10 SIR HI HOPES ; FOR ANOTHER VISIT Glorious Voyage Home Ends Adventure. REGRET FELT AT LEAVING Conan Doyle Sorry He Is Forced to Refuse Calls Made by j Jarge Cities of West. . Our American Adventure, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Copyright by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, IDE!, for the United States and Great Britain. Released by .North American Newspaper Alliance.) ARTICLE XIV. I had a long talk in New York with Colonel Firth, who is one of the world pioneers of radio work, which is evidently going to be a great factor in the future life of the world. He explained to me that this system ot broadcasting, by which anyone who has an efficient receiver can get all the concerts, operas, sermons or. lectures which are sent out, is going to make an enormous difference to the lonely farmers who here and in Canada form so considerable a part of the population. With no wires and no expense save the initial receiver, they can keep in direct touch with all that is going on, and also receive market prices, weather reports and everything else that is needful. Colonel Firth was about t pre sent a set to every lighthouse keep er along the coast,- and I only hope that our government will follow suit. He informs me that though the public radio craze has not yet broken out with us to the same ex tent as here, we are none the less in a technical sense very well up in radio work, the best values which intensify sound coming from Eng land. How far the sound is magni fied is determined by the number of these valves, and Colonel Firth mentioned as a fact within his knowledge that the British fitted up a receiver so delicate that from the coast they could get all the lit tle German trench installations which were 6nly meant to carry a mile or so. The British also had a system of range finders by which they could determine the exact po sition of any German submarine if the submarine ventured to send out a wireless. Many of their boats were detected and destroyed by this method. Mr. Marconi In New York. Mr. Marconi was in New York then with his yacht, the Electra. He tells how, in the Mediterranean last year, he intercepted wireless waves of a length of 130,000 meters,, which is far above any power in this world. He was ready, in a half serious way, to discuss their prigin as from Mars. I ventured to write to him and to point out that as we had ample evidence of disembodied life, and as it seemed to exist in the ether, which is the basis of wire less, it would surely be much more likely that these messages were experimental attempts from our own agencies who have passed over than that they are from another planet. I have a hope that the near future may prove whether I am not right. Our last days in New York were clouded by the news of the death of an old friend, fellow cricketer and brother author, Hesketh Prich ard, as fine a specimen of British manhood as our island could show. His overwork in the war and the illness which he contracted at the front brought about his premature end. Hex, as all his friends called him, was the most gentle and lov able of giants, but his great hobby had been the use of the rifle, which had caused him to embark upon many heavy game excursions. At the beginning of the trench war fare we were quite overcrowded by the German snipers, who were all trained shots, furnished with spe-J viai rmes ana telescopic sights. Prichard found an opening for his special knowledge and, going to France, he instituted the first sniping school, which grew into a large organization with many off shoots. He had most elaborate methods and dodges, and in the early days if any German sniper was reported as very formidable and invulnerable he would go off and deal with him himself. The result of his labors was that we finally completely beat the German snipers and established supremacy along the line. When he was e-iven the D. S. O. it was said of him that he had probably done the enemy more damage than any other Englishman in the field. Six feet four, with the eimple spirit of a schoolboy, and the courage of a lion, a grand bowler, a fine writer, a great patriot, it was a loss to England when he passed away. Psychic Drawings Inspected. I have been to several exhibitions of psychic drawings since I have been in this country, the latest Being a series of pencil sketches by Mrs. Field of Chicago. I have also in England examined many of these drawings through the hands' of vari ous mediums, most of whom aver that under normal conditions they ara unable to draw a line. Surely this phenomenon must arrest the at tention of the most conservative and prejudiced of our opponents. Here, in the case of Mrs. Field, is a middle class woman with no particular claims to erudition or culture. She finds that at certain times she has an irresistible impulse to draw strange pictures which are clearly of deep symbolic -meaning, and which Include Eastern dresses, Egyptian symbols, the sacred fish, the etheric body and all sorts of things which never come withfh the range of her ordinary knowledge. - How- stupid it is to ignore "such patent phenomena as those. One may well argue that they are subcon scious, that they are the work of a Beconaary personality, or In any other way camouflage our ignorance but even so they are objective things and therefore of more value than all the fine-drawn theories of the:, psychologists. The only argu ment that I know for thein- spirit origin is that the drawings are not infrequently accompanied by auto matic writing which makes this claim. In a recent case a Brooklyn man, seized suddenly with the picture-drawing power, asked whence It proceeded. The written answer was, "I am Joseph Sassemy" I may be inaccurate in the name. On re ferring to books he found that the man was really a Viennese artist of distinction who died a generation or so back. There have been many such cases and the evidence is really veTy strong, as would be at once recognized if this subject were not surrounded by so many prejudices and prejudgments. We were due to leave America by the Adriatic on June 24, and our time was drawing to a close. It has been, a glorious experience and a BUILDING OF NEW HOME NEED NOT BE POSTPONED BECAUSE OF BAD WEATHER There Are Reasons .Why It Is Better to Go Ahead With Construction Spring. 