STORING WORDS IN MEMORY
What May Be Described as Mental
Photography Is Especially VaIu-
able to Theatrical People.

The Photographic memory is found
most frequently in actors and ac-
tresses, who have to study variety
of parts In very short time. After
time, these people form a habit Of
getting mental photograph of the
words. They look at the page, read
the lines, and then, shutting their
eyes, endeavOr to "see" the words.
1t is habit which, once formed, Is
quickly developed. The present writer
once "crammed'' part Of forty-ive
pages in single day by the aid Of
this natural photography.
1t may be said at once that not
everybody cans acquire this species of
memory Only those possessed Of
great powers of concentration can
achieve the results described. But,
providing that a person has anything
Of this gift, he can build upon it until
it will serve him to an almost unlim-
tied degree.
The Photographic memory usually
finds it's best development among peo-
pie with what are called "bumpy''
: foreheads. They have unusual pow
ers of visual concentration

FINDS OLD VICTIMS Of
INFLUENZA ARE SAFE.
Study Of Disease Shows Definite
Immunity Will Last for
Several Years.

rs Influenza attacks carry with them
"a definite immunity to subsequent at
tacks lasting several years." accord
ing to conclusions reached by the
public health service after intensive
study in the homes where the disease
was epidemic in 191S-19.
''Inasmuch as the epidemic of 1918
and 1919 affected so very large pro-
portion It the population" the state
ment by. Surgeon General Cumming
added, there would seem to be reas-
enable grounds for believing that even
should flu become, prevalent here and
:here (this winter) it would not as
sumo the epidemic proportions Of the
last two years, nor would 1t rage In
such severe FORM" ~
Gen. Cumming pointed out, however,
that there was no way Of definitely
foretelling whether this winter will
! witness any recurrence Of influenza in
epidemic form" He added that it was
unfortunate that. the public took
such interest in Spectacular epidemic
outbreaks of disease and was so III
tie moved by the daily occurrence
of preventable DEATH"
"Of the 1,25O,O0O deaths occurring
in the United States annually at least
100000 could easily have been pre-
vented by the application of available
medical knowledge, he said, pointing
out that $1,000 annually died OF
diphtheria despite the existence of ar
effective antitoxin which could have
prevented practically every one OF
these Deaths"
Another 10000 deaths were due tC
typhoid fever. he said, in similar cir
cumstances, and there were 400 zen
tirely unnecessary" deaths from small
pox.

Two Atomic Theories.

An atom Is part so small as not
to be Invisible. 1t is an ultimate par
ticle of matter. Two opinions, direct
ly opposite to each other, have long
had currency with regard to the con-
stituent particles of material things !;
the one, that matter is composed Of
an assemblage Of minute PARTICLES, or
atoms, incapable of further division {;
the other, that there is no limit to
it's divisiblity, the smallest conceiv-
able particle still consisting of an
infinity Of parts. The first of these
theories, which is commonly distin-
guished by the name of atomic phil
osophy, was originated in Greece by
Leucippus; it was supported by Dem
ocritus and subsequently improved by
Epicurus and his disciples. The Epi-
cureans professed to account for the
origin and formation Of all things by
supposing that these atoms were en-
dued with gravity and motion, and
thus came together into the different
organized bodies.

Whence Electric Lamps Come.

A little consideration Of the ma
terials that enter into the making of
lamps would be revelation to the
large majority of electric lamp users.
California, Colorado, Nevada and
South Dakota lead in the production
of tungsten ore, the important materi-
al of which the filament of the mod
ern electric lamp is made. y
, First, there is the filament of tung-
stem, then the glass bulb into which
enter silica, soda, nitre from Chile,
potash, manganese from Russia, ar
senic, borax, feldspar, lead, aluminium,
cryolite from Greenland, cobalt from
Canada. The base of the lamp is
made of copper and zinc from Utah
and Missouri, while the basing cement
is mixture of marble dust from
Vermont, whiting from Ohio, shellac
from India and pine resin from
Georgia. --.....

BROKE HEART OF SCIENTIST
Learned Man, Victim Of Thou0htiess
Practical Joke, Proved Unable
to Live IL Down.

