MaIIeIe U VIC m,c,,tu,

Savages have good memories. They
rarely make false or erroneous mo-
ton, They have mastered their sur
roundings and there are no new
things to distract their attention.
They keep their memory cells UNI
crowded. The civilized man Is at a
great disadvantage. He sees some
new thing every hour. His brain cells
are veritable, dancing. whirling,
seething nest of memories. 1t is not
any great wonder that he cannot re-
call the one he needs just when he
needs 1t.
