Margery and Followers Publish Book on Psychics EVILS JFMIERICA Soviet Makes Lurid Address in Come-Back Attempt Moscow, Feb. 17 (Pi That Loon Trotzky has lost none of his cussed tho provisions of the new ! "'a-iimo popularity was strikingly snown recently, when frantic thousands of his admirers fought contract for four hours, making searching inquiries as to the, mean ing of certain clauses and tiring hypothetical questions at the union lenders. , Not until the miners were fully assured that there Is no compulsory arbitration in the new agreement, did the, men from the pltls who stood together for more than five w ary months, cease their question ing. Not a voice was raised In op position, only friendly inquiries were made. Then came the vote of for admission to the theater where the fornur chief of the Red army delivered a three hour oration on "America's menace to the world." Seven thousand persons gained admission by paying J 5 to Jla. wdiilo mounted militia was called out to keep order among the dis appointed throng outside. The American correspondents, like the public, had to pay from $S up to $15 to ticket, speculators, as the pproval, three che.-rs for the end-' for'i"'1 oeo confessed that It wa ip.g of the struggle and home home ""'"'.ft to help them get seats. As to prepare for work and wages that, Trotzky finished his three hour mc: t of the miners have not s --ti I 'M ot picturesque, phrases j-inee last September and climaxes, only at niidnigl it The convention was an unusual ly quiet one, and the business be for the delegates was disposed of in one day. Most of the coal companies are ready to receive the workers. When the word was (lashed from Fhila d Irdiin, last week thai an agree, ment has been reached, the mining companies begun to prepare for re sumption, every precaution Is being taken to avoid aceid"iits. Timbers are being examined, air teeter), roofs of the underw-orkfngs Investi gated and machinery overhauled. Tn the convention yesterday there was a moment, of silent as n 'yarn ing was read to tlv miners to be careful when they start work and to pass the word along tn all their fellow workers to remember the hazards of the Industry. John ).. Lewis, president of the miners' union, visited Plymouth tv-ar Wilkcsharri: in th" forenoon today to address a. large me. ting of min ers, lie iinii p;e,mis d the mine workers of that community to Msii them and today was his tlrst. oppor t unity. Shortly te fore the convention's was impossible for the corre spondents to give- more than a hur ried paraphrase of his remarks. To ringing applause, Trotzky said that all Europe except Russia hod become the servant of Amer ica, He pictured the I'nited States as a. mighty mons'er of capitalism, ready to devour all Europe and be come the majority slockholder of all the resources of mankind. He, asserted, however, that capitalism was expiring and that America's colossal wealth was her most vul nerable spot. "The higher America climbs to power," ho declared, "the more dreadful will be her fall!" "Tho pillaging character of American capital is the greatest foe of the proletarian revolution," Trotzky continued. "Capitalism in Europe is already roiten and un able to create n"w values. In America, however, 1' is still a mighty force and is encompassing the world. "The boundless might, of America lies in her extraordinary huge technical development. Europe has surrendered completely to America and is now living on America's re. lations, Europe's rescue rests in Kostrn, T'eh. i: (PiTiio contro versy hitween "Margery," the me dium, her supporters and opponents has taken a in vv turn with the pub lien lion of a booklet intruded to give a permanent record of her medium ship. i'opl'it will go fo every library In the world with more than I'lO.fm" voiumes, to the professors of physics and psychology in al the higher in s'ltutions of learning In tho world, to all officers of Instruction and gov ernment at Harvard university, and to the members of the American Society for Psyehial Jiosoarch.

Martin of the Eshlenl Culture society, S. Kalph Harlow of Smith college and Joseph He Wyekoff, The booklet apparently Is aimer at the findings of the Harvard group of Investigators who charged the psychic, trickery last fall, and fo nul lify the effect of an article In a popular magazine which purported to describe her methods. Considerable of the text satirizes individuals who participated in the Harvard sittings and even tho cover carries on a crimson background a title of the words "Margery-Har-vard-Veritas." The sub-title pro claims the work to be "a study of psychics." Complete minutes of the Tlarvard sitting are published for the first time, and contributed articles in clude one by J. .Malcolm Pird. chief research officer of the American So ciety for Psyehial P.esearch. and by Dr. Richardson, who describes u voice control machine which he- lias designed to prove that the spirit voice functions independently of the medium.

Declaring that It s a thousund times better to prevent than to cure, ( Ernest V. IVlton, president of the ,l'nled Community corporation. Ispoke on "The Community Chest" i'OH!'fl tnr; Exchange club ut Its' weekly meeting In the Durritt hotel j at o'clock last night. He said that the main purpose of the club is to prevent the neces- i isity of charity by the promotion of (organizations that build character land health. He referred to orgnn 'izations such as the Hoy Scouts and 1 1 ho Young Men's Christian associa tion. He stated that tho Commun ity corporation has been criticised lb. cause It. contributes to many or IgunUiitlons which arc not of a char iltable nature. "My answer to that criticism," he jContendid, "is this is It better to i cure of prevent'.'" Speaking of th" formation of the .first Community Chest fund, Mr. IPeiton said: "In J PIT. the Chamber of I'otnmerce committee of charities and philanthropies, decided to In- vesticaie tho various charitable or ganizations In New Britain. Several speakers were brought hero and It was decided as a result of these meetings, to give the plan of one campaign a year for all charities in Mho city a trial. We went to eight jCliaritalilo organizations and got aj jcoiitideiitlal list of the, subscribers. We made the startling discovery at! jthat time that there were only 1,000 j contributors to the eight charity or Iganizalons. Wo also toiind that j this number must be divided Inlo j i half for out of these subscribers' there were usually two In each family, a man and his wife. Further j 1 inv esiigatlon showed that only 73 i j persons gave to five or more or ganizations, wdille only two sub- scribed to all eight." ' .

"If we convert, ell the mn- hlnery In America into human muscular strength and divide that tieure by the number of Its in habitants." he said, "we will find that every American, including suckling babies, possesses ."a me e'hanicn! slaves." "America." he continued, "Invest ed twenty-five billion dollars In the great war. and not, less than thirteen billion dollars of this remained in America's factories.

Smokers tell each other "My boy hss recently taken a great fancy to Life Savers," one man said. "You fchow, those candy mint3 with the hole." "Yes," his friend smiled. "My kids like 'em too." "But the funny thing is," his friend went on, "the kid's got me eating them now, too. They'rs the greatest tiling you ever discovered between smokes. I'm never without a package at the office, at home or travelling like this." More and more smokers are doing the same thing. We wondered if you knew this about Life Savers, those little candy mints with the hole; how they freshen your mouth between smokes, soothe your nerves and make the next smoke taste so much better. It's a fact: Life Savers easily double your smoke enjoyment. Their v.'onderful aromatic flavors freshen your mouth like a good drink of water when you're really thirsty and steady your nerves for work or play. Once you try them this way between smokes, you'l! always have a package handy. Sis flavors are displayed at all good stores so you may help yourself: Pep-o-mint, Wint-c-grcen, Cinn-o-mon, Lic-o-rice, Cl-o-ve and Vl-o-let. Five cent3 a package, Life Savers, lac, Port Cheater, W.
