Memory Plays
A StrongPart
In YoungLiDes

The old story, "the best time to
learn is when one Is young" Is
SO true that It bears repeating.
Many men and women. who
have In their youths. learned in
the wrong way, have in their
later days. tried to learn in the
right way. but under great dim
culties. To learn Is to remember:
to remember temporarily rs a
mere waste Of Tins. The mind Is
composed Of hundreds Of small
cells, and lin each of these, one
thought or experience perma-
nently remembered is worth a
hundred thoughts or experiences
soon forgotten.
We hear grown people say.
oh! II I could only be young
again, how I would try to re-
member those things which do
not recall now" But these peo-
pie have lived their youthful
days and must suffer in ripened
age from the results of poor
memory in their earlier days.
Youth is oftentimes forge.ful.
They. soon lose those things
which will help them later. To
learn is to remember. and young
people. who realize this, have al
ready taken q step which will be
greatly beneficial to them In later
years.

Finger prints there were in

him quickly through certain chan

it was only an hour or so after he
left Herrors house that he had the
vase in his' hands. AS Herrol had
declared a desire not to prosecute
the robber. Hunt had contented
himself with taking the vase from
him
SIS that the vase?" asked the
criminologist. Herrol had come
down to his office hastily in res

you under arrest for robbery"
'Wh-what for?'
"fll tell you in a moment. No,
