football and baseball.
At autumn time the periods actually overlap,

track of pigskin and Tor horsehide.

Although the two Yankee pastimes occupy pub

difference between them Football is amateur.
baseball is professional
Some will dispute the noncommercial status of
football the grounds that universities recruit
the best athletes that money can buy. Baseball,
however, is admittedly mercenary, and with big
leaguers every clout has silver lining.
Perhaps it would be interesting if new
plays were introduced into the old hit-and-run
sport. AS starter they might allow the batter to
knock over the fence, then keep making the
rounds-each complete lap counting pont-t

Or maybe the batter might run down to third if
the congestion is lighter in that direction. This
would eliminate left-hand turns and also give the
runner choice of routes.

Seeks Solution Of World Problems
Through Automatic Spirit Writing
Girl Receives Historically Names Depateden
Messages Total More Than 100000 Words

\A/ILL the ethereal spirits of great men long
w since dead to the earth provide the wisdom
necessary to solve todays world problems?
To Allyn Miriam, attractive young San Francis
can, that question is answered already
Almost daily she talks with inhabitants of that
other world that has puzzled science and prompted
such notable figures as the late Sir Conan Doyle to
spend years in research
A retiring, extremely sensitive young woman
Miss Miriam receives her messages in written
form. That is, her hand writes under the control
of her spiritual friends-a phenomena know
automatic writing
More than 200, 900 Words-something more than
twice the number of words in the average, full
length novel-have been received in this fashion
and later transcribed into typewriter, annotated
pages.
Turing the course of some two years of COM
- munication Miss Miriam has established con-
tact with what has grown to be circle of friends.
In the circle is noted Engishman, who estab-
lished an African empire and later scholarship at
Englands famed Oxford university. There also,
renowned painter; famous American editor and
writer; French dramatist, and two medieval fig
ures, one Swiss one Portuguese.
AS Miss Miriam explains it, she SITS relaxed in
circle of close friends, equipped with pencil and
paper. Presently she begins to write, sometimes
interrupting the psychic discourse with questions,
either by herself or the others in the company.

itself the knights of the Round Table, because of

the weekly Round TABLE meetings. eStaDl1Sneo by
Miss Nitram-did not gather all at once. Individ-
uals introduced themselves first, and later grouped
for general discussion. It was during this form
alive stage that Miss Miriam first questioned the
man who created wealth out of African wilds con-
corning his convictions on world peace
Here is his reply:
yes do feel that such an eventuality is
than possible went about it wrong. Somewhere
in the back of my rather large head felt that If
all the wealth centers could be brought under Eng
lands domination, world peace in fair way
to follow
nth that as background, the first Round
w Table discussion, presided over by this same
figure, went further on the matter. From another
Englishman, knight whose name is familiar to
everyone man whose naval prowess wrecked
the might of Spain, came reply:
"I have watched for many years and see inn
mediate solution to the problem
But the founder of scholarships not so easily
dissuaded 1.-THE answer Ito world peace) is edu-
cationn he retorted firmly.
Celebrating on his theme, he suggested anti
war training to start in the first grade of schools,
and his theme was taken up by another, who be-
lieved that through the medium of psychic teach
ing the world might come to abandon militarism.
NNE of Miss Nitram's most interesting exper-
~ fences occurred quite accidentally while she
was visiting the Alameda airport The message
was written on large roll of wrapping paper that
lay on drafting table. When completed, the mes
sage covered paper two and half feet wide by 20
feet long.
During preliminary conversation, aviator
tered the room and was Immediately recognized by
one of the communicates, who wrote, 1--WE flown
with him."
This psychic parsonage whom Miss Miriam
knew before his departure from this sphere, had
been amateur aviator and was much interested
in the autogyro the pilot flew. He was anxious to
try his hand at the controls. Can you handle the
gyro like usual type plane?" he asked, and being
treasured that it controlled much the same, wrote
that he would try it some time
Flying interests another of Miss Nitram's spirit
friends. He is of three who use the same name,
Emanuel The first Emanuel once ruled Portugal,
according to his writing the second French
dramatist, wrote the play "L'Absent', in which
Sarah Bernhard made her debut at the Coincide
Franchise, and the third described himself as "A
painter of Sorts
THIS latter, Swiss of the Sixteenth century,
! wrote, 81 most interested in flying. always
knew it could be done. broke my ankle once; l
fell from a tree But that is secret. l was so
ashamed that my WINGS mprovised from barnyard
feathers on screen form, would not support me!'
While Miss Miriam thus far has received great
deal of advice and historic as well phiosophic
discussion she makes it clear that the entire aim
of the messages has not yet been outlined
Perhaps soon we shall know definitely way
the other world wishes us to go about straighten-
ing the tangled affairs of this world" she says.
