HCSIS VIII be fashionable again
~ this winter. The wrist watch craze
is passing. Flying machines are becom-
ing as common as debts. The season for
corn on the cob is nearly at an end Night
gowns, bicycles and ghosts are coming
back.
While waiting for the Hun-made clouds
to roll by and for Mars to get into overails
and rebuild the world the First, Second
and Third Grave Diggers Of literature are
busy supplying our crying need for phan-
toms. No publishing house this fall with
out its collection of ghost thrillers- The
latest is bouquet of disseminated humans
by j. Walker McSpadden entitled Famous
Ghost Stories.
We have often wondered why ghosts
come back. What's the matter with Ghost
don't Are they pursued or luredf Why
do they leave Over There and come Over
Heref Landlords, income tax or Just
pure "noisiness"f Maybe they are troubled
by pacifst socialists, book agents who in
sist on selling them the One Hundred
Celebrated Crimes Of Human Beings, or
poor relatives who ring their door bells
begging for bodies.
There are, according to all good ghost
statesmen, three kinds of ghosts-the COM
mon house ghost, the nuisance who is put
out OF the barrooms at l A. NJ on soma
phantasmagoric Gray Way and rumbles
into your room, thirsty, at about 8 A. NJ,
just as you had settled down in your bed
with Scotch and sody and story by
Joe Hergesheimer; the gliding graveyard
ghost, who stands in the middle of the
path like one Of the white wings Of the
Avenue and chants the finest set of cali
ope symphonies in treble bass, Y mnjor,
while you scoot for trolley car; the ghost
full OF salt water and loose chewing who
stalks around three masters and fishing
smaeks at sea, getting tangled up in the
rigging and the first mates oaths.
Twelve years ago we lived in a tiny lit
tie village in Mexico, near the base Of
Popoeatapetl. The Mexicans make hal
cyon and vociferous ghosts, we were told.
You may expect party any night,
senor,' said our genial, eutlass laden land
lord is he closed the door of our room.
There's band of them in this house
but they will not harm yoaL They were all
sariors of society, and they only murder
one another So at about each morn
ing, when the swarthy gang from the
Mexican Fourth Dimension invaded our
room and played Mexican ghost poker in
the middle of the floor and drank bottles
OF ultra violet pulque till daylight, paid
no more attention to them than German
diplomat does to promise They were as
harmless as trained flies. You Gun adapt
yourself to ghosts. But can ghosts adapt
themselves to usf Apparently not. As
a matter of fact We scare the breath out
Of them.
Then there are the ghosts that are not
ghosts at an-lobster projections, Welsh
rabbit inearnations, booze pbantoms:
ghosts produced by bad plumbing, unaired
rooms, seven pipefuls and CHAMBERS of the
imagination. A murder or two, done off
hand, may bring on q ghost; sleepless
kaisers, the Teutonic wiilies, or lingering
too long in the Grand Central subway sta
tlon at p. Nall ghost producers. But
Mr.. McSpadden doesn't enlarge on the
physico- psyche -nervo aspects of the case.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Postof-
fee Commltte on Telegraphs and Tele-
phones, which Will operate the wire
lines under government control, held
Its first meeting in the office OF Post
master-General Burleson yesterday.
The meeting was informal and most
OF the discussion concerned the basis

Postmaster-General Burleson as chair
man, Assistant Postmaster-G General
Koons, David J. Lewis, member OF the
tariff committee, and William II. La
