4 Yarn of the Sea

Probability was the last thing which
William Allison had in mind when he
concoctcd the plot for "A Secret OF
the Sea-" 1t would be going too far
to say that the plot is impossible. for
anything is possible save. perhaps. ap
probation by the Senate Of the desire
Of the American people for the ratiti-
cation Of the peace treaty.
Mr.. Allison's story is the tale Of a
millionaire. his secretary and his daugh-
ter and what followed when they dis.
covered while yachting in the Mcditer.
anean another yacht acting qucerly.
Investigation revealed that there was
no one on board the second yacht and
that it had been apparently deserted
lunch. There was nothing on board
which indicated who the owner was or
where it had come from. But the mil.
liopaire discovers in a watch on n dress.
ing table in one of the staterooms a
picture of the woman whom he had
expected to marry. She had mysteri.
ously disappeared on the eve of the we'd Z.
ding day twenty five years earlier and
nothing had been heard of her since.
The story deals with the solution OF
the mystery Of the yacht and in its
| course explains the disappearance OF
the prospective bride. There is murder
| in it and abduction and n mysterious
veiled woman and ghost" and q
love storT. These Who do not mind the
improbability nf it will find the tale
most entertaining

STUCK
IN An ARCTIC WINTER
An Entertaining Description
of Home Life Among
the ESkimos

For n study Of Eskimo conditions
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, d. D., +.
r. G. s.. made the journey in the win
ter of 1917.1S. which he describes so
attractively in his "a Winter Circuit
of Our Arctic Coast" This unusual
time was chosen because only in the
winter are the people at home. the rest
of the year being spent mostly in fish
ing and hunting. The winter life is the
normal life. So from his graphic ac-
count we learn what is their present
state and what the government and
missions have done for them and what
should yet be done. And 1t is surpris-
ing to learn that, considering their ex-
tremely confined conditions. 'invincible
chcerfulncss is perhaps their most dis
tinctive trait With this statement
agrees the arctic traveller, Rasmussen,
who says of the Greenland Eskimos: ::
"Their domestic life flies past in a
succession of happy days. If you stop
to listen outside a hut you will always
hear cheerful talking and laughter from
within" Yet at the Alaskan village
of Point Hope ''all the winter through
they must take the dogs and go FIVE
miles for water. Round a provident
igloo you will see the fresh water ice
stacked up for future use like stove
wood"
There was in this place, one of the
most important on the coast. an unas-
sisted missionary. who was clergy
man. physician. school teacher. post
master and general vicegerent Of Prov
idence in local affairs, besides being
his own cook and housekeeper.' From
! the work Of such men there has come
"a change from a drunken, disorderly
and violent folk Of i'll repute all along
the coast to decent. well behaved,
quiet, industrious community.
Throughout his account Of his winter
! trip with dog sleds Of six months he
shows a remarkable knowledge of the
work Of the Arctic explorers from the
earliest times to the present. Over
them. he says. he used to pore as
boy" and they gave Inc my first in :
tellectual stimulus. His book. which
has many interesting reproductions OF
photographs. is dedicated I'm loving

critics, we think Mr.. Asouith. pointed
out. The Marquis. Of Salisbury has
written a preface to the book mainly
concerned with the excellent way In
which Sir George Arthur has carried
out his task of writing this official biog
raphy. There Is also an appreciative
chapter by Field Marshal Haig on
lord Kitchener and the New Army
and the Part it Played in the Great
War" Lord Haig says: Tho great
part played by the new army in fighting
down the enemy's resistance and IN the
final victory Is we'll known. Their
creation was a wonderful work and II

is that the man to whom the empire

It begins to look as IL every writing
person interested in spiritualism or
spiritism would write book about it.
The number Of volumes on the subject
coming from the presses since the war
has become so large that those whose
business it is to keep track of new books
have been compelled TO give up count
ing them.
Those readers with open minds will be
greatful to the publishers for reprinting
an old book on the subject. 1t is the
report Of the Scyberl commission ap-
pointed by the University of Pennsyl-
vania under the terms Of the will of the
late Henry Seybert to investigate "all
systems of morals, religion or philos-
ophy which assume 70 represent the
truth and particularly modern spiritual
ISM" The report was made in May,
1887 The commissioners, who were
some of the most distinguished Philadel-
phians of the time, including DIR.
Joseph Leidy, Horace Howard Furness,
DR.. s. Weir Mitchell and DIR. James
w. White, made careful investigation
into slate writing, naturalization,
spirit photography. and other forms of
spirit communication and concluded that
they had found nothing which justified
belief in the truth of the claims of
the spritualists. The report gives in de-
tail the result Of the investigations.
That part of it written by Mr.. Furness
is most entertaining reading. His son,
II. II. Furness, Jr.. who writes an
introduction to the new edition. says
that the good humored satire of his
fathers report was particularly irri-
tating to the spiritualists and brought
down upon him their severe condem-
nation.
A more friendly treatment Of the
subject. but one which admits that many
of the claims of the spiritualists rest
on insufficient evidence. IS Practical
Views on Psychic Phenomena. by
George f. Wright. an Englishman. He
discusses the nature Of the evidence
necessary to establish the truth and
then examines what evidence there is
of the existence Of such a thing as
telepathy. Then he derotes his atten.
tion to the general physical phenomena
Of spiritualism. This is followed by a
detailed description of naturalization
and spirit photography and the meth :
DDS of communication with the dead
and the evidence that there has been
such communication. AS to materiali L.
cation. he says that 'it is perhaps i'm
probable that we shall ever obtain salts.
factory cvidential records Of advanced
naturalization phenomena" and that
I'VE do not find any evidence Of spirit
photography which is supported by
satisfactory and decisive precautions.
As to the communications from the
dead. he remarks that although the
records may not provide direct evidence
they do undoubtedly and not improp
crly create n general atmosphere in
favor OF the possibility OF such com
municatons. Mr.. Wright is a friendly
and sympathetic student of the subjec
evidently seeking for the truth.

