This Week > h Arthur Brisbane -f- V The Voice of Edison The Filipino* America, in Japan ? Mrs. Snipes* Baby Doctor Hutchison haa heard the .. voice of Thomas A. Edison, speaking from **the beyond" through a medium. Doctor Hutchison, who was Mr. Edl son's engineer for ten years, says Mr. Edison sent, this, message: "Well. Hutch, 1 hare bad to' revise my Ideas, ?bout life after deatb. I am on the other side of the* river, but I don't know where I am going from here." Doctor Hutchison recognized Edl- j * bou's- voice absolutely, so, we may not doubt that the medium fouhd htm on Che other side of that river. But those that knew Edison for many years would have expected some thing more . exiting and enlightening. iNot one word about bis trip through tbe ether, colder than 400 degrees be low. The senate Joins the house In over ruling President Hoover's veto and. our friends In the Philippines will de cide about separating from their Uncle Sam, with certain restrictions and privileges attached to the separation. The Filipinos will vote, and If they do not approve of the bill passed by congress, their veto will be moru ef fective than that of the President. It will stand and there will be no Im mediate change. In Yokohama the Singer Sewing Ma chine company plant, owned In the United States, temporarily managed by a Canadian and with an English man as permanent manager, Is raided by dissatisfied Japanese workers, all property In reach destroyed. The American ambassador says the police didn't Interfere with th? Jap anese raiders. What interests Americans Is the fact that a Canadian Is sent to arrange labor troubles in Japan for an Amer ican concern In Yokohama, with an Englishman as permanent manager, for American owners. Perhaps, and probably, that Is done because Britain has the reputation of looking after her people In forelgL .lands. A daughter Is born to Mrs. Snipes, sentenced to death for murder before the child's arrival. * Thanks to the governor of South Carolina,1 the woman will not be hanged, and, thanks to public senti ment, she was taken from the prison to a hospital that her child might not bear "the stigma of birth In prison." , Some say the child of a murderess can't possibly amount to anything. But It does not follow. Dlymplas, daughter of King Neo ptolemus, was a Mrs. Snipes on a big scale. There is little doubt that she murdered her husband, Philip of Mac i edonla, to punish him for taking a second, younger wife. She was responsible for many other murders, and when her time came she was executed, In 310 B. C. But never theless and notwithstanding, she was the mother of Alexander the Great. You know that Japanese and Chi nese have heen fighting, in Manchuria with temperature at 40 degrees below aero. You read of a group of Chinese soldiers, 880 of them, found huddled together, trying to keep each other warm, frozen to death, where Jap anese soldiers bad trapped them on a mountain top in southeastern Man churia. War Is not pleasant. By a vote of one the senate dpolded not to adopt the "cloture" which would put a stop to filibustering and enable the senate to proceed with business. Intelligent senators know that filibus tering just now la unwise, and that the members of the "most pleasant club In the world" run the risk of' hav ing their house ruling made over for them by the common people. Those people are getting tired of congres sional talk that means nothing. <jt northern states, New Jersey contains the highest percentage of negro population, but mortality sta tistics show that It will be difficult for the negro race to continue Its In crease. In one district mortality among whites Is 43 per thousand, among the colored men, women and children, 206 per thousand. This seems to offer an opportunity for Important missionary work. Disturbances throughout the world's Interior are added to the world's oth er troubles.

