KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
By PROF. JOSEPH JAsTROW.

YOU saw your mind would be a wreck
or a rummage sale. To remember what
we want, we must forget or ignore all
| Tor much) else. What you prize Is a
mind we'll organized for your work.
Memory systems often neglect this
point. / might like to remember the
names OF many people who remember
me. but I should not like to remem-
Der the names Of all the Pullman cars
I have ever Travelled in. That kind OF
a memory would be a nuisance. And
I am not much interested In ren1em-
bering what to me are unimportant
dates In history. though faces ana dates
are the favorite stunts OF most memory
systems. Mind training Is the more
important matter. OF which memory
training is the subsidiary part.
It is, Of course. important to give
attention one after the other to the
several parts of an organized process
or purpose. So In baking a pie you
learn about mixing the ingredients,
making the dough. regulating the oven
heat and so on. all in the interests OF
good pie, which won't be good unless
each of the processes Is properly ad-
justed to the other. Yet thinking and
baking as performances arc very diner
emily organized.
So review your total mental habits.
Are you observant or dreamy? Do
you take things In with wide-angle
sweep Of attention. or does your at
tention habit work like a bull's-eye lam
tern? Are you in general concentrated
or scatter-brained or abscnt-minded?
Here, likewise. you have to accept your
mind habits as they are and adapt them
to your work. Yet system and method
are useful. Memory systems advertise
large benefits in limited fields, which
do not carry over to the actual work
that most people have to do.
You get better view of the prob
lem when you limit 1t to one form OF
application. How to Study" Is the right
kind of problem. and there are many
good books on that subject. In the
course of learning how to study you
get mind training, which includes men,
DRY training And the same holds OF
all other kinds of work.

Iaundress come in. She may do all
OF the wash. or a greater part Of 1t.
Pieces requiring special attention may
be sent out. II one has no family and
does her own laundering, she may laun-
der her intimate apparel OF a fragile
or perishable nature, and send the fiat
work out to be done by the pound.
A combination Of the sort referred TO
above may effect a saving of an ap-
probable amount each week. Many
housewives have not fully informed
themselves regarding these possibilities.
The business woman may find that
her tim: Is too valuable to be spent
over Tashtub or ironing board. In
that case she may economic by having
her stuff done By the pound and laun-

Laundry Economies.

The laundry economies which are
possible in every home vary with the
type Of wash which accrues weekly,
and the method OF laundering It. Laun-
dry Is constant item In the list Of
household expenses and, like constant
items, 1t Is all the more entitled to our
close attention and study. II you can
reduce your laundry costs by even a
small amount each week you may effect
a stable economy In a years time.
For example. do you have all Of your
wash Numbered by piece rate, or do
you get fiat wash or pound rate on
some Of 1t? Where there are men In
the family they may insist upon starch
ing and laundering, but not a few men
today prefer to do without. It saves
on the weekly bill. and spares their
shirts and collars the wear and tear
Of starching.
Laundries will vary In their rates
sometimes according to the neighbor-
hoods which they serve. A comparison
OF rates will, In any event. work to -
housewives disadvantage.

It's because this failure is often EN-.

The failure may be due to other de.

attention: for retention is next of kin
to attention. If you don't get clear

you won't have them to draw on later
Some people have by nature sharp

you can't do much to improve your
memory any more than you can dc

you can better organize your retentive-

WASHINGTON, March 14-Be- trothal of Prince Chichibu, brother of the Emperor of Japan, and Setsu Matsudaira, daughter of the Japanese Ambassador to the United States. recalls that twice before have members of Miss Matsudaira's family been united with the imperial family.
 Mme. Matsuaaira, Setsu's mother, is the second daughter of Marquis Nabeshima. Her eld- est sister is the wife of Prince Nashimoto. a prince of the blood, and their elder daughter, Nine. Matsudaira's niece. is Princess Vi of Korea
 Ambassador Matsudaira while member of noble family, is a commoner and it is likely that Setsu will be adopted by one of her relative peers, since court regulations stipulate that no Im- perial Prince may marry the daughter of a commoner.
 Only IT. Miss Matsudaira has taken a vigorous part in the ac- tivities of Washington's younger folk. She has not yet made her debut. but frequently has accpp- panied her mother to official functions. She has been attend ing the Friends School and her teachers say she has kept up well with her American classmates. Modest and attractive, she has entered whole heartedly into school life and athletic activities.
 The romance which may some day make Setsu Empress of Jap an is believed to have had iis in. ception during the visit q Prince Chichibu to Washiugton in De- cember, 1926, when Le was q