1 1 wntannm.xrrrw.- , BY ANITA DE CAMPI. ALTHOUGH fall days are now upon us, there is nq need to postpone until next year the construction of the new home which has been contemplated. On the con trary, there are many reasons why it is better for the prospective home owner to go ahead with his plans at once, before heavy and penetrating frosts set in. In the first place, the rush to com, plete buildings for October leases is over; builders are less busy; ,there are more to select from, and their bids show the effect of competition. They also are able to give contracts more individual attention. It is quite prbbable thatXhe construction will take less time than it would in the spring or early summer when contractors are usually over whelmed with orders. Instead of scattering their forces on a great many houses (because of the clamor for action) they-can concentrate a full quota of men on each Job, give each closer supervision and expedite the work. Then, again, when work is slack they are more inclined to take or ders for new buildings at a lower figure, in order to keep the select men in their organization together as long as possible. - I Prices Arc Going l'p. . -Building should not be left till next year with the expectation that prices of building materials will be lower. On the contrary, the boost-1 ing of coal prices due to the recent strike, is now felt all along the line, and prices of all materials of construction are already on the rise, to absorb the increased cost . of production. Cold weather is . only a slight physical handicap to construction nowadays. In concrete and stucco work (which is affected most by low temperature) materials such as sand, stone and water are heated so that the concrete will: harden be fore freezing. Subsequent freezing weather will do no harm. Further protection is given new concrete work by canvas covers and portable heaters. Although foundation walls of con crete can be poured in below zero weather, with the above, precautions, it is not advisable to apply cement stucco exteriors under these (Condi tions, and these should therefore, be rushed to completion before that time. Cement stuccoing should be done only when it is known before hand that the temperature will not likely drop below freezing. When there is even the slightest chance of a drop in temperature the work WUUUCI1UI piniicftc ma, jl oiiumu be chosen to bring, back a fuller recognition of this great revelation to the very land which God had chosen for its original reception. It may seem that I have exag gerated the success- of my efforts, and there are always opponents who are ready to decry our results, so I beg that the reader will not set it down as self-glorification if I include the following letter: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ambassa dor Hotel, Park Avenue and 51st Street, New York City. Dear Sir Arthur: Before your departure from America permit me to congratulate you upon the re sults of your lecture tour, which was . a pronounced success from every, point of view. The thousands of Americans who crowded our largest halls bore elo quent testimony to the esteem in which you are held as an exponent of spiritualism, and the satisfaction they expressed as they left the halls furnished concrete proof of your effectiveness irr- presenting your theme. Your voice reached dis tinctly to all parts of .the spacious auditorium your platform presence was magnetic and your delivery forceful and convincing. In speaking seven times on the same subject in the largest halls in greater New York within the brief period of less than one month you broke all lecture records, and even eclipsed records of the greatest liv ing musicians. Faithfully yours, ' LEE KEEDICK. There is no need why I should hesitate to give some actual ma terial results. Our expenses were naturally very heavy, since we were a party of seven traveling over long distances and living In hotels which were necessarily central and there fore expensive. Lecture halls were also exceedingly expensive. None the less, I cleared in two months of actual work all these heavy ex penses and I shall be disappointed if I do not find at the end that I have a clear 1500 which I can de vote to the various spiritual bodies in England or to the help of those Individuals who are giving valuable service with little renumeration to our cause. Therefore, even in the lower material sense, the trip has been a great success. Adventure Is Brought to End. It was a great pleasure to us to find that the captain of the Adriatic was David, formerly captain of the Megantic, in which we had returned in 1914 from Canada. Little did the poor man think as we made that pleasant July voyage together of what was Immediately in store for him, and that he was about to be precipitated into a frightful war In the course of which his vessel was twice Blown to pieces under, bis ssli jig mIIs I I Jooo t-vins 'M Lpml ' m i 'I 1 '1 "Path JJ L 1 rttD T2M "BED fcVV.ri must be covered and kept warm. By all odds, the best thing to do then is to wait for warmer weather. Inside Work Made Easy. With the walls up and the roof over, it is a simple matter for the windows to be temporarily boarded up and made tight' with building paper. Then, by the aid of stoves or portable heaters, enough heat is available for comfortable working and for preventing frost damage to plastered walls or tile floors. These will take a little longer to dry out than in warm weather, but once dry, all of the inside trim and deco rating can be rushed to completion. The small four-room house Illus trated today, has various unique de sign features which will interest the plan seeker. , It is really small, be ing only 18x27 feet in plan, and be ing two story, is most economically constructed. r An unbroken full expa'nse of the front of the house greets