Removal 01 mandate restrictions from Iraq and Its erection into an Independent state, was ojie of the outstanding changes affecting, the world's family of nations during the past year, according to a bulletin from the National Geographic society's head quarters In Washington. Among the other Important changes listed In the summary are the creation of Man choukuo, the setting up of Catalonia as an autonomous unit within the Spanish republic, and the granting of ? a constitution by the king of Slam. "Iraq Is the first of the group of mandated territories established fol lowing the World war to graduate into the group of Independent nations." says the bulletin. "Great Britain gave up all of Its special privileges as hold er of the mandate, and the new state became a full fledged member of the League of Nations. "Following Japanese occupation of Manchuria, that territory,' together with the Province of .Tehol to the west, .was made Into the state of Man choukuo w'th Pu Yl, one-time heir to the Chinese empire, as ruler. West- ? em powers Have not officially recog nized the new state. Catalonia Given Autonomy. "The granting of autonomy to Cata lonia, made up of the four provinces of northeastern Spain, fulfilled the as pirations which the Catalonlans have held for centuries. The newly em powered state has a unique status among the major divisions of the Spanish republic. It has Its own pres ident, parliament, cabinet, and courts, and will collect Its own taxes. Foreign affairs, however, will remain under control of the central government at Madrid. ? "After an almost bloodless revolu tion during the past summer, King Prajadhipok of Slam promised a con stitution. This new charter for the Siamese was made public on Novem ber 10. "In Arabia no major changes In boundaries or sovereignties took place during the year, but the principal state of the peninsula received a new name. The country embracing nil of central Arabia and extending from the Red sea to the Persian gulf, for merly known as the Kingdoms of the Ilejnz and Nejd, was, early In Octo ber, given the title; 'Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.' "Ararat, one of the most famous mountains In the world, changed hands during 1032. The mountain was traded to Turkey by Persia in exchange for a strip of territory along the Turkish Persian border to the south, "Next to the fighting In Manchuria, the longest continued military conflict dnrlng 1032 over boundaries or sov ereignties has been that In the Gran Chaco of South America between Bolivia and Paraguay.

"Since June 1, Chile has had five changes in presidents, and for a time was ruled by a socialistic regime.

Stutte was allowed the freedom of the grounds ?* a trust? and worked often as a member of the carpenter crew. the headwater streams of the Amazon system. The dispute was Initiated when Peruvian citizens seized the town of Letlcla from Colombia. The community Is still In the hands of Peruvians. "In the Near East a dispute between Syria and Iraq over their common boundary line between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers was advanced toward solution by a report of the Syro-Iraql frontier commission to the League of Nations, recommending a line which lay between those, claimed by the two contestants. "A frontier contest which involved the operation of customs between France and Switzerland was settled amicably by a decision of the Court of International Justice at The Hague ('s Gravenhage) during June. The de cision was in favor of Switzerland and operated to permit a free customs zone near Geneva, but In French territory. France formally accepted the decision In September and ordered the with drawal of her customs officials from ' thft*s:one. "Work toward solution of the bound ary dispute between Guatemala and Honduras in Central America, was carried toward a decision by nn arbi tration commission headed by Chief Justice Hughes. The United States War department played an Important part In this work by assigning army air corps flyers last summer to pre pare an aerial map of the disputed line.

If the decision of Judge Alva Corlett In an annulment case In volving a wealthy society girl is to be tnken as a criterion. It's Just as much an offense against a wife to smother her with kindness as it is to shower her with blows. The unusual ruling arises out of the annulment suit Involving Marlon CJon elly and William Graham Abell of Warren, Ohio, who married In haste nnd apparently repented soon nfter ward. Marion, daughter of Brig. Oen. L. S. Conelly, of the Ohio National Guard, and popular debutante, marfled young Abell last March. She quickly found out It wns all a mistake.

Mackenzie, a Scottish doctor on the league secretariat, co-operated with the Liberian government in a success ful effort to pacify Kru tribes who, having come Into conflict with the gov ernment and with each other, had fled Into the bush. Forty-four t6wns had been burned and at leas' 12,000 men, women and children were In a state of advanced starvation us the result of the disputes. The success of Mackenzie's mission Involved settling tribal quarrels about land, women, canoes, and palm trees. Finally he managed to stop all light ing and disarmed the natives.

