Fredericksburg-Br
Gap in Rail System
Should Be Closed

~ ECRETARY of Commerce Herbert Hoover dur
~ ing the course of address at Kansas City re-
~ Gently, made statement easily applicable to the
question of that short gap between Fredericksburg and
Brady which if bridged would give San Antonio direct
| rail connections with Northwest Texas.
"Our agriculture and our manufactures are sup
porting higher standard of living than any of our
world competitors, he remarked "The most vital thing
in economic life to maintain these standards We
can only maintain them if provide the cheapest
channels Of transportation outward for farmers
the worlds market and provide manufacturers
and their workmen with the most economic assembly of
those materials which they must receive from all parts
of the world and the cheapest to the world for
their finished goods"
Although Secretary Hoover's address dealt directly
with the need for improvement of inland waterways the
underlying theme transportation efficiency. Eff
cheney in transportation is desirable in domestic in
world trade
Recently The Light suggested that San Antonians
study railway map of Texas. Again the suggestion is
made. With the map before you and the resources of
this state in mind you will have trouble in
tanning wherein transportation efficiency in Texas is be-
low par. That 75-mie gap between Fredericksburg and
Brady necesstates crcuous route for trade channels
between Northwest Texas and Southwest Texas.
1t has been observed that commerce now has
tendency to flow in north and south lines the period
of East to West progression of development has given
way to era of North and South advance. In the
light of this observation it is interesting to note that
statistics compiled by railroads opposing proposed line
from Fort Worth into the Plains country revealed that
Fort Worth and Dallas combined supply only 2S per
cent of the West Texas trade; that Wichita Falls Anna
lo Lubbock and Houston supply so per cent and that
ouofsate points supply As per cent Any question of
the accuracy of these figures does not affect the truth
of the observation that the greatest acceleraon of
commerce in the Western hemisphere is southerly.
San Antonio is situated at the most logical point
Of contact between two vast rich empires of Texas.
With one San Antonio has satisfactory rail connections
with the other, direct rail connections suffer hiatus
that must be eliminated

Without memory humans could
not profit by experience.
Small wonder then when people
worry about loss Of memory.
Actors are particularly concerned
about their memories.
With the learning Of every new
fact there must needs go consider
able retentive memory.
Some actors try to visualize tbs
words Of the part. That is, they
try to make a Photographic record
Of the dialogue on their minds just
as it appears on the typewriter
page.
Others lay greatest stress on the
sense Of the words-what they mean
and how they dovetail with the
other parts in the building up Of the
plot or story Of the play.
This latter method makes use OF
what psychologists call "associa-
tive" memory.
This latter type Of memorizing
is likely to be more lasting than
the Photographic method, or re-
pcating lines over and over again.
In associative memory the thing
memorized is made an integral part
Of the thoughts already in the mind,
in a logical, common sense assO-
ciatiyc way.
That is why it holds and is more
effective.
People still resort to superstitious
tricks in order to improve the men,
DRY or to memor:zc some particular
thing.
Placing a book under ones pillow
overnight is the commonest.
Unless we are getting on into
the seventies our memories ought to
be good.
Fatigue is usually at the bottom
Of poor memory.
Not putting our minds upon the
thing to remcmber-not concen-
tIating, in other words-is an
other.
If you want to remember a
name or number or an abstract
fact-difficult things to remember,
relatively speaking-try to associate
them with some other fact or Incl
dent through similarity.
Don't become alarmed when you
find your memory not quite as
good rs it used TO be.
The cause may be one Of those
mentioned, it may be soma others.
But the probability is that the
cause can readily be found and can
readily be corrected.

