ROME, March 31.—A new role for
the cross-word puzzle has been dis
covered. It is being used by lone
ly American and English travelers in
Europe as a means of finding fellow

The English-speaking exile eats his
solitary meal in a foreign restaurant,
opening in front of him his news
paper despite the disapproving looks
of the natives. He looks about him

Prize Offered to Medium
Who Stands Acid Te?l
BOSTON, March , 31.—The sum of
$5,000 is awaiting the medium who,
under certain conditions, will dem
onstrate supernormal material phe
nomena; the occurrences must be
bona fide and due to a force not pi*e
viously known to science. This an
nouncement will appear in the April
number of the “Journal of Abnormal
and Social Psychology,” which lists
as follows the members of the com
mittee to carry out the investigation.
Harlow Shapely Paine, professor of
practical astronomy at Harvard Uni
versity and director of the Harvard
Observatory; Theodore Lyman, pro
fessor of physics at Harvard and di
rector of the Jefferson Physical Lab
i oratory; Dr. Walter B. Cannon, pro
fessor of physiology at the Harvard
Medical School; Dr. L. T. Troland,
assistant professor of psychology at
Harvard, and Harry Houdini.
The Journal stipulates various con
ditions, among which are the follow
ing; The medium must cooperate
with the committee; there shall be
no trickery; the phenomena must be
visible, produced in full light and
subjected to instrumental recording,
measuring and testing; any medium
wishing to compete must present evi
| dence of production of phenomena
worthy of investigation, and the
award must be made by the unani
mous vote of the committee.
The Journal takes this step with
the hope of stimulating the search
for truth and bringing alleged super
normal phenomena within the domain
of scientific research.

If I Had Only
Known
TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen
sive labor-saving device for the home.
One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her Triends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing lesj, but of much more
value. i
“If I had only known thereJvas a better one,”
the first woman said, “I wouldiiever have bought
this old one.” I
“I had just read about it in In advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer. ’
Every day you miss good news of an improve
ment in different articles of merchandise—unless
you read our advertisements. They tell you of prac
tically every worth-while invention—-of every pro
gress from the old to the new.
Read the advertisements—regularly. Know all
about the thing you are going to buy before you buy
it. It will save you disappointment, money and time.
THE BETTER A PRODUCT IS—THE SOONER
YOU WILL SEE IT ADVERTISED
