The other evening after Mrs. Ar- thur Iason, who is 76 years old, and her three daughters had retired for the night they were startled to hear chords struck on the piano| down stairs, and simultaneously | hieard sounds as if of furniture be- ing moved about. | Describing her spooky experience | g Miss Alice Eason, one of the daugh- | A P> ters, told a reporter: 4 “We had been in bed about half an hour when we heard a chord struck on the piano, immediately followed by the whining and scratehing of Tony, our little fox ter- rier who sleeps in the front room. | “Then to our alarm two more chords were struck. “I was oo scared to move, but one of my sisters went down to | investigate. The room was empty, | but the dog was trembling visibly.” | According to Mrs. Eason the notes | heard were similar to those which | used to be played by her blind| brother, who died two years ago, | and who was for many years organ- | ist at the local Wesleyan church. ‘m not psychle, and I don't be- | lieve in ghosts,” said Mrs. Eason. “It | was certain that the sounds had | Leen caused by some practical joker, | #nd the next day 1 set out to find | who had broken into our house and | played the plano.

Chicago, March 29 (UP)—If you can't save a soul in 20 ininutes, you can’t save it, according to a con- sensus of Chicago ministers. Radio sermons and efficiency of modern theological training com- bined with modern demands of speed, have combined to make the limit of the most effective sermon one-third o fan hour, the ministers generally were agreed. Rev. Howard R. Brinker, rector of 8t. Bartiholomew's church, said he believed no souls were saved after & 20-minute talk. “If a minister can't do his mis- ston in 20 minutes,” he satd, I don't belleve he ever can.” Dr. H. P. Almon Abbott, rector of 8t. Chrysostom's and nationally known as a speaker, diffcred from the majority in setting a limit, how- ever, He said that a pastor should talk as long as his sermon was in- teresting. He lhimself preaches from 23 to 5 minutes. Ride Bicycle on Tee To Catch and Kill Fox Stocikholm, March 29 (UP)—Fox hunting on bicycle across the ice of a lake is the latest inkle in Swedish winter sports. This hap- pened recently in the province of Vermland when three boys from the small community of Lysvik saw a fox dart from the woods and set out over the frozen water of Lake Fryken. Hurrying for their bicycles, they started in pursuit over the smooth ice. The fox ran for his life, but the lads were speedier d about a kilometer from the shore, they aught up with him and killed him. For their alertness they -were re- warded with one hundred crowns from the local forestry warden, A SPRING HOUSEHOLD HELP To remove wall paper dissolve 1-4 pound of pulverized saltpetre in 1 gallon of water.
