She drew out of little leather
bag a tiny powdered handkerchief
and small mirror, framed in clear
ottoman. The shine removed, the
mirror and the handkerchief re-
turned to the bag, she sat with her
eyes fixed, again intensely thought
full.
"Who would have said, six years
ago, that one day the hours would
run for me as smoothly as they do
now; that no tiff the next minute

ingratiating as his look. His face
clears and to soothe his annoyances
it sufices that I pass my hand soft

use, even if they are commonplace or

Back in the recesses Of the subcon-
scious she was born; created in an
ideal world, conceived in fancy. She
has fashioned herself out of the
stuff Of the imagination and there
she remains, admitting no interests
that would contradict tho illusion.
Such she believes and understands
herself to bean English spinster
Of long ago.
Concerning an effort I made to

the following lines to me:

"The case is one upon which no

The Sorry Tale Only a reading

adequate idea of the great reser-

careful survey Of Mrs. Curran S

the bearing which the case has upon
the problem of subconscious refec

Mrs. Curran says she was asked
by Patience Worth to adopt a ''wee

way in the world but a smile," and
within the next week Providence
sent newborn infant her way.
She called her Patience Worth and
hung a gold cross around her neck
with a ruby in the centre. She is
now three years old and her foster
mother says she will be brought up

the fuselage.
You hope you are doing it
gracefully, but the toe of your right
foot catches on the pit, or what
ever 1t is you sit on, and during a
desperate struggle to release it you
hear the camera click.
Then a perfectly calm young
man with cigarette, after suggest
ing that you have your helmet on
wrong side before, crawls into the
seat in front of you and takes a
squint at the sky. 1t develops that
he IS picking out a hole in the
clouds to go through, precisely like
locating the cup on the putting
green, and from the ease with which
he strikes it later it is considerably
easier. to hit.
Il had Immediately a real feel
Ing of confidence in that young man.
After all, he liked himself as much
as l did myself, and he seemed to
look upon the whole thing as a mere
incident, something sandwiched be-
tween breakfast ard luncheon, like
marcel wave or buying a pair Of
gloves. He was quite easy. In
deed, once or twice I thought per-
aaps he had fallen asleep. We

"At 2:15-very lovely below. All the

The white surf lines do not seem to

"At 2:25-Masses of white clouds be-
low us. Some drops of moisture on
my face. Heavens, are we boiling?
Do aeroplanes boil?
"At 2:45-Almost over. Sorry. It
has been wonderful. The landing
place looks rather small.

TIME strange case Of Patience
Worth and her supposed

TINE strange case Of Patience
Worth and her supposed
communications with this
world has excited more than ordi-
nary interest since Mrs. John H.
Curran, Of st. Louis, came to
New York two weeks ago with her
ouija board. Her public meetings
At the home Of Mrs. Herman Behr,
1873 East Sixty-sixth Street, have
been attended by scientists, psy-
biologists, writer's and experts Of
various kinds, who profess to be
bafaed by the writings Of Pa
to be baffled by the writings Of Pa
tience. presumed to have been dead
$50 years. To some she has become
Jest. Others have swallowed
Wholesale the story Of her origin
and her persistent communications
to this world through Mrs. Curran
and the ouija board. A specialized
minority are reserving Judgment.
The psychologists are numbered
among the latter.
Who is Patience Worth?
Did she ever exist?
Are Mrs. Curran and she the
same person?
The psychologist who has had the
fullest opportunity to study the
phenomenon had a comprehensive
survey of his conclusions in a re-
cent issue of "The American Psyche
logical Review" He is Professor
Charles E. Cory, Of Washington
University, st. Louis. He does not
believe that Patience ever lived, as
she so persistently asserts, but he
docs admit the unconscious genius
of Mrs. Curran. He expresses him
self on the subject as follows:
Mrs. Curran is an intelligent
woman, but her mind is much in
ferior to that of Patience Worth. In
short, there is sub-conscious self
far outstripping in power and range
the primary consciousness. This Is
an indisputable fact, and it is sig
nificant one for psychology. In some
way the disassociation has resulted
in the formation Of a self with
greatly increased calibre 1t has
not only given it access to a much
wider range of material, but it has
given it a facile creative power
amounting to genius.
"Patience Worth is a personality
Of tremendous creative energy. And,
unlike most dissociated personali-
ties, she is morally sound. 1t is in
conceivable that these elaborate and
intricately wrought novels should
not have been planned before they
were so hastily written. The selves
are not alternating but co-existent
or co-conscious. That which IS
peculiar in this case Is the quality
Of the mentality Of the second self.
| accept the judgment that Patience
Worth is a genius Of no means order.