the eye, as the entrance is at the side. This arrangement is advisable for the small home. It leaves an imnres- sion of greater width than if it be I feet. Even now I think we have not sufficiently expressed our grati tude to that glorious merchant navy which turned its hand so easily to war and could not be cowed by anything which the most cruel enemy could devise. And the trawlers, and the drifters, and the sweepers who can ever speak ade quately of the men who manned them. So the day of release came at last, and with many kind friends to see us off we went out to blue summer seas and rest and peace and the great cleanliness of ocean air. The HISTORY OF DEMONSTRATIONS BY PORTLAND'S SCHOOL CHILDREN BEGAN WITH EXHIBI- TION FOR COLONEL ROOSEVELT IN 1903. ' HUMAN FLAG, MADE UP OP SCHOOL CHILDREN IJf 1003 BEFORE . rultll, AS D. , - -' ' Dedication of the Roosevelt equestrian statue on Armistice day brought to the minds of many persons the time when Colonel Roosevelt, then president of the United States, stood in the park block just orth of the one on which the statue stands and reviewed a flag drill bv Portland school children. This drill, put on under the direction of Robert Krohn, physical director of the schools in -1903, was the first public exhibition of school children in Portland. Professor Krohn experienced considerable difficulty in obtaining permission from the committee on arrangements- to take part in the ceremony, the fear being expressed that the children would "mess" the situation. But after the flag drill had been completed, President Roosevelt, standing at the side of Professor Krohn, applauded vigorously and said: "That was a bully exhibition." - - Later in the day he told members of the committee how he had enjoyed the school children's participa tion, and so stronsr wan his annrovai thai in -v.a,.B ttat fniuwcj .nt.n.1 n.jMw. .i,n i i . - participate la various function Now Than to Wait Till Coming cut up by a front porch and entrance.

The dining table and chairs are ordinarily placed at one side, except when guests are expected. This provides a living room considerably larger than those in average apartments. A generous fireplace, with a raised hearth, is a center of attraction for the room. On a chilly evening its radiant heat sends a glow of com fort, making the home cheery in deed. - Convention is discarded in plac ing -the dining table close to the en trance.

OUTLOOK SEEMS BETTER Lloyd George's Fall Lessens Feel ing ot Irritation, Against' -British Policy. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to the United States. (Copyright, 1822. by The Oregonian.) PARIS', Nov. 18. (Special Cable.) For three years there has been a constant feeling of irritation against the British policy throughout France. Lloyd George's fall rather lessened it, and today the dominant senti ment is that the entente must be re-cemented through sincere, and complete discussion of all matters at issue. Those who, like Matin, let loose most furiously against Britain today are reproaching Polncare.for not going far enough toward meet ing Bonar Law's, Curzon's and Derby's overtures toward an under standing. It is a significant symp tom. The chamber at its recent session weakened Poincare appreciably. The premier by refusing again to repu diate the radical socialists, who so often -vote with the communistic socialists, profoundly annoyed the republican liberal majority. If Lau sanne were not already set for the November 20 meeting, yesterday might have meant the end of the cabinet. ' 0 Future Is Uncertain. Men who have always been faith ful to the premier in his difficulties are getting tired of his flirting with the left bloc, which so often betrayed him. The great majority now are ready to insist that in return for eo-operation Poincare really repre sent it in the chamber and before the country. The cabinet crisis in Germany and the English election results empha size that Europe is facing an un known future. May order and firm ness prevail. That is the only way to prepare for that collaboration which Hard ing's last message mentions. What can we say about that Lausanne conference? It is an nounced that everybody is in agree ment on the course to be taken, yet the English and the French Dresses for the past week have emphasizedt the Franco-British tension, which hardly promises well for common action. Turk Danger Not Averted. , The principal obstacle , between France and England Is Curzon's idea that the powers should' adopt to ward the Turks the same attitude they took toward Germany in 1919, namely, peace conditions agreed on in advance by the allies and imposed on the adversary. Unfortunately there are two conditions lacking for such a procedure. - First, there is France's attitude since the Angora accord of 1921 and Poincare's present position today of seeming opposition toward any prior allied agreement; secondly, the allies seem to have no political or military means of . imposing t-heir terms. Consequently Kemal would seem to be in a' good position at Lausanne to blackmail the allies. That is the great danger and it does not seem to have been averted. English, Freneh Views Differ. Moreover, it is obvious that Eng land and France do not see the Turkish happenings of the last fort night with the same eyes. Kemal's repeated and provocative statements that Angora wants conditional peace, his offensive against the capitulation and allied occupation of the straits, and Constantinople, added to the Turkish persecution of Europeans and Christians, has pro duced a lively reaction in England. There the question is raised, what is the use of Lausanne if the Turks are to settle all questions before hand by force? On the other hand, the Quai d'Orsay has concealed or belittled those reports and Poincare's cham ber speech of November 10, after copiously criticising the previous English government, did not have a single word against Kemal. This difference of attitude casts doubt on the agreement announced in the press which everybody here desires. This desire for an agreement Is worth nothing.
