Science

officers of the Amateur Radio Relay
League believe there should be an
international language for the pur-
pose Of easier communication be-
tween countries by radio. Kenneth
B. Warner. secretary of fhe league,
advocates the adoption of Esperanto
Opposition to the adoption of Espe-
ranto comes from advocates of the
use Of English. At the time Of Shake
spere, English was the seventh Ian
guage of the world in point of num-
bers using 1t. Today it is the first
language in the world, being used by
more people than any other and being
richer in vocabulary. 1t has 10000
more words than its nearest competi-
tor, German. 1t Is claimed by the
advocates of English that it will be
much easier and far more valuable
for foreign students to learn that Ian
guage than to learn Esperanto.
The trend in all parts of the world
is clearly toward English becoming
the universal language. Many for.
eign scientists are now publishing
their works in English, as they for
merly did in Latin, in order to attain
the widest usefulness.

The early Egyptians were very
fond Of music, which formed a great
part Of their religious ceremonies,
Music was then a sign Of greatest
culture and was a necessary asset to
the priesthood. 1t appears, from
papyrus rolls and various hieroglypk-
les that string instruments were the
most popular instruments Of their
day. OF these harps, or at least in
struments built upon the same idea
as that of the modern harp. were the
most conspicuous. The Egyptians also
used flutes to q great extent, some of
which were double. and many of
which We're blown by the nose. Trum-
pets made Of copper and bronze were
used extensively for military events.
1t is interesting to note that in China
bells and cymbals were the important
instruments. while in old Egypt one

Remember!
BY DR. DONALD A. LAIRD.
Yale Psychological Laboratory.

Yale Psychological Laboratory
WHAT Is the matter with your
memory? Is it naturally a poor one.
or have you abused or misused It?
An office clerk complained to mo
some time ago that he has a very
poor memory. asked him If he gave
as much attention to it as headid to
the finish on his automobile. He got
the point at once. Do you?
A good memory depends first upon
two things:
One Is the sort Of memory you were
born with. City children appear 20
have better memories than those In
the country. White children appear
to have better memories than colored
children.
But. before you decide that you have
a naturally poor memory try using st
properly. That Is the other half Of a
good memory
correct Is your intention in remsm-
bering. Try to remember this phrase:
Intention has lot to do with reten.
ton.
Be sure to remember this because
1t is illustrative of one of the first
steps in putting your memory on a
serviceable basis.
When YOU try to remember. your
memory works much better than when
1t is left to itself to drift It has
been found that when one tries to re-
member, he does 20 per cent better
for few hours. His immediate mem
ory-as memory for short periods is
called-is improved 20 per cent simply
by trying to remember. This same
little effor+ improves memory for
longer periods by as much as 40 per
cent
Now, as to your first step in mem.
DRY Improvement, do this:
When you are introduced to a per-
son, say to yourself: "I must try to
remember his name." When you see
bargains in the advertisements say:
'T must remember these" When you
head this newspapers editorials say:
II will try to remember this"
And you will remember much bet
ter.
Your intention has much to do with
your retention. Go to the little extra
effort needed to try to remember the
important things.
