HOW T0THINK'
COURSE URGED

Public school education should
include courses on how to think,
how to worry and how to under
stand the psychological behavior
of neighbors.
Such was the recommendation
advanced last night by David
Seabury, noted psychologist, in a
talk on "The Riddle Of Human
Relations" before the Town Hall
meeting in the Shoreham Hotel.
Placing the blame for q threat
ened collapse Of society directly
on the public's Ignorance OF how
to get along with itself and
others, DR.. Seabury declared
schools should switch from an
educational system to IAN instruc-
tive one" on thinking and the
emotions. He stated:
'sMOst Of our lives are spent
In living with other persons,
but no course on how to do this
il offered in the general courses
Of our schools. We are taught
the height Of Mt. Everest, the
length Of the Nile River and the
square of mathematics. But Il
is people with whom we have
to live, not Mt. Everest"
Human relations have been
experiencing such added pressures
from the fast tempo Of modern
life, DR.. Seabury indicated, that
there have been increases Of go
per cent in nervous breakdownS,
100 per cent in suicides and 80
per cent in divorces.
About 800 persons attended the
meeting. On the platform with
DR.. Seabury were Frederick c.
Howe, chairman; former Gov.
John G. Pollard of Virginia:
Robert L. Thorndyke, assistant
professor of psychology at George
Washington University, and
Joseph M. Gray, chancellor Of
American University.

Coroner Prepares Report on
Tragedy Near Mar
ion, Va.
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
MARION, Va, October 26.-Coroner
E. A. Holmes prepared a formal re-
port today on an airplane tragedy
which took the lives Of four men and
a woman.
A four-passenger cabin ship crashed
on the Marion golf course late yester-
| day, bringing instant death to William
T. Mitchell, 80, Bluefeld, W. Va; Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Chappell, both about
IS, Welch, w. Va, and Charles Man
chester Hendry, 40. Marion. r. B.

ward in an Abingdon hospital.
Witnesses told Coroner Holmes that
the planes motor appeared to stall
when the pilot attempted to nose the
ship up quickly to clear a high hill.
The official said the plane did not
| appear to be overloaded from the
standpoint Of weight.
Smyth County officials who inves-
tigated the tragedy said that Mitchell
| and his party. after spending the day
| here with Hendry, took off for Blue
field with the intention of having
dinner there.
HE was flying low over the golf
course" DR.. w. H. McCarty told Coro-
ner E. A. Holmes and Commemorative
Attorney Ralph Lincoln, 80 low that
I tried to yell that he would not make
a high hill just ahead"
DR.. McCarty and other witnesses
said that the pilot apparently thought
he could safely fly over the hill until
he almost reached it when he gave
the plane the gun and it nosed al
most straight upward"
The investigators were told that
the ships motor then appeared to
stall and the plane hurtled nose first
into the hillside.
The plane was demolished but 1t
did not burn. Coroner Holmes said
Mitchell had cut OF the ignition.
Known rs Able Pilot.
Mitchell was known as one Of the
ablest pilots in this region. He
managed the Bristol Airport for
several years prior TO 1880, when ne
became the private pilot Of Charles
c. Lincoln Of Marion.
The ship that crashed was the one
he had piloted for Lincoln. having
purchased it from his former en-
ployer. After leaving Lincoln, Mitchell

survived by his widow and one son.
A ruling in a divorce case involving

replied:

He was irked because they kept him

The writer, having been on this
front at the time, knows personally
that while Edwards regular duties
were at headquarters, he did get ex-
cursions into the zone Of flaming death

