...fact that Brandon uses such contemporary words as "job" and "fun" he explains by recounting how a number of "Masters" (i. e., veteran spirits) transported him "by their mental power," on a lengthy tour of the great cities of the world. The ability of spirits to visit the Earth, Brandon makes clear, has nothing to do with their life on the "Astral" plane, from which eventually they may ascend to a "Spiritual" plane. Spirit Brandon broadly corroborates the view held by many Spiritualists: The Astral plane is divided into nations corresponding to those of the world below. On that plane...
...incarnation, to most Spiritualists a controversial subject, Spirit Brandon is positive. He declares spirits may, if they are smart, abandon their memories of their last life and return to earth as a new personality in a new body.

Yet readers get them free. The current issues would fill a freight train some ten miles long, will net the U. S. Government about $1,300,000 in postage. Although they consist entirely of advertising, they provide abundant fireside entertainment for 14,000,000 people. From Chicago fanwise over the world last week began to spread...
...Country Home award went to Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Mahnkey for her writings in the Forsyth (Mo.) Taney County Republican (TIME, July 29, 1935). Last fortnight Crowell announced that this year's $200 prize had fallen to Mrs. Susan Frawley Eisele, whose farm home is nine miles from Blue Earth, Minn., in recognition of her column, With a Penny Pencil, which runs once a week in the Fairmont (Minn.) Sentinel...
