GIRL HAS POWER
To LOCATE OIL
Beautiful Italian Successfully
'Divines' Presence of Water
and Petroleum Wells.

ROME, Oct. 11.-Augusta Del Pho
Luogo, a beautiful young girl of Ven
ice, is looking forward to a period Of
profitable and pleasant employment.
Italy is particularly interested just
now in two things, the location of
petroleum. for all the world wants oil.
and the finding Of water, for the
drought of the past two summers is
said to be but the beginning Of a
long dry spell.
To Augusta Del Pho Luogo is as
cribed the ability to locate. within the
earth, both oil and water. and her
successes have been so remarkable
her services are being sought by oil
and irrigation companies.
Practiced as Child
Augusta first noticed her ability
when a child. When walking in the
country she would notice little shocks
passing from her feet to her head,
causing her distinct pain. In 1909 she
met a famous water diviner, CHA
brera, and found hat his divining rod
acted as well for her as it did for him.
A year later she went to Argentina
and, making use of her powers, in
dicated a number of places where
water would be found. sometimes at
a depth Of 600 feet. In each case
water was found, but in some in.
stances it turned out to be salt.
Uses ChrOnOmeter
Back in Italy after the war Augusta,
in the presenC, Of two engineers, has
located not only water, but petroleum
and deposits Of pyrltes. She no longer
uses the divining rod. but a chrome.

LOS ANGELES. oct. 11.-What
makes the feminine heart and mind
Sc susceptible to the sway Of the self
proclaimed mystic?
A thousand women. patrons Of
Harry Y. Cohen, professionally known
as the Rev" Charles Newman, al
legged love cult medium, are today
asking themselves this question as
he faces grave charges.
Following his arrest on charges Of
improper conduct toward Mrs. Lillian
Hildreth, ~16-year.old bride client. in
his sanctum, the thousand women dis
covered their names entered in Co
hens graphically annotated register.
Book Count Evidence
This book, said by authorities to
hint at intimate domestic secrets, and
bearing on the accused mediums prac-
tees, is now court evidence. It's en-
tries run the social scale Of Los An
geles and surrounding towns. The dis
illusioned clientele await it's possible
use after Cohen's arraignment.
Women generally believe that there
are certain life and love mysteries
which they cannot Of themselves
fathom," says The Man Who Knows
All as Cohen styles himself.
"They believe that some wiser son
Of Adam or daughter of Eve knows
the key to these puzzling things.
That love can be won and retained
by some hocus-pocus. That something
outside themselves weaves their fate.
That's the secret Of the mystlc's in
f1uence and success"
Denies Guilt
The accused "spiritualist pastor
vehemently denies guilt Of the
charges made by Mrs. Hildreth, who
says she was subjected to indignities
while consulting Cohen. He ascribes
his -predicament to professional
jealousy of other mediums"
Short, dark, pudgy. living in a pa
latiaT residence and maintaining an
elaborate office fitted with objects
usually identified with mysticism.
Cohen says he has practiced success
fully in many cities, naming New
York, Chicago and Lincoln, Neb.
About his business as he character
lied it, he was quite frank.

me about the Philatelic Bureau, which
provides first issues for collectors. told
him of the profit we had made in the first
year. and he said That looks like
good business to me. Why would 1t
not be a good thing to change the
stamps often?'"
Mr.. Glover said he expected the bureau
to take in 100000 in the next year.
AS every collector wants a. sample of
every new stamp of every new Issue,
this means considerable revenue to the

iished December 6. 1921. and in It's first
year took in S4s,157. representing a
profit to the Government of $35,6S0.
