STRESEMANN PLEASES
FRENCH ON RHINE
Reichstag Speech Taken to Mean
Germany Will Agree to Guaran-
tees Before Evacuation.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. January 3l.-The speech Of
Foreign Minister Stresemann of Ger
many before the Reichstag yesterday
has made a favorable impression in
French official circles where 1t is inter-
preted as admitting that Germany must
give guarantees for the anticipated evac-
uation of the Rhineland
1t is probable that interpretations will
be made in the Senate on the speech
but it is not likely that an answer will
be made until Thursday or Friday.

The placing OF lights in a bedroom
is problem not always met sstisfac-
torily. and one which every home maker
has TO cope with at one time or an
other. FIRST OF all II is necessary to
consider the position OF bureau and
chaiSe tongue. If the room is SO Mxuri-
Gus as to contain one OF these. Then,
too. there Is the boudoir desk that re-

latter problem which is under scrutiny
today.
Lights which add a touch OF luxury
may be no more expensive than those
which Go not Upon what does this
sense of luxury depend? Not always
is il upon the costliness OF the fixture
or of the shade alone. The studied
convenience which makes it possible to

bv light well shed upon the page. and
Be able 10 extinguish by lift of the
hand when the moment OF drowsiness

bed light to the fullest extent.
There are several ways of obtaining
this sense OF comfort. It differs ac-
cording 70 the kind of bed For In

different arrangement than double or
single beds. Beds with o moderately
high head board take q different equip

Twin beds are apt to have q light

Eugene has one passion: he meets

Of his train record, having missed only

on and so on.
Give him a start anywhere and he
can run on reciting this stuff for pages.
He repeats county seats. capitals and
otner lists by the same method. The
last page Of his notebook he can't re-
cite yet. He hasn't gone over 1t often
enough. And that's the reason Why
he can't tell you the day of the dates
beyond 1924 he Is still weak on that.
Some Of the townspeople remember
when he got only as far as 1920. He
started with 1901.
It's a strange case OF a mind that Is
certainly not farther along than an g.

mechanical memorizing power which
We know TO be strong in children. For

only adjust himself TO a simple. low
grade existence. He Is an irregular
feeble-minded person. He is not a
mathematician. just number re-
corder." and that only in a most lim-
tied, almost useless field, where no
reasoning Is required
There vas a similar case about 50
years ago. that OF Blind Tom. whose
one facility VAS music. His mind was
souno Fecofdef, Dui ne was not q
musician. He could play almost any
simple thing on the piano that he heard
once. but played mechanically. without
expression Then there are mechanical
idiot-geriusef who are of a higher
order. since construction implies design
and the ability 10 follow it They can
spend year In whiting out miniature
models. or are clever In putting them
together inside a bottle.
All 0f these mechanical gifts, whether
of memory OF numbers. tones or simple
performances are consistent with a
loR order Of intelligence. that has. .,

the general wreck.
