BRITONS URGED ID
 TOUR AMERICA
Stay-at.Horaes Encouraged to See Something oi New World

London, April q. - The middle class, stay-nt-home Britons afe be- ling encouraged to go get fieeting glimpse of the new world this com ing summer during their regular an- nual holidays. Vacations for the majority of white-co collared workers who 'inhabit this. island consist of 21 days. Heretofore the middle classes have counted on no further holiday excursions than jaunts to the coun- tries just across the channel: rela- lively few get so far away at Italy.
 And now the steamship companies, for q mere 50 pounds. less than s2b0, offer to take them to that fabled city Of New York, .whiza them rapidly for a few days around the American, metropolis, show them a few spots in Canada. and deliver them back home, all within those precious 21 days of summer holiday.
 It is a vision that 10 many of the stay-at- t-homes seems too good to be true. Every day. almost, they read of America in their newspapers and magazines and their eyes are gorged with the splendor and glitter of the new world each time they go to the movies. Their appetites are whetted for this wonderland by the annual visits of American golfers and ten his stars, and the homecoming tales of the endless stream of British au- thors, British lecturers and British actors whose favorite pastime would seem to be gathering in greenbacks that grow so plentifully in that rich republic across the sea, whose in- habitants have a perfectly astonish- ing eagerness to pay, people fab- ulous sums to lecturc'to them, or otherwise amuse or instruct them.
 Up to now the middle-class folk ,whp stay at home have never even sseriously .ithought for a minute of America. as a. possible place for merely a holiday visit in the sense that so many Americans seem to re- gard Europe. Leisured Britons by the hundreds have, of course, visited America purely on pleasure bent. and the trading travellers of England and Scotland occupy a good many cabins on every ship bound for New

the mediums at this spiritual
list camp call their finest work.
1t means that for an admission fee
of 81 a person, you can enter the
darkened seance room and not only
talk to your deceased, grandparents
and other spirit friends, but see
their materialized forms issuing
from a curtain covered cabinet in
which the medium sits 'entranced. p"
1t is the most difficult for the
visitors to the camp to believe and
consequently the mediums usually
reserve this stunt until the person
is well entangled in the net of cult
teachings and in a state of receptiv-
ity which will help prevent doubt as
to its reality.
Mrs. Mary Murphy Lydy intro
duced me to this phase Of spirit
manifestation, at a seance in the
front room Of her cottage one night.
Theoretically Sealed
One corner of the room was cur
tanned off by heavy black draperies
which reached to the floor.
The room is almost hermetically
sealed, with bolted doors and shut
tered windows.

the seance is from a miniature spirit
lamp behind several thicknesses of

Here again, we were warned of
the disastrous effects of skepticism
upon the vibrations" We were
also told that there were three forms
of Undertaking., real materializa-
ton, TRANSPORTATION and impersona-
ton.
But" Mrs. Lydy assured us, I'VE
do not have impersonation unless
there IS a doubter in the circle. 1t
occurs when the spirit friends are
not strong enough to produce actual
naturalization. but take control of
the medium and force her from the
cabinet to deliver their messages.
True naturalization occurs when
vibrations are right and the spirit
friends can gather enough ectoplasm
from the circle to build the likeness
Of the earth bo lies. and inhabit the
forms to appear to you"
