POTATO BUGS DRIVEN 4WEsTv
Washington City Official Tells How
In Some Sections the Pests Are
Il Moved Along.

City Postmaster Chance has
risked placing himself in the ranks
Of the nature takers, with his latest
potato-bug story.
While on his farm in southern
Illinois this summer, Farmer
Chance found the potatoes bothered
with the pesky bugs.
There were colonies of potato
bugs on every plant. They infested
the rows, swarmed up and down the
plants, cavorted over the fields and
generally monopolized the land
scape.
At least, that is the way the stu
alton appealed to the postmaster on
vacation. So he went out to deal
with the situation. He found an
old neighbor standing in a field.
''What does a fellow do about po-
tato bugs?" he asked him.
''Well, neighbor," replied the old
farmer, "jes' take a piece Of brush
and thrash through the rows, and
the tatie bugs will all go west"
Now this is the way Postmaster
Chance continues the narrative:
$50 | got me a piece of brush,
and began tanning my way down
the rows. And, sure enough, the
potato bugs began to run. They
just went in droves, every last one
Of them, down to the rows to the
west. No, they never came back,
either" Washington Star.

A newspaper dispatch says that
the Harvard Glee club, which has
been touring Europe, received an
especially enthusiastic welcome in
Geneva because the patrsrs Of that
city had apparently Secn in doubt
as to what the word "glee" meant,
and on looking it up ID an English
dictionary found the definition
"gayety, merriment, delight.
They therefore assumed that the

At last friend Of Mr.. Power dissipated the
haze. The actors second marriage was proclaimed
to be not in the slightest lapse of devotion, butt
in fact, literal obeyance of the wishes of the first
wife, conveyed by spirit messages. From that
mysterious and undiscovered realm, it
serted, Mr.. Power had been assured that Edith
Crane was taking just much interest in his
welfare and happiness as she had when she was
at his side in the flesh. 1t the wish of Edith
Crane that he cease his mourning, that he put
aside his sorrow and that he seek for the comforts
and joys of material existence along the lines she
indicated.
So zealously had the departed wife considered
the needs and pleasures of the she had left
behind that, it was said, she had gone so far as
to point out pathway to the door of the woman
she believed best fitted to take her place. There
was one close at hand, said the ghostly messages,
who IN grace of mind and physical charm was
amply equipped to become an ideal mate. Certain,
and with indubitable intent, the unseen finger di-
rected toward the beautiful Miss Rayome, men,
Der of the actors colony near Los Angeles,
woman who had been intimate friend of Edith
Crane for several years before her death.
The story runs that Mr.. Power was not re-
sponsiye to the ETHEREAL behest as he might have
been, and that it was not until the messages were
repeated each night for a week that he finally
decided to begin at the wooing as outlined.
The spirit-wife had made it plain that the counsel
was given after proper reflection and that it
tanned no trace of sacrifice, but rather that such
a marriage as was suggested would conduce to
further bliss and completeness Of the dweller In
the country beyond

pany and, when there part for Mrs. Power
in the play, she was content to travel with her
husband though it entailed idleness when other
managers would have been glad to engage her.
To be as devoted as the Powers" was proverb
in the theatre.
The day Edith Crane died, so close friends
say, Tyrone Power became different man. For
a year after her death he did not act. 1t was re-
ported that he had retired from his profession,
although this was difficult of belief to those VINO
knew him well. They felt that as soon as his
deep grief had passed through the first shock OF
bereavement he would return to his calling; for
Mr.. Power was known a sincere artist, who
took his career most seriously.
Then as the months went by, there were evil
dences that his interest in the stage was really
waning. Stories were waited from out the West
to folk of the player world in the East that Mr..
Power had joined a theosophist colony in South
ern California; that he had given himself over
to occult study In letters to friends in the East
he spoke several times of his researches into
spiritis but at this time he did not mention that
he had been impelled to this study by desire to
be in communication with the woman whose COM
partnership had been great part of his own
existence.

