ruth
lessly and perhaps ignorantly killed by
the age of puberty by the intensive
school drilling in abstractions-words.
He Is arranging with the school to
nurse rather than destroy the eidetic
faculty in the hope that it can be pre-
served in some of the boys until their
school days are over. This means a
new kind of teaching for an expert
mental group while control group of
eidetic children continue to study their
lessons in the same old way. The prog
ress OF the two groups will be watched
closely.
DR.. Rauth emphasizes that the work
to date has been purely exploratory and
that long program of intensive Scien-
tine work lies ahead before any posi-
tive conclusions can be reported. The
extreme frequency of the phenomenon
has tended to overwhelm the investiga-
tors, VINO thought at first that with ex-
IRENE good luck they might find among
the boys four or five cases of the kind
reported in Germany.
