told the following:

A revolutionary movement in

Spirits Blamed for Stopping Lewey Clock

the departed spirit Of the

Of the old lady broke 'he clock

have it after she left.

which was not accompanied by
spiritual phenomena, at times
unknown to others, but very
plain to me. AS a rule a spirit
leaves the body in a state of
coma and often is not attached
to the body for hours before
what is physically termed death.
1 have talked to many such
spirits and find them very
happy in their state of being.
Mrs. Lewey's spirit may have
stopped the clock. Spirits have
projected their spiritual bodies

been in that year! 1 doubt that
the people here in the East
realize it as much as the people
out West, where have been.
They have been feeling the ef-
fects of it more out there, and
they are very enthusiastic.
There is no question that he has
the whole country behind him
from here to California.

Coincidence? Maybe so. But
DR.. Jane Coates, noted Washing

thinks otherwise.
"There are more things in
heaven and earth, HOratiO, than
are dreamt of in your philOsO-

DR.. Coates so smilingly quoted
today when it was suggested the
demise of the Lewey clock was
due not to supernatural phenome-

Of an advance in real hourly wages in the last
FOURTEEN months greater for such a period than
has ever been achieved before in any great nation
amounting on the average to more than % per

able to absorb the great body of labor even at
these wage rates. AS wages are part of the cost

employers to suspend, thus throwing more men out
