DR. DUNLAP RIDDLES
TALES OF TELEPATHY
j "Nothing Doing," Says Johns Hop
j kins Professor, of Experiments
by Harvard Psychologists.
Special TMspatch to Tie- Star.
BALTIMORE, March 29.—“ Nothing
doing.” It wits with words to that
effect, if not in that exact language,
that Dr. Knight Dunlap, professor of
experimental psychology at Johns ,
Hopkins University, answered the
1 question, 'Ts it possible for men In
I Cambridge, Mass., to know what men
in New York are thinking about
; without any physical communication
1 between them; that is, has mental
1 telepathy been proved to mean any-
I thing?"
j Dr. Gardner Murphy and Dr. Harry
I Helson of the department of psy
| chology at Harvard University have
i been conducting experiments recent
ly, according to dispatches from Cam
bridge, and claim to have established
communication between groups at
Cambridge and at New York, by mere
"concentration of mind.”
They are reported to have said
that they plan to conduct similar ex
periments between Paris and Cam
bridge, and to say that cases of
thought transference from Africa to
this country have been proved to
have occurred.
Visions of radio sets dismantled,
of wives "thinking" baby’s newest
words to hubby in the thick of his
concentration on price lists of spare
parts. Visions of secret thoughts
escaping into the atmosphere and
caught up by the wrong person.
Visions of a, world in which it would
be even more dangerous to think than
it is at present.
But Dr. Dunlap was at once both
cynical and reasurring.
“I do not know Dr. Murphy or Dr.
Helson,” he said. “I do not know
anything about their work. But I
do not think any phychologist ex
cept MeDougall at Harvard attaches
any importance to thought transfer
ence. No, I do not."
Dr. MeDougall is Dr. William Mc-
Dougall. professor of psychology.
"Are there any cases of thought
transference on record which science
recognizes as authentic?” Dr. Dunlap
was asked.
“Certainly I have not found any In
my experience." he answered.

COLORING FISH OLD PROCESS,
AND HARMLESS, SAYS EXPERT
Popular Prejudice AgainM White Salmon Prompted
Use of Tint to Make Equcdly Good Sea Food
Salable , is Explanation.
(oloration of canned salmon fn
order to defer to a prejudice on the
part of the average consumer has
been practiced since the inception of
the Industry of kippering salmon, and
this harmless coloration Is but com
parable to the bleaching of flour and
the tinting of butter, cheese, con
fectionery and other problems, ac
cording to Gardner Poole, president
of the Lnited States Fisheries Asso
ciation, who has made public a letter
to J >r. Charles A. Browne, acting chief
of the bureau of chemistry, in con
nection with the current press reports
on the "tinting” of fish, here and else
where.
The unfortunate thing about it all,
according to officials of the federal
bureau of fisheries and to others ex
perienced in the salmon industry of
the Pacific coast, is that the superi
ority of red-colored salmon is a
delusion People have believed for
aecaaes thHt salmon, to be tlrst-clajss,
must be red—the redder the better.
J ins, it is pointed out authoritatively,
is not true.
Third of Catch White.
It is a matter of common knowl
edge, Mr. Poole states, that while in
most cases the flesh of the highly
prized "king" salmon, largest of the
Pacific species, is deep red. in some
places as much as one-third of the
catch has white meat, while some
lindividual fish have red flesh i

on one side of the body and white on
the other.
Two other varieties, the “silver”
and the “eh um” salmon, which are
I taken in rivers emptying into the
Pacific, have meat which, while al- !
ways white, is every bit as rich in
oil and as delicious to the taste as
the red meat. The old-fashioned
prejudice against any hut the reddest
meat has prevented these varieties
front receiving the same price as the
no more valuable red meat, arid has
caused for years a coloration process
which, did it not exist, would result |
in a diminution of supply and a much
higher price for the red-meated fish. |
“This association anti members of 1
the trade are unable to fathom the
basis for the unwarranted attack on
an important branch of the fishing
industry.” (‘resident Poole wrote J>r
Browne, "and are surprised at the in
dicated Jack of familiarity of repre
sentatives of your bureau with the
facts.
('•lorinc Old Process.
“Since the inception of the industry
it has been the practice of the manu
facturers to use the white flesh and
to color the outside with a n irmiess
dye. This practice has continued for
twenty years without interference
and without innuendo that the prac
tice was indulged j n f or the purpose
of concealing inferiority.
“The stories of 'dyed salmon’ and
‘painted fish sold as red salmon,’ and
the reported statement of llr. Imnhar
of your bureau that ‘dyed salmon, as
a rule, are not salmon' at all. it was
said, hut a species of white fish that
resembles salmon in everything but
color' only tend to bring discredit
upon an important industry, the great
I majority of the representatives of
I which are of as high caliber as those
| of any comparable industry,
j “I feel certain that you -do not in
j lend your bureau to work an inten
tional wrong upon this industry, 1
| Will, therefore, appreciate a prompt
■ reply stating the attitude and action
I of your bureau in this matter and. in
order that the damage done max not
be further augmented, an immediate
release to the press of the burcawti
position.
Taslr Surest c.uiilr.
“This whole ‘tempest in a fish ket
tle - is really entirely unnecessary."
states a Washingtonian who has spent
years on the Pacific coast and is
thoroughly familiar with its fisheries.
“If only some agency could educate
consumers to the fact that the color
jof Pacific salmon varies with both
species and individuals, and that the
deciding factor in any brand is taste
and richness, not color, the question
would automatically solve itself."
It is practically always the Pacific
salmon, by the way. that ore "■kip
pered." The supply of Atlantic sal
mon is now too slender even, to sup
-1 ply the demand for fresh fish.
