HARVARD WILL
STUDY DREAMS

by HENRY MINOTr
United Press STAFF CorrespOndcnl

Cambridge, Mass. March IS
UP)--The Lindbergh baby kid
mapping case may throw light on
the mysteries OF mental telepathy
through an elaborate dream study
undertaken by the Harvard psy-
Geological clinic.
From ~ states and Canada,
within the past four days, have
come reports on 500 dreams In
splred by the sensational abduc-
ton, and DR. Henry A. Murray,
head Of the clinic, told the United
Press to-day he believed analysis
of these contributions may reveal
valuable new data concerning UNI
conscious mental processes.
Though many OF the dream re-
ports stated more or less definite
ly the supposed "whereabouts' OF
the stolen baby, DIR Murray en-
phasized that the clinic did not
hope to locate him through Its re-
searches,
Here's sample OF the dream

from a Pittsburgh, Pa, woman:

same subject. BY this means. he
said, dreaming could be studied as
phenomenon of social psychol-
ogy. :,
"Dreams are psychic events"
he said, but since they are not
consciously willed or consciously
constructed, they are usually
classified in modern psychology
among the manifestations of UNI
conscious mental processes. Ac-
cordingly the reports which the
clinic Is collecting may be taken
as the unconscious responses of a
large number OF people to one
given ituation-namely, the news
paper accounts of the kidnapping.
aside from the bearing which
this research has upon purely
psychological matters, the data
which Is being collected may in
cidentally shed light upon the
uch-disputed problem of mental
telepathy-that Is. whether there
are specially sensitive persons who

The novel spectacle of train
frozen to the rails regaled Sank
Centre citizens last Saturday
morning. The unfortunate was the
passenger train on the Northern
Pacific running from Morris to
Little Falls through Sank Centre.
It remained here four hours be

here on time at 800 a. m. It stop
ped as usual to take water, pas
sengers, mail and express. When
the water tank in the tender had
been filled, the fireman, who at
tends to this operation, found that
the valve in the tank would not
close. Consequently the big stream
from the tank continued to spout
forth until the tank was emptied.
The water ran over the rails, and
as the thermometer then register
ed % below zero, it froze as soon
as 1t struck terra firna and the
rails, and 1t was very near "23"
for the train. The wheels of the
engine, tender and express and
mail car were soon embedded in
ice and frozen fast to the rails.
The most strenuous efforts were
used to loose the train from its
unfortunate predicament, but 10

freight arrived and with added
power of that engine attached to
the rear of the passenger is was
soon released. Shortly after one
o'clock the passenger pulled out

SHARING

There are families in which the
child is urged to share his favorite
playthings with the visitor be-
cause he mustn't be selfish. The
toys may be precious, the small
visitor destructive; the child re-
bells at what he rightly feels to be
an injustice.
The playthings are the child's
property. If he is to be taught to
respect the property of others, he
has the right also, to feel that his
property is respected by others.
Before the company arrives go
over the playroom with Junior,
asking, Now what toys shall we
put away and which one would 1t
be nice to leave for Bobby to play
with.
