EXISTENCE RESEMBLES LOOM Intercourse Across the Chasm of Death May Be Gradually Attained, He Asserts. Special Cable to The American. BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, Sept. 13.—“I am one of those who think that the methods of science are not po limited in scope as has been thought, that they can be applied much more widely and that the psychic region can be studied and brought under law, too.” So declared the learned Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the British As sociation for the Advancement of Science, in his address at the opening of the association’s meeting here to day. And again the erudite president said: “Already the facts examined have convinced me that memory and affec tion are not limited to that associa tion with matter by which alone they can manifest thoniseives here and now, and that personality persists be yond personal death.” So, despite his denial that he would invade the psychic region in his ad dress Sir Oliver din enter it, but he watched his every step, guarded his every word. “Keystone of Evolution.” Said he to his great audience: “If we have learned from science that evolution is real, we have learned a great deal. Surelv evolution is not an illusion: surely the universe pro gresses in time. Time and space and matter •ire abstractions, but are none the less real: they are data given by experience: and time is the keystone cf evolution. “I see the whole of material exist ence a® a steady passage from past to future, only the single instant which we call the present being ac tual. The past is not non-existent, however; It is stored in our memo ries; there is a record of it in matter, and the present is based upon it; the e is the outcome of the present and is the product of evolution. Life Is Like a Loom. “Existence is like the jutput front 1 a loom. The pattern, the design for the weaving, is in some sort there’ already; but whereas our looms are mere machines, once the guiding cards have been fed into them, the j Loom of Time is complicated by a | multitude of free agents who can modify the web. * * * . “Either we are immortal beings or we are not. We may not know our destiny, but we must have a destiny of some Sort. Those who make de nials are just as likely to be wrong as those who make assertions; in fact, denials are assertions thrown into negative form. “Scientific men are looked up to as authorities and should be careful not to mislead. Science may not be able to reveal human destiny, but it cer tainly should not obscure it. Things are as they are, whether we find them out or not. Asks for a Fair Trial. “Allow us, anyhow, to make the at tempt. Give us a fair field. Let those who prefer the materialistic hypothe sis by all means develop their thesis as far as they can; but let us try what we can do in the psychical re gion and see which wins. “Our methods are really the same as theirs—the subject matter differs. Neither should we abuse the other for making the attempt. “In justice to myself and my co workers I must leave on record our conviction that occurrences now re garded as occult can be explained and reduced to order by the methods of science carefully and persistently ap plied.’’ said Sir Oliver, on whom uni versities have showered honorary de grees. “The evidence, to my mind., goes to prove that discarnate intelligence, un der certain conditions, may interact with us on the material side, thus in directly coming within our scientific ken; and that gradually we may Hope to attain some understanding of the nature of a larger, perhaps the real, existence, and of the conditions reg ulating intercourse across the chasm." 'BOY UBGES OPERATION TO LET HIM GO TO SCHOOL LOGANSPORT, INI)., Sept. 13.— Mrs. Jessie James stood on a corner in the business district to-day con versing with her father. John Ginga- man, and near by, gazing at her, were grouped five mashers. Mrs. James bade her father good-bye and started away. “Oh, you chicken! Busy?” cried one of the group. Wheeling around, Mrs. James step ped back to the group, and smilingly inquired, “Who spoke?” One of the crowd stepped out an! asked: “Where you going?” Mrs. James slammed h r fist against his face and he staggered. Before he could recover she struck again, a fair, straight blow, which put him to the sidewalk. Then she rushed upon the otWer four, who crowded against a building Her attack was so unexpected