Business and prosperity inâ€" erease twice as rapidly as population. We should be grateful. | It is romantic, refreshing and inâ€" teresting to have one of them resume business at the old stand in these days of radios, automobiles, and newspaâ€" pers. It is said, however, that‘ the voice ‘of . Milwaukee‘s Beelzebub indiâ€" eated irritation and a feeling that times are not what they were in the good old days, 4 7‘ , The fiend promised #to leave the woman at 2 o‘clock that afternoon, but did not acutally leave until halfâ€" past 5, which is about what you would expect of a demon. The woman then relaxed and is getting better. < This miracle, not as yet vouehed for by church authorities, was an everyday occurence in the middle ages, when demons were more active, ?Nu and efficient than at presâ€" ‘ ts 4 Milwaukee supplies an account of miraculous : exorcism, believed by many, deeply religious, to have been the actual driving out of a.devil from the body of an unfortunate insane woman. I â€" The account of the miracle runs as follows: A woman whose xt:!nd had become nnbuh;nted was carried to the Chapel of St. Joseph‘s hospital, where the "exorcism ritual" was performed, :' Latin, not understood by the paâ€" nt. ‘ n The question, "Who are you?" was answered, apparently from the throat of the woman in a deep masculine voice, "BEELZEBUB." Asked why he had taken possession of the womâ€" an, Beelzebub replied, "BECAUSE OF MALEDICTION." ; Permanent Marcel a Specialty Divoree and bootlegging, new so easy, simply prove that when you try to regulate human nature, you invite trouble. â€" "The cat will mew and the dog will have his day." "Polygamy is legalized and getting a divorce is as easy as bootlegging," says Mr. Hackenburg, of New York‘s legislature, and he wants easy diâ€" worces from Paris or Remo made ilâ€" | Most encouraging is the pretcfion of Elmer Schlesinger, Louis Levy‘s intellectual and ‘dashing young law partner. Eh:her Schlesinger | says electricity, in this century, will do for the world‘s troubles and debts what steam did for the world in the last century, after Waterloo, Europe and the nations were called "hopelessly" bankrupt. In proportion, their debts were greater than they are today. Steam came and debts were paid with the greatest ease. Instead of bankâ€" ruptcy, Europe knew prosperity such xo one dreamed of. It was so great nlti%l;;.could not resist fighting over it. t steam did for the last century electricity will do for this,. And that is no dream. ‘ Railroads will soon emfi.ffmm steam to electric power, and that will call for twentyâ€"four billion â€" more hours of ‘kilowatt energy, uy? Mr. Insull.

This Week ZIP Treatments given HAIRDRESSING e aonit on k fln ul s hi s hy George Moore has the distinetion in the age of bootlegging, of writing so that the reading of his books beâ€" comes like the sipping of old Port ‘Tabor having extricated himself completely from his old life and havâ€" ing forced his wife to divoree him, sets himself to the task of helping Jennifer to succeed in her career. He becomes a familiar in the stage world and we have some enlivening glimpses both of those who produce and are produced in that realm. But all in twenty four hours the lightning strikes. Tabor finds that his wife is carrying on an acâ€" tive intrigue with a ne‘er do well of great attraction, Lance Fairless, and he is sufficiently disillusioned with life to decide to drown himself.. He is detainedâ€"from this disastrous purâ€" pose by ‘Jennifer Challis, an obscure Broadway actress who has in the past also loved Fairless inot wisely but too well. Jennifer nurses Tabor back to health, then disappears to try her forâ€" tunés once more on the stage. "The book moves on to a dramatic ending,: and the fact that we have foreseen it since the first chapter has notâ€" lessened in the léast our inâ€" terest which is held from the first page to the last." ; GEORGE MOORE‘S INIMITAâ€" ‘ * ABLE GRACE _ ‘ We are chiefly concerned with Taâ€" bor Wynne, an eminently respectable and eminent â€" socially gentleman of Philadelphia, . whose life for forty years has moved with such appalling dullness that he would not if you told him believe what Mr, Vance has in store for him. C Speaking colloquially Louis Joseph Vance has given us a rattling good story in his new novel "White. Fire." Not that it rattles the way a Ford rattles, rather, technically, it glides on the ~very | excellently ballooned tires of Mr. Vance‘s constantly. deâ€" veloping skill. It rattles only in the sense that a fusillade of shots rattle, for the action is factâ€"seduction, near suicide, attempted murder, The most notable spring publishing event will be the long awaited "Coloâ€" nel House‘s Memoirs," which Houghâ€" ton Mifflin on its list and promisâ€" ed for March 5. In a position to know more of the momentous events of the War than almost any man of his time because of his peculiar position of liaison officer, Colonel House kept a detailed diary of his activities of each day. ° It is from these that the story has been written. â€". + A particularly important book for Chicago was published on February 4, Carl Sandburg‘s "Abraham Lincoln the Prairie Years." In it Mr. Sandâ€" burg has given us "the folklore Linâ€" coln, the maker of stories, the staikâ€" ing . and elusive Lincoln." - Even the blind are not safe from "best sellers."â€"‘ *Soundings" by A.

So we are regaled with excellent Character akebcE?‘_u and anecdotes of Yeats and Synge, Lady Gregory, A. E., and Edward Martin, and other of the figures which hold for us an almost legendary interest. And of course we learn more of George Moore than we do . of ~the Irish Theatre. We learn of his years in France,,then, <when art moved to England ot‘ his removal there and the years spent in London, and lastly of. his attempt and failure to follow his mistress Art to his native land. Mr. Moore is one of the rare writâ€" ers whose seat in the Hall of Fame is occupied by himself instead of be> ing preserved jealously for his corpse, wine. There is a suavity, a grace in everything he writes, which, more than with almost any writer of our day, makes "the style the . thing." Let him talk of poets, policemen or of kings and we, if we like this parâ€" ticular ‘type of | literary Port, will listen with equal enchantment. . Mr. Moore has revised "Hail and Farewell" which was first published in 1912, and written a new preface for it, and his publishers have enâ€" cased it‘in two volumes so beautifulâ€" ly printed that from every page the eye receives as much pleasure as the mind ‘and ar. # "South Africa gave the world one great writer in Olive Schreiner.