Dirision Of Labor

"Thc division OF the self has re-
suited in division of labor. To
Mrs. Curran falls the care of the
needs of the body and the needs of
social life. Their reactions and dis
fractions are hers. From all this
Patience Worth is free. Between
her and the entire active phase of
life stands the buffer consciousness
of Mrs. Curran.
Upon one subject this mind is
under an illusion. She insists that
she is the discarnate spirit of an
Englishwoman who lived in an age
now long since passed. That she is
honest in this belief there is no rea-
son to doubt. The full history Of
this illusion, this idea that she is q
returned spirit, can be secured only
by psycho-analysis. But it is worth
noting that Patience Worth made
her appearance after Mrs. Curran
had spent many evenings with a
friend, . confirmed Spiritualist, with
a view to getting q message from
the spirit world. In the atmosphere
of expectancy, Of hope that voice
from the dead might be heard, she
may be said to have been born, and
It is more than possible that the idea
became at that time vital part OF

guages. Every camp in the country
was required to establish special
schools to teach foreign-born men
to read and write in English. And
this condition was largely due to the
influence of the foreign language
press. If the foreign born had not
been able to get newspapers printed
in their native language they would
have felt compelled to learn English.
Today, in Chicago, there are more
daily newspapers printed in foreign
languages than in English. The for
eign language influence is almost a
determining factor in elections. There
should be an extensive inquiry into
this question, although it is to be ex-
pected that strong political pressure
will be exerted to prevent such an in
vestigaton.
Owing to the war the hyphenated
American is not so prominent as he
was in the days before the great con-
fict. But the foreign language press
is helping to make assimilation of the
immigrant difficult. It asserts that it
is loyal, but it is the sort of loyalty
that leans to the old world and it's
customs in spirit while enduring
America only because it is materially
more profitable as a place of habita-
ton. The war demonstrated the dan
ger of a divided allegiance. The for
eign language press fosters such an
allegiance. 1t has no proper place
here and it ought to go.-Ex.

UNSkILLED SERVICE MEN IN
DEMAND

Splendid opportunities are now
open to disabled service men to OBJ
tain vocational training in the ship
building industry at the same tine
that they are earning excellent in
comes, it is announced by Colonel
Arthur Woods, assistant to the secre-
tcry of war, who is in charge of the
unemployment of ex-service men.
Men who are interested in these
opportunities should communicate
with the office of the assistant to the
secretary Of war, which will provide
them with further information on this
point. The chief opportunity is with
the Submarine Boat Corporation in
Newark, n. j., which offers from 46
to Sc cents per hour to men who are
learning the trade, at the same time
that it teaches them any of the fol-
lowing trades in it's school: Riveters,
holders-on, heaters, clippers and
caulkers, reamers and drillers, bolt
ers, regulators, painters, linemen,
shipftters, pipeftters, marine plumb
ers, pipe-coverers, pipe hangers, cree
ton machinists and electric welders
A man can become a proficient ship
worker within six weeks to two
months, depending upon the trade
and his personal application, when he
is put on production. He is taught
right on the job and is producing at
the same time that he is learning.
The records of this school show that
many graduates are earning SIS to
500 a week as riveters, and very sub
stantial wages in other related occu-
pations.
This is typical of the manner in which
large industrial concerns are respond
irg to the request of the war depart
ment for the training of unskilled
discharged service men who are am
bilious to become skilled workers but
must at the same tine be earning
enough to support themselves.

AN DIFFERENTIATION PROBLEM

Leaders of the Americanization
D0vement have reached the conclu
sion that the foreign language press
in the United States should be greatly
curtaiIed if not entirely abolished if
recent news dispatches from Wash
ingtOn are to be believed. It is to be
hoped that there is some truth in the
rumor and that it will at least lead
to an investigation of the foreign Ian
guage press of this country.
Despite arguments in it's favor the
foreign language press in the United
instances as a corrupting influence in
American politics. 1t has been sus-
taned by revenue largely derived
from politicians who have essayed to
control nOn-English speaking and read
ing groups of the population. In the
larger cities certain shreWd hyphen-
ated Americans have financially pros
pered because it has been believed
by campaign managers that they
could control and deliver the voters
in communities and settlements
where English is rarely spoken. The
usual approach for support of this
press has been through the solicita-
ton of advertisements with the IN
derstanding that editorial assistance
should supplement the paid space
buying.
The owners of many foreign Ian
guage newspapers have used their in
fUence to induce their fellows to re-
tain their native language and Gus
toms, have promoted their segregation
in spirit and done much to prevent
the Americanization Of their particu-
lar units. Thus they have become
the medium of control between the
various foreign speaking units and
the political parties and been enabled
to make most profitable bargains at
election time.
The war demonstrated our failure
at assimilation. At one military
camp it was necessary to translate
military laws into forty different Ian
