'Psychics'' Say
Photo Is Taken
OF Insects Soul
Dying Grasshopper Placed
in Tube; Duplicate
Body Is Seen

NEW YORK, Nov. %. (UP)-
The soul of a dying grasshopper
has been photographed to the
satisfaction of the Society for
Psychical Research.
DR.. R. A. Waters of Reno,
New, assisted by medical men
from Johns Hopkins University,
took the picture in the course OF
some experiments. -,
"It was an accident" said
Frederick Bligh Bond of the Psy-
chical Research society. "The pho
tograph showed an etheric body
(souD lowering over the body
of the dying insect.
"The insect, when about to die,
was placed in a tube filled with
gas. The whole thing was pho
tographed, and at the moment
of death some sort of smaller
body was seen to pass out of the
actual body and remain suspend
ed over it. 1t had much the form
of the insect"
The ''soul' apparently dissi-
pated itself within a few seconds
after the death of the grasshop-
per. Bond thought it was soma
sort of electrical manifestation.
The photographs have been
turned over to Hereward CARING
ton, a member of the society.
Similar tests will be conducted
on a mouse and a frog, to see

TUGWELL SEES
F. R. THURSDAY

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov.
%. (UP).-Administration farm
policies and their relationship
with world markets were explored
thoroughly yesterday by President
Roosevelt in an unscheduled con-
ference with DR.. Rexford G. Tug
well, No. 1 "braintruster" and un-
dersecretary of agriculture.
The youthful Tugwell, fresh
from the international Institute
of Agriculture in Rome, session
devoted to consideration of world
agrarian problems, was expected
to remain here through today for
a continuation of the discussion
with Mr.. Roosevelt.
The presence of Tugwell at the
littlG White House served to dis
pei rumors that he was "out of
the New Deal picture" Those re-
ports began when he left the Uni
ted States in the middle of the
political campaign to participate
in the Rome conference.
Mr.. Roosevelt invited him to
Warm Springs, presumably anx-
ious to hear his views on the
broad agricultural picture. Wheth-
er plans for new farm legislation
would result, it could not be
learned.
Tugwell was the only caller on
yesterdays list and began his dis
cussion with the president soon
after the latter breakfasted and
skinned through "a hours accu-
mutation of mail.

Chamber Is Told Russia

WAR STILL PERIL In
LATE ASSASSINATION

PARIS, Nov. 23. (UP)-A pic
ture of utter destruction of ter
ritories invaded in the next war
was portrayed to the Chamber
of Deputies by Colonel Jean Fa-
bry, chairman of the army COM
mittee in seeking an additional
war credit of $52,720,000.
Apparently considering war
certainty in the future, Fabry
said Germany had 100000 men
ready to fight and soon will have
that many more.
He said Germany's air force
would soon number five squad
rons although Germany is forbid
den any air force under the Yer
sailles treaty.
Fabry said the next war will
be an 'inhuman lightning-like at
tack with rapid movement of mo-
torized armies and irreparablc
destruction Of the invaded re-
gions."
Leon Archimbaud, war budget
said Russia's huge army
would march with France if
France is attacked. The cham
Der voted a war budget Of 374,-

GENEVA, Nov. 23.-(UP)-
Formal charges that Hungary was
guilty of completely in the ter
rorist assassination of. the late
ing Alexander of Jugoslavia and
that this completely raises the
danger of war, were before the
League of Nations last night.
he Jugoslavian delegate to the
League Assembly presented that

Croatian terrorist. The docu-

The Jugoslavian action imme-
diately was given the support Of
the other two members in the

Czechoslavakia. They presented
notes saying the situation reveal

Decentralization of industry and
apportionment of land among the

United States, NRA Administra-

yesterday.
Speaking before hundreds of
business men at a conference of

said:

FRENCH GOVERNMENT VOTES WAR FUNDS
KIWANIS CHRISTMAS FUND
OF $500 TO BE RAISED FOR
UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN
Money Will Be Used to
Relieve Crippled And
Sick Youngsters

