British Research Society
Makes Radio Test
By United Treat
LONDON, Feb. 1 7.—Thousands
of letters were delivered today at
the ofTlees of the Psychical Se-
searcli Society, which last night
had about 2,000,000 radio listen-
ers reaching Into the air for
thought waves being broadcast by
a group of persons confined In the
society’s offices. The letters con
talned the surmises of the radio
listeners regarding the nature of
the broadcast thought waves.
For about half an hour after 11
p. m. lHst night, five objects suc-
cessively were displayed before
the thinkers In the society’s office
while the millions of persons who
normally would have been listen-
ing to a regular radio program,
endeavored to Intercept the
thought waves, If any, created by
the concentrated attention of the
group upon the objects.
Sir Oliver Lodge, eminent spir-
itualist, made the Introductory
speech over the radio, explaining
that the purpose of the test was
to determine whether thought
could be broadcast by mental
telepathy. Then at Intervals of
five minutes, the five objects were
shown to the thinkers. Sir Oliver,
In each Instance, gave the radio
listeners a hint as to what they
were to think for.

HUDSON.O nt„ Feb. 17.—Only
a few hardy “sourdoughs” have
had the courage to brave bill-
iards and 40 below temperatures
to follow the trail to ‘ Woman
LAke,»Ont„ where discovery of an
Immensely rich gold field Is re-
ported.
Sixty feet wide, according to its
finders, the vein Is said to run the
entire length of a mile-long Island
in the lake.
Captain 1* O. P. Pickard, who
headed the party that bared the
vein, Is at present in Quebec, con-
ferring with his associates In the
Quebec Mining Company.
When he comes thru here in a
few weeds'on his way to Woman
Lake, he expects to bring with
him a greatly augmented force of
men, and on arrival at the lake
will make preparations to beglty
wording the property after the
first thaw.
Meanwhile, there Is consider-
able activity here as a result of
the find. Dog teams are carry-
ing dissembled parts of the min-
ing machinery over the frozen
trait to Woman Lake, and plC|
| turesque prospectors are drifting
In one by one.
Capt*n Pickard’s company has
satked the Island from water's
edge to water’s edge, and, with
other big concerns, holds claims
In the line of strike on the main-
land. Captain Pickard himself
stumbled on the vein.
Altho a number of old-timers
are mushing by dog train from
Hudson to Woman iAke, intend-
ing to stake elalins, no real rush

order to a Service Grocer and you can depend on receiving in a
short time the freshest fruits, vegetables and meats, high grade
canned goods and nationally famous products. The cost is prac-
tically the same but there is a lot of difference in the service.
Your order is delivered, if there should be any item unsatisfac-
tory then the grocer will kindly refund your money or give you
credit on your bill for the cost of the same.
Check the grocery advertisements with the items that you buy
daily at our stores and you will see that the prices are most flex-
ible, if you pay more for eggs one place you will probably pay
less for butter; in the loag run you pay no more—you have the
advantage of the delivery service, the credit system and the qual-
ity foods that every service grocer handles.
