A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

What would we think of hen that
laid an egg as stale as the one given us
sometimes in a purchase from store or
cafe? What would we think of a COW
that gave us blue milk? Or whose cream
when churned made the kind of butter
we are served with at some hotels and
cafes?
Are the hens and cows manifeSting
more honesty and intelligence than hu-
man beings?

Who can find u virtuous woman?

The heart of her husband doth safe

no need Of spoil,
She will do him good and not evil

She is like the merchants ships;
she bringeth her food from afar.
She riseth also while II is yet night,

She considereth a field. and buyeth
It: with the fruit Of her hands she
planteth n vineyard.

She percelveth that her merchan-

When necessary the "tornup track"

work by a section gang; and to throw
clear the derail on the main track it
would take but minute to unlock

forth the enthusiasm in Italy that her
statesmen had looked for.
There Is much bitter comment on
Britain's procedure in the East and
the dominant role she is playing in
the settlement OF the Turkish prob

Leading Italian newspapers are re-
printing in full the recent dispatch OF
Karl II. Won Wiegand, giving what
purports to be the text of a secret
Anglo-Turkish agreement. said to
have been signed in 1919.
This alleged pact is cited here As
proof of what is called British i'm
perialism" and "Albion's selfish grab
bing game in the East"
Won Wiegand's dispatch mentioned
above contained the alleged terms of
a secret agreement" between Turkey
and Britain, giving Britain control of
the Dardanelles and domination of
Mesopotamia and Syria, in return for
which Britain was said to have pledged
to keep the Turks in Europe, with
Constantinople remaining their cap
itsl ard the seat OF the head of the
Moslem faith.
Both the London and Paris foreign
offices have denied the existence of
this pact.

DC. Women Get Data
For Spirit World Book
By Automatic Writing

Under the title: "To walk With
God" Anne w. Lane MRS. Franklin
h. Lane, wife of the former Secretary
OF the Interior). and Harriet Blaine
Beale, daughter of the late James G..
Blaine, have recorded a remarkable
experience in automatic writing. 1t
is q series of psychic messages from
a spirit that has never been on earth.
and published and copyrighted by
Dodd Mead e. Co, as one of their
Deeper Issues" series, dealing large
ly with the subject onlife after death.
1t comes in almosT\h \huakerish garb
brown broad covers with green
cloth back, the title and the names
Lane -Beale"-in the simplest type.
And within, its message is equally
simple, equally unobstrusive, equally
direct. Nothing could pc more un-
sensational. One cannot-read 1t with
out being impressed with its dignity
and reverent sincerity. II there be
those who pick it up in spirit OF
flippancy, they will not have finished
the introduction in which is set forth
how it came to be written, without
leaving that behind. Having come to
scoff they will probably remain to
pray.
That introduction" is not the
least interesting part of the little
volume. 1t tells how, even to the
title, it is the record of first eX-
perience in automatic writing, when
Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Beale were en-
crossed in war relief work, and Mrs.
Lane was directing the convalescent
home established by the Interior De-
partment's relief organization as an
adjunct to Walter Reed Hospital.

1t was only after weeks OF effort
with planchette. a small heart-shaped
article made OF wood, with two legs
on wheels at the back. and pencil
making the third leg in front. that
they were able to get coherent mes
sages. They explain that they used
the planchette because it seemed less
liable to unconscious muscular actlon
than a pencil held in the hand, and
at first we obtained only circles,
words, fragments of sentences. with
irrelevant messages cutting into what
we hoped vainly would become con-
nected phrase. We were extremely in
tcrested but bewildered and baffled at
every turn. It was more like opening
a window to crowded street and
listening to the chance words one
could catch. than like anything else
in the world
Finally, 'on the eleventh uaE came
decided change. From the moment
we began the writing was firmer and
more impelling, and we were told al
once that whoever was using our
hands had come to stay with us. We
had in technical phraseology found
our control though we were both toe
inexperienced to recognize it."
Naturally one assumes that Mrs
Beale was moved to these expert
ments. perhaps, primarily by the
yearning for some word from heI
| beloved son, killed in action. II sc
she would appear to have been disap
