have a common state in civilization,
common interest in good Government,

"Myra's Fingers" is q strange title
for story, but it is one of the most
fascinating mystery tales ever writ
ten, replete with many vivid sur
prises, touching upon that mOmentOus
question, can the living communicate
with the dead?
Myra CampiOn and her mother, who
is believer in the occult, with Ar
thur BrOwnson, take part in a spirit
ualistic seance. Mrs. Campion has
been separated from her husband for
twenty years and believed him still
alive, but a message through the
medium at The seance reveals his re-
cent death. Later facts prove the
spirit message true and that Cam
piOn's life had been insured for
$4,000, a brother, Abner Campion,
being the chief beneficiary.
Ben CampiOn was found burned to
death in a shack on Long Island.
The insurance company refuses to
hquidate the policy on his life on
grounds of trickery. Continue the

League Chief
Describes Trip
Mrs. Maud Wood Park Pays
Brief Visit to City on
Way East.

Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president Of the
National League of Women Voters and
head of the legislative department, with
headquarters in Washington, d. c., spent
few hours, In the city today on her way
back to Washington, after having visited
leagues in New York, Savannah, Ga,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi
ana. In the two years which Mrs. Park
has been president, she has visited
leagues in all but seven States in the
Union. She Will visit those before the
annual conference, which will be held in
Baltimore, Md, this summer.
The Pan-American conference will be
held at Baltimore for three days begin
ming April 20, and preceding the annual
convention of the league. The delegates
to the Pan-American conference, who
will represent twenty Central and South
American countries and Mexico, will re-
main over for the convention. Invita-
lions have been sent, in Spanish, Portu
guese and English. to local organizations,
as well as official representatives Of those
countries.
SAYS MOVEMENT
HAS SUPPORT.
Mrs. Park said the two things which
impressed her most in her visit to
leagues was the cooperation which col
|
were giving, and the seriousness with
which the women all over the country
were taking up the local political con-
ditions in their towns.
Yale University last year devoted the
time of twenty professors and gave
rooms in the college to the teaching Of
700 women who registered for course
in civic work, she said. In Texas, at
the State convention she said the women
devoted one week to the actual study
of the State constitution under the di-
rection of the head of the department

Pearls Of Prince -
OF Wales Create
English Gossip

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The fact that
the Prince Of Wales is collecting
pearls for a necklace has furnished
another topic of absorbing interest in
the hearts Of those interested in the
royal matrimonial plans.
It will be remembered that Lord
Lascelles\ did exactly the same thing
before the announcement OF his en-
sagement TO Princess Mary. But
even with that precedent, it Is not
safe to assume that any exciting
news will follow the revelation of
the Princes interest in such matters,
for pearl collecting among the Eng
lish nobility is time honored occu-
patton.
Many priceless collections OK
nearls have been owned by English
men in the past, but very few OF
them are intact at the present time.
The Duchess Of Devonshire still
possesses the famous Devonshire
pearls which were collected fifty
years ago art cost said to have
peen $4,000 pounds.
The Duke of Buckingham, during
the reign Of Charles I, was able to
collect the most famous pearls Their
in England but at the time OF the
Commonwealth they were taken to
Paris and sold to various dealers
there.
Matching pearls in the present
Cay is hard task and, Of course,
it requires very long and we'll fill
ed purse. Even when money is no
object it requires much time anG IN
finite patience. All the markets Of
the world have to be searched, and
each pearl must be considered in re.
iation to all the others in order to
form q perfect necklace.

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-That
the fight against the boil weevil in
the cotton-producing states and
against insects that harass farmers
Of all sections has been made more
difficult because of the high duty
levied on paris green in the Fordney.
McCumber tariff bill, was charged
Saturday by the Democratic senate
rial campaign committee.
This duty! it is alleged, will put
money into the pockets of the Amer
lean copper trust" and take it away
from the agricultural producers.
FORMER Governor Gardner, of Mis-.
souri,, wrote Democratic headquar.
tiers asking about the duty on paris
green and it's effect. Frank A.
Hampton, secretary-treasurer of the
senatorial campaign committee. re-
plies to Governor Gardner through
Burt, new executive secretary to the
Democratic national committee. Ar
ralgn1ng the duty of Is per cent ad
valorem on paris green and London
purple, Secretary Hampton says, in
part:
Governor Gardner is quite right
in his assumption that this duty
will cost the cotton growers of the
United States a gigantic sum of
money. 1t is such a useless duty,
too.j Under the Underwood Sim.
mons tariff law, paris green was
on the free list and there was no
earthly excuse for the Republicans
to levy a tariff duty on it except
to enable their favored special in.
terests and especially the copper in.
terests to further profiteer on the
American people.
THAT the duty was unnecessary
is shown by the fact that in 1921
the entire imports into the United
States Of paris green from abroad
amounted to only 325 pounds, val
ued at 1923. The American con.
sumption Of paris. green is very
large and we produce in this coun.
try practically all that we use. OF
course, since the imports for the
past year amounted to only 1926
pounds there was no necessity for
protection. OF course this tariff
duty simply operates to permit the
copper interests and the producers
Of arsenic to raise the price on paris
green to the American cotton and
potato farmer.
"Paris green is a compound con.
tanning copper and, arsenic, and it
is now used principally as an in
secticide, being one of the main
weapons with which the cotton
farmers of the south now fight the
boil weevil.
1.-THE tariff of 81 cents per pound
levied upon this material will there
fore cost the farmers Of the south,
and of the other sections of the
country where this material is used
as an insecticide, at least 81 cents
per pound upon every pound that
is used. This additional money will
20 into the pockets of the copper
and arsenic interests Of the United
States that are favored by the Re-
publican party"
