ONCE OVERS
AN EASY HABIT TO GET INTO
BUT HARD TO BREAK.

No matter how good a friend you
have you are sure to lose the full
measure of his friendship if yoJ
persist in borrowing money from
him.
Your friend may be glad TO ac-
commodate you once in a while. but
be cannot continue to feel the same
toward you if you make these re-
quests frequently.
Every sensible man has a system
of saving. a plan for meeting his
bills which leaves him without much
ready cash. and the amount you
want to borrow occasionally II
granted may cause that man or his
family actually TO go without ne
cessities 10 help o out, or he must
draw money from the bank and
disturb his interest account.
You may be one of the class
which does not figure on saving
enough to carry you through till the
next pay day.
You would rather be the good fell
low and have to borrow TO take you
through than to have horse sense
and provide sor your own expenses
now and in the near future.
An easy habit to get into-this
borrowing habit-and hard to break.
No matter how generous you are
with your money so long as il lasts
you are considered in the light OF a
nuisance if you make a practice OF
borrowing each week from the boys
in the office.

PALESTINE AND THE ZIONISTS.

There is a common impression that Great Britain.
the conqueror of Palestine, intends TO turn that coun-
try over bodily to the Zionists Of the world for the es
adjustment of "a Hebrew republic. This. as now ap-
pears, is not precisely the plan. At any rate, it is not
what the Zionists themselves ask.
we do not demand that Palestine should be hande .
over to US as a package on which to,stamp our label"
says Louis Lipsky. executive head Of the Zionist Fed
Grafton of America. Il wish to make it clear 10 al.
critics of the Zionist movement that we simply want
the opportunity to go to Palestine and demonstrate
our superiority over the people of other nations there.
When we do this. then. and then only will We demand
political and economic autonomy"
This is a fair enough proposal It implies that the
Holy Land shall be held. for a time. as an interna
tonal trust. under the protection Of the allied lowers
or "a league of nations. The Zionists have already made
great strides in the restoration OF their sacred father
land. even when oppressed by Turkish rule and handi-
capped by German interference. Given a free field.
there is no reason 70 doubt that they will prove theic
right to repossess their ancient heritage.

Strange Results of attempts to
Measure "Psychic Force
BY GARRETT p. sERVIss.

I have Just been reading a book
which purports to furnish evidence
on a basis of scientific investigation
of the reality Of phychic phe-
nomena. raps, deviation" etc. Being
the first work that I have heard of
which records the results of direct
measurements Of psychic force by
ear of physical instruments. such
as weighing machines, balances,
photographs, electric bells and man
Ometets, and the author being a
doctor of science" and an instruc-
tor in mechanical engineering in h
Municipal Technical institute and
the Queens university at Belfast,
Ireland. naturally took up the book
with keen if unsettled, expectation.
We have had more than enough
OF the sort Of thing that various
mediums and "sitters' regard as
communications from the dead. one
would like TO retain a respect for the
dead. which would be impossible il
their alleged u%tterances at spiritual
seances' were accepted for genuine.
But The promise held forth by this
book seemed TO rest on a totally diff
ferent foundation, and I opened it
with eager curiosity. Now. at last, I
said to myself. here is a real test Of
these mysterious phenomena by YER
ifble scientific methods, and the
prospect gave me lively satisfaction.
But when I looked at the preface
with which the author, DIR. w. J..
Crawford. opens the book my antici-
pations dropped like the mercury
in zero weather. I found there this
sentence: It do not discuss in this
book the question Of the identity
of the invisible operators. That is
left FOR another. occasion. But in or
der that there may be no misappre-
hension I wish 10 state explicitly
thai I am personally satisfied they
are the spirits of human beings who
have passed into the Beyond
THERE At those words the scales
| dropped from my eyes, and I saw
that this was, after all, not a true
scientific investigation Of the sub
iect for observe that DR.. Crawford,
with strange futility, begins by beg
ging the whole question. and that
without any advantage 10 his case,
but with the certainty Of awakening
skepticism on the part Of the
! thoughtful readers for whom his
| book was presumably prepared. He
sets out. ostensibly. 10 make a strict
llv scientific investigation Of the ma
ture OF the force that causes taps
and l~evitates tables, and then instead
OF holding his mind open and con-
( fning his attention 20 the observa-
/ ton and accumulation OF u~nQuestion-
able facts he starts with an assump-
uon-viz. that spirits Of the dead
are the operators Of the phenom-
/ ena under Investigation.
Il is apparently this unfortunate
! preliminary step which has forced
/ upoa him a very far-fetched and un-
; necessary theory concerning the sup
! posed mechanism by which the phs-

are even democrats in South Bend aside from political
lawyers, gamblers, blind-tisers. etc and they do not
care to have he party longer held responsible for such
actions. We expect to lift the party some day, up out

OF course he's glad the.war is won,
But deep within his heart.
He really feels that ne has done
A slacker's graceless bart.
He meant TO go and wrest from fate
a hero's glorious fame,
And now that it is all too late
His head is bowed with shame.
He saw his brothers march away.
He heard the trumpets blare.
And fondly hoped that some glad day
He'd join them over there.
But ship on ship put out 10 sea
Their decks with soldiers lined.
To set unhappy nations free,
And still he stayed behind.
And so he never had his chance
To leave his native shore
And win upon the fields Of France
The highest prize of war.
or course he does not rail at peace.
But secretly, we know.
He hoped the fighting might not cease
Until he, too, could go.
And vet we're glad war did not pause
For him 10 join the fray.

nomen are productive, the
theory of a 'cantilever" action be-
tween the medium and the table or
other levitated object. All through
the book the experimenter and the
operators" exchange communica-
tions by the well known methods Of
such things.
Nevertheless, DR.. Crawford has
succeeded in recording some exceed
ingly interesting facts, which may
eventually lead to very important
conclusions, if followed up by in
vestigators who do not start out with
the assumption that some other
source of psychic force" is concern
ed in the manifestations than that
included in the bodies Of the medium
and her coadjutors in the circle"
1t seems. for instance. an impor-
tant point of knowledge gained when
DR.. Crawford's weighing machine.
on which the medium sits during h
experiments, invariably shows an in
crease of her weight almost exactly
equal to the weight of the table sus-
pended in the air before her. In
other words. as the able rises from
the floor its weight seems 10 be add
ed to the weigh Of the medium. as
it would be if she simply lifted it
with her hands or feet.
DR.. Crawford assures US that she
did not touch the table in any way:
and if we accept his statement on
this point. then the increase Of the
--7=rr~os- -~zsuh~ u-T,an tho RI hTa fG
levitated becomes certainly an eX-
ceediigly curious and suggestive fact.
Quite as curious is his statement that
whenever the table was moved in
some other way-for instance. drawn
horizontally over the floor by "psy-
chic force"-the weight Of the me-
dunn was increased, though by a
much smaller amount than when the
table was raised bodily into the air.
The experiments with compress
sion balances, electric bells. etc. by
means Of which DR.. Crawford dem
/ onstrated 20 his satisfaction that the
mysterious force operated mainly
under the table, but did not react
upon the floor: hat il emanated
principally from the lower part OF
the mediums body, and could be de-
tected both as a force directed away
from her and one directed upward
when II came beneath the table: that
its intensity varied usually from
twenty-five thousandths 20 four hun
dredths Of a pound per square inch.
and always attended by a change
