the officlal records of the organiza
tion. It follows:
“It will take me some time before |
I can give you a full report upon my
investigations here. | feel that | was
a mere youth in the cause upon the
earth, But | feel now that since |

more thoroughly and fully than |

parted otherwise. And | want to
know more myself. | am just in my
infancy here.”
Other Messages Received.
Mrs. Glenn was not acquainted
with Dr. Friend. She was under psy
chic influence in the presence of Miss
Tubby, secretary to Dr. James H.
Hyslop, when she received the com
munication. She repeated the mes
sages carefully to Miss Tubby, wno
recorded them in shorthand.
Miss Tubby confirmed receipt of the
message. She stated that other mes
sages have also been received from
Dr. Friend through Mrs. Glenn, but
that they were fragmentar: They
were sufficient, however, she said,
fully to identify the sender
Professor Friend was a Fellow at
Harvard University. He was not yet
#0 years old. He was bound abroad
to continue resear into the splrit
world when the Lusitania was lost
The next revelation from Professor
Friend, according to Mls Tubby
came a 4 week or so later It was re
corded in shorthand as spoken by
Miss Glenn, as follows

Oil Magnate Enforces Rule at Tarry
town by Cutting Gasoline
Supply.
TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Dec. 4—John
D. Rockefeller has issued orders that
there is to be no more joy riding on
his estate. He owns nine cars, which
are used for various occupations on
the grounds. For some time his gue
lollne bills have been getting larger,
and he has also noticed that his re
pair shop has been busy, the average
being one crippled car a week.
He knew that orders had been is
sued before to stop joy riding, but it
did not stop chauffeurs, so Mr. Rocke
feller has placed a man in charge of
the gasoline at Pocantico Hills, As
each car goes out it is provided with
Just enough gasoline to make the trip,
and the mileage figures on tha
speedometer must bhe turned in every
night.
The chauffeurs might slip the
speedometer out of gear temporarily,
but they are double-checked with a
gasoline supply. If they want to sile
any farther than the order calls so-,
they must do it with gasoline bought
at their own expense. Mr, Rocke
feller figures that they won't do that

New York Magistrate Fixes the
'
Height Limit at Which Dresses
May Be Worn,
SHORTER GOWNS JAR PEACE
Judge Declares Then Is Time for‘
J{aw to Interfere With the
Dressmaker.
By RUTH M. BYERS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4—"“A woman
may wear her skirts up to her knees.
That is her own affair. Higher than
that—well, that is a matter for the
law.”
This gem of legal wisdom was
handed down by Magistrate Koenig.
Not that he spoke officially. He read
{ly admitted it was a question of
ethics, this disturbing problem of how
long & woman’s skirts should be. But
he did add with true masculine per
spicacity:
“l consider the knee the hlghestl
limit of ‘proper exposure. The fash
fonable skirt limit is nine inches from
the ground, I suppose. You see, I am ‘
keeping well within the law.”
Then I teld ‘the magistrate that
Dame Fashion nowadays was wink
ing in gay unconcern at the twelve
inch limit. Yea, even fourteen, if one
were young and pretty enough. Trim,
high Russian boots of stunning black
patent leather, and even white leather,
finish off the daring up-to-date cos
tume.
| When Police May Interfere.
| The Judge smiled as he listened.
"'That is entirely out of my jurisdic
tion,” he declared. “Any woman may
dress as she pleases, provided she
does not attract undue attention. But
{f her costume causes a curious crowd
|to collect in admiring excitement—
rthen tne police must interfere. Much
'depends on the ‘intent.” That's more
la legal than a dressmaking term.
! “Don’t disturb lge peace,” the mag
istrate spoke quile judicially, *“and
You can wear anything you please.
Lots of women disturb masculine
peace of mind as well as feminine
envy by their clothes. But certainiy
the law has no right to interfere.
“Last June,” the judge continued,
“a woman came to me. She wvanted a
young woman arrested. The latter
wore her skirts too short, the com
plainant said. Her husband had no
ticeq it, and —well, the wife wanted a
court reprimand for the girl and an
injunction for her future dressmaking
designs.” L
Judge Koenizg has a sense of hu
mor. His anewer to the woman wWas |
characteristic and to the point.
“l told her,” he said, “the courts|
and dressmakers should try to work
In harmony, and that the exposure nl’l
a woman's leg from the knee down
was of no interest to the bar.” I
How the Trouble Started. ,

proper length of a woman's skirt

court Thelr skirts were too high. |
The policemen who arrested them ad- 4‘
mitted that. But they were only men
out for a pleasant evening, so a coms
plaint of disorderly conduct w'n{
charged against them. They paid A
$3 fine and were hastily dismissed. ‘
“All this Is very interesting, though,
the magistrate declared in dhwuaulm('
the case. “There Is a certaln moral
ity for every community In the k'nd
of clothes women wear, Women have
more influence than they realize In
this matter Men like well-dressed
women, but they are keen to detect

DALLAS, TEXAS, Dec¢. 4.—Texas
has caught up the losses of the past
vear. Texas has produced the 1915
crop on 60 per cent of the credit ordi
narily extended. Texasg has raised its
own feed for the first time since the
war between the States,
With the great 1914 cotton crop a
drug on the market and practically all
sacrificed at a price which bore no
relation to the cost of production,
with the debts of 1914 unpaid and the
production of the 1915 crop to be
financed, the Texas farmer has risen
nobly to the call for rigid thrift and a
home-grown living sent out by the
Texas Industrial Congress, the Texas
bankers, the press and the other
agencies, and has saved himself and
the business of the State.
Texas {8 now in as good condition
as though 1914 and 1915 had been two
average years—and this with the 1914
cotton crop representing a heavy loss
and the 1915 crop short, poor in qual
ity and bringing only a fair price.
Threa thousand correspondents of
the Texas Industrial Congress, includ
ing bankers, publishers and commer

county of the State--men personally
acquainted with local conditione in a
business way-—have given specific in.
