The Human Side of the News =

Are there IN the mind of man
some powers which are indepen-
dent of the senses and indie
pendent of the nfe-giving organs?
If so, do not these powers survive
after death?
These are questions not entire
ly new. Hundreds of millions CT
persons hold the belief and the
faith that the grave is not the
end. They speak Of the spirit, or
the soul, which is immortal. The
newness of the questions rests in
the word mind"
Is the mind immortal? That Is
the problem offered for the con-
sideration o. science by DR.. Jo-
Seph B. Rhine Of Duke University.
DR.. Rhine has framed it as a
result of most extensive study ana
tests in the field of telepathy
which is perhaps best defined as
'Ghe communication Of impres-
sions from one mind to another,
independent Of the recognized
channels Of sense"
Heretofore, telepathy, clairvoy-
ance, self-torture by mystics and
prayer healing have claimed lit
tie attention from orthodox sci
ence, being left to those who
labor at psychical research. AS
DR.. Alexis Carrel says in his book,
Man. the Unknown" which we
spoke about when he brought it
out last year:
ELUSIVE
"The existence of telepathic
phenomena, as Wells as other
metaphysical phenomena, is
not accepted by most biologists
and physicians. The attitude
Of these scientists should not be
blamed. For these phenomena
are exceptional and elusive.
"They cannot be reproduced
at will. Besides, they are hid
den in the enormous mass Of
the superstitiOnS, lies and iIlu-
siOns accumulated for centu-
rieS by mankind.
although they have been
mentioned in every country and
at every epoch, they have not
been investigated scientifically.
1t is, nevertheless, a fact, that
they are normal, although q
rare activity Of the human
being"
But, says DR.. Carrel, "clairvoy-
ance and telepathy are a pri-
mary datum Of scientific OBJ
servation." He thinks that sci
ence should devote itself to their
study and he says that he has
been doing so himself since his
student days.
A month or so ago, DR.. Rhine
reported to the Society for Psychi-
cal Research on the results of 100,.
900 experiments in thought trans
ference. They were convincing
proof, he said, that mind was COM
municatipg with mind and that
the mathematical chance that the
results were due to coincidence
was more than 100, 900 ,000, 900 to /.
DR.. Rhine's experiments went
far beyond the room to-room tests
by which Professor Gilbert Murray
astounded and convinced Arthur
Balfour. The Duke University pro
fessor carried his out at distances
up to 1000 miles.
And whether 1t was a few feet
or the full thousand miles, the
mental impression was transmitted
instantly. Bring up an o ther
question, that of the possibility Of

that the committee will uncover

SAD INCIDENT

AS an instance of the tragedies
that followed in the wake of the
floods, Lieut.. Major H. Mills

the Volunteers of America, relates
a sad incident that occurred while
he was visiting the scene of
devastation in nearby Maryland.
The welfare worker wanted to

town. He was referred to the vice.
chairman, who explained why the
chairman was unable to see him.
It seems that the night before
the chairman and her husband

 Consideration of the future relief problems of New England will also be an outstanding feature of the councils meeting. Failure of the New Jersey legislature last winter to appropriate funds for relief pur- poses has resulted, apparently, in 8 surprising shrinkage of the relief load on cities and towns of that state, and an authoritative report on the Jersey situation will be made by Samuel Kenworthy, executive secretary of the New Jersey League of Municipalities.
 Arthur G. Rotch, former WPA ad- ministrator in Massachusetts, will comment on relief developments as presented by MT. Kenworthy, ana offer suggestions regarding relief and unemployment in New England.
 The industrial committee of the council will stage a panel discus- sion at the Saturday morning ses- sion on the accomplishments Of modern management in typical New England industries. Recent devel- opments in the field of new prod ucts, merchandising, and plant mod ernization, will be presented by a panel of eight industrialists, includ- ing the following: Charles s. Mor. Till, president, Burnharn 6s Morrill, Company, Portland, Maine; Albert N. Lyons, secretary-treasurer, Howe Scale Company, Rutland, Vermont; F. L.

NATION TO MARK
 CHILDREN'S DAY
More Opportunities for Underprivileged Are
 Being Sought

New York, (UP)-National Chil- dren's Day will be observed Satur- day, June 20, to inaugurate the an- nual nationwide drive to increase facilities for constructive play for underprivileged children.
 "Give every child an equal chance to play" is the 1936 motto.
 More than 300 cities will hold playground contests, roller skate, scooter and bicycle races, doll pa- rades, boat regattas and exhibi- tions of juvenile drawing and building construction to dramati2e the importance of play in child educatoin and the necessity of in- creasing play opportunities as the best insurance against juvenile delinquency.
 Special meetings of parent teacher organizations, mayors proclamations and speeches will focus public attention on the need of increasing playground space and collecting playthingS for set- clement houses so that every child will have a chance to improve va cation hours by beneficial physical and educational play activity.
 "Educators fully recognize that the influence of play hours is sec- ond only to the school itself as a factor in building character, stimu- lating ambition and moulding ideals of citizenship" said Dr. Grace .Langdon, president of the Child Play Association and spe- cialist in EZRA Nursery Schools, sounding the keynote of National Childrens day, which has been observed in this country for more than 30 years.
 Playground facilities for under privileged children have nearly doubled in the last decade; but there is still tremendous need for broadening facilities so that every child will enjoy the benefits of all. around play development" Mrs Langdon said. Every social serv- ice worker knows that children who are deprived of their birth right of constructive play use their energy first in mischief and later, through boredom, are apt pupils for lessons in crime. Every citizen who makes an effort to supply the opportunity for useful play to the underprivileged children in the community, is making an import ant contribution, toward better citizens tomorrow"

fspeclal to the DemoCrat.l

Boston, June Reconsideration of the acute problems involved in the allotment to New England of more than $1S00O,000 in Federal funds for flood control works with the stipulation that states themselves pay all land damage, maintenance and operating costs, will be under taken at the 43rd quarterly meet ing of the New England Council, to be held June 26-27 at the Hotel Samoset at Rockland, Maine, by a discussion panel which includes both federal and New England state au- thorities, it was announced here to- day by Dudley Harmon, executive vice president of the council.
 The development of a comprehen- sive and effective New England in- tcrState program for flood control involves the greatest test in years of the desire and capacity of the New England states to cooperate With one another, in the opinion Of the council.
 Pointing out that areas affected by the floods of March 1886 are pressing for prompt action, that rec reational interests in the northern states are concerned over possible destruction of recreational facilities tilTough land takings, and that the business community as 8 whole awaits information as to the bal- aY,ce of flood control costs with pos. sible savings, MT. Harmon added that only through 8 carefully planned and developed interstate program can an expenditure of TJ,000000 including construction costs and land damages) be justi- fled.
 Development and consideration as 7uch a plan. from all major viewpolnts, together with discussion of the engineering and legal prob leriA al.d policies, will be headed by l. f. Hartman, vice-chairman Of the Massachusetts State Planning Board and chairman of the recent ., Avrned New England Joint Com mission on Interstate Compacts for Flood Control.
 Presentation of federal plans will be made to the council at the Rock land meeting by the two officers of the Corps of Engineers, U. s. A" who will have full and direct charge of all federal flood control plans and construction in New England, MT. Harmon declared These are, Capt. Hugh J.