Edith Crane, First Wife of Tyrone Power,
Who Played the Role of the
Hypnotized ''Trilby."
By Frank Dallam

n n HEN the musical yet unlovely soul OF
NN Svengali went out Trilby o'Ferrell was
released from slavery. She looked around
and recognized no one If you have read the Du
Maurier story, which to be still as popular
MS it was 80 years ago when it first charmed all
readers of English fiction, you will recall the
scene Of thrills.
Trilby. who under the hypnotic spell of the
uncanny German Polish musician, had come to be
a great prima donna, could not sing note. for
the Svengali into whose face she stared was a
dead man. When the vast audience which had
eathered to hear her golden voice booed her ride
ulous attempts at song she did not understand
what it was about. All she knew was that she
was herself again, thinking the old thoughts just
as she had done before she fell under the baneful
will of another.
OF the several actresses in the United States
who PLAYED the Du Maurier heroine in the stage
version of the novel the favorite undoubtedly
Edith Crane. She was not the original Trilby-
that is she was not the to play the role first
but she was the immediate successor of the
tress who created" the character, stage folk
express it.
When she who had played Trilby so many
nights passed from earth, her fitting spirit did
not release its hold on the man it had held in
willing bondage i'll life If the strange story just
come to light through divorce court channels is to
be believed the spirit of the stages best known
Trilby is more active now than ever, though it
has been with the departed for some years.
In personal appearance she closely correspond
ed with the portrait drawn by the author, who
was artist as we'll writer Tall, of slender
figure, regular, features, withal rare type
of softened blonde beauty, she visualzed delight
fully the tender-hearted Irish girl who loved
by everyone who saw the play OF had read the
book. Moreover, nature had given her just the
meowed contralto speaking voice described by
the author in his book-hint of the possibilities in
song.
Edith Crane married Tyrone Power, hand
some actor of much dramatic talent Theirs was
a wedding notable in the theatrical world From
the day Of the marriage ceremony they were
never separated. They appeared in the same co.,

ouainted with this somewhat eere influence upon
her future is not known. Whether Mr.. Power
informed her of his supernatural guide to her-
self as the sole instrument for his happiness IN
the years to come, or whether he left her to IN
fer that the ages-old theory of the lodestone and
magnetic pole was being applied again by Cupid,
may only be conjectured. At any rate they were
married For nearly eight years they lived on
the Pacific coast, separated only when business
caused Mr. Power to take eastern trips Two
children were born, Tyrone, Jr., now years OLD
and Anne who is A.
Suddenly the professional associates and the
many friends of the family in other lines OF en-
deavor learned that there friction IN the
spacious Power bungalow. Before the fact OF
separation could be verified came public an
nouncenent that decree of divorce had been
granted to Mrs. Power in San Diego. 1T was
not all invisible divorce" said Mrs. Power to one
of her close friends when the news had Travelled,
'but it was an inaudible and painless one. There
was no echo of publicity until now"

A SVENGALI of the SPIRIT WORLD

F~DTTH CRANE, FIRST wife of Tyrone Power, app
L peared as tTrilby," the hypnotized victim OF
Wizard Svengali in the dramatized presentation OF
Du Maurier's famous novel and scored triumph.
In the play Svengas death released Trilby from the
spell under which he had forced her to obey his Will
striking dssimilarity is presented in the re-
n,arkabIe case of Edith Cranes private hfe On the
stage she played the part of the helpless subject
completely under Svengalis hypnotic control. The
home life of Mr.. and Mrs. Tyrone Power was so
ideal that after the death of Mrs. Power, it is now
claimed, clairvoyant medium of intercommunica-
ton was found whereby Tyrone Power was able to
receive messages from the spirit of the wife who
had crossed the borderlne which separates those who
still wait from those who have answered the call.
And these messages utterly unlike those which
might have been expected from the timorous Triby"
of the stage masterful and allcompelling as
though the spirit OF Svengali had dictated them.

Ghostly Mate Became Neglected"

The reference to the invisible" divorce
prompts the assumption that not only had Mrs.
Power been placed in possession of the facts
which are declared to have led to her marriage,
but that she also had heard of the startling ex-
planation which some Of Mr.. Powers friends
were offering for the abrupt termination of the
romance. This solution of it affects directly the
suirit-wife, the inspiration of the second mar
riage.
Mrs. Power obtained her decree on the grounds
of desertion and non-support- This is pointed to
