SAR Aa ONLY NINE LYNCHINGS According to the Tuskegee Institute annual bulletin on the subject, only 9 per: | sons were lynched in the United States last | year, the smallest number in any year ex- | celt one since records have been kept, | that being 1932, when there were only 8| lynchings. All 9 persons lynched in 1936 were Negroes, and the offenses charged were: ! Rape, 3; attempted rape, 3; murder, 1; | activity_in share cropper strike, 1; charge i not reported, 1. Lynchings occurred in| Arkansas, 2; Flor- | ida, RS Georgia, 5; Mississippi, 1 igures compiled at Tuskegee in-} that officers of the law saved 69} persons from death at the hands of mobs during. the year, and of this number y were white. The crime of lynching has greatly de- creased in recent years, due largely to in- creased vigilance on the part of officers of the law, and especially through prompt removal of certain classes of suspected | criminals to more secure prisons at a con- | siderable distance from the localities where these crimes were committed. Lynching in the United States reached its most frightful height in 1892, when no less than 231 persons were killed by mobs, 69 of the victims being white. During the last five years lynchings have occurred as follows: In 1932, 8; in 1933, 28; in 1934, 15; in 1935, 20; in 1936, 9. ‘ The resort to lynching is indefensible under any circumstances, and is a reflec- tion upon any community in which it oc- curs. No good citizen will participate in or condone mob murder. \ ' IS MENTAL TELEPATHY A FACT? Human beings, as a rule, are inter- ested in the unknown -and_ exceedingly anxious, if possible, to believe in mys- terious forces and powers. For decades there has been much discussion over so- called “mental telepathy” or thought- transference from one mind to another without direct physical contact having been established. It is interesting to call attention to experiments conducted by Prof. Joseph Banks Rhine, of Duke University, who, for six years, has been attempting to deter- mine whether telepathy or clairvoyance actually exists. He has used a pack of playing cards in 100,000 tests, securing results far beyond the laws of probability. | 'T One particularly sensitive subject was able to perform thirty-three times as well as the indicated probable error under the rules of chance. He reports that distance} makes little difference in the experiments and that the “guessing” is just as good at} distances of hundreds of miles as when the subjects are in the same room. As a result of his work, psychologists are tending toward the conclusion that telepathy is no longer to be regarded as a superstition but to be classed as a scien- | tifie fact.
