LONDON, July 2.-The House Of
Commons was the scene Of unparal-
leled disorder today, when left wing
Laborites resisted the suspension of
one of their number.
They fought, clawed, kicked and
tackled attendants, who sought to re-
move j. McGovern of Glasgow from
his seat after he had voiced noisy
defiance of the speaker in consequence
of the speakers reply to one Ct his
questions.
The staid House was IN riotous tumult
for 20 minutes before quiet was re-
stored and it was possible again to
proceed with business.
Ignores Speakers Order.
At the beginning of the uproar the
Speaker called upon McGovern to with
draw, but the Glasgow member, who
had on his left Mr.. Beckett, who once
seized the Speakers mace, contrary to
all tradition, and on his right the burly
figure of Campbell Stevens, took no no.

The Speaker directed the sergea mt

Beckett to the floor. Beckett was pulled
and dragged through the Commons
door.
There were shouts from the Labor
benches of be man" as McGovern
finally was laid hold OF and dragged
along his bench.
Mild cheers were raised as an at
tendant struck back at Beckett.
After 20 minutes the Speaker called
the House to order again and an

scene McGovern had provoked. he was
suspended for the remainder of the
session.
Business then proceeded as usual
The trouble began when McGovern
asked why Scottish preachers had been
imprisoned for preaching on the Glas-

shouted an Objectionable reply. Then

BY THOMAS r. HENRY

A theory of mind" which would ac-
count for the alleged phenomena OF
telepathy and spiritualism on . purely
materialiStic basis, Is proposed IN the
current medical bulletin Of the United
states veterans administration.
II such weird happenings as thought
tvansference from brain to brain over
rreat distances actually can be demon
strated, according to the theory ad-
vanced by DR.. Clifford G. c. Brace,
psychiatrist at the United states Vet
erans' Hospital at North Chicago. Ill,
they may be explained by carrying TO
extreme lengths some OF the concepts
of behavioristic psychology, which de-
MES the existence OF human conscious,
ness altcaether end regards the mind
only as q complicated anatomical ma
chine.
Rased on Nervous System.
The theory Is based on the functions
of the two major divisions of the hui
man nervous systematic brain-spinal
cord and the autonomic systems. The
nerve cells of the latter are located in
q string OF ganglions outside the spinal
cord RetWeen the two systems there
are only very tenuous connections. The
first is the center of all supposedly con-
scious behavior. The second, presum-
ably much the older in the evolution
ary progress of animal life, controls
some of the internal mocha nisms Of
the body which are necessary to life
but which proceed without the individ-
ual being aware of them. 1t is be-
lieved by many to be- in large part at
least the earrisr of the emotions.
Now, says DR.. Brace. the study of
electricity has led to the discovery of

Accounts for Telepathy.
Some such notion as this would ac-
count for telepathic exchange of
thought, proof of which has thus far
escaped scientific investigators and has
been deferred to await the solution of
the question Of the existence of q spe-
cial organ for distance reception. Hav-
ing reached this point. there should be
no hesitation in crossing the border of
metaphysics to make the further sug-
gestion that the phenomena of spiritual
ism may be due to the projection of
centrally made engrams by means of
neural radiationS. We must not forget
the possibility that the world outside
each one of us may be of our own Gre
ating and that we cannot be certain the
other persons receptors translate slim
uli into the same meanings as our own.

deny similar reaction between minds,

could assimilate the behavioristic ana

concepts Of consciousness. it would be
much easier for us to view such pos
sibilities impartially."

