up to the Trade Winds quick! Nope
there's no apartment open in the
building and nobody's planning on
moving out, but billed on the floor
show, this week, are the Jaretts,
mental telepathy experts who claim
if there's an empty apartment in
Washington they know where to-
find it. Line for admittance to the
Trade Winds will please form on
the right. Management requests
complete restraint.
just how does this wonderful
system work? We're not sure. We
talked to the Jaretts ourself for
approximately half an hour and
all we can tell you is what they told
us-about their remarkable. results.
Lady Stella (they call her the
lady with a thousand eyes so judge
for YOURSELF says that she predicted
our entry into the war in September
OF l941 as falling between Deem
Der and 8. In case you're putting
your money into a pool, Lady Stella
would advise setting the end of the
European war as November of this
year and giving the Pacific conflict
an additional Is months.
Questions Lady Stella seems to
be getting most frequently at the
Trade Winds concern the where
abouts and return of servicemen
overseas. 1t works like this. Small
white cards, about nine of them, are
handed out at random to patrons
Who then write their question down,
sign their initials, seal the envelope
and return it to Mr.. jarrett. Meth
er jarrett or Lady Stella at any time
see what is written on the card.
one at time jarrett holds the
cards over Lady Stella'S head who
sits bl1ndtolded in the center of the
moor. When she calls out the mi
tlalS OF a person, that person mods
TO the rest Of the audience and is
then supposed to concentrate on
the question they have just writ
ten.
The speed with which Lady Stella
Tells what part of the country the
inquired about servicemen are in
ana when they will return is amaz-
ing indeed. OF course, what piques
everybody is how Lady Stella knows
what the question was in the first
place. The Spectator thought he
would be aWfully smart and wrote a
question IN German. About all we
succeeded in doing was getting sus-
plclouS looks from the Philippine
walters. Lady Stella answered the
question without even knowing it
was written in German. She said
1t doesn't really matter whether Won
even write it down as long as YOU
concentrate on it SO she can pick
up the thought waves. Other things /
people asked about were trips. in
VeStmentS and where to find things
that were lost. In finding things
that are lost Lady Stella claims to

goes Tor apartment finding, too.
IL may interest you to know that
Lady Stella says anybody can do
the very same thing in about six
years: OF course, it takes a little
practice. It's just a simple matter
OF training your mind to concen-
trate,. she explained. With regard
to subjects Lady Stella claims that
men make easier subjects than
women since they possess greater
powers of concentration. For the
same reason children are the most |
difficult subjects.
Actually Lady Stella said, "the
more intelligent a person the easier

oCella gave us when she said this. /
The worst part about an act of
TINS sort according to the Jaretts
Is not the performance itself but
eludlng people after they get off
the floor. It's not enough that the
patrons track them down with a
million questions but the walters
are beginning to do the same thing |
The Spectator felt so sorry for |
the Jaretts he said good night |
there and then without asking even
one OF the 30 questions we had on
our mind.
Telephone operators at the Hotel
Annapolis were so anxious to hear
Little Jack Little's new song lust

held the mouthpiece of the phone
over the revolving record for five
whole minutes. The records not
that long but there are three oper-
ators at the hotel where Jack lives
and they all insisted on hearing the
entire works.
Interesting thing about the song
which Jack composed list summer
here at the Ell Patio is that one
of the boys who does lyrics on the
recording died before it was re-
leased. Title of the song is Il Hope
to Die If I Told a Lie"
