own own children as having seen a single
httie figure twice in the garden and
once in the nursery. His book, at it's
best, is compilation of the expert
ences OF people who claim to have seen
various forms of fairy life.
He quotes the theosophic view Of
fairies, which is that their bodies are
Of density lighter than gaseous va
por. In their own way they are as
real as we are and perform functions
IN connection with plant life of an i'm
portant character. They are not born
and do not die as we do. They have
little or no mentality-simply q glad
some, irresponsible joyousness. Their
bodies are not clean-cut like ours, but
are small, hazy and like luminous
clouds of color with brighter, spark
like nucleus. Their wings resemble
the limbs Of animals, but there Is no
articulation and no venation. They
are known as" Streaming emanations."
Their nourishment is absorbed by a
rhythmic breathing or pulse. The per-
tune OF flowers is their delight.
They have no real birth nor death,
simply gradual emergence and a re-
turn to a subtler state of being. They
have no sex, other than process
which corresponds to the fission and
budding of our familiar simple animal
cules, with the addition, toward the end
of the cycle. Of fusion or reassembiy
into a larger unit. They have no Ian
guage of words, but communicate by
infiexion and gesture, like domestic
animals.
Having thus given the general theory
OF the place in creation of such
creatures as defined by theosophy, the
only system of thought which has
found room for them, Sir Arthur SAYS:
Il do not myself contend that the
proof is as overwhelming as in the case
of spiritualistic phenom ena. The
series of incidents here set forth rep
resent either the most elaborate and
ingenious hoax ever played upon the
public or else they constitute an event

Later Elsie sees tall and stately
falry coming across the field to a
clump, of harebells. In its arms is
something which may be fairy baby,
wrapped in gauzy substance. Other i'm
pressions are of r-footed creatures

are thin and bend over their mounts
like jockeys, and, lastly, "seven wee
talrles quite near-weird little figures
lying face downward" Frances sees
fairies as large as herself, the clair
yoyant says, and fairies clothed in iri-
descent shimmering, golden light.
The Voice of the Skeptic
Sir Arthur does not, spare himself.
he freely quotes the criticism to which
pictures first appeared. For instance,
Maurice Hewlett wrote Of him:
Knowing children, and knowing that
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has legs,
decide that the Misses Carpenter have
pulled one Of them. Meantime l sug-
gests to him that epochs are born, not
made"
Major Hall-Edwards, the famous au-
tthority on radium, writing in "The
birmingham Weekly Post" said: "On

saying that these photographs could
have been faxed l criticize the atti-
tude Of those who declared there is
something supernatural in the circum-
stances attending the taking of these
pictures because, as medical man,
believe that the incubation of such alb
surd ideas into the minds of children
will result in later life in manifesto
tion of nervous disorder and mental
disturbances"
Sir Arthur claims that If the conf
dence of children could be gained and
they were led to speak freely sur

ing seen fairies. Here he quotes his

BY Ishbel Ross

In "The Coming of the Fairies" Just
euhlished by the George H. Dorar
Company, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
makes serious presentation OF his
ease In favor Of the existence OF
fairies. Not with the whimsicality OF
Barrie pleading for his fantastic brain
children, nor with the mystic shading
that George Russell applies to his fairy
folk. but with humorless, analytical
touch Sir Arthur probes the subje
exposes its weaknesses, argues in its
favor and leaves his readers to draw
their own conclusions.
The book is the result of long in
vestigatlon by Sir Arthur and E. L.
Gardner, a prominent member of the
executive committee of the Theosoph-
;cal Society in England. into the case of
the ccttingIey Fairies. It is illustrated
With nictures of the diaphonous little
heings that the Carpenter girls are sup
posed to have photographed. Two Of
these pictures were published in The
Tribune when Sir Arthur was in New
York last spring.
Although certain that strong prima
facie cases has been built up for them.
Sir Arthur hesitates to say that there
is no conceivable loophoie left for
error. He quotes at length the findings
Of Mr.. Gardner, who investigated the
girls story and went over the ground
where the pictures were taken. He
cites the expert opinions of camera
men, He goes exhaustively, if with
out much purpose, into the statements
Of other people who claim to have seen
fairies He even goes so far as to say
that his children have seen little Great
ures that they took to be fairies.
Expects Cry of ''Fake"
Summing up, he says:
SHOULD the incidents here narrated
and the photographs attached, hold
their own against the criticism which
they will excite, it is no exaggeration
to say that they will mark an epoch
In human thought. I put them and all
the evidence before the public for ex-
animation and judgment. If I am my
self asked whether I consider the case,
to be absolutely and finally proved,
should answer that in order to re-
move the last faint shadow of doubt
Ishould wish to see the result repeated
before disinterested witness. At the
same time l recognize the difficulty of
such request, since rare results must
be obtained whens and how they can.
But short of absolute proof, / con-
sider, after carefully going into every
possible source of error, that strong
prima-facie case has been built up.
"The cry of fake is sure to be
raised and will make some impression
upon those who have not had the op-
portunity of knowing the people con-
eerned, or the place. On the photo
graphic side every objection has been
considered and adequately met The
actures stand or fall together. Both
are false, or both are true. All the
circumstances point to the latter al
tentative, and yet, in matter involv-
ing so tremendous a new departure,

