EASY TO IMPROVE MEMORY
Mind Entirely on the One
Thing in Hand.

People of poor memory are general
ly inattentive and fail to concentrate.
Systems like Pelmanism help to good
memory in that they focus the mind
on the thing at hand. Dreamers read,
and for the life of them cannot tell
what the last sentence was, unless it
was something in which they were
wildly interested waking them out of
their dream, and then it is fixed for
good, thus showing that memory is
conditioned on attention and concen-
tration. To cure this requires heroic
treatment. Make 1t religious resolve
to attend only to the thing in hand.
If it is reading, concentrate on the
book so thoroughly that every sem
tence takes clearly defined meaning in
the mind. One cannot think Of some
thing else and at the same time un-
derstand and remember what he Is
reading. The trick in the game OF
memory is to overcome dreaming, alb
straction, inattention. 1t can be done
by persistent, patient, long-continued
effort.

EAST ADOPTS ENGLISH
Elementary Schools of Near East
Make Study Compulsory
Soon Will Dsplace French as thu
Language of Diplomacy
and Business.

Island of Crete.-The English Ian,
guage promises soon to displace French
as the language of business and diplo.
macy.
All through the Near East the Ang-
lo-American influence has resulted in
thousands of elementary schools insti.
tuting English as compulsory Ian
guage. Even in the Mediterranean Isle
the home of Premier Venizelos, instruc
ton in the English language has been
arranged for.
American scientific agriculturalists
are now completing a survey of the
soil possibilities of Crete in the same
thorough fashion in which they sur
veyed the Greek mainland. Cretar
soil is somewhat exhausted by cen
turtles of cultivation without replace.
ment of soil food, but with an abun.
dant source Of water supply in the
mountains and availible fertilizer il
is believed much of it will respond tt
proper treatment.
American farming machinery and
up-todate methods are needed, and
arrangements have been made to sys-
tematically educate the farmers of
Greece and it's largest island so that
they can increase their yield of crops.
Maj. G. G. Hopkins Of the Illinois
agricultural department, and Lieut.
G. J. Bouyoucos, native Greek
educated in America and former in.
structor at Michigan Agricultural
College, are in charge of the agri.
cultural survey of Greece and Crete
About five thousand refugees from
Asia Minor are sheltered and fed on
the Island of Crete. These are dis
tributed in the large towns Of Can.
dia, RetimnO and Canea, and in the
small towns Of the interior. Ameri.
can Red Cross representatives have
visited these refugees as we'll as the
civilian and military hospitals on the
Island of Crete, in addition to investi-
eating the conditions of the Greek
sOldiery returned from German prison
camps and the townspeople Of the
island.
The greatest needs of the inhabi.
tants of the island are an institution
for the treatment of tuberculosis, med.
icines and medical supplies, blankets
and staple foods.

Getting Acquainted With America.

The United States has been getting
the greatest advertising during the
last two years that any nation has
ever received, and the results of this
should be reaped in foreign trade, just
as any merchant obtained custom from
an advertising campaign.
Since the beginning of the war there
has been a steady stream of foreign
missions on tour in the United States,
headed by men of prominence in their
respective countries. They have Wis
tied the shipyards, the steel mills, the
camps and the industrial cities, and
they have seen the miles of fertile
farm lands and gained new concep-
ton of the vastness of America and
it's ability to put over big things on
big scale. A convention of the League
Of Nations in Washington will add
still more to this world knowledge Of
Americas resources. The chief thing
now to be sought is the holding of the
advantage gained.-Forbes Magazine

ALLIES MAY WANT TO KNOW
Likely to Ask for Facts Concerning
Condition. of the Famous Ger
man War Chest.

In the days before the war the castle
of Spandau, some eight miles north
west of Berlin, was famous as the of
fetal repository Of the German war
chest In the julius tower Of the cas-
tie was stored some 120,OOO,OOO marks
in gold, the money being part of the
war indemnity paid by France in 1871.
There it was kept "fOr the purpose of
immediate use in case Of war;" What
happened to this gold reserve in 1914
light is thrown on the great treasure
chest by the account which has Just
come to hand from Berlin describing
how some 100000 lei was recently
distracted from the "citadel at Span
dau," during the disturbances which
followed the signing of the armistice
The money, which was part of the
amount hurriedly removed from Rou-
mania when that country was evacu-
ated, was lodged in the citadel "be-
cause there was no room for it in the
julius tower" Now, what the outside
world is interested to know is: Was
this Roumanian money crowded out
Of the julius tower because the julius
tower was already filled to overflow
ing with specie? To be sure it was
large sum that claimed admission, no
less than 500OOO,OOO lei, but then any
one who knows the julius tower knows
that it is large place.

