The buttons are made from discs,

of rivers and is breathed through

themselves 20 the thread-like fila

THE GANG"
PoliceWoman Says "5ackers"
Of Girl Are Responsible for
Staying.
By MARGERY REX.

SerVice).
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-The gang
has ''got" another girl.
One more girl goes to her grave
through The Gang.
The gang believes 'auld acQuaint-
ahce" should not ''be forgot"
The Girl. once the Gang has has
been useful to her, once she has
gained her purpose. wants to give
them ''the gate"
But The Gang, which believes old
friends are the best, refuses to be
anything but master Of such a sit
uation.
Once a girl has clasped hands with
a gang there Is no way out for her
but death. Two kinds Of death
suicide or murder.
1t was murder In the case Of Dot
King. In the case Of Louise Law.
son, murder, similarly planned and
carried out.
Before death both girls were fol-
lowed by a companion they could
not "shake"-fear.
Her first hacker" in Broadway
night life Is q gangster. He intro
duces her to richer men. But she
may not forget nor slight this
"backer" for newer friends. He
stands always in the background
Of her life, sleek and sinister.
But who were the men Louise
Lawson knew before she knew mil
lionaires Angler B. Duke and Ger
hard NJ. Dahl?
Find those men and you find
the friendly enemies Of dead Louise
Lawson, the Texas flower that
faded in Broadway's night.
Find out where Louise Of the
Lone Star State lived when she
first came to New York. Find her
earliest associates. Find the men
who pre-dated millionaires In her
life.
Find out those things and you will
discover the murderer of Louise
lawson. says Mrs. Mary K. Hamil.
ton, New York's famous police
woman.
The basis of a Broadway butter.
ny's career is blackmail. Her ad-
mirers in the gang are willing to
stay far, far away from the scene
OF her new conquests IL the girl will
give them few lucky pieces with
which to line their pockets. The
gang blackmails the girl victim and
also the men friends Of their victim.
"Blackmail is the biggest crime in
New York city today" says Mrs.
Hamilton. %S
'The well educated girl from a
good home like Louise Lawson is
not so well able to protect herself
from these men as q girl from the
gutter. But once In with a gang the
girl cannot draw out. There is only
one way out-death. Die or be MUIR
dered.
Louise Lawson, whether she be-
gan with a gang or ended in the
clutches OF one, surely attracted the
attention Of this class Of men by
her money and jewels.
This story Of Louise Lawson is
tragedy typical Of our times. The
girl coming to the city in search
OF a career. Going about from
music studio to booking agency.
Being strung along and getting
nothing but promises. Hearing
cynical comments about the way to
tget ahead in New York."
Mrs. Hamilton in her police work
has talked to hundreds Of girls.
Runaway girls, unhappy girls, girls
criminal and girls ignorant and fool
iSh. Many girls, she says, are made
to work for gangs. Used as ex-
change for drugs or liquor, Get.
ting orders for bootleggers.
Dot Kings death is still a mys-
terry. Louise Lawson's is 80 SINH
lar as to confirm suspicion that the
same person committed both
crimes.

underlies all conscious life. they get
Impressions that have in them qualities
OF prophesy and understanding beyond
the bounds of actual known facts.
They state what they have gotten
as best they may. but the difficulty is
immense. that is. of turning the fluid
ldrean-stuff of their visions" into the in
flexible rigidity OF words. At times too
they receive no impressions. They get
nothing for their gifts are not amenable
to conscious desire Like the wind, this
faculty "blowetl where it listeth." But
having been acclaimed on the basis of
their former intuitive prophecies, elevated
to the position of a seer. they hesitate
TO declare their darkness and their
in themselves is essential to the oper-
alton of their psychic faculty. They must
not encourage doubt. Perhaps. they are
also driven by the fatal necessity of us
ing their gifts as a means of livelihood
Money is paid them for producing. They
must produce. And so they fall into
stimulation and fraud
A case of the kind has recently APP
peared in the New York courts, that of
an eighteen year old girl from Kansas
who had created interest by her psychic
gifts. She had been brought to New
York by DR.. Hereward Darlington, a dis
tinGu;shed investigator of psychic phe-
nonema and writer upon the subject
She had also interested Harry Houdini
the professional magician. but because
she failed to convince the Judge of her
powers, she was found guilty OF "for-
tune telling" in violation of certain stat
utes intended to protect the credulous
against fraud.
Unfortunately, the field OF psychic de-
velorment attracts to it those who prac
tic chcanery, innposture and trickery OF
every kind. Without actual gifts. or
with a. low grade of animal cunning. they
tell fortunes. give messages from the
Spirit world" and extort money by ap-
pealing to that human love of the mar
velous and inexplicable on which the
great Snowman. Barnum, so skillfully
played. All of this destroys faith in the
professional psychic" and turns the
seekers after -2re values away from
those prophets and "seers' who use
their gifts for gain.

PSYCHIC GIFTS

The reed Tor money and the desire
to get it are responsible for the prosti-
tuition OF many rare gifts. Those who
have clear insight into the heart of
life and the power to express it are.
at times, lured away from the hard
and lonely path of iluminative crea-
ton by the certain profits OF dramatic
ing the obvious and casting the glamor
OF their gifts over the pervading snug
ness OF those who pay the price.
But nowhere is this temptation greater
than in the field Of psychic develop
ment. Those persons. attuned to life
intuitively, who exercise the faculty
called psychic. because it relates to the
human psyche, the very essence of the
individual. the soul. have peculiar diff
culties in their adjustments to life and
in the exercise Of their gift Because
they are able to release themselves from
objectvity and TO register impressions
from the deep well OF fantasy and dream

THE SOUTH WINDS PROMISE.

i'
There's a happy rush Of wings in the
air,
The meadow larks are calling;
1ac mocking bird has chosen his mate
and the sweet spring rain is falling.
Wni;e busy men on every hand
The fertile soil are breaking,
The gray sage laughs on yonder hill
Her purple blossoms waking.
the creek is laughing merrily,
Der her rocky bed is streaming
A silver. sparkling coverlid b.
That rises, settles, cleaning.
The wild flowers bloom in every field.
In colors most enhancing
And on yon little graveled knoll
Bluebonnet heads are dancing.
Over all the south wind blows
His happy promise giving,
That fills the land with rosy hope
The pure, sweet joy of living.
Pint come with me and stand with me
In the blazing hot July.
When an angry sun stands glowering
In cloudless, white-hot sky.
When the brave south wind though
Blowing
Cannot drive away the heat
And grass that once was bright AID
green
Lies yellowed at our feet.
When. robbed Of strength and moisture
The dropping wild flowers stand
And the sage, poor dying sentinel,
Guards all the parching land.
Come with me to the creek side
Where a few short months ago
We watched the happy waterfall
OF the spring-time freshet flow.
The rocks are dry and baking
Like the fields upon the hill
For the south wind often promises
That which he can't fulfill.
I've seen July come laughing
With a myriad happy flowers
Her fields were filled with plenteouS
Crops. her tresses shone with show
ers.
BUT I've seen her just as often
When her crops stood dry and still.
Fer the south wind often promises
That which he can't fulfill.