seem to have an objective realty. AS we
nave ourselves, even If their yibra-
.ions. should prove to be such that
IL takes either psychic power or a
sensitive plate to record them.
II they are conventional it may be
that fairies have really been seen in

description of them has been retained"
all this are obvious. The experiences
OF children will be taken more seri-
ously. Other well-authenticated cases
will come along. These little folk
who appear to be our neighbors, with
only some small difference of vibra-
tion to separate US, will become famil-
lar. The thought of them, even when
unseen, will add a charm to every
brook and valley and give romantic in
terest to every country walk. The
recognition of their existence will Jolt
the material twentieth century mind
out Of it's heavy ruts in the mud and
will make it admit that there is a
glamour and mystery to life"
The fairy pictures never published
until this book came out are the Fly
ing Fairy, the fairy offering posy of
harebells to Elsie and the fairies hav
Ing their sun bath in bower. Mr..
Gardner sees these fairies not as fash
ionably-coiffed French dolls but as
"super-Pavlovas in miniature"

The fairy offering a flower to Iris is
a model of gentle and dignifed pose,
he says, but the third picture of the
falry's bower finds him gasping out
excited superlatives. All the fairies
are supposed to be exquisite in color

faint quivering Of their pipes were
distinctly heard by the little girls on
a calm day, according to the story told
by Elsie and Frances. A clairvoyant
who visited the woods with the little
girls submitted report from which

Two Types Of Counterpoise De-

II has been stated IN previous ar.
tlcles that an antenna system consists
OF a so-called aerial and a ground. In
certain forms the ground Is also known
as n counterpolse.
Sometimes counterpolse Is made
up in form similar to the aerial and
Is suspended beneath II. To certain
extent this Is true OF the counterpolse

of all the metal parts Of the plane
When the earth Is dry or rocky, and
consequently poor conductor OF elcc-
tricity, countcrpolse consisting OF n
network of wires Is laid on the ground
and directly underneath the horizontal
part OF the antenna. If II is desired to
install this form Of counterpoise the
metallic surface of the counterpoise
must be nj least equal to that of an
tenna and for efficient operation,
should even be greater than the an
tennn surface. Also the resistance Of
the counterpolse should be made as
low ns possible In order TO eliminate
the losses that otherwise would take
place In It. A counterpoise of the form
described Is Illustrated In Figure IL.

MATERIAL HINTS
IN BUYING AUTO
Ten important Points Should Be
Given Full Consideration Be-
fore Making Purchase.
ECONOMY IS MOST ESSENTIAL
Power 10 Go Anywhere at Any Time
10 Desirable as Well as Safety
and Convenience - Comfort
Must Not Be Overlooked.

A most important investment is the
purchase OF motorcar. If the pros
pectlve buyer Is TO get the most out of
his investment II is necessary that he
be grounded in the essentials of motor
car knowledge beforehand.
Ten Big Points.
There are ten important points that
the purchaser should consider care
fully before making his selection. They
are U economy, t2) power and flexI-
blllty. (3) durability, az comfort, (5)
safety, (6) convenience, 90 easy rid
ing, (0) beauty. G0) style.
II would be n safe plan II these
points were studied in the order
named.
Economy heads the list because II
Is the important question of the times.
Buy car having an economical rec
ord, one which will give you a maxi
mum amount Of mileage for each gal
Ion Of gas. This is governed by the
type of motor, the bearings, lubrica-
tion and weight.
Power is the next important essen
tlal to be considered. You do not want
to be bounded by any limitations In
this respect You desire to be able to
go anywhere and at any time, and for
this reason you want power In your
automobile.
An asset which we all seek In buy
Ing a motorcar is durability. When
one considers the amount involved in
the investment this Is very important.
This feature OF car depends upon the
character of Its maker; his honesty,
his wholesome ideals, his standards,
his long experience and his successes
in the automotlve industry. His car
Is usually as durable as his record.
Mako Motoring Enjoyable.
Convenience and comfort must not
be passed by lightly. Purchase a car
which affords those little convenlences
which make motoring really enjoyable
and free from care.
Follow these rules Of selection and
the car you eventually purchase will
be Just a real good one for your pur-
pose.

experiment II has been found that the
received energy is the same for a
single wire ms for a multl-wire anten-
ma, unless the spacing between the
wires Is very great. The greatest ad-
vantage of a slngle-wlre antenna is
mechanical. II is much simpler to
erect, due to the absence OF spreaders,
and It will withstand severe storms
which would tear down a multl-wlre
antenna with the same supports.
Not all the energy Induced In a re-
celvlng antenna by the wave produced
by the transmitting station Is useful.
Part OF the energy is reradlated, part
is lost due to the resistance OF the an.
tenna conductors. part is lost due to
the eddy currents produced in neigh.
boring non-conductlng material, and
part Is lost by leakage around the an.
tenna insulators. All OF these losses
can be reduced to n minimum by prop
erly locating and erecting an antenna
The losses due to eddy currents can
be reduced by erecting the antenna

PROPER MANAGEMENT OF CAR
Running Expenses May Be Reduced
by Making Stops Gradually
Also Start Slowly.

When making a stop. close the throt-
tie and withdraw the clutch at a

until very slight pressure on the
brake brings II to standstlll. Con-
stantly practiced, this little saving will
