Long Idle Iron Mines
Taken Over by Labor

In the boldest social experiment ever
attempted in Norway, unemployed are
taking over control, with the sole liabil-
ity of a SO annual rental, of the large
iron mines at Evenes which have been
inactive for six years. Because of the
immense operating costs, the mines
were closed down after the Beer Sont-
heimer & Co. of Frankfort-on- Main,
Germany invested more than 100000
in the undertaking, and now, to avoid
the heavy expense of maintenance
against deterioration, the company has
turned the fields over to its former en-
ployeS. With first mortgage loan of
$4,000 as working capital the men
contemplate a production of 1000 tons
month, which the company has guar
anteed to purchase in entirety at mar
ket price. Though the miners will re-
ceive only Sl50 a day, they are salts
fed, declaring, even if we must work
for less, we are only too glad because
anything is better than unemployment
doles. Virtually all Evenes, which is
in the northern district of Ofoten, is
dependent on the mines, and their
revival with new machinery doubling
the previous output will restore pros
perity to the 5000 inhabitants i'm
poverished by the long period of I'M
employment.

Primitive Religions Hold
Ethereal Double Theory

The theory that mans physical body
has species of ethereal double, which
comedies with it during the hours Of
full consciousness, but may be uncon-
sciously or consciously projected from
it, though still connected by an elastic
link, is implied in most primitive re-
ligions.
This theory forms the subject of re-

Astral Body" What occultists now call
the astral body" is the "Ka" of the
early Egyptian writings and is also de-
scribed in detail in the Tibet Book of
the Dead" The Silver Cord" of Eccle-
siastes is held to refer to the connecting
link, and such phrases as giving up the
ghost" have an obvious connection with
the theory. which is used by students
of the occult to explain many phenom-
ena of Inconsistencies, the Illusion OF

so forth.

But since the war. and as direct
result of this greatest among all revolu-

in both countries-changes that are
merely scenes of the great revolution

bloodless scenes, and since they are not

Japanese Legislators
Who Drink Are Flayetl

The forces of prohibition which are
slowly centralizing in Japan have
started an attack against the citadel
the Diet itself in an effort to set an
example for the whole nation.
The drys in this case do not main
tain that it is improper to drink, but
they do think that members of the
10 .er house should not imbibe too freely
when they are supposed to be tending
to important national matters.
There is a restaurant in the Diet
building which sells alcoholic drinks,
and many of the legislators are won't to
stop in and have a few drinks at the
beginning of every session. 1t is this
practice which arouses disapproval.
The fight is being led by DR.. Isoo Abe,
former professor a. Waseda University
and now head of the Social Democratic
party in the lower house. He is known
as the father of base ball in Japan be-

There is one great fact, only one vio-
lent revolution that has taken place
in Europe; but. as we lived through
it, we did not quite perceive that it was
a revolution. This historical fact. this
revolution is, simply, the World War.
Before the World War. all through
the renovating and marvellous nine
tenth century, we witnessed trans
formations but their rhythm was slow
and safe: it was like the gradual chang
ing of landscape viewed from a mail
coach. It took Queen Victoria sixty
years of Buckingham Palace life to
realize that she had begun her career
as a ruler with lot OF rights, and that
she vtls ending it as a ruler with a
lot of honors. but very few rights.
Since the war, we have been look
ing at life as we look at landscape
from the windows of an express train.
Hills and mountains, lakes and marshes,
running by, make us feel that we are
moving so fast we will soon leave be-
hind us the skies and the lands to
which we were accustomed in our
private life.

TT is not the Russian revolution
that taught us that civilizations
are only mortal. The Russian
/ tragedy has accomplished but
little change in thre real condi-
tions of the Russians. Russia Waf Asia
before the revolution, and still is Asia.
She was a police regime without free
dom of speech under the empire: she
is a police regime without freedom of
speech under the Communistic rule.
An aristocracy and an exhausted
dynasty have gone-a fate which both
deserved. The peasants, the great real
mass of Russia. now, since they have
got the land in spite of Communist
slogans, are probably little less miSer-
able than under the old rule; but, to
keep the balance. another class, the
bourgeoisie or-as they used to say in
Russia-the intelligentsia, now suffers
the hardest treatment.
Are the other political changes of
regime in Europe really worth mention
ing? 1t is so evident that they are
simply trifiing episodes in the life of a

"A NEW YEARS CHALLENGE

Bishop of Washington.

Tert, Genesis, Trrii.17: "Whose

The above text sounds like the chal-

silent rounds in the lonely hours of

times in life when some such searching
| inquiry as this is made. Self-identifi-
cation we are compelled to consider on
! the one hand, and our objective in life
| on the other. In the hurry and rush
of busy days we give ourselves too in
frequently to the consideration of these
things. There is so little of leisure, so
little of opportunity for reflection, that
we go along our way, year in and year
out, without seriously considering what
We in our personality represent, the re-
lation we bear to individual and COR
porate concerns to which We are COM
mitted and the purpose Of life as we
are related to 1t. We are careful at
this season Of the year to re-examine
our standing and place so far as our
business Is concerned. Every CONNER
cial concern is having its books ball
anced, and when the figures are dis
closed they will indicate either the
profits or the losses of the past year.
These figures will largely determine the
course to be followed in the year that
all that our ledgers tell us is that which
we discover in our own lives as we
survey them in the light of accomplish
ment. as we'll as in the light of their
relation to the ideals we set for our
selves when we entered upon our fixed
careers. Whether we will or not, we
do come at length to identify ourselves
with certain interests, we do set for
ourselves certain standards by which
We measure our relation to those with
whom we have fellowship. Strive as
We may. We cannot avoid being CLASH
fed, and our classification is largely
determined by our fellowShipS and as
sociations. 1t is quite universally true
that birds of a feather flock together"
Our professional, business, political and
religious associates largely give us our
place Of standing in the community in
which we live. There are few of us
that can survive the influences with
which we have identified ourselves. 1t

one does not occupy an enviable dis
tinction.