generally speaking, an anatomical
counterpart of a radio transmitting sta
ton, capable of broadcasting when
sufficient current Is applied in the form
Of emotions.
Carrying still further the concept Of
the structural basis of mind, DR.. Brace
advances behavioristic concept of how
the mind may wipe out, so far as the
individual is concerned, the outside
world OF reality, leading to the various
forms Of insanity. This is by means of
the circular reflex" described as 1.-The
evolution on a large scale Of the inter-
nal mechanism of the atom where
quanta of energy are emitted from the
electrons as the speed and shape of
their circular course is modified by
stimuli from other electronic systems"
Consultations Named.
ut Is this mechanism" he says,
which gains prominence in pSychopa-
thology. The loosely linked circular re-
hexes easily break away to form au-
tochthonous ideas holding the focus of
attention and creating their own hallu-
cinatory satellites. Such considerations,
when supported by effective stimuli, can
bring ali the activities of the nervous
system under their control, The myriad
combinations resulting from the associ-
alton of these consultations of phantaSy
with each and every organ Of special
sense have been classified and named
by psychiatry.
1.-THE disintegration Of the mind Is
one of function and Is to be compared
to the experimentation of battery Of
alternating current generators where
structure to the smallest wire is I'M
changed, but the forces to which they
give existence are being unleashed and
will turn on their creators, reducing
them to a twisted mass of copper and
scorched rubber. SO 1t Is with the
brain.
Man, in order to better enable him
to devise ways of making his surround
ings adjust to him instead of adapting
himself to them, has provided me-
chanism by which an image can ac-
ouire personality of its own; an image
that now has the power of disintegrat-
ing the structure from which 1t was
formed and, in the process OF doing so,
annihilates itself"

TEACHER EMPLOYE
OF SCHOOL BOARD
Decision on Nelson County
School, Teacher Case Handed
Down by High Court

A school teacher employed by a
common school district Is an employe,
and the relationship between her and
the school board is that of contract
only. the North Dakota supreme court
ruled in two cases involving employ
ment of teachers by the school board
Of Dodd's school district in Nelson
county.
Mary Mootz and William Beckman
brought action against the school
board after their services were order
ed terminated and they were replaced
by other teachers.
Miss Mootz brought mandamuS
proceedings to require the school
board to install her as a teacher ac-
cording to an alleged contract for
services. Judge Swenson denied the
writ. and the supreme court in sus-
tanning mis- action ruled that man.
damus does not lie to determine mere
contract rights. as the teacher has an
adequate remedy at law.
In the Beckman case, a restraining
order was sought to prevent the
school board from paying the teach
ers who replaced Miss Mootz and
Beckman. and to compel the employ
ment of the two teachers who were
dismissed. Judge Swenson denied the
writ, and the higher court affirmed
this action.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

Having declared that he considers
the talking picture an inferior me-
dunn of screen entertainment to the
silent motion picture production,
Charlie Chaplin backs his opinion
with the presentation Of "City Lights"
a romantic comedy photoplay to be
shown at the Capitol theatre, which
Is synchronized with music and sound
effects.
At no time is the human voice
heard in "City Lights" It is the
comedian -producer's contention that
dialogue limits the field Of expression
and being primarily a pantomime
artist. he regards silence as the best
medium for him and the character
he portrays. Chaplin adds that he
is not being prejudiced in the stand
he has taken but that he is merely
carrying on in what he believes q
superior art form.
"City Lights" is heralded as Chap
Inns supreme effort. OF considerable
significance are the facts that reveal
that Chaplin expended 81, 500,0 900 OF
his own money and close to three
years Of his time in the making Of
this phOtOplay.
From sources close to Chaplin it is
learned that the comedians enthusi-
asm over "City Lights" Is greater than
he has ever before evidenced. It Is
believed that this production will pave
the way for more non-dialogue pic
lures and start renewed activity In
studios as well as in theatres. Chap
Inns film is the first Of any impor-
lance to come out of Hollywood in
close to three years. in silent form.
Although there is not . spoken
word from the beginning to the end Of
"City Lights" the production Is COM
pletely ~synchronized with music and
sound effects. In this respect, Chap
lin adds another accomplishment to
his versatility introducing for the
greater part entirely original music
Of his own creation, the arrangement
az which Is credited to Arthur John
Dton.
Many are Of the opinion that
CNaplin will write history with his
"City Lights" It Is be-
iieyed that the genius OF pantomime