A fund of $500 or more with
which to relieve crippled and
sick children will be raised be-
fore Christmas in a campaign to
be conducted by the Kiwanis club
and to which club members and
other citizens of the community
will be asked to contribute.
Preliminary plans for the cam
paign were laid last night at a
meeting of club officers and di-
rectors at their November meet
ing at the home of Mrs. Frank
Station as guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. H. Station. H. E. Mitchell,
chairman of the clubs under
privileged child committee, which
has given hospital treatment to a
number of children this year, and
T. D. Clark, vice-president-elect,
will captain two Kiwanis teams
for the drive, and they will be
assisted by an executive commit
tee to be appointed by President
o. Y. Brownlee.
Although perhaps two score
children have been given medical
and surgical attention this year,
including several sent to the Or
thopedic hospital at Greenville
and others cared for in tonsil
adenoid and dental clinics, the
clubs underprivileged child COM
mittee has a large waiting list
of prospective patients and the
special fund will be used to COR
rect their physical defects, it was
said. The campaign will be con-
Quoted over a period of about
two weeks, ending in time for
much of the relief work to be &C
complished before Christmas.
The board last night also au-
thorized an inter-city meeting to
be held here on Thursday eve
ming, Dec. 10. with DR.. JOS. R.
Sewer, chairman of the clubs
inter-city committee in charge of
the program and with Kiwanians
and their wives from Spartan
burg, Greenville, Tryon, Brevard,
Asheville and Rutherfordton as
guests.
A resolution of regret on the
recent death of Mrs. w. S. Mil
Ter, club member, was passed by
the board.
An elaborate Thanksgiving din
ner preceded the business session
last night.

COUNTY FAIR STOCK SALES
MEET WITH WIDE RESPONSE
Secretary 10y States Not
a Single Prospect Has
Refused Support

Secretary John L. 10y of the
Henderson County Fair assOcia-
ton, who is devoting much time
to the sale of the associations
stock in preparation for the Sc
curing of grounds and equipment
for the next years exhibition, re-
ports that solicitations so far have
resulted in one hundred per cent
response by the citizens APP
preached. Not a single person has
declined to purchase stock. Sew
eral have purchased one hundred
shares each.
Secretary 10y is especially en-
couraged by the response of the
people of Fletcher and that sec
ton of the county. Nearly score
of persons in that area have sub
scribed for stock. Mr.. 10y states
that citizens of that section desir-
ing to purchase stock are request
ed to see Mrs. J. c. Sales or j. T.
Green. They have subscription
blanks and can make sales to those
desiring to buy stock.
Secretary 10y expects to visit
all communities in Henderson
county, and has the promise of
citizens in practically every COM
munity to aid in the sale of stock;
but the job is a big one and re-
quires time, and the Secretary
will appreciate voluntary subscrip-
tons.
Nearly a third of the total
amount of stock for sale has al
ready been contracted for, and
Secretary 10y has hardly started
the selling campaign. 1t is not ex-
pected that any trouble will be
found in selling the entire amount
but as it is desired to sell to sew
eral hundred citizens in small
amounts, the actual work of see
ing the people and selling the
stock is a big job for one person.

JAPS AGAINST
NAVAL RATIOS
OF ANY TYPE
u. S. And London Embas-
sizes Make Statement;
Get New Setback