ALPS HAD THEIR REVENGE
Famous Altman Who Had Defied
Great Mountains at Last Meets
His Death There.

Few Of the men who have given their
lives to the air have met a more i'm
presSive end than the handsome, gold
en-haired young Captain Natalie, Palli.
He was the favorite pilot during the
war Of Maj. Gabriel d'Annunzio, the
Italian poet who became one of the
greatest airmen.
Palli evidently had motor trouble
when right over the Alps. With ex-
traordinary skill he landed his machine
on a glacier 1900 feet high. Getting
out of it unhurt, he started to climb
down the mountain side. A snowstOrm
soon set in around him, but on he plod-
ded through the f1oundering drifts to-
wards the little village of BOurg st.
Moritz, in the valley below. For a
whole day at least he stumbled for
ward, without food and pierced by the
bitter cold.
Then, when he was 200 yards from
a mountain hut, and within sight of
the Alpine village, his strength gave
out and he sank down into the snow.
His courage urged him to another eff
fort; the snow was found with the
marks of his struggles to rise again.
But he could do no more, and there,
two days later, a passing peasant
found the gallant young Italian pilot
lying with his head on his arm as if
asleep, half-covered by the snow, and
without bruise on his body.
So did the Alps which he had con-
quered revenge themselves upon Ma
tale Pa1li, who had escaped death in
14O raids over the enemy lines in war.

PROVED BOON TO AUTOIST
Woman Who Devised Magnetized
Screwdriver Calls 1t Her Most
a Valued Helper.

II magnetiZed a screwdriver by hold
ing it close to a dynamo for a few min
utes, nearly two years ago, and it is
still my most valued helper when it
is necessary for me to do repair work
on my car" writes Ethel Webb, in the
Electrical Experimenter.
ut is great help when working
around the car to have this magnetized
screwdriver to pick up screws and
small pieces Of the machinery which
drop down inside, out Of my reach.
"In setting screws it is invaluable :;
simply pick up the screw by touching
the head with the magnetized screw
driver, and it may instantly be set in
place with only one hand. 1t does
ava. entirely with the annoyance of
the screw slipping away and getting
lost, as it so often does. / always
carry it in the tool box, and find the
other fellow appreciates it when I
find him having car troubles on some
lonely bit of road"

Magazine Syringe.

Among the war inventions that prob
ably will prove valuable in peace time
is a magazine hypodermic syringe
hat may be used 20 times without re-
filling. Obviously it's chief merit is
that of convenience when physicians
and surgeons are working under fire
and in dark dugouts where continual
recharging Of syringes entails difficulty
and retards operations.
The instrument is supplied with a
platinum needle which permits sterili-
zation in flame. The cap that pro-
tects it, when not in use, is kept filled
with iodine or alcohol. When large
numbers of persons are being inocu-
lated with typhoid serum, for instance,
an instrument such as the magazine
syringe evidently saves much time.

Many Have Ruined Health,

''The greater proportion of people

living makes them SICK" says a bulle-
tin of the Indiana state board Of
health. "The people of America are
only so per cent efficient on account
of i'll health and disease. Apparently
our population is 1OO,OOO,OOO; actually
it is only 50,OOO,OOO. This is the re-
suit Of wrong feeding, cranky immod-
Grafton, not enough air and sunshine,
impure and insufficient water drink
ing; alcohol, caffein and nicotin addic-
ton, and our awful and absurd use Of
drugs and patent medicines"

Prospector Wants to
Dig Up Old Gold Bar

Topeka, Kan. - James Fore
man, 68, one of the old pioneer
settlers of Salina, created some
comment there when he de-
clared that there was a bar of
pure gold beneath the street car
track on Santa Fe avenue-that
it was a bar of gold taken from
him in the early days and
buried. He is now in Salina for
the purpose Of getting the gold,
but he can't get permission Of
the president Of the street car
company to do any digging
around the tracks. Foreman
says the president of the car
company knows exactly where
the bar is, because he told him.
Local officers succeeded in To-
eating a sister and brother Of
Foreman in Indiana, and they
have been notified to look after
their brother. In. the meantime
the county is keeping Foreman
and paying the bill4of expense,
but Foreman says when he gets
his bar of gold he will repay the
county and have a comfortable
fortune left.
