"Day by Day" Coue
To Tour America
ExpOunding Creed

New York, Jan. 3.-Emile Coue,
exponent OF suggestion. whose
sole prescription for his patients
'he phrase. DAY by day, in every
way am getting better and better"
mas swept every land. either seri-
ousy or In jest. arrived tonight in
american waters on the Majestic, ex-
pectlng to debark in the morning.
The noted Irenchman plans a two
week tour of the United States dur
ing which he will give two lectures
IN New York and eight in other ci-
lles. He also will conduct several
clinics.
NJ. Coue came to America at the
invitation of several Americans, for
mer patients of his. who seek, they
declare, to have him dispel the idea
mat ne is a miracle worker" or
anything other than a simple, earn
est man, inspired by the desire to
assist his fellow men to higher and
better life.
Profits from the trip. it was an
nounced would be devoted to the
foundation of a Coue Clinic in Paris.
ne VIII accept no remuneration for
his lectures. and efforts are being
made to prevent any commercializa-
ton of his work.
NJ. Coue's utO-suggestive methods
nfst became popularity known a few
years ago, when he left his labora-
Tory and clinic in Nancy to conduct
a lecture tour in France and Eng
land, during which he described his
system of attacking disease through
suggestion.
His formula. "Day by day. in
every way, l am getting better and
netter,' to be repeated endlessly
soon became generally known. Wide
discussion was initiated by persons
VINO claimed to have been cured by
his advice.
The Coue method uses the imagi-
nation. as opposed to the will, as the
nass for auto-suggestion and thus
olffers from previous methods of
mental treatment of disease. The
patient is to imagine himself grow
ing better and better" instead of
willing himself to improve in health.
NJ. Coue worked out his system
IN Nancy, home of one of the most
famous neuro and observation-disclosures
cal laboratories in the world. This
was was founded by Liebault, a pupil of
or. Charoot, of Paris, who was the
nrst teacher of Sigismund Freud. of
VIENNA, father of psycho-analysis.

Washington, Jan. 3-Attention of
Congress was called today to the ur-
gent need of providing additional
working space for government activi-
ties in 14O cities, based upon facts
developed by a careful survey con-
Quoted by the treasury and post Of
fee departments during the last year.
The list of cities. calling for first
consideration was transmitted to
Speaker Gillett, of the House by Sec
rotary Mellon and Postmaster Gener-
al Work. The POSTAL service was re-
ported in most need, with the bureau
of internal revenue and the veterans
bureau next in the order named. The
cost of the work recommended was
estimated at more than S4O,O0O,O0O.
Twenty-Five other cities, including
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston and Detroit, were equally in
need of more adequate facilities, the
report said, but information as to
conditions and methods of relief
there will be submitted later.
The growth of the parcel post SER
vice; development Of the rural car
rier service, collection OF income
taxes, enforcement of prohibition and
the varied activities OF the veterans
bureau were cited as the principal
causes of congestion which had
thrown some of the work of these
bureaus into public corridors. The
Veterans bureau, according to the
report, is paying $459,272 rent annu-
1IlN for onrYononrnal
Even if it were prudent finan-
cially to relieve all this congestion
in one year." said the report signed
jointly by Mr.. Mellon and Mr.. Work,
ut would be impracticable from a
construction standpoint to undertake
so much at one time. 1t would there
fore seem wise 10 map out a program
covering a period of years. relief to
be provided first where congestion is
greatest, and where the government
is paying out large sums for rent of
space in private buildings"
The survey was conducted in COM
munities which have doubled or trebled
in population since federal buildings
were provided and enlarged. Many
were found to be lacking in floor space
to such an extent that additional quar-
tcrS had to be rented
The estimated costs of buildings rec
commended in various cities included:

PRESIDENT REFUSES
Meet CLUB WOMEN
=, talk PROHIBITION

New York, Jan. 3-Members of the
Molly Pitcher club, some Of them
prominent society and club women,
INDUCED in a period Of kissing today
when it was announced at a club
luncheon that President Harding
had declined to meet a delegation
named to lay before him the clubs
arguments for repeal of the prohibi-
ton amendment.
The storm burst when Ransom II.
Gillett, counsel for the New York
division of the Association Opposed
to the Prohibition Amendment, read
excerpts from letter from the
President, giving as grounds for his
refusal to meet the women, his belief
that "it is a futile thing to expect
the repeal Of the amendment" and
that such an interview could only
result in controversial publicity
and create a suspicion that the fed
eral government is not in good faith
endeavoring to enforce the prohibit
ton laws
The club thwarted the Presidents
desire to avoid controversial pub
hcity," in two particulars. First, it
made public a part of his letter.
Second, it gave out-in advance even
of it's receipt by the President-a
newly adopted resolution arguing
against the validity of his objections
TO the interview and renewing the re-
quest that the delegation be received.
The resolution also reminded the
President that he recently had re-
ceived a church delegation to dis
cuss prohibition"
Mr.. Gillett said: II wrote a letter
tc President Harding few days
ago. at the request Of this club, ask
ing him to receive a delegation of it's
members for the purpose of discuss
ing certain features of the adminis-
tration of the Volstead act.
'"The right for such expression and
conference with the chief executive
is provided for under the fifth
amendment to the constitution. But
in spite of this provision and in face
of the fact that the President only
few days previously received a
body of delegates from an Evangel-
ical church, to discuss prohibition,
the request was denied.
Il say when the chief executive
of this Republic cannot receive any
delegation to discuss any topic as
provided for under the constitution,
then the republic is in danger.55
When the kissing which followed
had subsidized, Miss Alice Carpenter
executive secretary of the club, read
resolution addressed to the Presi-
dent, which was unanimously adopt
ed and read in part:
1--WE are far more concerned and
disturbed by. the grounds upon which
you base your refusal, namely, that
should you consent to see us it might
create a suspicion in the minds of
some of our fellow citizens that the
federal government is not in good
faith in endeavoring to enforce the
prohibition laws"
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, club
president. and one of several anti
prohibition speakers who addressed
the gathering. critized federal agents
and the police for the manner in
which they enforced the prohibition
enforcement law here on New
Years Eve, predicting that "such
form of despOtism" would speedily
break down all respect for law and
order.

KNOWLEDGE.

Knowledge is the raw material of
success-like the trees Of the forest
or the ores of the mine.
Wood and iron were of little use
until the genius of some men invented
the furnace, the mill and the lathe.
1T took intelligence to create know
ledge, but it also takes intelligence to
apply it.
knowledge, when confined to books
IS but a dead thing. Some men are
like books-they know much but do
little, others know little, but that little
they use in the right place at the
right time and they succeed"
