Convinced that in each case the
commission has accurate informa-

believes that body can be depended

Of the United States and to impose
no unnecessary hardships on those
nations IN so doing He sees no rea-
son for the press to become excited

As to the form of security given
the United States in the foreign debt
settlement already effected, Senator
Howell of Nebraska has raised a
q uestion with which American debt
commission officials take issue.
Announcement by the Nebraska
senator that he would insist, when
congress meets in December, upon
immediate conversion into negotiable
bonds of all foreign obligations to the
United States has brought response
from debt commission officials that
this already has been done.
Insisting, however, that this was
not the case, Senator Howell said
he believed the principal reason
such bonds had not been furnished
was because it would have given the
United States a commanding posi-
ton in European fiscal affairs by
permitting their marketing should

In the British settlement as al
example, he said, non-negotiablt
bonds had been accepted TO replace
the original loan notes. while botl

Defines a Ghost

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle solved
one problem which exercised all
minds during the week of the In
ternational Spiritualist congress-
which has just closed here. AL
though he did not produce a ghost
he gave a definition of one - and
that was something,
"A ghost is an appearance too
material for the spirit life which,
therefore, must remain on earth"
said Sir Arthur. The delegates
seemed satisfied.
The Belgian delegation monopo-
ilzed most of the sensational part
of the congress with its report OF
the cure of 23-year-old Antwerp
girl, Jeanne Debors, who suffered a
tubercular disease in the right hip,
leg and foot from childhood. Doc
tors abandoned hope Of a cure, but
the girl took spiritualist treatment
three months ago and now, the
Belgian delegates stated, the girl
has become normal and walks
without cane.

Hard to Done

When a ball club slumps, particu-
larry in batting, the effect is felt in
all departments of play.
The Athletics, who won most Of
their games through free hitting
during the carly stages of the race,
simply checked their extra base hits
for more than a month in the home
stretch.
AS is usually tile case when things
are breaking badly, an error or d
base on balls invariably resulted in
Il run.
Pitchers, who had been winning
consistently all season, Just couldn't
get going. Take the case of Ed
RommcI for instance. The brilliant
knuckle ball artist won 20 games in
the first four months then went
about four weeks before he could
capture his 21st victory.
However. it was in base running
that the Athletics sIumped worse
than in any other department of
play That is a rather freak situa-
/ ton.
a slump on the bases is the I'M
usual, yet the Athletics in their long
losing streak threw more games
away because of poor base-runnine
! than in any other manner.
In the crisis the ineXpcricnce OF
! the club was u more vital factor in
its poor finish than anything else
! The Athletics arc a real club. dos-
tined to make history in the Amcri.
, can league.
