Question IN Palm Reading

Editor. Psychic Forunk
I'd like to ask few questions
for some Of your readers to answer
in your forum.
Last year there was, in a theater
on Ninth Street, a man calling HIM

entered for curiosity. He gave
US all q plain card on which to
write our name and any question.
! asked him where was the last
so years and signed my name.
There were about ten cards and we
put them all in q hat and tnev
blndfolded him. He picked the
cards out, not looking at them and
could not see them. When he came
to one card he called my name and
called off just what l put on the
card and said was where I should
not be. asked him, rs it wrong
to be in the Government service
not give me direct answer.
I visited him about a mont:
later. There was q young fellow
who was introduced as the young

Prof. Christensen, 1 think mis-

went through the assembly and said
IL anyone produces any article the
young man will tell what it is.

tfon tag, and the Man from India
looked at it, closed his hand ard
asked the young man what 1t was,
to which he replied, "a metal tag
and he gave the size. material and
the number, "646407."
Now remember, the blindfolded
man was on the platform so feet
away and could not see.
Everything he said was true, but
what I want to know is, How is ii
done?" Is it mental telepathy? /

PALM SUNDAY

Palm Sunday, today, even
among those who confess to no
religious beliefs, has come to have
a recognized place in the calendar
of modern civilization. To all the
world it graphically recalls the
supreme crisis in the life of Him
who, to a greater degree than any
other in recorded time, profound>
" influenced the whole course of
succeeding history. AS he enter
ed Jerusalem on this fateful day
eighteen centuries ago, astride OF
the humblest of all beasts Of bur-
den-symbolical of the meekness
and simplicity of the doctrine
which He preached-throngs
which had already accepted his
leadership, met Jesus of Nazareth
and cast palm branches across his
path, crying: "Hosannah to the
Son of David! Blessed is he that
cometh in the name Of the Lord!'
Thus Palm Sunday took it's
place in Christian annals. 1t mark.
ed the beginning of the end of His
remarkable mission on earth; and
was to lead, five days later, to the
Tragedy Of Golgotha.
With the day and its signifi-
eance established, Palm Sunday
has remained through the ages a
fixed and recognized event, OBJ
served by Christian believers
throughout the world according to
their doctrinial forms.

four Pacific Coast citias-Mon-

In 1915 the Ramage was ship

Monterey in 1884 and was used
to print official orders of the
Mexican government. Twelve
years later it printed Monterey's

away from his markets than he was
before the war. They viii show why
the manufacturer of the middlewest
is being forced, against his will, eth
er to set up a branch near the sea-
coast, remove to the seacoast, or else
to abandon foreign markets to his
competitors so situated. They wall
show that every other large produc-
ing area in the world has ocean
transportation at its doors, and that
only by bringing the ocean to our
doors can our position in world trade
be restored-that only by moving the
Atlantic into the heart of the North
American continent car the handicap
Of the farmer be removed ard his
dollar restored to its pre-war buying
power-that only by making the
Great Lakes ports ocean ports di-
rectly connected by large and eco
nomical ocean freighters with our
great terminal markets in Europe
and other lands can the industrial
life of the West be developed to Us
natural and full extent.
And it is further the purpose Of
this series Of stories to show how the
Atlantic can be brought inland. At
the present time all our roads, wheth-
er by rail or water, lead down to the
sea. 1t is 10 times as expensive, ton
for ton and mile for mile, to move
goods to market over the land as it
is to move them over the ocean. It
follows that in order to carry our
goods to the markets of the world
, at the lowest possible cost we must
bring the ocean to US, rather than Tor
US to go to the ocean. This series
will tell how this can be done-by
opening the st. Lawrence to the
worlds cargo-carrying fleets.

THE MIDI Continent Is
MarOOned

A transcontinental train was pull
ing out from Omaha for the Pacific
coast. in the diner sat two men en-
gagged in conversation. One was a
manufacturer of electrical supplies,
located in Akron, Ohio. Said he, 1--WE
do most of our shipping to the Pa
cific coast by way of Philadelphia or
Baltimore" The other expressed
surprise. at is this way" said the
manufacturer, "the cost Of rail haul
to the coast, plus the cost of trans
shipment, plus the freight down the
Atlantic through the Panama and up
the Pacific amounts to less than the
cost of the overland haul from Ak
ron to San Francisco or Portland"
Then the second man remembered
another incident that had been called
to his attention a short time before.
A manufacturer of refrigerators,
whose factory was located in western
Wisconsin, had made a car-lot ship
ment to Portland. The route one
would naturally expect the shipment
to take would be westward to the Pa
cific. The route it actually followed,
in order to secure the lowest trans
portation costs, was by way Of Chi
eago, Baltimore and the Panama
canal!
The reader may take these two in
stances as illustrations of conditions
