TOO MUCH MEMORY.

 In Academic, World, Professor. Says,.
 q am certain that in the academic world we always have put too much stress upon memory and not enough upon reasoning" Dr. Herbert s. Lansfeld of Harvard said recently. Memory is the store-house of informa- tion and one of the best assets of the highpowVred brain. But memory un- der another guise is harmful.

M'ADOO OUT OF
RACE;RELEASES
HIS SUPPORTERS
Announcement Made Early
This Morning Ralston
Withdraws His Name.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
July 8. Two important develop
ments took place during the night
session of the Democratic National
Convention.
Senator Samuel NJ. Ralston tele-
praphed from Indianapolis TO Tom
Taggart that under no circumstances
would he accept the nomination for
President and Taggart said he
would withdraw Ralston's name.
The second development came
early this morning following series
Of conferences with his lientenants
when McAdoo decided to throw his
strength in the convention to E. 7.
Meredith. of Iowa, former Secretary
of Agriculture in Wilson's cabinet.
McAdoo released his delegates in
formal communication to the cor
vention.
McAdoo supporters declared his
action had no connection with the
proposal of Gov. AL Smith that boeh
withdraw but that it was expected
Smiths conditional offer of with
drawal would be carried out.
Would Support Ralston.
McAdoo was first urged to sup
port Senator Ralstan and he was
said to be giving serious considera-
tion when Ralston wrecked his own
boom by telephoning from lndian-
apois to Tom Taggart that he would
not accept the nomination.
McAdoo Sees Things
1t was pointed out to McAdoo
during the night by his friends that
his chances of winning the Presi-
Dental nomination under the two
thirds rule was poor and the best
he could hope under the existing
situation was to name the candidate.
He was also advised that II ne
withdrew gracefully. he might be in
a position to be a candidate later.
McAdeo's Statement.
McAdoo's statement was read 10
the convention. He expressed graft
tude to those supporting him so 10y
ally, adding that the convention
appeared unable to nominate under
the two-thirds rule and as result
party success was imperiled. Me-
Adoo said:
81 agree that | should withdraw
my name from the convention. /
should be untrue to many people
who have sent delegates here to
support me" and added that he un-
willingly, nevertheless. contributed
to the hopeless deadlock and must
leave the future conduct of his can
didacy to his friends.

Woman Mans Superior
in Matter of Patience

Have you ever watched q man wait

an audience with an Office chief or
waiting at his tailor's until the filter Is
ready to try on new suit? In nine
cases out of ten his whole attitude be-
trays an Impotence which, when the
psychological moment is long delayed.
often reaches the point of exaspera
ton, Margaret Gordon, writing in the
London Chronicle, asserts.
Such occasions always remind me of
a story of Louis XIV, the Grand Mon
arch, who exclaimed when some court
official failed to respond instantly to
the royal summons, 81 really believe
am being kept waiting" And
though the average plain man does not
express his hatred of being kept wait
ing in words, at heart most of them
feel Just like the imperious French
king.
Woman, on the other hand, having
been kept waiting since the world be-
gan, has learned a divine patience
which Is her own secret. She rarely
fidgets when the train is late or even
when the person she expects to meet
Is ages behind the. hour Of the ap-
pointment. Unless love keeps the
man in question up to time, she usu-
ally accepts the perfunctory apology
with smile. Even now. when so
many women work. no man Will. ad-
NIT that her time has anything like
the value Of that of member of his
