ELECTRICITY CAN
BUILD UP BRAINS
Electrical Wizard Finds High Fre
quency Current Can Make Dull
Minds Livelier and Brighter Chil
dren in Magnetized Rooms Grow
Twice as Fast.
BY FREDERICK SI. KERBY.
' (Starr Special.)
NEW YORK, July 11. Building
brains with electricity is the newest
triumph of science over nature!
Nikola Tcsla, famous electrical
wizard anil inventor, is responsible
ior this new application of the high
frequency current, which may revo
lutionize educational methods, turn
dullards into persons of high intel
ligence, and piroduce genius from or
dinary intellect.
"A high-frequency current intensi
fies the action of the brain," toys
Tcsla. "It is a mental stimulant like
alcohol, but instead of being hurtful
to the brain cells the electricity is
beneficial.
Ural n Stimulation.
"My attention was first attracted
to the possibility ifi brain stimulation
b.v the high-frequency current, by ob
serving one of my assistants, who,
while making liigh-frcqucncy tests,
seemed to be very stupid in carrying
. out orders. After a time I noticed
this assistant became brighter and
did ins work better. After careful
observation, and certain tests, I found
the high-frequency current was re
sponsible.' Tcsla has no doubt as to the bene
ficial effects which would follow the
, installation of electrical wires, care
'Jf.:lly insulated, in classroom walls
and saturation of the atmosphere in
the rooms with millions of electric
waves.
This novel method of nwnkening
dormant brain cells has been sub
jected to trial on nn extended scale
in Stockholm, Sweden. Two sets of
0 children caci, nvernging tho same
age, were placed in separate class
rooms exactly alike except for ton
cealed wires in one room. The rcgu
lur school work was pursued and the
test lasted six ninths.
Results Startling.
The results were startling. The
children ill the magnetized room in
creased in stature two and a half
inches, those in the tininngnctizcd
room one nnd one-fourth inches. The
former also showed nn increase in
weight and physical development
greater than the latter.,
Tho remarkable difference, how
ever, was in the mentality developed.
Those exposed to tho electric rays
averaged 92 per cent in their school
work, compared with an average of
72 per cent for children in the other
rooms. Fifteen pupils in the electri
ficd room were marked 10(1; only 9
in tho oilier rooms attaining this
, uinrk.
Sir. Tcsla has had conferences witl
the superintendent of schools of New
lork city, looking to tho possibility
of establishing an "electrified shool
room1 here.
LENS OPERATION
CANADIAN1 ARMY HEADQUAR
TERS IN FRANCE, July 11. Opera
tions agninst I.cns on this front, es
pccially around Avion and Levin, nre
still, for the most part, an artillery
ftiihire. Infantry patrols penetrate
the nrea of ruined houses immediate
ly ahead and occasionally blow up a
house in which the Germans nre be
lieved to be sheltered, but the greater
part of the task at present falls to
the guns.
In countcr-lialtcry operations for
the destruction of (he enemy's heavy
artillery, very remarkable results re
cently have been obtained by groups
of "Canadian heavies." Within a
period of 2 hours, more than n dozen
enemy battery jtositiiins were put out
of action. .Many direct bits on gun
pits were noted and virtually every
shell fired fell within fit) yards of nn
enemy gun, nllho these guns were
four to six miles distant nnd com
pletely out of sight of the gunners.

EAST ST. LOUIS, 111., July 11.
On the train that brought me to this
city of charred bones nnd inflamed
humanity was a fellow passenger who
told me this: "I am a railroad cc
ploye. My business this summer lias
been to ship negroes from the south
to the north. I have sent' thousands
to Cleveland, 0. 1 am now going
south for more. I will continue 'an
other month in this work. We send
them north with railroad faro paid.
Other men are doing the samo work
for other employers."
This man spoke of his work os if
he were shipping bricks.
Consequences did not worry hun.
He was mildly interested in what
this city has just gone thru. Ho was
ufter "niggers" nnd his pay cheek.
Influx of Negroes.
On the same train was a contractor
who lives in St. Louis and has con
struction contracts further north.
. "I recently sent a load of negroes
north on a job of ours,'! se said. "I
bought three tents for cooking, sleep
ing nnd eating, and now they arc
all happy."
He seemed glud so little made them
happy.
These men, nnd n score more I
have talked with here, agree it is
entirely reasonable to say thai
Every northern industrial city that
has received recently a large influx
of negrcs now has within its gates
tho germ that started the terrible
riots of rage that for two months
terrified and finally engulfed this
town.
About 12 square blocks arc -swept
of everything that will burn. Twisted
iron beds frequently two in a room,
as you can easily see cheap cook
stoves and iron utensils, things that
would not burn, arc all that is left;
except that in many of these little
beds of ashes are human bones. '
Mass of Chaired Ruins.
Under the pile of bricks Unit once
wns an opera house seating 3000 it
it expected that from 25 to 50 bodies
willjio found.
Meanwhile this is a haunted city
for negroes.
I have been-watching an endless
procession going out under military
protection going out with only the
clothes on their bncks and crude little
bundles filled with who knows what.
Always they arc afraid. Seldom
have I seen such fear.
"May I lake your picture?" I asked
a negrcss. She jumped in fright.
1 pointed a camera nt another. Had
it been a gun she would not luivc
been more frightened.
Seldom will they even talk, unless
assured by somcono they know.
Over in St. Louis they aro caring
for hundreds of refugees. 'Tho Red
Cross got into action nt once, white
girls from good homes working sid
by side with negro girls to check up
names nnd care for the destitute.
Negroes Maltreated.
In thine municipal lodging house a
tot cried endlessly: "I want my dad
dy, I want my daddy."
I asked the mother where "daddy"'
was. She didn't know, and maybe
never will.
Mrs. Lizzie Slcdmnn Inst saw her
husbnnd when a detective she sailed
n tin a "protective" took him away
Hut at police headquarters they have
no trace of him. She sobbed Out her
grief among dozens of others grief
stricken. "Her man" lin,l wnrkiwl
nt the aluminum factory for $;).". a
day, and they bad lived here for
three years.
Henry Woodruff told me he ran
from his home, into a soldier's arms,
ami that s all that saved him.
I'rof. Martin Luens, n negro prin
eipal, hid all night in a swamp nnd
esenped ncross the river. One man
swam the river.
For two months there lias been
trouble smoldering lure. More than
.'illtin negroes have conic in within
half n year. Many times blacks anil
whites looked for the same job, I
nm told. Many times the negro took
ii cncner. lie was in many coses
n eountry negro, and the wage he got
wns big to him.
Human Wlldnro.
Then on July 1 came the big
mush, the blaze of human wildncss.
An unto load of detectives whirled
into a negro street and was met with
n volley. Only two whites escaped.
Roy Albertson, reporter, was one of
them. It came so quick he hardly
knows what happened.
Some told me the negroes bud a
bad criminal record, and made the
whites determined to run them out.
I went to the police record and 1
found the proportion of crime about
aliko for white and black.
Tho last rape of a white girl was
Nov. 10. ' Mostly the chnrges were
disorderly conduct,, selling liquor
without license, gambling and rob
bery. There are stories that negroes, to
revenge the killing bf some of their
number by whites in May, hud u fined
to massacre whites ut a signal; and
that the firing of July 1 was due to
this plot nnd this arming.
A dozen investigations nre prom
ised, but shrewd ones wiig their beads
and say no white man can ever be
convicted of crime conmvtcd with
this slaughter of perhaps a hundred
people.

WASHINGTON, July 11. The
church is to become a positive force
in food conservation, as a result of
a conference here today between food
administration officials nnd church
men representing virtually every de
nomination in tho United States. A
committee from each denomination
will aid in the campaign, which will
includo weekly reports thru the
churches of what every family is ac
complishing in saving the necessities.
Herbert C. Hoover, Dr. W. L. Wil
bur, George A. Cullen nnd other of
ficinls of the food administration nil
dressed tile conference. Pastors will
be asked to keep their congregations
alive to the duty of food saving.
The weekly report system planned
in furtherance of this purpose re
quires that heads of families hand in
at church each Sunday a uniform re
port card, showing in detail what has
been done in his home during the
week toward conservation. On the
card, alongside the column to ho filled
in by t lie person reporting, is nrintcd
the food administration's requirement
for seven meatless meals, seven
whcatless meals nnd seven meals in
cluding dishes made from left-overs
each week.
OFT
1IOISE, Idaho, July 11. A "reign
of terror" has struck northern Idaho.
Life und' property ure being held in
the balance. Industrial Workers, of
the World arc spreading all over the
state. It is time for all sections of
Idaho, both north and south, to form
citizens' bodies for the protection of
their life and property.
"Two thousand troops arc needed
today in northern Idaho to cope with
the gigantic fight put up by the I.
W. W. to prevent the tinted St'ilos
from getting two billion feet of lum
ber necessary to meet the country's
war program."
This was the gist of the reeommen
lotions made by the stale defense
council in its report to the secretary
of war, according to a statement
made here tonight by Former Gover
nor Frank Cooding, member of the
board, who arrived from I'.icur
d'Alene.
Thritout (lie heuriiiirs in the north,
Mr. Gooding stated, Governor Alex
ander refused to sanction the call for
tnitcd States troops nnd insisted
that the local authorities were nble
to handle the situation.

REDUCE PRICES
WASHINGTON, July 11. dinners
of the country are asked to educe,
prices to as low a level as possible
in a letter sent them by Herbert C.
Hoover today in which ho warns that
the output of tho home canneries,
swelled to unusual proportions by
reason of the back yard gardening
campaigns, may prove a serious em
barrassment to H10 manufacturers iu
disposing of this year's product.
"There may no difficulty in secur
ing markets for staple and heavy sell
ing lines, providing prices are low,"
says Mr. Hoover, "but if dinners and
jobbers persist in asking high prices,
they will find retailers carrying these
high cost goods on their shelves for
succeeding years nnd a depressed
market for canners' piodnets."
