Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian
poet and writer, is no enemy to spir-
itualism. Declaring that he had IAN
open mind" he said he was giving
it much thought and thought well Of
it.
"In my lectures" he said, 81 viii

scientific proofs Of the existence Of
an immortal soul"
He gave as one proof the fact
that so years ago two German pro-
fessors discovered q find in the hu-
man body "which could be guarded
in q bottle after death and which did
not die" He also expressed the be-
lief that thought is sntecedent to the
brain and creates brain, drawing
from this the conclusion that thought
cannot die, even should the brain
perish.
SThe common belief that thought
is only q secretion of the brain is
false" said the philosopher, who
gave as still further reason for his
belief in an undying soul examples
to prove the endless existence of q
subconscious mind.
Mseterlinck has the greatest ad-
mirstion for Sir Oliver Lodge, who,
since the death of his son, has be-
come q stanch believer in spiritual

PARIS NO LONGER SUPREME.

One of the interesting and very

about by the war is the progress that
American designers in women's APP

in the years to come American and

change ideas, each contributing
about an equal share, and that day
is pretty well past with Paris as the

REGISTRATION LOOKS GLOOMY
FOR Democrats IN STATE
Republicans Register More Voters In
Kentucky than Democrats with
Several Republican StrOngholds
Missing.

Registration figures as are compiled
by the Democratic leaders themselves
in the city of Louisville look pretty
gloomy for the Democrats in the state
of Kentucky. With 54 of the cities in
the state reported and some of the Re-
publican strongholds of the state such
as Ashland, Olive Hill and others
missing, the Republican party has a
good lead.
The totals as announced by the
Democrats for "a cities in Kentucky
are Democrats, 1O2,72S; Republicans,
1OS,S92. These figures look all the
gloomier when they are compared
with the figures for 1916 when the
Democrats registered 56,243, and the
Republicans 42,0S6 in the same 81 cit
les. Last year, 1919, the registration
figures for these 54 cities were Demo-
Gratis 52,429; Republicans 43,O96.
If the figures throughout the state
from other cities now missing follow
the same general course as these,
which include all of the strong Demo-
cratic centers, there is no doubt but
that the Republican majority in the
state of Kentucky will be a healthy
one.
