I have just been advised the rent will be ralsed to $50 in October, 1920, Is there any advantage in sign. ing a lease, and how long does the 26 per cent. increase remain without be- ing raised? The landlord wants me to sign a lease under this new rent, Do you think the ease is fair? Answer: ‘Th ase is presumed to be fair. wich to defeat it you must prove your landlord's ex- penses do not justify him in asking that much, It is an advantage to have a lease these days—get ‘one for ag long as you can, Court rulings in rent increases hold until the follow- ing October. A, E—In April, 1919, f paid $40 a month and in May of the same year was increased $5; in September $5 more. I have received no more in- creases, but I am informed that I am to be raised 25 per cent. I would like to know whether the law spect- fles a 25 per cent. increase each year. Answer: The law does not provide for any tnereases whatever. . It merely presumes what irfcreases shall be fair and w hall be unfair. If upheld. Offer your landlord $32.50 and suck to it until you get @ ruling from a court. C. C. T.—I rented my apartment in 1918 for $28, and during 1919 I was raised to $38.50 and received a written notice the rent would be that amount for the coming year. In April, 1920, he tried to raise me to $60.50, but I showed him his written agreement and Jcontinued to pay the $38.50, which is good until Octuber this year. He has told me I must sign a lease not later than July 1 for a 25 per cent, increase for the following year. I 1gnored the demand. He has ordered me Jout in thirty days. Must I do lhave not refused to pay the increas , Answer—Do not go until you get a lorder from the court ling to pay the 25 per cent, increase, it hardly makes any difference when you sign your lease.

G. W ALE OWE Vicar of Orford, 9 Lancashire, England { EXT Sunday, and each weekday morning thereafter, The World ' will, for a number of days, print a series of the most remarkable so-called ‘Messages From Beyond the Grave”’ that have ever oy published. j They purport to have been received by the Rev. G. Vale Owen, who . ‘is Vicar of Orford, Lancashire, England, and were first brought to public notice by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a speech at Leicester, England, on » Oct. 19, 1919, when, replying to criticism of his views on spiritualism which . had been made at the Church Congress a few days before, he said: i‘ “In Mr. Vale Owen, the Vicar of Ortord, are to'be found the highest powers of automatic writing possessed by any medium in Britain. “T have read in script a long and detailed account of the next world ‘written by Mr. Vale Owen’s hand through the impulse of a spiritual guide, and I can only say that it is one of the most remarkable and inspiring nar- ‘ratives I have ever encountered.” Sir Arthur concluded by expressing the hope that “the manuscript would soon be available for all the world,” adding that in his belief-“t could not fail to produce a profound sensation.” Needless to say The World does not guarantee that the “messages” written by the Rev. G. Vale Owen were “actually dictated” by the spirits ‘of his mother and others who had died; it has no opinion to offer on this point; but the documents afe of a character so different from everything else of the kind that has previously appeared and are in themselves so ex- traordinary that they prove of the most absorbing interest. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who is a declared spiritist, said of them in a recent letter: “It is the most remarkable and interesting script, the highest that I have ever seen, and I have seen a great many. It is so important, and gives such splendid reading, that it should be printed in good large type, and if the publisher needed a guarantee against loss 1 would be willing to join others for a stated sum.” The Rev. G. Vale Owen, who asserts that he received the remarkable “spirit” messages, is a clergyman of the Church of England, devoted to his parish and completely absorbed in his work. i “During April and May, 1913,” he states, “my wife was constrained by an influence independent of her wishes to take a pencil in her hand and write what was put in her mind. _ “This she did, and it soon became apparent that a band of people were g to communicate. In time they were able to get through messages a more or less consecutive character. “Among these were repeated invitations that I should sit in like manner, “I disregarded these, as I had not only no desire to comply with them but an aversion to doing so. “During the ensuing months, however, a steady mental pres- sure was applied to me, which I shook off, only to find it return, * “Tt was gentle and kindly, but quite steady and cumulative in force. Tfelt that friends yere at hand who wished very carnestly to speak with me, Whatever one may think of the “revelations”—whether they be, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believes, genuine messages dictated by the spirits of those who have “passed over,”’ or merely the outpourings of the subcon- scious mind of a highly imaginative [:piscopalian minister who has fed himself on Dante and Milton and Virgil and the Holy Scriptures and studied a certain amount of modern science--they are an important contribution to the literature of Spiritism. For they present what purports to be beyond the grave.” Readers of the series will observe that in the early stages of the “worlds to come”’the greater part of the conditions more closely resemble those of earth than’of the transcendental state generally pictured as that of a future life. i .Familiar things are seen and done; the range of ideas and method of ' expression are easily recognizable as those of many of our everyday friends. According to Mr. Vale Owen, as we pass beyond the earlier stages, so do the conditions of earth become more remote and those of the higher worlds more wonderful and glorious, just as those of the lower become more grim, And those who find in the earlier messages too great an insistence on exe ternals, on what might be called the machinery of the organizations, are bidden to wait until the full story is told. Through all, so far as these alleged messages permit us to see, the individual persists; the man or woman, however ultimately transfigured, derives directly from the being who was on earth, The Vicar always followed the writing as it flowed from his pencil, and in that way was able to interpose questions, here and there, which were immediately answered, and often the nature of the replies surprised him greatly. Some eminent clergymen and many psychic investigators in England } who have read Mr. Vale Owen’s messages claim that one of the chief features | of the entire narrative is its orthodox nature. It does not. wander into theosophical speculations. ‘They consider that the principles of Christian- ity and the ethics of Church teachings are observéd throughout the script, although there are in many cases rather different viewpoints of the life hereafter from those usually accepted. ‘This, of course, is a matter of opinion, “a full description of the world REV.

So, unless prevented by other business, I sat in my cassock in the vestry daily after evensong—that is, from about 5.15 P. M. to from 6.0 to 6.30 P. M., or thereabouts. ee “On Sept. 9, 1913, the experiment was not very successful; the writing was disjointed and scrappy. On Sept. 13 it began to take a more consecu- tive form, and so continued until Jan. 2, 1914. “During the daytime I dismissed the matter from my mind as far as possible, and so went to any sitting free of any premeditated ideas. There were, in this period, 78 sittings, and the average rate of writing was 24 words @ minute,” h fiw '
