"The ease with which divorces are

a weakening to some degree of that

will not be stopped by uniform di-
vorce laws alone. but by uniform d.
vorce laws augmented by uniform
marriage laws and stricter regula-
tions regarding the arrangement OF
the weddings.
There should be something done
to stop young boys and girls from
running away and marrying in haste

should be a publication of the banns

Article .,
BY EMILE COUE.

Before beginning to explain the
practical application of autosugges-
ton and the extremely simple method
by which it is possible for every one
to gain complete mastery over his
or her physical organism. 1 must
speak of the all-important role of the
Imagination.
Contrary to the generally accepted
theory, the will is not the invincible
force 1t is claimed to be; in fact,
whenever imagination and will come
into conflict 1t is always imagination
that triumpbs. Try to do something
while you are repeating: 81 cannot
do it," and you will see this truth
confirmed. The mere idea of inability
to accomplish a thing paralyzes the
will power.
Self-mastery is attained when the
imagination has been directed and
trained to conform with our desires
for although, in one sense, the
imagination is contained in the sub
conscious, yet it dominates the latter,
and therefore, If we know how to
guide 1t. our subconscious self will
take charge of our material being and
do its work as we wish it. to be done:
ify with our conscious suggestions.
Avoids Exercise of VIII.
I cannot too strongly insist that, in
exercise of will must. be strictly
avoided except in the initial phase of
directing or guiding the imagina-
tion on the desired lines. This is alb
solutely the only manifestation of
will necessary, or even desirable. Any
other voluntary effort is positively
harmful in connection with 'autosug-
gestion, and will almost certainly
have a contrary effect to the one de-
sired.
Analyse the so-caIled strong-willed
characters of history - Napoleon,
Caesar. etc. You will find that they
were all men of big imagination. Ger
tain ideas were implanted in their
minds. and their tenacious sugges-
tions impelled them to action.
This, however, is a depression.
What / want to drive home for the
moment is the law of what my friend
Charles Baudouin calls converted ef-
fort" Suppose a man suffering from
insomnia decides to try the effect of
autosuggestion. Unless previously
warned, he will repeat to himself
phrases like this: l want to sleep; ]
will sleep: l am going to sleep. And
ali the time he will be making des-
perate efforts to coax sleep. That is
ne NSty TACT Ol eAtElIlE
has converted the latter into force
acting in a sense contrary to the
original suggestion, with the result
that the poor man toSSes and turns in
his bed in sleepless wretchedness.
Imagination Should Be Cnhindered.
Let the Imagination do its work
alone. unhindered. Be quite passive.
Through mysterious, still unexplained
processes our subconscious self ac-
complishes its marvellous things.
Think of the very commonest move
ments of the human body and ask
yourself how they are operated. What
has set in motion the complicated
mechanism when you stretch your
arm to reach a glass on a table or
when you take a cigarette from your

COUE NOT TO GIVE
PERSONAL TALKS
All Requests for Private In
tervieWs to Be Refused,
Is Statement.
,,ones ~ the s,frering for personal

Frcpes Of the suffering for personal
f,terviews with NJ. Emile Coue,
Erench exponent of autosuggestlon,
when ne lectures here January IL,
went glimmering today, upon au-
thoritative statement that no such
interviews would be accorded. Al
ready scores of persons have applied
to Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, 1875
Massachusetts, avenue, to arrange in
terviews for them with Prof. Coue,
who landed Thursday in New York.
Those who are unable to walk, and
who believe that VI. Coue can show
thera the way to cure themselves of
their affliction, are in the majority
among the local people who eagerly
await his coming. One member or
the medical profession. who has been
unable to walk for several years. fol-
lowing an automobile accident. Is
seeking an interview with NJ. Coue, in
the hope that the Frenchman' Will
be- able to do what he has not been
able to do for himself, or get done
for him.
Receive Many Letters.
One woman whose fifteen year d
daughter is unable to walk had
eaeerly sought audience with NJ. Coue
through members of the local COM
mtttee. But unless plans are changed
sSain all of these persons will be
oisappointed-that is, unless NJ. Coue
himself, upon his arrival here, upsets
all plans.
Nrs. Hopkins, who is handling the
reservation OF seats for the lecture at
8 pm, January II, at Memorial Con-
tinental Hall, today was buried be-
Meath an avalanche of letters. De-
spite her best efforts, with the aid
of three helpers, more than 500 let
ters remained unopened.
In the meantime, scores of callers
came to the residence, and the tele-
phone was kept busy all day by hun
asking that reservations be made for
them. Ministers. doctors, people in
all walks of life, want to hear Coue.
evidently.
Mrs. Hopkins ask ed that people be
requested to make but one applica-
tion for tickets. know what seats
they desire, and ask but once, either
by letter, in person or over the tele-
phone.
NJ. Coue will be the guest Of Rev.
Douglas p. Birnie, 1111 18th street
northwest while in this city. 1t had
been the hope OF those managing Prof.
Coue while in this city that the ad-
dress would not become known, in
order to save him from annoyance.
The opinion unfortunately prevails,
IL was pointed out, that NJ. Coue is a
miracle man." when as matter of
fact he makes no claim for ever hav-
ing healed anybody. His whole doc
trine is that every one must heal
himself.
Prof. COue will be in Washington
but thirty-siX hours, Mrs. Birnie de-
clared today. 1t is expected he will
greet President Harding and the
French ambassador while here, how
ever. in addition to giving his two
lectures January II.

Justice Frederick L. Siddons. pre-
siding in one Of the equity divisions
of the District Supreme Court. does
not agree. with a reported statement
by Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver,
Col. that marriage has proved to be
a failure. Although one-half OF the
business of the local equity courts re-
lates to marital difficulties, Justice
Sidd, - expresses the view that IL an
average is taken all over the country
1t will show but a small percentage
of marriages coming into the divorce
courts.
The divorce evil can be aneliorated.
he thinks. by the enactment of uni
form divorce Jaws augmented by uni
form and stricter marriage laws and
requiremets OF weddings. Publication
OF banns is one of the methods ap-
proved by Justice Siddons to prevent
hasty marriages. which frequently
lead to the divorce courts.

Divorce has not yet made marriage
failure. but II is g. growing thing.

Take Street Cars Out
Of Busiest Section.

Why should people transferring
from one line to another have to walk
two blocks after paying 2-cents for
a transfer? For instance, & passenger
on the College Ave. line leaves his
car at Pennsylvania ST., walks
through the congestion to Illinois st.
and as he reaches the proper corner
his car pulls out, leaving him to wait
for the next car. There is a fine belt
line starting at Capitol Ave. and Ohio
St, extending east to Delaware St.
south on Delaware to Maryland St.,
west on Maryle I'D to Capitol Ave,
thence north to Ohio. Every car line
taps this BEN at some point along the
way By using this belt it would take
all cars off Washington St. from Dela-
ware st. to Capitol. Ave. and also on
illinois, S. Meridian and Pennsylvania
SITS. BY using the center of the above
streets for automobiles it would take
care Of the parking situation.