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. (UP)
The japanese embassy issued a
statement last night asserting that
the japanese nation is unitedly
behind program for reduction
of navies to as low a ratio as
2-2-2 in comparison with those of
Great Britain and America.
"The japanese nation is united
on the naval question:" the en-
bassy said. "The japanese dele
cation at London is striving to at
tain agreement which will result
in the reduction of the burden of
armament and will effectively
forestall the danger of war. 1t
stands for smaller navies for all
nations in the spirit of fairness
and craftsmanship. Japan does
not insist upon the ratio of 5-5-5
or SD. She is prepared to &C
cept a ratio of 8-3-3 or even
2-2-2."
Last nights statement put the
government fatty on record for
the first time as advocating in
stead such a drastic reduction Of
all navies as would leave them
relative strength of 2-2-2.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-(UP).-
Japan's demand for naval parity
with the United States and Great
Britain received new setback in
the house of commons last night.
Sir John Simon, while arguing
in favor of equality and secur-
ity" in sea strengths, declared he
saw no reason why all fleets
should be of equal size. His sp9ech
was interpreted as an appeal to
Tokyo to modify demand for alb
solute party which is holding up
preliminary naval conversations
and threatens to wreck prospects
for a 1885 world naval confer
ence.
Sir John declared a breakdown
of naval limitation efforts would
mean a world catastrophe. He de-
MED firmly that negotiations had
been broken off, although the
British delegation is admittedly
pessimistic.
Early today, emphasizing that
Japan opposes a naval ratio OF
any kind, the japanese embassy
informed the United Press that
various Tumors about Japan's in
tentions in the current naval con-
versations are without foundation.

He wondered if he could swing HIM :

North, although he has in other
respects a no-trump type of hand
cannot open the bidding with one no
trump because of his worthless dou-
bleton in clubs. South naturally wants
the lead to come up to her king OF
diamonds, SO refuses to make the
normal response of two clubs on the
hand. In the play of the hand West
not wishing to open from either of
his honors against a small slam in
no trumps, led small heart, which
made the slam lay down. South lost
only the king of clubs.
Both these hands illustrate how
slams may be safely and easily
reached by the proper inferential re-
sponses. One or the other of the two
partners must guide the ultimate
destiny of the hand. In the first
hand the opener jumped to a slam;
in the second, the responder. If you
give the slam invitations you must
leave it to your partner to decide
whether or not there is duplication
in the hand. He may have void
in your strong suit and refuse to ac-
cept the slam try, if together you have
not shown f1rst-round control of each
of the other three suits.

borne in compact heads or clusters
at the tips of the branches. Each
head or cluster may contain as many
as a hundred flowers
Most people have thought that the
cluster meant one blossom. You will
see how complete each flower is upon
examination. They are rose-pink and
in shape somewhat like the sweet pea,
only longer and smaller. The pods
are unusual. They are short, small
and break open croSswise instead of
lengthwise like pea and bean pods.
The wee seeds are kidney-shaped
and about one-twelfth of an inch
long. Under lens you will see the
lovely shades Of yellow, lavender and
deep violet. Good seeds are plump
and bright. Brown seeds found among
them are the dead ones.
Each leaf has a slender stalk, which
bears three oblong leaflets with
pale spot in the center of each. The
roots are many -branched and go deep
into the ground. where they find nj
trogen. A healthy plant, you will
find. is supplied with many tubercles
for gathering the valued nourishment
The red clover crop is cut Just as
soon as the full-bloom stage has
passed. At this time. there is pres
ent the greatest amount of protein
and dry matter. The stems are green,
the leaves perfect. After this stage
the leaves will begin to fall and the
value of the crop will be lessened.
In order to have the hay at its
best for stock, 1t must lose the excess
moisture quickly. As soon as the
plants are cut the leaves lose their
own small amount of water and draw
at once on the stems. If the cut
clover is left too long in the hot sun.
the leaves are killed They stop draw
ing water from the stems. become
brittle and break off easily. The value
Of the crop is greatly lessened. The
important task is to reduce the 70
to rs per cent of moisture in the
growing plant to Is or 20 per cent of
the cut plant.
All farm animals require protein in
some form in order to develop and
make their best growth. Cows need
it to produce rich milk and butter
Poultry needs it to develop the best
result in eggs. This alone will ac-
count for the popularity of the red
clover but it is valuable as a first
crop as standard hay. and the second
crop can be allowed to make seed or
be turned under to enrich the soil
You can see why rolling in clover
has depth of meaning. The Farm
ers' Bulletin No. 1889. has much VAL
unable information for those who wish
to know more about this very valu-
able plant.