He gave her everything and did everything, whether she asked for It or not. Marlon cried. Why didn't he stop it? was her Wall to her par ents. She preferred that he give her nothing and do nothing. They spoke to young Abell about It, hut there was no change. The young mnn Just couldn't help himself. Being kind was his particular fault, he told her parents. Marlon would Just have to take it or leave It. Marlon preferred to leave It. She got her parents to go to Judge Cor lett's Domestic Relations court and In stitute suit for annulment of her mar riage. They did, alleging young Abell had been "too nice" to her, and that Marlon had tired of her youthful hus band as a result. Those were tho only grounds Marlon's parents could offer for the broken romance. Naturally, dignified Judge Corlett was astounded at the unique plea for annulment, Hut apparently he was convinced Irler that an annulment should be granted. He granted It, at the same time tell ing Marlon's father that both the for mer wife rind her husband should bo spanked. The stern militaristic brlg adler-genernl agreed with him. Many Oriental Plants Grow in Wyoming Garden Cheyenno, Wyo. ? Many strange ori ental plants grew In the garden of Mr. and Mrs. George Koga last season. Koga, a Japanese, ' plumber, has made a hobby of growing the plants that are popular in Japan. The out ' standing feature of the garden was a large bod of true' orlerital popples, scarlet In color. Many of the plants aro grown for their medicinal value. One of these herbs Is called guho. It looks some . thing like rhubarb. The Japanese peo ple uso the gubo plant as a remedy, for rheumatism and other <dlseases. The itogns devoted a part of their* garden to nobuka, or Japanese ontOn.

Whether you keep house seriously or "kltchenettlly," as some put It, you j are almost certain to keep a supply of conned crab meat, ttuna flsh, sal mon and lobster meat on hand. They are called on then for main dishes | and salad, for lunch and for Sunday night supper and for canapes and for eutrees ? if you go in for formal din ners. Of four foods, lobster per haps has the more distinct flavor. A very good brand of canned lobster must be selected on this account. Packs of lobster vary more than packs of the other (ish unless it is the crab meat, which Is of two dis tinctly different kinds. The Japanese crab meat comes In larger pieces, keeps Its natural flavor, and Is packed In such quantities that It Is used largely. It is particularly good for salad whenever large pieces are desirable. Personally, a household authority says, I like both lobster and crab left In "airly large pieces when a salad Is prepared. At least a third as much celery as fish Is used for these salads, and mayonnaise Is mixed with them. Tiny capers or minced green olives Improve these salads. Tuna may be used the same way. When salmon Is u'-ed as a salad, it Is better left in lorger pieces ? as It comes from the can. Plenty of mayonnaise should be arranged, with hard-cooked eggs ? cut Into lengthwise eighths ? around the sal mon. Eggs are, of course, often used to garnish the other flsh salads. Any one of these fish may be put Into an aspic Jelly with celery and sliced stuITed olives. A ring of salad of this sort may be served with cucumbers cut Into dices and mixed with may ? onnalse or with a mixed vegetable salad dressed In the same way. For cannpes, the flsh is usually finely minced and well seasoned be I fore It is spread on rounds of toast or fried bread. Sometimes the salad mentioned above Is molded In tiny molds not more than one inch In di ameter. When these are turned out of the mold they are put on tooth picks nnd eaten with canapes, as an appetizer. For a creamed dish, or for Its rich er relation the Newburg, lobster and crab are the favorites. The creamed fish Is served on toast In patty cases, or Is put In ramekins or in a large bak ing dish, covered with crumbs and browned in a hot oven. When high seasonings nnd pimentos and green peppers are added to a creamed dish tt Is sometimes known ns '?iIovIWnI.*' Any of these tlsh umke dellclwus tliubales ami souffles. one is as good as the other. Sometimes a 1 1 <?I1h 11 dulse or a Tartar sauce Is served with these hot dishes One other dellchms use for these sea foods should be mentioned. They make such delicious cream soups as "bisques," as they are called. OC course, they are a little heavy for dinner, but I know of one household where this Is h specialty of the hos tess .and where guests are always hopeful of having a meal begin with b^r famous lobster bisque. In either of the recipes given, of product can be used to better advan tage. but we are quite likely to llnd good use for them often In their canned form.
