EAST NORWALK
The third fire in a month in the
Leipsig Fur Shop occurred yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. The blaze
was confined to waste and rugs in a
corner of the building.
The Mayflower Hook and Ladder
Company responded to a still alarm
turned in from the Sireb Fur Cut-
ting Shop at Railroad place, but
found that the flames had been prac-
tically extinguished with "pony”
‘ ,' tanks by workers in the shop next
door.
Several barrels .of oil near the
spot of the outbreak were endanger.
ed at first. but the firemen rolled
them out of harm's way. The origin
‘of the fire could not be determined.
The building being used by the
Leipsig Fur Company is owned by
the Hanford estate. and stock in it
was damaged to the extent of $10.-
000 in a blaze throught to have been
started by sparks from a flash-light
‘ on ‘July 7. Insurance adjusters in
. the plant just before the second
outbreak. which damaged the build-
ing considerably. had been taking
pictures of the building and it was
preotmed that sparks lodged in two
places on the roof. A fire ten days
previous to the one of July 7 result-
ed in the destruction of $1.500 worth
of furs by smoke and chemicals.
Since the second of the early sum~
mer fires, the building has not been
occupied, and furs spoiling on the
ground floor were condemned and
destroyed after the, complain of
neighbors near the shop. ’

HARTFORD. Sept. 1.——The spe-
cial committee of the Connecticut
Theatre Owners’ association. which
was planning a flying trip to Gover-
nor Trumbull's Maine camp to urge
a special session of the
on the question of the state film tax,
will make no move in the immediate
future, following the report they re-
ceived that the Governor would re-
turn to Connecticut before it would
be necessary for the committee to
take action. J. W. Walsh. president
of the Connecticut Theatre Owners’
association announced here.
Most of the theatres here have
contracts that will tide them over
the next six or eight months. Mr.
Walsh said. but at: the end of that
time. if the law be in effect. those
theatres will "positively close."
Commenting on the situation. Mr.
Walsh said that the producers were
in earnest in the thing and at one of
their meetings in New York there
was a strong sentiment to cancel the
existing contracts.
The tax will mean an added bur-
den of about $2,500 to theatres. the
size of .the Rialto in Hartford. Mr.
Walsh said that the theatre owners
having found that the state does
not need money for revenue. could
not understand the reason behind
Swedish
the tax. .

Brain May Broadcast
Thoughts! L ate 8 t
Report 0 f Theory
Comes From Univer-
sity of Milan
Mental telepathy has taken on a
radio aspect.
Instead of dealing with this phen.
omenon as a psychic factor. scien-
tists are coming to believe that the
mysterious action of one mind on
another is. accomplished through the
transmission of some sort of ether
waves .
The latest report of such theory
is made by Fordinendo, Cazzamali,
professor of psychology and neur-
ology at the University of Milan.
Professor Cazzmiiii has formed the
belief that the brain is capable of
emitting certain radiographio waves
which can cause a sensitive receiver.
properly tuned to this wave. to whis-
tle. He has experimented with sub-
jects in various states of hypnotism
and others of nervous or excitable
temperament.
For the last ten years scientists
have been suggesting some such
sort of brain activity. by means of
which they tried to explain the my-
steries of mental telepathy. In fact.
the hypothetical rays emitted by the
brain were even termed “N-rays,"
and all sorts of tests were conducted
to locate them and learn their ef-
fects on sensitive instruments.
Electrical Reactions.
The theory that nerve action and
' brain action is electrical in nature, is
almost generally accepted by scien-
tists. It is only another step to the
belief that the process of thought in
the brain would also be the product
of an electrical disturbance.
If it could be established that
thought is in an electrical process in
the brain scientists would take it as
merely the next step in finding a_
method by which this thought could
be conveyed directly to other minds.
or to ,attuned receivers. without the
aid of any of the known organs of
sense. ‘ '
Mental telepathy is just this, with-
out reference to the electrical. It is
the transference of thought from
mind to mind without the apparent
use of any of the known senses. But
the, theory has long ben advanced
‘ N“
Ts?" i
The sketches merited A were
drawn by scientists who tested the
truth of mental telepathy. The sketches marked B were dratm by sub-
iecis perhaps attuned to the radio waves broadcast by the minds of the
experimenters. Dr. Gardner Murphy
of Columbia University, who is shown
in inset, has been interested in such experiments by radio.
that this may be'the result of inter-
action by meam of an unknown
other waveniust as it might be pure-
ly a psychic phenomenon.
Fan Test Fells.
Professor Gardner Murphy of Co-
lumbia University, Professor Robert
H. Gault of Northwestern Univer-
sity, and Professor H. B. English of
Antioch College have studied mental
telepathy through the use of broad-
casting. They made tests through
Station WJAZ at Chicago and re—
ceived replies from thousands at
fans.
But the results. they report. were
more or less accurately some of the
ideas that were thought of or writ-
ten by the broadcasters. But thesia.
say the experimenters. were below
the number that would even guess
accurately according to the laws of
chance.
When both experimenter and sub-
Jsct were in the same room. hon-cw;
many satisfactory results
shown in the transmission or
acurateiy the ideas in the minds
of agents, and even copied diagrams
drawn by the cxperimentei‘s.
What causes this. whether radio

deep puzzle,

$140,000 to Be Raised
By Popular Subscrip-
tion
GREENWICH. Sept. 1.-—Expeu-
diture of $140,000 for improvement
and beautifying of Greenwich har-
bor was planned at a meeting of the
local Harbor committee here. The
proposition as placed before the
Board of Estimate and Taxation by
the committee is that they will su-
pervise the raising of 860,000 of the
whole by personal and public sub-
scription with the town to appropri-
ate the remaining “0.000.
No Oiiiclal Action
Official action of the board was
not taken but it is understood that
a majority of the members have sig-
nified their consent to the plan
pending a demonstration that the
public is willing to make up the
$60,000 fund. A recommendation
that the plan be accepted and
placed before the next town meet-
ing by the board is almost positive
to insure its adoption.
The action is the direct result of
the meeting of the harbor commis-
sion a year ago at the Kent House
at which time it .was decided to
submit the situation to a study by
the Henry Steers Construction com-
pany of New York. This company's
representative, Mr..Trout. offered to
the committee a design calling for
impounding and dredging the we-
ters and beautifying the shores with
shade trees.

The money invested was little, at best; though
to be seen she was fashionably dressed. She knew
that the other girls guessed that with money foroodles of cldthe‘s
she was blest.
Ah, she was a girl of the type that is rare. She never cont?“
plained she had nothing to wear. When shopping she went,
goods came off of the shelf, and she copied the latest of styles:
all herself.
You’ll have to admit that Miss Kathleen was wise. She stood
