BALTIMORE, July 3.-Declaring
the Andrew w. Mellon plan for a ma
tional art museum In Washington is
step in the wrong direction which
will take years to retrieve" William
M. Ellicott, chairman OF the Parks
and Planning Committee Of the Balti-
more Chapter, American Institute Of
Architects. yesterday asked President
Roosevelt to condemn the museum site
selected by the Mellon Committee on
Art Gallery.
In letter to the President, Ellicott
said the Mellon site contains only six
acres which will be lessened consid-
erably by architectural considerations,
whereas the Metropolitan Museum in
New York contains over eight acres
with provision made for extension, and
all OF the major cities in the United
States have sites ranging up to an
indefinite space for growth.
My studies as chairman Of a COM
mittee of the Baltimore chapter of
the American Institute of Architects
brought us to the conclusion that a
site should be found of upward of IS
acres and that all galleries CT art
hereafter planned should find accom-
modation within its limits he said.

BETHEL, Ohio, July 3.-Dr. w. e.

Several times weekly he is driven to

birthday anniversary next Tuesday
Only last week he excused himself
from visitors with the explanation:
I've got to go see a patient of mins
who has heart condition. He's TO

One of his proudest boasts is that
he has delivered over 1900 babies and

BLIND MAY HAVE
SECOND SIGHT"
Success at Calling Cards
Exceeds Chance, Tests
at Duke Show.
BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor.
DURHAM N. c., July 3.-The pop
ular belief that the blind possess some
unusual way OF knowing" is found
apparently justified in experiments
announced today at Duke University
Blind persons were tested for the
first time for second sight" at Duke
They exceeded the scores made here
tofore by those who can see. The
tests were calling the faces OF unseen
cards
The blind exceeded pure chance by
stupendous mathematical figure. 1t
is 10 to the fifty-fourth power to one
This means odds of 10. multiplied by
itself SO times, against one Or 10
followed by So zeros against one.
The experiments were reported in
the Journal OF Para psychology. They
were done in the laboratory of DR..
j. B. Rhine by Margaret M. Price. a
senior Duke student. and Margaret H.
Peeram, member of the laboratory
staff.
Averaged Six Right.
Nearly one-half OF those tested"
the report stated, yielded results that
were significant. That is. that show
they possessed the capacity tested.
The experimenters, however, wise
ly conclude that this is not yet suf-
f1cient evidence to justify belief
that the blind are gifted in superior
way in this capacity, which is COM
monty referred TO as a sixth sense or
second sight.
These results, however. do connect
with the oft-expressed belief that the
blind possess some unusual way OF
knowing"
Sixty-six blind or nearly blind per
sons were tested None of the near
blind could read plea type one foo,
from the eyes
They called the faces Of cards in
decks OF rs to pack. Getting five
right is pure chance" They aver
aged nearly six right. This is the
10 to the -54th -power-to-one chance
that something besides chance was AT
work In their minds.
Might Be Telepathy.
This record was made when they
called the cards as another person
looked at the deck Telepathy might
be at work in this ARRANGEMENT.
But these blind made a still bette,
score when they called cards tina,
no one had seen. For telepathy thei,
average score was $50 correct call.
per pack: for second sight it wa!
596 correct. In telepathy the pack.
were called 2,o24 times; In secone
sight, Oil times.
The journal announced a study q
whether luck. or the laws of chance
work differently with human being,
than with the statistics on which
mathematicians have based thest
laws" No difference has been founc
yet, the Journa, stated.
Children Also Better,
Another experiment was reported
showing that children possess the
second sight ability better thar
adults. The children's superiority
was given as about 20 per cent.
The Duke experimenters have beer
told that possibly subnormal intelli.
gence favors second sight They
tested this on % retarded children
No superior second sight was found
Experiments were also made in dis.

Years ago I read and heard so much
about the Whitechapel district that I
thought 1 would like to see it, and 1
did. 1t is much like our water front
on the lower East Side or the middle
West Side of Manhattan Island. OF
course, the houses do not look any,

fewer families occupy one house. The
main street is given over to small
shops. meat and vegetab BILE markets,
bakeries and the like. In the course
OF years London must have grown
pretty much the same as New York
did just as our lower East Side is
only short walk from Wall street,
so. also, is it very short distance
from Whitechapel to the London Stock
Exchange. While New York grew to
the north, London grew TO the west.
While speaking of the stock ex-
change it will amuse you to know
that the members while trading on
the floor wear high hats. Can you
picture a warm day on our New York
Stock Exchange with the boys in Palm
Beach suits and high has? 1t may
not be such bad idea, after all. We
could find work for many of the un-
employed making high hats. Further
more it would enable the Securities
and Exchange Commission to report
to Co gress that the stock exchange
went high hat.