PAUL DORIAN PLEASED
OVER ESSEX GREAT
CROSS-C0UNTRY RUN

Paul Doran, distributor of the
| Hudson and Essex automobiles, IS
in receipt Of the following circular
letter from the Detroit Mich,
home office, relative to the Essex
record across the continent:
Essex now holds the coveted
ItranSCOntinental record. on August
. an Essex five passenger touring
car reached New York from San
Francisco, covering the distance Of
3,347 miles in just four days, four
teen hours and forty-three minutes,
beating the best previous record of
another car by twelve hours and
forty-eight minutes,
At the same time an Essex trav-
cling from New York to San Fran
cisco made the tranSCOntinental
run in four days, nineteen hours
and seventeen minutes, beating the
best time this way by over twenty
two hours.
Two other Essex cars also made
the run, one from San Francisco to
New York in four days, twenty-one
hours and fifty-siX minutes, and
the other from New York to san
Francisco in five days, six hours
and thirteen minutes. Both of these
cars, however, encountered heavy
rain storms and deep mud in the
west.
Aside from tha fact that this is
Albuquerque morning journal., 1920-08-22

a new record, it is also the first
time in history that an automo-
bile has been permitted to carry
mail across the continent. All cars
carried bags of first-class mail and
every driver was, in the eyes of the
government, postman properly
sworn in and under bond to the
government.
The cars were not driven. at any
point, by professional drivers. The
entire trip was supervised by Es-
sex distributors and dealers along
the route and they furnished driv-
ers from their own organization.
In all, probably twenty-five drivers
took the cars across the continent.
which is an even greater testimony
of the performance and reliability
of the car.
The second westbound car was
diverted from its route on the way
to San Francisco long enough to
establish new record from New
York to Chicago of twenty-four
hours fOrty-three minutes and
fifty seconds, beating the best pre-
vious record by over two hours.

Ienge; Duke City Team
Goes to Belen Today With
200 Fans For Game.

The flfeld team of Las Vegas is
after the Grays' angora. Manager
A. L. Katz telephoned last night
that his men had Challenged the
Padilla aggregation several days
ago to a game of ball and they
were already beginning to suspect
that the Albuquerque team was a
bit shakey.
Because the Grays won over
Santa Zee they think they have sec
ond place clnched but they have
not reckoned with the Ilfeld nine,
declared Mr.. Katz. His men are
willing to meet the Gray men on
a winner take all the gate receipts
basis, after expenses were paid.
Dan Padilla stated last night that
the Grays were willing to meet the
Meadow City team on a winner
take-all basis and that he would
put up a considerable sum on the
side. He would flip with the Vegas
team to determine where the game
would be played. Manager Katz
said his nine had q date here with
the Aq's September and they
would be only too glad to take on
the Grays Labor day, making a
clean sweep Of the Duke City
teams before returning to their
home haunts.
The Grays leave this morning.
for Belen with 200 fan followers,
making the journey by car or by
train. The game will be called for
2 o'clock in order that the fans
may catch the 5 O'clock train back
to Albuquerque. Sains or Teller
will open the game for the Grays.

MAYS MAY PITCH
IN CAME TODAY
AGAINST TIGERS

New York. Aug. 21.-Carl Mays,
pitcher for the New York Ameri-
cans probably will be in the game
against Detroit tomorrow. Mays
today made his first appearance on
the field since the accident, which
resulted in the death of Ray Chap
man, Cleveland shortstop. He
warmed up near the right field
bleachers, but after the game with
Detroit started he went to the club
house.
Ty Cobb of Detroit, who was
quoted in Boston as saying some
drastic action should be taken
against Mays because of the Chap
man accident, was today made a
target for abuse by New York fans.
When Cobb appeared for prelimi-
nary practice. he was met with a
storm of Kisses. These were re-
peated each time he went to bat.
While no definite purpose is
stated in the call for the special
meeting OF the American league
Tuesday at Philadelphia, it is, be-
lieved the Chapman accident will
be considered.

That the Albuquerque Business
| College Is filling well its purpose in
| supplying competent business help
! to the best business firms, to pro

| institutions requiring especially
well trained business help is best
attested to by the large number of
calls received for those who have
been trained in that institution.
During the first twenty one
days of August, forty-three calls for
A. B. c. graduates have been re
ceived by the school, in addition TO
one call from a New York concern
for twenty young men for business
employment in Latin American
countries. The orty-three calls
came from all sections of the

but other cities represented are
Phoenix, Tucson, Casa Grande Hol-
brook, Winslow, Arizona; Gallup,

Wis, Ration. New Mexico; Amarillo
and FL Paso. Texas; Beatrice, Neb.
The school filled about half the
positions offered from among its
recent graduates or those who have
been out of school for some time
and desired to make a change. The
A. b. G. management never loses
sight of its former students. Just
recently young man who attend