A reader in Columbus, Ohio,
makes the valuable suggestion that
astronomical clubs should be form
ed, under some system Of cO-opera-
ton, at centers of population all
over the country for the purpose Of
promoting and widening popular
knowledge Of the most fascinating
and inspiring Of all the sciences.
The best plan upon the whole
would be for the members Of each
club to unite their resources to pro-
cure a club observatory, furnished
with at least one very good tele-
scope with its accessories. Such a
telescope, if Of the refractor type,
need not exceed six, or at the most
eight, inches in aperture. 1t should
then be equatorially mounted, with
driving mechanism and furnished
with a spectroscope which would
enable the members of the club 70
see the evidence Of which spectre
SCOPE analysis is based and to en-
joy the marvellous spectacle Of the
vast red hydrogen "flames" that
frequently make their appearance
at the edge Of the sun.
If, as could easily be done, the
club observatory were furnished with
apparatus for astronomical pho
tography, the keenest interest would
be aroused among the members Of
the club in the photographs, made
with their own instrument, Of sun
spots, lunar landscape, and perhaps
of star groups, the larger ncbu!ate
and the brilliant portions Of the
Milky Way. What more novel and
distinctive subjects for Photographic
postcards could be imagined. Occa.
sionally a comet would come howl
ing along out Of dark space-pCr-
haps one Of those monsters whose
kind have left startling names in
history-and the club observatory
would be crowded with members
eager for look at the stranger.
Photographs Of such comets are not
difficult to make.
There should be collected at the
headquarters Of each club essential
books and charts, for the first thing
needed is some knowledge Of the cle-
ments Of astronomy, and particular
Iy an acquaintance with the "geogra-
ply Of the heavens. The latter can
not be taught in one hour or in one
evening. Yet a single hour out I'M
der the sky, with a competent guide,
may afford more instruction than
much study Of charts without per-
sonal guidance.

A few weeks ago the Restaurant
Owners Association Of New York
offered a prize for the best recipes
for corned beef and cabbage, chick
en- fricassec, filet Of sole, hash and
vegetable dinner" There were fiji
teen hundred contestants. The
three who scored highest in each
group were invited to appear in per-
son to cook and serve their dishes.
On the given day the fifteen
cooks, multitudes of their friends
and champions, many restaurant
owners, a battery Of photographers,
newspaper reporters and curious
passers-by gathered in a great res
taurant to witness the contest. /
happened to be one Of the judges. 1t
was our delicate job to select the
winner in each group. We inspect
ed and tasted, conferred together
and, to the joy Of the winners, and,
/ fear, to the disgust Of the losers,
made our momentous decisions.
It was difficult to decide be-
tween the excellent dishes present
ed. In flavor and appeal to palate
there was little differece between
thin. Every dish had been cooked
by a capable, discriminating, ex-
perienced housewife. Every dish
was well balanced, scientifically ac-
curate combination Of foodstuffs.
In several instances the prize was
given because Of the appearance Of
the dish.
Was this fair?
think it was because, in the last
analysis, it is the eating of food
which makes it useful. An attractive
dish will gain the attention and
command consumption when a
greasy looking or soppy dish will
be rejected at once.
In this contest there was hesita-
ton OF decision between two sam
pies of filet Of sole. One had really
more delicate flavor than the
other. But the latter was beautiful
to look upon and only a shade in
ferior in taste.

William Allen White once opined
that the advertising section of a
magazine contained the best writing.
Advertisements are written by
men trained in commanding atten-
ton and gaining the interest of the
readers.
An advertising section Of a mag
azine or paper is a good place to
study what appeals to human ma
ture and to gain an understand
ing of what interests people.
William Wrigley Jr., who spends
millions annually on advertising his
gum, says the secret of successful
advertising is:
"Tell 'em quick and tell 'em Of
ten"
So most extensive advertisers
have slogans that appear in every
advertisement. They strike the
keynote of superiority.
You have seen these slogans for
years.

and associative powers to see how
many you can connect with the

The stomach rebels unless the

Without the stimulus of a rabid
appetite, the result of hard manual

a blind man, or one hardened by ia
miliarity, could eat some foods l
have seen in remote sections Of the

In preparing foods for the table
we must consider the frail and fussy
members of the family, as well as
the huskies. Those in delicate health
require food even more than do the
hard workers. To keep them going
and to build them up in health, at

How much memory such animals