and forceful that the quartet had felt | the effects of her fists before one of j them fought back and knocked Mrs. Jame9 across the sidewalk and against a mail box. She stooped, grabbed a loose pav ing brick and let it fly. It landed on the head of the man she had knocked down, and who had risen and was running away. The others followed and boarded an outgoing interurban car. _ / From the corner to the place where they took the car a trail of blood marked the passing of the one against whose head Mrs. James’ brick collid ed. “Sometimes I carry a gun,” said Mrs. James to the crowd that gath ered about her. “I am glad I did not have it to-day. Hereafter I will carry it. and If I am addressed as I was to-day I’ll kill the man who does It” Wife Asks $50,000 For Husband’s Loss ANN HARBOR, MICH., Sept. 13.- Making the journey from his home in Lewistown to this city alone, where he went to the University Hospital .o prepare for an operation for the re moval of cataracts which are threat ening his sight, Charles Rice, 8 years old, is anxious to have the doctors begin the work at once, so he may at tend school for the first time next month. . NEW YORK, Sept. 13—That the American-Hawaiian Steamship Com pany will send a steamship through the Panama Canal every 36 hours next year, and that instead of sail ing every five days they will send their vessels out every three days, was part of the program announced here to-day by the company. The statement was provoked be- cause an issued report stated that the American-Hawaiian line was consid erably “overbuilt.” In answer the company stated that it requires * a year to complete a steamship, and they have thus far launched four of their new fleet of eight big cargo carriers. The others will go into service in March, 1914, by which time it is expected the canal will be ready for use. The statement of the company fol lows : “The fact of having excess tonnage far ahead of the opening of the canal does not disconcert us and the ’Amer ican-Hawaiian line is proud of the fact that their fleet with a capacity of 270,000 tons will be ready in time. When the canal route is used we shall maintain a schedule of one steamer sailing from New York every three days. “It is true that we have chartered the American and the California to the American and Cuban Steamship Company and we believe these steam ships will make several trips to Bra zil. These are the ships we con structed when the company was feel ing its way, and their arrival in the South American ports will place on view the American flag, the lack of which in foreign waters has been commented on many times." Colorado Women Files Sensational Damage Suit Against Her Pa- rents-in-Law. Most-Reported-To-Be-Engaged Girl in United States Still Reigns Supreme. NEWPORT, Sept. 13.—For the fourth time Paul A. Andrews, pos sessor of millions and a surpassingly attractive daughter, has wearily penned a note to the public. It is the same note every time with but the only difference that each bears the name of a different young man coupled with that,of beautiful Mar garet Andrews, the surpassingly at tractive daughter hitherto mentioned. This last note was a denial that Miss Andrews was engaged to Mor gan Belmont, son of August Belmont. One before that had its mission in telling the world that Miss Andrews was not engaged to Harold Vanderbilt. Before that it was Herman Oelrichs. And the first one was Vincent Astor. And Miss Margaret is but 19. and her second year out. She is the most- reported-to-be-engaged girl in the Newport set. Rumor has coupled her name so often and so sincerely with one youth after another of the gilded ftet that it would seem Rumor would lose its reputation for veracity. For each time the gossip has fallen flat, under the emphatic little card from Father Andrews. Young Belmont Attentive. This last time all Newport thought the pursuit of beautiful Margaret An drews over. Morgan Belmont was most assiduous in his attentions. The things he told Miss Andrews and the manner in which he told them didn’t HISIM BEAUTIFUL LUSTROUS FLIlFff HAIR-25 CEUT DAHDEfFFlE No More Dandruff or Falling Hair—A Real Surprise Awaits You. To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lus trous. fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff, is merely a matter of using a little Danderine. It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it.

Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments—a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this. seem to make her a bit angry. They were together tnuch of the time. And so. in Society's mind, it was all set tled. Until came the note from Mr. Andrews. The affair has served merely to in crease the score of Miss Andrews as the most-reported-to-be-engaged girl for her years. She is just l!r, and they day her head Is not turned a bit. And she is well worth while in other ways, being beautiful, 5-lender, lively and a daring motorist, rider, swim mer, tennis player and all that. From the moment she first entered the gayety of the younger set she has been courted. Several years ago, when she was very young, indeed, and before she had made her debut. Vincent Astor noticed her. He was then a freshman at Harvard, and morning, noon and nighj found him at the 5*ide of the dainty girl. But she was very young then, and Society’s gossip of their engagement did not bear much conviction. Herman Oelrichs Ardent. Vincent Astor, the suitor, was some what distant, somewhat superior, somewhat open in his attitude of be ing the richest youth. Miss Andrews’ next suitor, however, was as ardent as could be desired. He was Herman Oelrichs, not quite as rich as Vincent Astor. *but wealthy enough at that. Then It was Harold Vanderbilt, who courted in a warm, orthodox fashion himself. But of them all, Morgan Belmont was the movt attentive, the mosf tireless, the most devoted. And So ciety believes that is the reason Fa ther Andrews’ note of denial bore so emphatic and conclusive a tone. He probably was perturbed a bit himself. Miss Andrews, the object of all this go 5-sip, is with it all the most popular girl in Newport. She is never bored, never listless, never indifferent. In so far as that goes, she is different. Therefore, she has more than her share of attention, and no girl who gets attention can hope to escape the gossip. Hence the reports, and hence the weary job of Father Andrews In penning his notes to the public. GEORGETOWN, COLO., Sept. 13. Robert and Isadore Nimme, wealthy residents of Idaho Springs, have been made defendants In an alienation suit filed in the district court of Clear Creek County by Jennie May Nimme, their daughter-in-law. Judgment i« asked in the sum of $25,000 and $25,- 000 punitive damages. Mrs. Nimme the younger alleges in her complaint, which is rather sen sational in its wording, that the de fendants poisoned the mind of their son Henry against her, causing him to finally drive her from home. She further charges that they have on various occasions beaten and bruised her. all of which she contends has “caused her much mental anguish and bodily injury.” History Study Scored By School President Indiana Solon Says World Events Are Too “High-Brow” for Youth ful Minds. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.—History is one of the most useless subjects taught in the common schools, in the opinion of W. W. Parsons, president of the Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute. President Parsons says he bases his thoughts about history on the necessary reaction on the part of a person acquiring historical knowl edge. To make his w-ords clear, he said the mind of a child, and even that of an older person, can not grasp hhe magnitude of the battle of Gettysburg or similar events, which are the more important history’ les sons. Despite his opinion. President Par sons did not advocate less history in the grade schools or any change in the system of teaching that branch.

Wolsey, of New York, who has of fered to subscribe $!>00,000 to found a college of women that would be a real A damless Eden, need expect no help in her project from Denver women. “I am going to the colony when It Is organized," announced State Sena tor Helen Ring Robinson, “to write an article about it, not to stay. I might stand it a little while. I could bear having men around less, but I like to see them .V dinner sometimes. An Adamless Eden might be an in teresting experiment, but I’m sure it would not be an interesting place to live in, at least, not to me. There are women who have ‘spinster souls;’ they can live without the society of men and not be unhappy. I frankly admit I have not a ’spinster soul.’ " Police Get Burglar Pausing to “Primp” Robber Is Donning Stolen Raiment When Neighbors Notice Him and Give Alarm ELOPERS ARE MARRIED AFTER NIGHT IN JAIL TERRE HAUTE, IND., Sept, !3.— After being in jail overnight, Ches ter R.

Famous Author of Matrimonial Essays Sues for Freedom from Young Chicago Husband. FORT SILL, OKLA., Sept. 13.—In the Wichita National Game Preserve, ten to fifteen miles west of Fort Sill, the United States Government has undertaken to restore and perpetuate the useful wild game animals and the wild game birds that abounded In the Southwest in frontier days.

