* NORTH LIGHTS
GIVE CUPID AID
LOS ANGESLES, Dec. G.—The au
rora borealis, popularly known as the
Northern Lights, brought Orcella
Rexford a husband and induced her
to live in Alaska instead of Los An
geles, where she is now on a visit.
It was while making color tests
with the rays of the aurora that she
met Dr. Gayne V. Gregory, a dentist.
She showed him human emotions are
suspectible to color. Now they are
married following a series of thrilling
adventures, including snowstorms,
runaway dogs and hair-breadth es
capes in glacier scaling—all within the
Arctic Circle.
* fMrs. Gregory is called the “aurora
uorealis bride” by the Eskimos. She
makes the prediction that man will
be able to project his thought and
emotions by means of color flashes as
soon as he learns how to use his en
docrine glands properly and that these
communications of telepathy will be
made as easily as the human voice is
now transferred by radio. The auro,
she believes, is the psychic auro of
the earth.
She convinced the skeptical young
dentist that emotions are influenced
by color by having him surround him
self with red at his office. The lights
were red, there were red curtains at
the windows, red walls, and Dr. Greg
ory wrore a red sweater. At the end
of the day he was ready to quarrel
w'ith his best patients. A green color
scheme restored his equinamity.
It was while Dr. and Mrs. Gregory
w*ere ascending Mt. McKinley to ob
tain a better view' of the Northern
Lights that they nearly met death in
a snow' storm. They crossed three
glaciers, nearly fell into one of them,
and had to vibrate for hours on a
narrow' ledge where there was a bare
foothold.

John Fiske’s Grandson
Is Willing To Be Slave
BOSTON, Dec. 22.—An advertise
ment headed “Slave,” which appeared
in newspapers under the head of "Sit
uations wanted,” led to the discovery
yesterday that Grover Flint, a grand
son of John Fiske, historian, and son'
of Grover Flint, author, was the sub
ject.
“Male, 24 (white) sound, intelli
gent, gentle; belonged to aristocratic
family; leased by the year, $1,000,”
the advertisements read in part.
Flint said he spent $15,000 last
year. Depending on an aunt at Pet
ersham, whose estate he imagined
would be left to him, he learned after
her death, that it was willed to a
cousin of his, he said.
