of his chums--and appeared to act
strangely" She lifted her arms upward,
as IL she would embrace the stars, and her
lips tremblingly repeated words she seemed
to hear-words her boy companion heard
only as they drifted from her lips:
"a man-hurt-an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

message--to the hospital-quick.'
There were other words--the uncanni-
ness of them and the situation in which he
found himself unnerved the boy. He
grasped Eugene by her arm and shook
her--suddenly she collapsed When she
revived her first words were, Did they
send to the hospital for the doctors"
Then, her full consciousness returned
she begged her companion to drive quickly
into town-to the beginning of one OF the
avenues where the street car line came to
an end. Drive fast" she cried, there has
been an accident--a man may be dying"
The boy, awed, drove fast, following the
girls directions. When they reached the
avenue Eugene had described they saw
two shattered automobiles at the. intersec-
tion Of street. One driver had been care
less and had turned at too high speed.
The other had crashed into him. There

Never Saw Such Seance,
With Girl Talking Naturally
In the magic house" at Omaha Abbott
received another surprise. He arranged
"seance" for Eugene, and he watched to
see what sort of trance she would go into.
He had seen all sorts Of frances. But this
girl didn't go into trance at all. She
simply sat apparently in intense concentra-
tion and talked as if she were telling an
uncomplicated narrative; and Abbott mar

Eugene is receiving much curious at
tention and her case is to be carried into
a further investigation. She is to be OBJ

deliberately equipped laboratories OF the
American Society for Psychical Research,
in charge of DR.. Hereward Darlington.
Indeed, in many ways the schoolgirl of
Kansas does present unique material for
study--material which has at least aroused
wide curiosity. Miss Dennis began to
startle her immediate friends year ago.
II is told of her, with considerable amuse-
ment, that it was young sutton who first
spread the rumor that Eugene could talk
to spirits" He told 1t of himself that he
was taking her for a motor ride when he
proposed that they park the car in a
shaded spot at the edge Of town where he
might steal kiss.
1t has been pointed out that Eugenie
confesses that she is not averse to boys
indeed. she is inclined to proclaim her

the proof
David Abbott of 1915 Center
street, Omaha, is one who has
given a great deal of attention xT
to Eugene Dennis. Mr.. Abbott WsN
is master in legerdemain. His
life work is the devising of ap- q
parently impossible phenomena !
for the use of stage magicians
He is magicians' magician, and
there are few tricks which ve.ge
on the supernatural or the IN
canny which he is not familiar with. II
has been his boast that he could do any
stunt" any of the so called spirit mediums
could do. And he has demonstrated that
he can explain In simple English words the
most mysterious OF the spiritual" mani
festations of trance mediums"
1t has been said that half of the tricks in
use by magicians the world over were in
vented by Abbott. He himself is not of the
stage. But his home in Omaha is equipped
with contrivances of all sorts by means Of
which he reproduces psychical tricks to
prove that they are not psychical at all.
One of his great exhibitions is to decapi-
tate himself He will be standing openly
in his drawing room, surrounded by specta-
tors, then he will take sword and draw
1t across his neck. Abbott from the shout
ders down will step aside and Abbotts
head, with an affable smile on its face, will
be resting comfortably upon table. That,
of course, is legerdemain.
Abbott was commissioned by the Amer
lean Society for Psychical Research of New
York to investigate the power" of the
Atchison schoolgirl. So he took her into
his home, where she stayed under constant
scrutiny for several weeks. Her investi-
gator is man who is up to all the tricks

who were promulgating claims to prophetic

relatives OF soldiers slain in the recent war
to see and talk again with their loved ones.
Hence he undertook to prove that seven
teen.year.old Eugene Dennis Of Atchison
was under some sort of misapprehension
But the first day he had her under observa-
tion and began to talk to her he vaguely
sensed that Eugene was not like the or

book was under consideration.
As a graceful acknowledgement
to the encouragement given the
author by her pastor in putting
the result of her Investigations in
to permanent form, the book is
dedicated to PauI Dwight Moody,
now president of Middlebury Col

The book of nearly 300 pages is

one of the few attempts, and
most successful one, to present to
students Of Bible history an il
Eliminating account of the events
that are hardly touched upon N
the Bible but had such an import
ant bearing on the preservation of
the Jewish race and religion. At
ter a brief historical survey the.
author divides the story Of the
four centuries into three periods,
the Persian, the Greek and the
Roman. The latter half OF the
book is an Illuminating Present
tation of the developments of the
era, closing with a vivid descrip-
ton of one of the greatest TRACE
dies in all history, the siege of
Jerusalem by Titus. Though this
marked the end of Jewish national
life the author closes a most
valuable contribution to religious

EDITORIAL
WOMEN'S COLLEGES

4 New York business man being
recently asked to subscribe 10 a
woman's college endowment fund
let out some Of his pent up indig-
nation in reply TO the solicitor. He
is much down on certain tenden-
cies of modern young women. II
he had his way he would have the
college girls taken out and put al
manual labor.
He also remarked that the edu-
cation the young women OF the
period need is to leave off smoking
cigarettes, stop using slang, give
up their bold and brazen manner,
their paint, powder, lipsticks and
llqh heeled shoes, and stop dress
ing indecently.
The young women Of the period
have plenty of faults just as the
young men have. But most people
feel that the faculties OF these in
situations are made up of the finest
types of womanhood, cultured, IN
tclligent ladies, contac with whom
must have a gracious influence
over every girl who enters those
institutions. Many an i'll bred girl
comes into this environment with
some of these faults which Shis
business man notes. She sees for
the first time how Winsome a refin-
ed woman can become. Gradually
the coarser side Of her nature Is
srloothed down and she develops
qualities of courtesy and charm.
Some girls come out of college
with much philosophy and litera-
ture in their heads hut not much
conception of practical living.
Probably in time the colleges will
give more emphasis to the pressing
problems Of omdern life. Some
girls go to college who would do
better to take business courses.
But whatever defects may exist
in these colleges, they turn out a
body of women who have an intel
lipent grasp of public questions
ard who Nave high aims. If some
of them have the faults of which
this critic complained, it is at least
true tht college experience tends TO
discourage unwomanly tendencies.

Vermont Football
Season Success

ermont's football season, Just
closed was far from being a failure
in any sense. The Green and Gold
team succeeded in winning six
games out of the nine played.
Every game lost was by a close
score and the opponents never had
an easy time in taking a victory
from the Nermonters. Detroit only
won by four points, Holy Cross by
SIN and Springfield by seven. Five
of Vermont's victories were made
without allowing the opposing
team to score. In the game with
New Hampshire State, Vermont
piled up SO points, against Norwich
81 points and against Middlebury
80 points.
The record of the team for the
1922 season is as follows:
Vermont
