Heavy Guard.
BY the Associated Press,


LONDON, May 1.-THE crown Jew
els were sped to Westminster Abbey to-
day behind the drawn shades OF q
motor car and under a heavy guard
of police.
The imperial crown, the Queens
crown and the other regalia were
taken to the Abbey from the crown
jewelers.. where they had been over
hauled.
1t was highly secret affair, In
contrast to the usual elaborate trans
port in the state coach, with an es-
cort of mounted lfeguards.
Once in the Abbey the jewels were
taken from their cases and laid out
in the dimly lighted Jerusalem cham
Der, where detachment Of yeomen of
the guard with tall halberds and wear
ing tudor uniforms, Immediately took
up sentry posts.
The guard will continue until to-
morrow morning in keeping with a
tradition which dates back to the DAYS
When the crown was brought to the
Abbey by water, with the kings BARGE

keenness of observation and concen.
! tration.
Hypnotism he explained as an
other natural process and though
scientific, has not been fully explain
ed. One theory of hypnotism is that
1t affects the nervous system and pro-
duces sleep.
1t has four stages, each varying in
intensity and the effect on the sub
ject's body. They are sonnambu-
lism, catalepsy. lethargy and post
lethargy. The last stage is mostly
accidental and is very dangerous to
the subject.
Kirma made it clear that per-
son cannot be hypnotized against his
will except by artificial means, such
as applying pressure against certain
parts of the body. Successful hypno-
tism depends also. he said. on the i'm
agination of the subject and the con-
fidence he places on the hypnotist.
Hearing him speak on the subject

pear simple and clearly explicable.
After speaking with him, one almost
thinks one could. with a little prac-
tice and a few waves of the hand, do
the same things which mystify the
public.

of drawing his brows together while

KIRMA SAYS: IL MAKE
NO CLAIMS

II make no claims whatever to SUI
pernormal or supernatural powers
and all my deductions based on
purely scientific grounds. Spiritual
lists and mediums who claim to have
extraordinary powers are nothing
but frauds and We are doing all we
can to expose them"
| You are listening, ladies and gen.
tlemen. to Kirma. styled the original
| mystery man 70 India, who has been
astonishing large crowds at the New
Plaza Theatre with his ability to
answer questions, asked by the au-
| dience.
Those who claim they can bring
! back the dead are frauds and many
of them have been exposed" said
Kirma, speaking about the appear
ance of ghosts and shadow forms.
He said spirits can be made to ap-
pear. sounds and voices produced.
writing by an invisible hand can be
seen. and other like phenomena.
But these phenomena are brought
about by purely natural and scienti-
fic means and have no connection
whatever with departed spirits. In
fact. there is a $4,000 reward for the
first spiritualist who can produce
evidence proving that the dead have
been brought back, even once"
In his attack on frauds who go
about deceiving the public, Kirma de-
clared he intends to expose their ac-
tions at a seance at midnight Satur-
day, during which he will produce
the effects mentioned. then explain
how they are done.
Asked about the power of answer
ing questions regarding the present
and future. Kirma declared this is
likewise done by natural means. and
is purely scientific. He spoke of IAN

what Kirma calls the second plane
of life" The waves eventually cry
stalize in some object and are i'm
pressed in the mind of the mentalist,
who is thus enabled to answer the
question. II
Kirma made it clear this requires
keen concentration and that anyone
could cultivate the ability to receive
and interpret these impressions.

said, adding that the nature of

the original mystery man of India
there is nothing Hlndoo about his APP

at some OF his performances.
This is explained, however. by the
fact that he was born of an Ameri-
can mother and an English father.
The English influence is strong In his
manner of speech. He is about 80
years old and became interested in
mentalism and mysticism when he
was about IA. Most OF his education

the soil and crop needs of this par

Bishop William F. Mcdowell

Although Bishop William F.
Mcdowell was not a Della
warean, his long association
with this state and the Del
marva Peninsula, as head of
the Washington area of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
says the Journal-Every Even
ing Of Wilmington: caused
him to be looked upon as one
of our people. This feeling
was interdenominational. His
death, which came suddenly
at his home ir Washington
Monday, has occasioned sad
ness here, as it has elsewhere.
Bishop Mcdowell not only was
familiar with every part of
the territory covered by Will
mington Conference, over
which he long had presided,
but he also was acquainted
with the people, with whom
he was pleased to associate.
His friendly and sympathetic
manner endeared him to all
who enjoyed his acquaintance,
regardless of religious convic-
tions. His life was built upon
the high ideals of good citiz-
enship. Always agreeable, he
enjoyed wholesome humor, of
which he was a fine exponent.
1t was a delight to hear
Bishop Mcdowell preach. He
was always greeted by a large
and appreciative interdenom-
inational audience when he
appeared upon the Lenten
programs at st. Andrews P.
E. Church. Bishop Mcdowell
will be missed. He had a mis-
sion which appealed to people
in all walks Of life. That was
to lead others in the right
way of living. He never tired
in well doing. Even in ad-
vancing age he continued his
activities quite as vigorously
as he had in the earlier period
of his ministerial career. The
Methodist Episcopal Church
has lost a forceful and elo-
quent leader. The country
has lost a good citizen whose
life was an inspiration.

School Cafeteria 4
Well PatrOniZed

The cafeteria at the new North
Henderson school building was put in
to operation three weeks after the
opening of school in September.
Miss Ruth Carter, teacher, of one
of the second grades, has charge of
the cafeteria and is assisted lily Mrs.
f B. Cooper. Miss Carter received
special training for this work at the
University of Minnesota and at the
University of Louisville. She is espe-
cially well prepared and is carrying
on this work in a most efficient way.
The cafeteria is very attractive and
is being patronized by a large num-
Der of school children.
Hot plate lunches, hot soups and
milk are served daily. Lunches are
given to many of the children who
cannot afford to buy them and those
purchasing lunches are able to do so
at a very small cost.
The principal and teachers of the
school are emphasizing the impor-
lance of proper diet and of eating
lunch at the noon hour recess. The
entire school has become interested
in this project. The teachers feel that
it has greatly helped the attendance
of the school.
Several civic organizations, as we'll
as several individuals, have contribut-
ed to the fund used for the feeding
of undernourished children in the
school. The cafeteria is not being OPP
Grated for the purpose of making
money for the school, The object of
the project is to feed the children the
proper food at the smallest cost.
The cafeteria has been visited by
a great many friends from other COM
munities, and also by a large number
of interested patrons. The public is
cordially invited to visit the lunch
room at any time. The lunch hour at
the school begins at 1915 and is a
forty five minute period
The school now has an enrolment
of about three hundred children and
practically every child in school is
eating a noon day lunch.
