ner. When faint STRINGS or movements In
the distance heralded their presence the girls
would beckon and show that the fairy folk
were welcome. If there was not too much
1ustlinS in the wood, they claimed they could
hear the faint, high notes Of their pipes.
TO the objections Of photographers that
the fairy figures show quito different shadows
to those of the human being, our answer Is
that psychoplasm, as tho etherlc protoplasm
has been named, has faint luminosity Of
its own which would largely modify the
Shadows" said Sir Arthur. "I studied the
pictures closely under double lens and found
that the pipes are the kind associated by the
ancicnts with fauns and naiads They have
An ornamental rim. A second general obser-
walton Is that the elves are q compound Of
the human and tho butterfly, while the gnome
Is moro Of moth. This may bo merely the
result Of under-exposure Of the negative and
dullness Of the weather. Perhaps the little
gnome IS really Of t e s'nae tribe, but repre-
sents tho elderly rnale, , the elves are
the young women.
"These little figures would seem to have an
objective reality as we have ourselves, even
IL their vibrations should provo that it takes
either psychic power or a sensitive plate to
record them. If they are conventional, It may
be that fairies have really been seen In every
generation and so some correct description
Of them has been retained.
"The thought Of these little folk who ap
pear to be our ncighbors will add charm to
every brook and valley and give romantic in
terest to every country walk. The recopn-
tion OF their existence will Jolt tho material
twentieth century mind out Of its heavy ruts
in the mud and will make it admit that
there Is 81 glamour and mystery to life Hav-
ing discovered this, the world will not find
it so difficult to accept that spiritual message
supported by physical facts which has already
been so convlncingly put before it."

When Sir Arthur heard Of the existence Of
the pictures he submitted the plates to vari-
GUS photographers, who wers loath to admit
that they wsre genuine, Ono photographer
refused to accept them on the ground that
one OF tbs elfn figures had an elaborate
Partisan colffure. Another said the back
ground was theatrical. Finally he sent Ed
ward L. Gardner, member Of the executive
committee Of the TheosophIcal Society, north
to investigate the circumstances surrounding
tho taking of the pictures. Mr.. Gardner re-
ported that he secured the plates and that one
was fairly clear, while tho other was under
exposed Neither showed any signs Of doubls
exposure. The work appeared to be perfectly
straightforward, he said. The plates were
enlarged and submitted 70 expert photogra-
piers. One claimed that he could produce the

ing painted models. He objected to the back
ground and the size Of the toadstools. Mr.
Gardner visited the den where che pictures
were taken and, according to his report found
the background to be exactly tha same as that
appearing in the prints The camera was the

taken on summer afternoons. Several photog-
raphers eventually indorsed them.

on the subject of fairies, he has ample back
ing in the pages of Celtic literature and in
the avowed beliefs Of living Irish mystics
Take Padraic Colum, for instance. He has
written extensively on the subject and be-
lieves that the fairy life Of every race is
different and is expressive of the spiritual

he believes, was attained in tho dryads and
nynlphs Of ancient Greece. The Irish fairies
are Of high type, tall and heroic in stature
because Of the spiritual qualities of the race.
The placid prettiness Of Sir Arthurs fairies
he ascribes to the gentle undulations Of Eng
land, the lack Of strife, the even tenor Of
life. All the Anglo-Saxon fairies are small,
he says, while the Celtic type is large and
heroic. Pursuing his trend of thought the
United States might be expected to have baby

When questioned specifically about the
fairies Of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mr.. Colum
said ho could see no reason to disbelieve the
authenticity Of such photographs. The bal
ance Of probability is In favor of fairy life,
he added.
IF one has any feeling for entities in
nature-in the open rivers and wide spaces
one knows that some sort Of creature life
is bound up with it, said the Irish mystic.
Il imagine there many grades in the
world outside our own as there are races
Of men.
"Ihe fairies, / imagine, are rather low
form Of life. They are elemental beings
you find that most people who know them do
not like them. They have no spiritual life,
but live the natural life Of the elements.
Every country has its elemental life.
That is why you get many different con-
ceptions Of fairies--the heroic, the puny, the
bencticient, the impsh, the sinister and the
gentle.
ON Ireland the fairies are called the
'Sdhe' or 'DeDanaan,' which means gods as
we'll as fairies. The legend is that they are
all fallen angels. They are spoken of as
the good people, and it is wise to say little
about them. 1t is remembered that some
times they take away children and brides.
They delight in music, and often they carry

President of Iron Works
Predicts Millions Will Be
Kept In Arizona

Millions of dollars which formerly
went outside the state will be spent
in Arizona this year. This prediction
was made by j. p. Hanson, presi-
dent of the Arizona Iron Works and
sales engineer for the Nordberg
Manufacturing company, and is based
upon investigation which he has
been making on a statewide tour.
After returning from the Ray and
Hayden district last Saturday, Mr.
Hanson was enthusiastic over the at
titude which is being taken by the
big mining and smelling heads on
the question of buying Arizona prod
ucts whenever possible.
In the days OF unusual prosperity
the mining concerns bought their
supplies in very large quantities,
often anticipating their needs by
making purchases for two or three
years in advance" he explained.
Arizona concerns were not in a posi-
tion to fill such enormous orders and
consequently most Of them were sent
to big wholesale supply firms on the
west coast and in the east. But con-
ditions now are reversed. Mines are
buying closer and in quantities that
give the Arizona concerns an oppor-
tunity to compete successfully with
those outside the state. OF course
there are mining machines and other
equipment that cannot be bought in
Arizona, but the big per cent of the
general business can be distributed
among the home industries"
Mr., Hanson paid high tribute to
the work being done by the Arizona
acknowledgements in promoting the
trade at home spirit. He credited this
organiza ton with awakening the
mining interests to the fact that the
more they developed industrial con-
Germs in Arizona through liberal
patronage, the more taxable property
would be increased. This condition,
of course, would have tendency to-
reduce all taxes.
Inquiries which the mining cona-
panies have directed to Mr.. Hanson
indicate, he said, that they are plan
ming on spending large amounts of
money in adding new equipment and
improvements.
But they will buy gradually" he
said. "They viii spend money as
they develop their properties
Going into a few specific cases to
bear out his opinion Mr.. Hanson told
how the narrow gauge railroad at
Superior was being standardized and
other important improvements being
made at cost Of more than three
million dollars; how the Sacaton Cop
per company, about 10 miles from
Florence, has been sinking several
holes and churn drilling TO prove up
mineral grounds. how vast sums are
being spent by the United Verde and
the United Verde Extension mines
in the jerome district. to install new
machinery and other equipment and
make improvements. He also ex-