Hoosier Merchants Must Get Yardsticks Commissioner Prepares Pamphlet Declaring Scale on Counter Marked With Tacks Illegal. INDIANAPOLIS. IND., Sept. 13.— No more will the small Hoosier store keeper measure off his ginghams, calico or silks on an improvised scale, marked off with tacks on the inside of his counter. This practice has been declared Illegal by H. E. Barnard, State Com missioner of Weights and Measures, and he Is preparing a pamphlet on the subject to be distributed among tho small town shopkeepers. Mrs. Lillian Bell Bogue, famous au thor, in the days when she still was Miss Lillian Bell, of Atlanta, indorsed a cynical bit of advice. It was: “Marry early, and If the circum stances permit—often.” Now iYlrs. Bogue is an inconsistent person, as you will come to know. She forgot what she had written, at least the last part of it, married Ar thur Hoyt Bogue, a young Chicago man seven years her junior, and vowed undying love. Later she recollected, and w r rote: “What Is marriage for. anyway? Is it built on anything but selfish ness? And if so, is it surprising that it fails? The wonder to me is that so many hold.” And now she Is seeking a divorce from her husband. Considered Love Expert. Her divorce suit has created some thing of a stir in literary circles, be cause Mrs. Bogue professed to be an authority on matters pertaining to love and marriage. But the courses of erotic experts sometimes go awry, it seems. Under the name of Lillian Bell she wrote miles upon miles of pseudo ad vice and instruction upon the relation of sex to sex. < me <>f her i" t theoiU s was a “college for lovers,” in which she would establish courses in “How. to manage a clever woman,” “How to keep your wife in love with you,” “How to develop your wife’s person ality,” and all that. It is notable that most of her advice went out to men. Through it all her writings were a strange mixture of sentiment and a cynicism, with more of the latter than the former, perhaps, just as her career has been a strange mixture of happiness and sadness. Altogether, she is Inconsistent. For instance: “No man under 35 is fit for mar riage. Younger than that, men are stupid, egotistical and boorish.” When she wrote that she was 33 Within a few months she met, loved and married Arthur Hoyt Bogue, Just 25 years old, a Chicago real estate man. "Of course." she explained it. "I do not really believe all the things I wrote. That article was merely the result of a conversation with a maga zine editor.” Another proof of her inconsistency: Miss Lillian Bell laughed at the suitor who did too much suing. She said the man itius take what he wants, after the manner of the old cave dweller. Compelling Power Wins. “It needs a compelling, not a per suasive power, to win a woman,” said she. “No man who takes me like this can have me.” and she gently touched together her forefinger and thumb. “He must take me like this,” and she clenched her fist. Then she married. To all appear ances; that is, to judge from appear ances as she presents them. Mr. Bogue was anything but the charac ter of forrefulness. “My husband has never earned a living for me since we were married,” she said in an interview the other day. “I have supported him and our daugh ter for the last ten years.” Mrs. Bogue, it seems, has not the ability to abide by her own precept, nor to persuade her own husband to accept her advice. Too bad, too. She had much advice to give, especially along the lines that had to do with man and maid. All she wrote was on that sentimental subject of love, courtship and mar riage. “The Love Affairs of an Old Maid,” for instance, and “^rom a Girl’s Point of View” and dozens of articles of the same tone. Mrs. Bogue says her husband is a drunkard and worthless. If so, she can hardly be blamed. Mr. Bogue says his wife Is fanatical and intoler ant. If so—but this Is not brief of their affair. It is merely a revelation of the fact that Mrs. Lillian Bell Bogue, estimable author, preceptor of lovers and wedded folk, is an Incon sistent philosopher, and a teacher without the ability of self-instruction. Also, it might Illustrate the fallacy of setting one’s self up as an authority on matters of love, courtship and marriage. Girls’ Tomato Club Attracts Eye of U.

Lesson in Scientific Complexion Renewing (From The Family Physician.) Everyone has a beautiful skin under neath the ore exposed to view. Bear that in mind and it will be easier to understand the correct principle in ac quiring a lovely complexion. Nature is constantly shedding the top skin in flaky particles like dandruff, only much small er in sd^e In abnormal conditions, or in advancing age, these particles are not shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The longer they remain the more soiled or faded they become- that’s the imme diate cause of a "bad complexion.” It has been discovered that ordinary mercolized wax, to be had of any drug store, will absorb these worn-out parti cles. The absorption, while hastening Nature’s work, goes on gradually enough to cause no inconvenience. In a week or two the transformation is complete. The fresh, healthy-hued, youthful under- skin is then wholly in evidence. You who are not satisfied with your com- f dexions should get an ounce of i.ierco- ized wax and try this treatment. Use the wax nightly, like cold cream, wash ing it off mornings.—Advt. On Building Materials Save half the cost of yoar Sash, Doors, Blinds, Paint, Glass, Varnish, Roofing, Tiling, Mantels.
