energy and similar scientific discov-
cries of equal Importance. while there
is every reason to believe they will
be worked out, are still in the distant
future as far as practical application
is concerned. Therefore hydro-electric
power will bridge the gap.
Although railroads are till mostly
run by coal and oil it Is cheaper to
use electricity. The New Haven rail-
way system, while producing its cleo
trio power from coal, is saving 200, 900
tons of coal a year.
The first cost Of turning a railroad
from steam over to electricity IS high
and the old equipment must be
scrapped at a loss. But outside of
that the advantage is entirely with
electricity. 1t speeds up operation,
cuts down terminal space and makes
possible two levels Of tracks. Also
starting new it is cheaper to build for
electric operation than for steam.

One vivid impression is remembered
better than three ordinary repetitions
AT the circus you saw many persons
who were strangers to you. OF alt
these should you see them again. you
would recognize probably only the fat
woman and the human skeleton. The
fat woman was remembered when
hundreds OF other persons were for
gotten-because she was unusual and
you gave her more attention than you
did to normal people. She made a
vivid impression.
The unusual house or motor car is
remembered because they arouse in
terest Interest compels attention
and makes vivid those things which
otherwise would be ordinary and soon
forgotten.
Now for simple test. Use this
newspaper Scan the advertisements
on every page. beginning at Page 2.
and after you have done that lay the
paper aside for n moment and recall
the advertisements which you have
scanned Which OF them sticks In
your memory? Now. take the paper
again and see WHY those advertise
ments are remembered.
Undoubtedly they were striking.
They aroused your interest.
Apply that stimulus to interest
and improved memory-by culivating
an interest in everything worth while
that you read or hear. Give atten-
and obtain a vivid impression. The
person with many strong interests re-
members better than the one with
only few, and weak. interests.
Make your memories vivid.
Before you lay this aside. do you re-
member the striking features Of the
most striking advertisement you read
in todays' paper?

Tho world likes the man with the
hearty hello; the fellow who greets
you with pep. For he spreads the
spirit that's likely to grow and get
everybody in step.
There's something that's real in the
slap on the back (that is, if the slap's
not too hard). The man who can do
it-well. he's got the knack and he'll
never from friendship be barred.
We all have our troubles and sor-
rows in life. but why should we con
stantly chatter bout things that are
really our personal strife, and to all
other people don't matter.
It's easy to play just the optimist's
part when you're talking with people
that greet you. Let CHEEKY words
come and the sad ones depart and
they'll always be tickled to meet you.
If you are a crouch there's a tonic
you need. Just follow the tip given
here: In things optimistic step into
the lead and forever be spreadin' good
cheer. a

"straddle" on a patched-up platform
that threatens to collapse from the
innate fiimsiness OF the materials used
In its construction-tha is a problem
that is giving Republican Leaders,"
who hope to have determining voice
in party parleys at Cleveland, many
sleepless nights.
If left to himself, President Coolidge
would construct a platform which
would at least be safe and symimet.
rical
But powerful elements within the
party. while acknowledging the nomi-
nation Of Coolidge to succeed himself
is inevitable and necessary, do not
concede it is either wise or desirable
to yield to him full authority in the
shaping of party doctrine at this
time. To them. control OF the ma
chinery and policy of the party Is
more important than any one victory,
and rather than surrender their grip
on the power they now hold they
would rather accept a temporary de-
feat at the polls.
Friction Interferes
Willingness to accept President
Coolidge as platform writer as we'll
as candidate has been seriously inter
fered with by recent friction between
White House and Senate. This may
be further intensified after the bonus
and tax bills have received presiden-
tial attention, should he. as Is consid-
cred by no means unlikely, veto them
Even the old guard group in the
Senate, backbone Of the conservatism
Coolidge exemplifies. does not relish
the complacency with which he has
walked away with the party as his
own undisputed possession. With

ed about both the presidency and his
eancicacy for denomination.

nothing TO lead. And it has made
them, privately. petulantly-even
peevish.
Party Is Fearful
A member of the Republican ma
tional committee. speaking privately
OF the situation. says:
1.-The trouble with the party. and
the Government. is that they are run
by fear They are influenced by the
fear of what individuals or small mi.
norities may do or say Instead of
chaking out a straightforward policy
on fundamentals and then hewing to

Georges Bezet's real name was
Alexander Leopold. He had. probably
the most extraordinary career in
musical history. He ranks as the fore
most modern French composer,
through the wonderful success of one
opera. namely Carmen" This opera
has, probably. been sung by more
artists than any other opera, and is
still one of the foremost operas.
Bezet's life was ended by an attack
of heart disease when he was only
81 years old.

A last years college graduate tells
us hopefully he has been working al
most year without his past being
discovered.
In Chicago two caddies at a golf
course we're caught hunting highballs
instead Of lost balls.
Maybe you want to be Rockefeller
and maybe you don't. We don't. The
weather is warm and John wears an
overcoat all summer.
Maybe a man in Washington who
beat his wife was mad because he
hasn't been mentioned for President.
If you don't like to eat frogs alive
never sleep under a tree out in the
yard without first closing your mouth.
All the world is a stage with too
many exits.
When you see a man making faces
at another man now, it may be the
coal man mad at the ice man.