Business Chat RssieT;*s sssi Ts,S

The coal strike already has in
creased the nations fuel bin. Orders
that normally go to unionized coal
fields now are shifted by brokers to
opens shop mines, especially West
Virginia. Readjustment OF supply
involves longer freight hauls to con-
sumers. Thus increased freight
charges have raised the average price
Of coal paid by consumers at destina
ton. though orders now can be placed
at mines at about the same average
mine price as before the strike.
The test of strength between strik-
ing coal miners and the mine opera
tors will not be noticeable before
April 20.
The market Is so glutted with coal
now--on lake docks, loaded in rail-
road cars and in consumers bins
that the strike will have to enter its
fourth week before mine production
becomes a dominating factor.
Operators in parts of Illinois and
elsewhere, claim the strikers in their
districts are weakening, ready to
compromise on wages. Mine labor
leaders deny this and claim open
shop miners are rapidly joining them.
Mine operators generally do not
want the strike to last less than two
months. 1t will take that much time
to start a depletion of coal reserves,
including partial emptying OF coal
docks at the head Of the Great Lakes.
The coal market Is stagnant now.
The goal OF the operators is to Gre
ate market by getting rid of the
surplus. Hence some operators well
come the strike as a check on over
| production.
The coal strike may last four
months or longer

Quotations on common stock OF 10

The rise is about a third due to
possibilities involved in impending

due to the stock market betting on
the steel industry having a fairly
good summer trade in store.
The Big Squeeze
Crude oil production continues at
a high rate, but the narke tprice of
crude is firm. Veteran oil men call
this a squeeze. Some think Standard

WELLESLEY HILLS. 81. Mass.
April 15.-"Are coal strikes, textile
strikes, mems clothing strikes, re-
sponsibie for the falling off in busi-
ness during the last few weeks?"
Answering this question and the
general question OF whether recent
Industrial unrest will postpone pros
perity by a full year, Roger w. Bah
son, statistician, outlines the situa-
tion as follows:
Business men should not get faint
hearted because of these strikes.
Strikes are not always an economic
loss If the country were today using
coal as fast as it could be mined and
the coal strike resulted in shutting
down factories, such a strike would
be an economic loss. Strikes, how
ever. which occur during periods OF
depression are usually not economic
losses. 1t is not an economic loss to
have this coal strike continue until
the great surplus stocks OF coal are
used up. II is not an economic loss
to have the textile strike continue
so long as the supply of n1anufac-
tured goods exceeds the demand. We
are simply using our surplus stock
and the unemployment is coming all
at once in punches instead of being
distributed over long period
"A strike today in most industries
is a good deal like damming a stream
of water. TIE water is not de-
stroyed, but it is simply being held
back. The water could be damned
for a month or three months, but
when the dam finally is opened the
water win flow down stream and do
its work. The situation in the basic
industries today might be compared
with that stream of water. The
strikes are having the effect of dam
ming up the flow of business. Of re-
tarding the flow of the stream. but
they are not destroying the markets.
Until these reserve piles OF coal, cot
ton and woolen goods. and mems
clothing are used up, there is little
economic loss.
"A factor that has retarded .busi-
ness this spring is the condition of
the weather. Reports from all sec
tions of the country show that the
weather the last few weeks has been
very unusual. To a certain extent

Industrial Congress
Meeting Brings Out
Encouraging Reports

A gradual but sure Improvement IS
becoming felt in business conditions
in Arizona. in the opinion of leading
men OF the state who were here last
Friday for a meeting of the board OF
directors OF the Arizona Industrial
Congress. While apparent in prac-
tically all parts of the state. the inn
provement is most noticeable in the
mining districts, following resun1p-
ton OF operations this spring.
Reopening of the two smeiters,
which are now employing about 1000
men, has had a very good effect on
general business conditions in Doug
las, James p. Boyle, attorney from
that city, said. Slight improvement
in marketing conditions also has had
d beneficial influence on the cattle
Industry of that part OF the state.
Resumption of ore production in
Bisbee had brought about renewed
confidence in that city, said G. II.
DowelI general manager of the Cop
per Queen branch of the Phelps
Dodge corporation. While employ
ment has not increased to any great
extent-the Copper Queen itself
merely transferring it's development
force to production work-there IS a
better spirit in the air which Is al
fecting business favorably.
In the Globe Miami district busi-
ness is definitely on the up grade,
said Dr. John E. Bacon of Miami.
This is due to the reopening or the
mines. which has started business on
the road to normal times and given
encouragement for the future.
Similar expressions were heard
from other members OF the board Of
directors of the congress. who agreed
that every Improvement noted in each
Industry is an indication that Arizona
IS forging ahead again.
