The latest protest against the alb

The latest protest against the alb
olition of the canteen is by the As
sociation of Military and Naval
Surgeons of the United States,
which ought to know something
about the subject. DR.. Louis Sea-
man testified that in the Philip
pines immortality in the army has
increased nearly 100 per cent. since
the abolition of the canteen; He
also said that less than 5 per cent.
of our soldiers are total abstainers.
The association calls upon Congress
to rescind its silly action in abol-
ishing the canteen, and it is clear
that the end of this controversy is
not yet.

TaE PRESIDENT ISSUES A
STATEMENT
Saying Bis Only Ambition is to
Serve tine People Well to the
End of This Term.

The following statement from
Washington under date of June II,
has been given out:
i regret that suggestion of a
third term has been made. / doubt
whether / am called upon to give it
notice, but there are now questions
of the grayest importance before the
administration and the country,
and their just consideration should
not be prejudiced in the public
mind by even the suspicion of a
third term. In view, ther, fore, Of
the reiteration of the suggestion Of
it, will say now, once for all, ex-
pressing settled conviction, that
| not only am not and will not be a
candidate for third term, but
would not accept a nomination for
it if it were rendered me. Ny only
ambition is to serve through my
second term to the acceptance of
my countrymen, whose generous
confidence I so deeply appreciate.
and then with them to dc my duty
in the ranks of private citizenship"

HORSE AND TRACK.

Thornaway, green PAGER now
in training at Cincinnati, is the
California horse who was priced to
Dave McClary last winter at
$4,000.
A. E. Cummings, Of Reading, Pa,
has purchased for 1000 of w. c..
Brown, of Chicago, the PAGER
Tommy Pointer. He is six years
old, has no record and his breeding
is unknown. He is said to be capa-
bic of pacing in 2:10.
Bert Van Evera has several very
fast ones in his stable at the Louis
vile track, the property of James
F, Galloway, and two of them have
been miles better than 1928. He
also has some good two-year- olds
that are as promising as any at the
track.
Neva Simmons 2:344, owned by
G.. w. Baum is entered in $50, 900
of stakes. This is probably more
money than any harness horse ever
trotted for in one season. Baum
has not only entered her in the slow
classes, but in races like the Tran
sylvania, whore she vii! have 70
meet the cracks of the 2:12 class.
Her first important race will be the
NJ. and NJ.
The Abbot's fastest mile so far
this year was trotted at Louisville
in 2:I5, last half in 1:05, but in
another mile, in 2:lS, he came the
last half in 1:04, and the last
quarter in 304 seconds-a 2;01 gait.
This burst of speed shows that the
Chimes gelding is sensadonally fast
again this spring, and those who
have been counting on him to be no
better than he was last year may
as well begin revising their opin-
ions.
Texas has almost exhausted her
available supply of mules and
horses in her effort to furnish the
United Stataes Government and
the British Army. Seegar & Co.,
of Bonham. have sold $4,000 head
during the last year and a half,
and now have a contract for 400
cavalry horses for the United
States Army, but find it so difficult
to get stock that they have asked
for further time in which to fill the
order. The inspection is so strict
that many horses seemingly up to
the standard are refused. Fort
Worth has been the chief shipping
station for the British Army, but
hundreds of animals have been
shipped from San Angelo and
other points.

agree with the politicians and law

that he is presiding officer of the

Mr.. Hill says that, as has been the

SECOND SIGHT TRICKS.
IreatIy SimPlified by the Grouping
OF So-Called Cue Questions.

oI So-SaIled Cue Questions.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
'Of course a man like Pillsbury is an in
tellectual freak-a prodigy" remarked q
New orleans chess player land his blind
fold games probably involve mysterious
mental processes entirely beyond the COM
prehenslon of the average person If he
were able to explain his method in detail
it Is ten to one that Tom. Dick and Harry
would be no wiser after listening to him
than they were before. But anybody may
develop the memory to a certain extent
just as the muscles of the body may be de-
veloped, and it is astonishing how much
can be done in that direction by patience
and system.
Several years ago." the chessplayer wen,
on, while l was spending the summer at a
small resort in Virginia, l met man and
his wife who did what was known as
second sight speciality on the stage and,
finding them intelligent, agreeab BILE people, i
took some pains to cultivate their acuuaint-
ance. They explained their system to me
very thoroughly during our stay, and it
was revelation of what could be done In
merely mechanical mnemonics In their
performance the wife would take a seat
near the footlights, blindfoided. with her
back to the audience, while the professor
as he, of course, called himself, would go
down into the body of the house and ask the
wished described. Suppose he started with
hat; his first question, what's this 2
would be a cue to his wife that it was some
thing round. 1t Is something round she
would reply. Go on he would say, en-
couragingly; go on meaning that it was
also large, and she would add that fnforma-
tion-'somethng round and large The next
cue would advise her that it was soft and
by that time she was reasonably safe in
saying: 1t Is a mans hat, made of soft
felt
Briefly explained, the cue questions were
divided into groups, relating to shape, size
material, color and so on. and always asked
in exactly the same order. The professor
was thereby enabled not only to enormously
reduce the number of questions. but to use
the same form In different groups to convey
entirely separate tips For example a
question that meant one thing in the round
object category would stand for something
quite the opposite in the square or fiat OBJ
ject list, which was very confusing to list
had elaborated the system with great in
genuity, and the combinations which he
could form with his groups ran I'D to over
1000. That enabled him to describe the
most unusual objects-old coins, odd SOU
venirs and curios of various sorts, in a SER
les Of what seemed to be perfectly innocent
and commonplace questions-many exactly
alike.
1.-The professor and his wife used to prac-
uce regularly an hour every evening lust
to keep their brains In They told me it
took them four years to become skilIful
enough to venture on public performance
and since then that they have doubled their
memorized combinations"
