Blue Is Soothing To avoid disastrous “date nights" and the dangerous atmosphere of too much red, which {rritates eligible young men, the sponsors of “etiquette’” suggest that blue has a soothing effect on a young man, “and leads him on” in a nice way.

SPIRIT WRITING IS ADJUDGED A TRICK Scientific American Not Con- vinced of “Spooks” New York, Oct, 20.—Clever substi- tution by sleight of hand methods of cards on which “spirit” writings previously had been prepared was charged to the Rev, Josie K. Stewart, pastor of the First Independent church of Cleveland, in attempting to prove herself a medium who re- celves psychic messages {rom the be- yond, by the committec that ex- amined Mrs, Stewart in four seances after she had applied for the prize offered b ythe Scientific American for the production of objective psychic phenomena. As a result Mrs. Stewart will not receive the prize, although, according to a member of the committee, she left New York yesterday noon co fident of getting the money. The re- port was made public last night in the Sciegtific American office by J. Mal- com Bird, assoclate editor and secre- tary of the sub-committee that ex- amined Mrs. Stwart. ‘While the committee does not go so far as to brand Mrs. Steward a fraud, the report reads: “Mrs. Stewart undertook to produce for the Scientific American investigat- ing committee independent spirit writ- ings upon cards supplied by the com- mittee, The sub-committee in charge of Mrs, Stewart's sittings finds that she had failed to do this. She has produced writings only on cards brought to the sitting by her and sub- stituted by her for those supplied by | | | to the award and to the committee's further attention stands vacated.” Not until the fourth seance, held on the lawn at the home of Mrs. Ned Wayburn, Bayside, Tuesday, did Mrs, Stewart say she had become in touch with the spirits and produced the cards, written in hellotrope and gold ink, purported to be messages f{roin ghost land. The three other sittings had not produced results, AL the first sitting 49 cards, about 3 by b inches, had peen given to her. The committee sald that at the close of the sitting only 44 cards were re- turned. At the . second sitting the committee gave Mrs, Stewart the 44 cards, but she threw out 11 and tore them to bits, saying they were soiled and worthless. This apparently left 33 cards, but at the close of the sitting only 26 cards were returned. The torn fragments of the discarded cards, gathered and carefully weighed by the committee, were equal to only eight, Mr. Bird said, instead of 11, the number apparently thrown out. Nor did the cards balance again in the third seance. All the cards had been marked se- cretly, but Mr. Bird believed Mrs. Stewart discovered the marking. How- ever, before the fourth sitting the ards given to Mrs, Stewart for the expected spirit writings were slightly trimmed at one cdge, so there were three lengths of ¢ s in the pack, The trimming hardly was noticeable when the cards had been <huffled, - Extra Carvds ¥ound. At the fourth sitting Mrs. Stewart sat at a table, tore up some flowers that were before her and sprinkled the petals throughout the pack, While she talked rapidly of various things she held the cards over her own head and over the heads of others. Some she threw on a flower bed. Kventual- ly she produced the cards with the writing. | But when the committee arranged | the cards as to their proper lr:ngn\.i there were four slzes instead of three | and, according to Mr. Bird, the five Sve of our cards and obiained fre oiher which she previousy prepared with the writiag, and by & clever trick inseried them inte the pack.
