Does it mean that for ten months Mrs. Houdini held back from the world a message which she mightwensupposetobeofthemost tremendous interest and importance? Oristhereanythinginthestoryof the proposed lecture tour? “Sir Arthur said the word was left to Mrs. Houdini by the magician as a test of the authenticity of spiritualism. “He said the word was received in a test held under the presidency of the New York spiritualism Arthur Ford. He said the word was communicated through a control known as ‘Fletcher’. “ ‘I understand the experiment is not yet quite complete, but that much has been fulfilled: Sir Arthur said.” Does this mean that Ford occupied “London. March 5.â€"(UP)â€"â€"Sir Ar- thur Conan Doyle announced today that he had received word from the widow of Harry Houdini that she had received a prearranged code word from her late husband. So the evidence is far from conclu- sive to the sceptic though spiritists will no doubt seize on it hopefully and we may be prepared in the future to read that here at least was one ab- solutely authentic message, which, of course, it is not. We are rather as- tonisted that the astute Houdini did not take greater care to prevent fraud. If he had himself written the word unknown to anybody, and sealed it in a vault, any theory of mind reading or mental telepathy would have been impossible. Now there are a score of possible explanations, including the ugly one made by the tabloid news- paper. The key word itself is not such a strange word, especially in this connection, that it might not have been hit upon in one of a hundred or thousand guesses. Moreover, we still remain in the dark supposing, for the sake of argument. that this word came through as reported. If a friend ven- tures into an unknown country, if one certainly know$ that he is gone. one does not expect him to send back a mes- sage “I'm here”. What one wants to know is “What‘s it like?” An Odd Coincidence There is another coincidence to be explained. Ten months before Mrs. Houdini says that she received the message. New York newspapers carried the following despatch: age from Houdini came through. It addressed Mrs. Houdini by a pet name used by her husband. and then there came a communication in code. When decod'editturnedouttobetheword “believe" which Mrs. Houdini says was the word agreed upon by her and her husband. This word had been written out by Mrs. Houdini, who herself had sealed it in an envelope and placed it in a vault. At once it is suggested that the word might have been extracted from her by mental telepathy, al- though we are not prepared to say thereissuchathingasmindreading. It is, however, a little easier to be- lieve than spiritism. There is also the possibility that Mrs. Houdini may have mentioned the word in her sleep. as to Spell out anything he desires without attracting the attention of an audience. It is, in fact, a trick known to Houdini and accessible to anyone who reads his own books. , togiveherthetenwordcodewhich her husband had left... She consented andArthmFordturnedup. Hewent intoatranoeandhisastmlspiritwas at ‘onoe taken possession of by There are other means by which this secret might have escaped her un- aware. The code itself was one used by Mr. and Mrs. Houdini in a mind reading act, and consists of the words “answer”, “ten”, “pray” and “100k,” which an actor can use in his patter so brilliant husband had completed that task.

We have seen men who were roamâ€" ers, who never went home until every otherplaoewasclosedupunderthe regime of Mrs. No. 1, become as dom- wtic as the house out under the sway of Mrs. No. 2, and we have wondered whether it was remorse for the way two couples in a rural community have solved the. problem of how to be happy though married . by swapping partners. The A’s, it seems, lived together like the traditional Kilkenny ‘cats. The B’s home life was a perpetual free-tor- all fight. In both households every in a similar position, so Mrs. A moved over to Mr. 3’5 with bag and baggage and babies, and Mrs. B took a job in Mr. A’s kitchen, and all, even the children, are tickled to death over the new arrangement. This little story is sordid or tragic, shocking or pathetic, as you look at it, but it very vividly illustrated one of the vagaries of matrimony, and that is that husbands and wives are purely a matter of taste, and whether marriage is a success or failure depends not on what they are, but on whether they agree with each other. We have abundant proof that the happiness of a marriage depends alto- gether on whether a man and wo- man are temperamentally suited to each other, rather than on their vir- tues, in the fact that so many second man-iages are happier than the first one was. We have all seen men who during their first wife’s lifetime were surly, grouchy, stingy, ill-conditioned brutes, turn into jovial, good-natured, word was a fighting word. Neither husband nor wife could make a move without starting something. Finally, the two inhartnonious ‘ In fact, so successful has it proved that there is to be a wholesale getting of divorces and marriage licenses, and the exchange of hquands is to be made permanent. There are thousands upon thousands of married people who are utterly mis- erable themselves, and who make each other’s lives a hell on earth, who would be happy and contented, and perfect- ly good husbands and wives to some other woman and man than the ones to whom they are united. There is nothing the matter with them intrin- sically. Thy are decent, kindly, well- meaning people, but they just can’t hit it off with the ones to whom they are married. They are utterly uncongen- ial, unsympathetic. They never under- stand each other, and everything each of them does rubs the other the wrong way. The ability of two people to get along together is just as much a per- sonal idiosyncrasy as whether they can eat certain foods or not. There are those to whom shellfish is poison- ous. Others on whom strawberries bring out a rash. Still others who grow dyspeptic on bread and butter. It is the same with husbands and wives.

Attempts on the part of promoters to secure control of the telephone system have failed because the American holding of the company’s shares has been inthe hands of men who are interested in the telephone business for the progress of the induct and not for its financial exploitation.
