 It will be of interest to study the result of Mrs. Beardsleys candidacy on tho Dem mccretic ticket. If her sex supports her she can ride into office on a crest of a high wave of popu- larity. As she was one of the most ardent workers in New Britain for woman suffrage it is generally be-. lieved that she will win recognition from her multitude of sisters.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Ques-
tion-Where is the spirit world?
Answer-All about the universe
there are spaces which are filled
with spirits.
Question.-Spirit, what are the
dwellers on other planets like?
Answer.-All are like you in
form.
Question.-If we learn to write
automatically, can we get in
touch with the people we love who
are with you?
Answer.-Those you love X
will always be near you when you
need.
Question.-Do people suffer when
they are killed?
Answer.-Death is never painful.
A little book of a scant 120 pages
entitled "To Walk With God" and
containing many statements like
those quoted above, has created the
biggest sensation Washington has
known for years. 1t is another pur-
ported spirit communication by way
of the ouija board or Planchette and
is publicly acknowledged as having
been so obtained by two of the
most important women in social and
government circles in this country.
The co-authors are Mrs. Franklin
K. Lane, wife of the former secre-
tary of the interior, and Mrs. Har-
riet Blaine Beale, daughter of
James G. Blaine. There is no ques-
tioning the integrity or sincerity of
these two women.
Ouija Board Party.
The whole affair started when
Mrs. Lanes daughter, Nancy
whose marriage on April goth to
John c. Kaufman was one of the
most brilliant social events of many
a Washington season-gave ouija
board party to a group of sub-deb
friends. This party occurred more
than year ago and was youthful
ly hilarious occasion, for the new
Mrs. Kaufman only just recently
has passed her eighteenth birth
day.
1t was at this party that the ouija
board begged Mrs. Lane to write
Book" and directed that Mrs.
Beale be sent for.
Mrs. Lane considered it a great
joke" said Mrs. Beale, when inter
viewed in her Washington home,
"but she telephoned me to come to
tea the next day and told me all
about it. We tried the ouija and
the communication we received was
of 50 serious a nature that we de-
cided to continue"
High Moral Tone.
The result is the recently publish
ed book. The messages came in the
form of lessons, and are of high eth
ical and moral tone. Service" is the
keynote of their teachings, and while
the book contains no particularly new
thought the simplicity and dignity of
the ouija's language places the mes
sage received by Mrs. Lane and Mrs.
Beale beyond the ordinary freak

MOSQUITO IS

Little Insect Takes Huge Toll
From Country

Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all of the wars since
the beginning Of time.
Their bite is often as deadly as

By every method known to man
kind both national and local health
services are trying to exterminate
them, but this will never be. We must
protect ourselves against this pest.
By proper screening and by a daily

be kept free of all mosquitoes. TOR

no dangerous insect can live. 1t is
death to insects but harmless to
