Smithsonian = Institu- tion believes that.the. future of individ- uals generally is unprediétable by for- | tune teHers,spirit mediums or astrol« Dr.'Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the | institytion, has so informed the Soclety of Amarican Magiclans of New York, which is dttempting to drive fortune | tellers out of New York City. Julian P. Proskauer, president of the Soclety of American Magicians, first | wrote to Attorney Gen. Mitchell asking a legal decision on the predictability of the future. 4 ‘The Attorney General turned the question over to other officials of the Justice Department, who referred Pros- kauer to the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Abbot’s reply to Proskauer’s in- quiry was: “The Smithsonian Institution has no evidence which it considers to prove that the fortune of individuals can be told by fortune tellers, spirit mediums or_astrologers. “The _ institution believes that the fortunes of individuals depend pri- marily an thelr own exertion, and sec- ondly on ‘the influence of ‘future en- vironment, and are in general unpre- dictable.” Dr. Abbott sald the institution had no especial interest-in the matter, but made it a practice to answer all in- quiries. —_— ‘Woman Found in Street Dies.

By the Associated Press. BERLIN, August 1.—Development of a hydrogenation process applicable to raw brown coal, by which the potential gasoline output of its plants wBuld be increased from 100,000 to 350,000 tons, was announced yesterday by the Igfar- benindustrie. . - . Research men have developed’ cata- |lyzing agents® capable of hastening chemical transformations during the process, at the same time saving the catalyzers for reutilization. The research men were spurred in their efforts by the apparent end of de- velopment in the cracking process by which gasoline is produced from oil. Additional benefits of the new process will permit production and regulation of various by-products to conform with market fluctuations.