What is believed to be the great
est hoax in the history of science was
played over century ago by students
Of Prof. Bartholomaeus Adam Berlin
ger, holder of the chair Of natural
philosophy at the University of Wurz-
berg. He was keenly interested in
fossil remains, and was the leader in
the great group that held them to
be sort Of divine joke, placed in
the earth by God to test human faith.
Students designed a score or more
of fossils from clay representing the
most absurd beasts their imaginations
could conceive, and hid them in the
ground in a spot where the old paleOn-
tologist was known to frequently dig.
He discovered them and accepted them
as real, and when little later the stu
dents hid other designs, showing
stars and suns and even inscriptions
in Hebrew, Syrian and Babylonian,
the old man was delighted and was
sure he had proven his grounds. He
began a book Of immense size, and
written in Latin, in which he gravely
set forth his proofs of the divine
origin. The shout of laughter that
went up when the book was issued
broke the old mans heart and he
died after spending every cent he had
in an effort to recall the book. What
made the joke more serious was the
faith with which many learned men
accepted the thing at first, Beringer's
reputation up to this time being high
in the world of science.

Capt. Charles n. Fitzgerald, aerial.
list, and daredevil, who is in command
of New York's air police, performed
daring and thrilling stunts on top of
one Of New York's new skyscrapers
that fairly raised the hair of persons
watching from Broadway, hundreds Of
feet below him. Dancing and walk
ing out on narrow steel girders, hang
ing by his hands, standing on his head,
and other thrilling stunts, were non
chalantly gone through by Captain
Fitzgerald, "just to keep in TRIM" he
said. His agility and daring made
even the most hardened ironworkers
at work on the building, gasp. Cap
tain Fitzgerald's home is in Texas.
The accompanying photograph shows
him putting" one of his halr-raising
stunts. Broadway can be seen far be-
low.

Wonderful Is Human Skin.

The human skin, which forms a
protective covering over the whole
of the body, consists Of two layers,
an outer one and an inner one. The
epidermis, or outer skin, is so con.
structed that no moisture from out
side can penetrate it so long as the
skin itself is not torn or cut. At the
same time the pores Of the skin are
so formed that the sweat is freely
discharged through the skin, thus ven
tilating the body and keeping it at
an even temperature. If someone
could invent material possessing
the properties of the human skin, a
material which would keep out all
moisture, however heavy the down
pour of rain, and yet allow the free
escape Of the heat and moisture Of
the body. his fortune would he male.

United States has been more liberal
than any other nation In its provisions
Z for the disabled soldiers, but that It has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit Of the experience Of other
nations in the recent war and the ex-
perience Of this nation in previous
wars.

man there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support the memorial
states. '"The government has recog
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane
Gus needs Of one man, not Of three
different men or of one man at three
different times. It makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception,
1t has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force OF circumstan-
ces, are, exercising functions they were
not Intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle Of admin
istrative chaos, duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which Is the key
to the present condition.

has presented to President Wilson,
President-elect H0rding, and to all
members of congress. Probably never
before in the history of the country
has such an army of orators been
modified to- speak at the same time
upon a single text.
The Legion aims to present to the
people of the United States the facts
regarding the disabled in the same
~.language as they were presented to
the officials Of the government. The
Leglon's memorial was carried to the
President at the White House by John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the
Legion National Legislative commit
tee, National Commander F. w. Gal
braith, Jr., gave it to Senator Harding
at Marion, where he had long and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President.
The Legion denounces the present
method of caring for the disabled as
q failure" which only can be rem
edied by the entire reconstruction of
the federal machinery dealing with
the problem.
The functions of the three agencies,
which deal with the problems Of the
disabled, the bureau Of war risk in
surance, the federal board for voca-
tional education, and the United
States public health service, must be
.co-ordinated,- their machinery decen-
tralized and all three placed under
common control" the memorial states.
AS an equally essential remedy for
existing. conditions, the memorial
urges the Immediate appropriation for
the use Of the unified organization
OF a sum ample to. build or fent a
sufficient number of hospitals to take
care of the 1890 ex-service men who
are unable to receive treatment at
present because of lack of beds and
shelter.
The failure" Of the government to
afford justice to the sick and wounded
veterans is attributed by the Legion
to ian astonishing state of divided re-
sponsibility and wasted effort among

MISTAKEN, CHEER GERMAN AID
Portuguese Think Minister From Der
lin Is the Prince of Monaco.


The new German minister to Por.
tugal. E. A. Varetzch, was mistaken
by the people Of Lisbon for the prince
of Monaco when he went into. the pal
ace recently to present his credentials
to the president Of Portugal.
Hearing that the popular prince was
here, the people gathered about the
palace and when Herr Varetzch ap-
peared after his Interview with the
president, gave an enthusiastic dem
onstration, believing he was the prince.
The new diplomat appeared highly
gratified at the cordial reception so
unexpectedly given him by the enemy
Of yesterday, and probably has tele-
graphed the pleasing fact to his gov
ernment. Residents of Lisbon who
have learned the facts are smiling over
the incident.
