TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's nature may be a crafty
one, perhaps capable of deception and
very shrewd dealings. It benefits the
power of execution, but be careful not
to use actual deceit, for this degree
does not show that the public will put
any too great trust in the native at
the best. They will seem instinctivelv
to doubt his honesty and be suspicious
of his intentions.

To the Editor:
Father Herbert Thurston's recent
book, "The Church and Spiritualism"
(Bruce Publishing Co., Milwaukee,, ,
quotes there three propositions as
embodying all the directive principles
Rome has to say on the question: l.
The Church has not pronounced upon
the essential nature of Spiritualistic
phenomenal; 2. The Church forbids
the general body of the faithful to
take any part in Spiritualistic prac-
tees. 3. In the manifestations which
occur, the Church suspects that dia-
bolic agencies may per accidents in
tervenc.
Father Thurston, S. j., though
soundly Catholic, is one of the most
skeptical scholars we know of. Hence
what he has to say on Spiritism is
not to be lightly dismissed
The priest has thoroughly examin-
ed the evidence for preternatural in
tervention in Spiritist manifestations.
and has arrived at the astonishing
conclusion that they are as we'll es-
tablished as normal human testimony
for any miraculous event. We could
not go that far. Yet it can hardly be
denied, in view of some of the evil
dence he has presented, that the case
is very strong. Against it stands the
unwavering testimony of such men
as Houdini, masters in stage trickery,
who refused to accept any of the
Spiritist manifestations as real Like
wise the $4,000 prize offered by The
Scientific American for a genuine
seance has as yet gone unawarded
despite attempts to win it.
Father Thurston has read deeply in
Spiritist literature and quotes cop
iously to prove that "the most &C
credited opponents of Spiritualism
everywhere assure us that there are
whole troops of spirits whose one de-
sire appears to be to deceive and inn
pose upon those who are willing to
hold intercourse with Them Hence
the rule of the Church in forbidding
the general body of the faithful to
take part in seances is we'll founded.
On the other hand, it seems that good
spirits sometimes make themselves
known, Father TFfurston gives in
stances of conversions to the Church
as result. He seems to believe that
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1937-06-21

these good spirits are not devils, but
perhaps spirits from limbo or else
where. He recalls that Anne Catherine
Emmerich contended there are "souls
neither in heaven, purgatory nor hell
but wandering the earth in trouble
and anguish, aiming at something
they are bound to perform. :. Il have
often understood, in my childhood
and later, that three whole choirs Of
angelic spirits, higher than the arch
angels, fell, but were not cast into
hell; some, experiencing sort of re-
pentance, escaped for a time. Those
are the planetary spirits that come
on earth to tempt man. At the last
day they will be judged and condemns
ed. Il have seen too that many of
the damned go not directly to hell
but suffer in lonely places on earth"
Of the planetary spirits, she says,
some of them are an occasion of
good, inasmuch as man himself di-
reefs their influence to good. 3.
Father Thurston sees mo reason
whatever for regarding these social
ed revelations" of Catherine Emericl'
"as of supernatural origin But
nevertheless important Churchmen
were deeply interested in them and
allowed them to be published and eff
learned theologians can pass them for
the press without any note Of censure,
the fact seems to imply that we
possess very little knowledge. regard

HAzEN TO ASK
WATER RULING

Concerned over the ruling of
Municipal Auditor Daniel J. Dono'
van calling for an "overcharge" OF
$685., 900 on the water bills of 104
500 District taxpayers, Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen said today
he will ask Corporation Counsel
Elwood Seal for a legal opinion
Donovan's ruling was made at
the request of Water Registrar
Edward Grove. Since the Is per
cent reduction, which had been
in effect on all water bills since
July /. 1884, was dropped the first
of this month. Grove asked
whether he should allow the de.
duction on water used before
July /.
The ruling of Major Donovan
was that all bills sent out after
July should be at the regular
rates regardless of whether the
water was used prior to July J.
This was ordered because when
the Is per cent reduction first
went in effect in 1884, it was made
retroactive in some cases for IL
months prior to that date.
Hazen was reminded many per-
sons will be called upon to pay the
full rate for water used prior to
July /. who did not own homes
and get the benefit of the retroac-
tive reduction in 1884. Rumors
were current today at the District
Building that several lawyers have
threatened suit unless the Is per
cent reduction is allowed up to
July /.

PAINTERS D u f
BACK0N JOBS

Striking members of the Brother
hood of Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers, local union No. 26S,
whose walkout on all Federal build
ingS here has tied up millions OF
dollars in construction, will be
back at work shortly.
Bryce P. Holcombe, business
agent for the union, declared to-
day one of the two principal
causes of the strike-involving al
legged violations of the Bacon
Davis Act by out-of-town contrac-
tors given painting jobs on the
City Post Office and the Bureau
of Internal Revenue-will be ad-
justed by the Labor Department.
Ruling Delayed
Holcombe explained his union
tried unsuccessfully for days to
persuade the Procurement Divi-
sion of the Treasury Department,
which awarded the contracts on
the two disputed jobs, to ask the
Labor Department to rule on
wage scales being paid.
Today both Holcombe and the
Labor Department verified reports
the Procurement Division has &C.
ceded to the demand and that an
investigation of the allegations of
the painters union will be made
Immediately.
At stake is the contention of the
painters that nonunion men are
being paid $11 for an eight-hour
day, while local usage is $11 for
Seven-hour day, with double time
for the extra hour.
Plans Cooperation
Holcombe explained further:
"Other building tradesmen
have been forced to stop work
because the painters were out.
Now that the Labor Department
can investigate the matter, we
feel it only right to cooperate
with the other union men and
the union contractors by going
back to work on all the jobs"
He declared, however, that the
painters might walk out again un-
less the issue is settled satisfactor-
lily to them. He also explained
today's action has no effect upon
one other complaint, involving
charges of violating the Wagner
labor disputes act.