father Notwithstanding.
When Edward came to the throne

That caused no surprise to those

him as forceful individualist, ana q

throughout history the third person
had been employed.
At the outset he began to take an
active hand in affairs Of state, and
left no doubt in the minds Of his
prime minister and other cabinet
members that they were dealing with
a real personality.
Baldwin Feels His Wrath.
is commonly reported in England
that when Premier Baldwin ventured
to make a suggestion regarding Mrs.
Simpson. the King promptly told him
in effect to look after his own affairs.
He scrapped a royal precedent in
announcing discrimination of the an
nual empire-wide broadcast by the
King at Christmas time.
There have been many other smaller
but still indicative things. Edward
has continued to travel by air-the
first King in history to fly-against
the wishes Of the government and his
family, who fear for his safety.
The famous royal railway coach was
pushed aside, and his majesty con-
tents himself with an ordinary first
class passage on trains, even as you
and I. He ducks away from his pri-
vate police guard and stalks about
town alone where he pleases-some-
thing his father never would have
dreamed Of doing.
All the clocks in the royal residence
at Sandringham had been kept half
an hour fast ever since the time that
his grandfather. Edward VII, was late
for an appointment and decided to set
the timepieces ahead to avoid a similar
occurrence. Edward VIII had the
clocks put right. and people began to
speculate as to whether he intended
to let his new position interfere with
his views of private life.
Uses American-made Car.
The royal family always had been
supplied with motor cars Of English
manufacture. Edward recently ap-
peared in a car bearing a famous
American name. Coincidently. Mrs.
Wally Simpson has one Of similar
make. and the Kings chauffeur fire.
quently drives her.
This Is the man whom some are
| trying to drive out of his friendship
with Mrs. Simpson. Whatever the de-
cision is regarding the fair American.
Edward and the lady will make it
themselves.
The attentions the King Is paying
! the Southern beauty, and the costly
gifts he Is said to be showering on her,
do not represent his first romance.
He has had plenty before, and some
seemed fairly serious.
This is not strange, especially in
view of the fact that for years the
fairest girls of all nations have been
throwing themselves at the head OF
prince charming" The mash notes
which daily poured into st. James
Palace for the Prince of Wales would
have made a Hollywood screen idol
green with envy.
The British public for years has
been begging Edward to take bride.
Prime Minister Baldwin and others
are said to have tried to persuade him
to this step, but always he refused.
There never has been any objection
to his marrying commemorative
people would applaud him for such a
democratic move. They hope he won't
marry divorce, though.

He held q rump convention, with del
egates from other counties joining In.
The Short forces not only NOM
mated him for Governor in their
rump convention, but they arranged
to put q full ticket in the field, includ-
ing presidential electors. The situa-
ton would not be so serious were it
not for the fact that many Della
wareans believe that Short was given
o raw deal.
The upshot Of the whole matter is
that Landon is likely to lose the State
and the Democrats may well elect
their candidates for Senator, Cover
nor and Representative. The regular
Republicans are fighting hard to con-
vince the voters that the contest in
Delaware Is between the New Deal
President and the anti-New Deal Re-
publican, Landon, and that the only
way the anti-New Dealers can be
successful is to cast all their votes
for the regular Republican presi-
Dental electors. The Republicans
themselves are to blame for the sit
uation that has developed in Della
ware. They might have ironed out
their troubles without letting them go
to the State convention floor. The Or
ganization, however, misjudged the
extent Of Shorts opposition and ap-
parently did not believe he would
carry the fight so far.
There had been talk by the Repub-
licans Of nominating Gov. Buck for
Senator. After the row, however, that
was laid aside. A call went forth
for Senator Hastings, then in Eu-
rope, and the convention drafted"
him in a hope Of avoiding further
trouble. Hastings had earlier declared
he did not wish to succeed himself
He yielded finally to the call and Is
the Republican nominee. His chances
for reelection, however, do not appear
to be bright. The independent Re-
publicans-the Short faction-have
put forward as a senatorial candidate
former Representative Robert Hous-
ton and the Democratic senatorial
candidate is James Hughes.
Three Seek House Seat.
In the contest for Delaware's sole
member Of the House are Representa-
tive J. George Stewart, Republican;
S. Austin Ellison. running on the
Short independent ticket, and Will
liam F. Allen, Democrat.
Observers here say that because of
the Cborf dafoctior Kav,t opd C,,esov
Counties probably will give the Demo-
cratic presidential electors a 5000
lead. 1t may be more. Such a lead
will have to be overcome in New
Castle County, where the Short vote
will be smaller. The Republicans may
succeed in doing this. But it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful. The State may go
either way. Roosevelt or Landon, by
two or three thousand, or it may give
the winner as much as 5000 lead.
Short has hurt himself and his
ticket by making a deal with the
Democrats in Sussex County on the
lesser Offices, 1t Is said. But be that
as it may, Short still seems to have a
considerable following.
Delaware is a Republican State. 1t
stuck to Hoover in 1882, and it has
gone Republican for years and years,
except in the Republican-Bull Moose
split of 1912, when the Delaware elec-
toral votes went to Woodrow Wilson
The margin of Republican lead, how
ever, Is never very great and normally
Is around 10000.
There will be Democrats in Della
ware voting against Roosevelt, as else
where. This detection will operate to

ing to let the gubernatorial nominal
ton go to Sussex County, neverthe-
less was unwilling to let Short be
the nominee. In the State conven-
tion Col. Harry L. Cannon, another
resident of Sussex. was put forward
by the organization forces. Short
went into a towering rage. declared
he had been double-crossed, and on
the floor of the convention declared
that Gov. Buck had promised him
the nomination four years earlier.
Buck denied this, also, on the floor Of
the convention. The fat was in the
fire. Short withdrew from the con-
vention and took with him 20 out Of
the AZ delegates from Sussex County.
