a! Homicide As A Joke
! ;
, A fire truck was answering a fire
alarm in Winston-Salem, when an
/
accident occurred and a fireman
, was killed. The alarm was false.
. Three young men alleged to have
, turned in the false alarm will be
, charged with murder. If they sent
_ in the false alarm they are as guilty
f of the death of that fireman as if
they had killed him with their own
hands. But the North Carolina way
is to say they didn't mean to do it
, and let it go at that. At the University
a few years ago a bunch of
brutes who found pleasure in the
suffering of' others forced a fellow
student to stand on a barrel and
dance. The barrel tilted, the young
man fell off and was killed. The
wretches who forced the act that
caused death were as guilty as if
they had hit the victim with an axe.
They were convicted of murder but
the plea, 'They didn't intend to hurt
him, it was all in fun," saved them
from punishment. We make a hypocritical
pretence of opposition- to
mob law, but by precept and ex
Jample we encourage mob . law and
aid and abet lawlessness and crime.

SEEING GHOSTS

That the human body has a radiating
atmosphere, emanation, or
V'aura" has long been held. A simple
'experiment will enable the reader to
1 itest the reality of this aura for himself,
says the Herald of Washington
D. C. Hang a black cloth upon the
jwall, or over the back of a chair,
^ave the room lighted from the onjly
one source, fairly low down, on
1 .t.ViP nnnnsite side of the room, and
;jsit facing the black cloth, with your
'back to the light, in such position
jhat your body throws your hands in,to
shadow, when they are held in
front of you against the cloth,
j Now, slowly separate the fingers,
of one hand against the tips of the
fingers of the other hand (the
thumbs need not touch) and keep
jthem thus tightly pressed together
for about fifteen seconds.
Now, slowly separate the fingera,
drawing them apart, when fine,
misty, white vapor-like streams may
be seen to extend from the tips of
the fingers of one hand to the fingers
of the other?becoming more
and more asturated, or thinner, as
the hands separate, until they finaly
break and snap altogether.

Just about that much has happened,
however. The music or tiie relatively

course, the best and most graceful
practitioners of the free-footed dancing
