~~N this Armistice Day, November II, the
war has been over for lour years. 1t
is almost startling, that so much time
has elapsed since the German surrender, 18th
hour of the 18th ~ of the 18th month,
Time, which heals all wounds and obliter-
conflict into the mi is of memory.
The world still ferments with troubles,
but the outlook as whole is far better than
1t was year ago. There are fewer uncer-
tainties in the suituation, and it is becom-
ing obvious that the world is definitely on
the way back to the normal conditions of
peace. The road, however, will be long
one.
Crises, which threaten to become calami-
ties. still rear their ugly heads periodically.
But people are noticing that these crises
Lever turn out as badly as expected; the
clouds are more terrifying than the storms
that follow.
America is leading all other countries in
reconstruction and a return to sane think
ing-common sense. We have taken and
withstood the shock OF industrial depression,
natural reaction OF the war. Our outlook is
bright, where year ago 1t was uncertain.
Europe will be slower to recover, for it's
damage was greater. But conditions over
t ., while bad, are far better than even the
most optimistic ho1ed for when the last shot
was fred in France
Convalescence from a critical illness re-
quires time, cannot take Pc quickly by
!. agic. That is the keynote Of the European
situation. this Arr,istice Day.

REGENERATION FACTS
By DR.. Frank Crane

It is with pleasure that we find such a
book as Recurring Earth Lives" by F.
Milton Willis, and discover that the author
not only gives us the usual transcendental
reflections, but actually gets down to cases
and tells us precisely how and when certain
persons have been reincarnated, and, also,
just how long we are supposed to stay dead
before our next incarnation takes place.
'Unskilled laborers'' are due to rest up
from sixty to one hundred years in the
astral world, skilled labor from one hun
dred to two hundred, the bourgeoisie from
two hundred to three hundred years, and
so on up to 'the highest class of gentlemen
farmers, who take time to cultivate their
minds and manners, and typical profess
sional men interested almost exclusively in
their professions who must remain out of
the picture from six hundred to one thou
sand years.
This is edifying, as it gives us some
thing definite to go on and we can make
our arrangements accordingly.
Epictetus, who lived about A. d. so, re-
appeared as Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Cicero came back as Gladstone.
The Prussians are reincarnations of the
ancient Carthaginians and Phoenicians
Julius Caesar did not seem to have much
luck as he came out in an English family
two or three decades ago and died as a
boy. He came back according to schedule,
but the earth was not quite ready for his
abilities.
Ashoka Vardhana, a king Of India, who
lived about 272 B. c., reappeared as Colonel
Alcott, who was co-founder with Nine.
Blavatsky Of the theosophical society.
Hypatia Of Alexandria has been back two
centuries, first as Giordana Bruno, who
was burned to death in 1900, and later as
Mrs Annia RaSant
Alfred the Great made his temperance
as Queen Victoria.
William the Conqueror had his second in
nings as Lord Kitchener.
Theodore Roosevelt appears to date back
to Chaldean king who flourished about
10000 B. c. and is due to come again
very shortly.
Virgil came out as Alfred Tennyson.
Francis Bacon, of the seventeenth CEN
tury who was supposed to have written
Shakespeares plays in his spare moments,
was formerly Robertus, the monk, in the
sixteenth century, Hunyadi Janos in the
fifteenth, the Christian RosencreuZ, the
founder Of the Rosicrucian society, in the
fourteenth, and several other interesting
personages.
While our author does not say that Ed
gar Allen Poe is a reincarnation Of Pythag-
oras he indicates that he came pretty near
it, but that Pythagoras has really reap
peared as the Master Koot Hoomi, or
keeper of records, who, together with Colo
mel Alcott and Nine. BIavatsky, founded
the theosophical society. Hoomi, pardon
the familiarity, is now using an Indian body
and is living in Thibet, near Shigatse
There have been those who are inclined
to cast aspersions on the cuItists because
they were too Indefinite From now on
they should be silent. Facts are facts.
OF course, some may question these as
sertions, but then the disbelievers and in
fidels are always with us.

Thou shalt not worship Paris frocks, and
millinery from the Rue de la Paix nor fine
houses, nor imousines, nor social prece-
dence. Neither shalt thou bow thy knee to

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin Cobb


It is narrated of two colored men that they
set forth one night to borrow hog. Not
until nearly daylight did they succeed In
borrowing one from the pigpen of planter.
Having slaughtered the prize they decided
that is should be left in the cabin of one OF
them until the following night, when the
other would come to claim his share.
During the day the present custodian,
while immersing the carcass in a barrel Of
brine to prevent it from spelling, declared
that he needed all the meat for himself Ac-
cordingly he removed 1t to a suitable hiding
place and then, returned home, awaited the
arrival Of his partner in the enterprise Of the
night before.
About eight o'clock the second negro ar
rived, carrying an empty sack over his arm.
"Whar's de meat Sam?" he asked, as he
entered the cabin.
"In dat barrel of BRINE over yonder be-
hind de back do. Jes' go over and hep
you'se'f to yore sheer
The caller rolled up his sleeves and inn
mersed his arms in the brine.
'Tain't no meat here" he said, after o
thorough search.
II amt s'prised one Bit" said Sam. "Rats

whut I'm gwine do. Dey carries off ever

NO. 29-THE STRANGE CASE OF THE,
TASMANIANS


TASMANIANS
TT is necessary now to discuss plainly what
is meant by phrase, used often very
- carelessly, "The Races of Mankind"
1t must be evident from what has already
been explained in Chapter III that man, so
widely spread and subjected therefore to
great differences of climate consuming very
different food in different regions, attacked
by different enemies, must always have been
undergoing considerable local modification
and differentiation.
Man, like every other species of living
thing, has constantly been tending to differ
entiate into several species; wherever body
of men has been cut off, in islands or oceans
or by deserts or mountains from the rest of

adapted to the local conditions.
Two Contending Forces
But, on the other hand, man is usually a
wandering and enterprising animal for whom
there exist few insurmountable barriers. Men
initiate men, fight and conquer them, inter-
breed, one people with another. Concurrently
for thousands of years there have been two
sets of forces at work, one tending to separ-
ate men into multitude of local vari. les,
and another to remix and blend these varie-
ties together before a separate series has
been established.
These two sets Of forces may have fluc-
tuated in this relative effect in the past
Palaeolithic man, for instance. may have
been more of wanderer, he may have drift
ed about over a much greater area than
later Neolithic man; he was less fixed to any
sort OF home or lair he was tied by fewer
possessions Being hunter, he was obliged
to follow the migrations of his ordinary
quarry. few bad seasons may have shifted
him hundreds of miles. He may therefore
have mixed very widely and developed few
varieties he Of
The appearance of agriculture tended to
tie those communities of mankind that took
it up to the region in which it was most con-
Veniently carried on and so to favor differen-
tiation

upon higher or lower stage of civilization;

their villages, neither they nor their fathers
