How | Improved My Memory
In One Evening
The Amazing Experience of Victor Jone.

"Of course | place you! Mr..
Addison Sims Of Seattle.
IF | remember correctly-and
| do remember correctly-Mr.
Burroughs, the lumberman, in
troduced me to you at the lunch
con of the Seattle Rotary Club
three years ago in May. This is
pleasure indeed! l haven't laid
eyes on you since that day. How
is the grain business1 And how
did that amalgamation work
Out?"
The assurance of this speaker-in
the crowded corridor of the Hotel
McAlpin-compelled me to turn and
look at him, though must say 1t is
not my usual habit to "listen in" even
in hotel lobby.
HE is David NJ. Roth, the most
famous memory expert in the United
States said my friend Kennedy, an
s"erlng my questions before | could
get it out. "He will show YOU lot
more wonderful things than that.
before the evening is over"
And he did.
AS we went into the banquet room
the POSTMASTER was introducing a
long line of the guests to Mr.. Roth.
l got in line and when 1t came to nv
turn Mr.. Roth asked. "What are
your initials. Mr.. Jones, anil vonr
business connection and telephone
numberS" Why he asked this, I
learned later, when he picked out
from the crowd the 60 men he had
met two hours before and called each
by name without a mistake Whoi
IS more, he named each mans bust
ness and telephone number, for good
measure.
won't tell you all the other amaz-
ing things this man did except to tell
how he called back, without min
ute's hesitation, long lists of num-
bers' bank clearinys, prices. lot num-
".i', t"iSSl post rAteS ana ANYTHING
else the guests gave him in rapid
order.
When | met Mr.. Roth again-which
you may be sure did the first chance
| got-he rather bowled me over by
saying, in his quiet, modest way:
There is nothing miraculous about
my remembering anything | want to
remember. whether it be names, faces,
figures, facts or something have
read in magazine.
"You can do this just as easily az !
do. Anyone with an average mind
can learn quickly to do exactly the
same things which seem so mracu-
lous when do them
"My own memory" continued Mr..
Roth, twas originally very faulty.
Yes it was---a really poor memory. On
meeting man would lose his name
in thirty seconds, while now there are
probably 10000 men and women in
the United States, many of whom |

That is all right for ysu, Mr..

OFFICER REPORTED MISSING is
ALIVE IN FRANCE AFTER BIG
BATTLE.

The following extracts are taken
from letter received from Captain
Dana Schmahl under date of August
10Th written by him under date of
July 19, four days after he was Of
ficially reported as missing, and which
letter was mailed by him personally
on July 28th. He is now in the ar

of the battery was along side and the

During all of that time the machine
gun bullets never stopped coming ov-

back of US were catching He'll from
the HI. B. shells Then a Minenwerf-
