SECRETS OF
HEALTH
Nh
--Ry Dr. Loulg e. Bisch-

Dy D4o G@VSA5S @AS A~RDA~@A
NKEMoRY is q faculty that
IVl seems to concern the aver.
age person more than any other
mental ability.
If the faculty OF memory were
obliterated from the human mind.
we would be little bitter off than
animals.
How much memory such ami
mails as the horse, dog, cat, ETC.,
possess is debatabIe. They prob
ably possess some. or at least a
habit-forming mechanism akin to
memory.
Without memory humans could
not profit by experiences. II we
had no memory We never would
be able to recall or draw upon
what we learned In school or in
the world of fact. We would con-
tinue to make more mistakes than
we do at present, while, at the
same time, such a thing as intel.
lectual advancement would be un-
thinkabie.
Small wonder then when peo.
pie worry about loss Of memory.
Actors are particularly con-
cerned about their memories. With
the learning of every new part
there must needs go considerable
retentive memory. Some actors
try to visualize the words of the
part. That is, they try to make a
photographic record Of the dia-
logue on their minds just as it ap.
pears 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 "assoct-
ative" memory.
Associative memory is likely to
be more lasting than the photo
graphic method, or repeating a
thing 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, associative way. That Is
why it holds and is more effect.
i've.
People still resort to supersti-
tious tricks in order to improve
the memory or to memorize some
particular thing. Placing a book
under ones pillow overnight Is the
commonest Of these,
Such procedures do not help, OF
course. In order to remember we
must needs think more rather
than less.
Unless we are getting on into
the seventies our memories ought
to be good. Even then, memory
need not be poor il the general
health is good, the other faculties
alert, and the associative memory
has become a habit of mind.
Fatigue is usually at the bot.
tom of a poor memory. Not put
ting our minds upon the thing to
rennember-not concentrating, in
other words--is another.
If you want to remember a
name or number or an abstract
fact-difficult things to remem.
ber, relatively speaking-try to
associate them with some other
fact or incident through similar
ity.
Don't became alarmed when you
find your memory not quite as
good as it used to be. The cause
may be one Of those mentioned.

MEDTTATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Mans Age Of Innocence
HOW does a man GET that
II way?"
I mean, how does an intelligent
man OF mature years and ripe
experience get himself into a posi-
ton to be sued for hearth balm 7or
breach of promise?
A man win choose his business
partner with perfect judgment
and clear-sightedness. He will size
up his type at a glance, look him
up in Bradstreet's, and investi-
gate his business integrity, before
he signs on the dotted line.
He win pick out his clerks, his
assistants, his managers and fore
men with an. eagle eye and ur.
erring direction. He will select
his car with the utmost caution,
and make sure that its engine, its
make and its tires are the BEST
He will choose his neckwear. his
hats, his shoes and his golf clubs
with careful deliberation and a
keen eye to their durability, ana,
sometimes-yes, SOMETlMES--
he win even choose his WIFE with
a little caution and forethought.
But, alas, there always comes
an age, when the average man
loses all his Judgment, discretion
and even his good taste, as far as
women are concerned. An age
when he can't even SEE that he's
falling for hard-eyed, hard"
boiled little goldtdigger, who Is
eyeing his money as the cat eyes
the canary, and who will kiss him
on the lips while she rus a. knife
in his back. Who will call him

cheek with one hand while she
reaches for his wallet with the
other.
Somewhere, along in the late
forties. comes the Masculine Age

He may know that she's a
gold-digger-but it never feazes
him. Even after she has 'nicked"
him for a solitaire or a little red
roadster, he just feels like Santa
Claus, satisfying the whims Of a
spoiled little girl.
He can't even be trusted with
a fountain pen! The letters he
writes are so ,fervid that when
they are read aloud in court,
his lawyer mops his brow and
calls for ice water.

Art Fletcher Is Believed
Choice to Handle Reins
of Yankees.
CARDINAL BERTH OPEN
Bill Carrigan Undecided
About STAYING al Boston.
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY


NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-two Of the
three major league clubs looking for
managers have selected their men.
The New York Yankees have
signed a successor to the late Miller
Higgins, but his name will not be
announced until next Tuesday.
There is little doubt that it is Ar
thur Fletcher, Yankees coach for
the past three years.
Dan Howley, former manager of
the st. Louis Browns, Tuesday was
named manager Of the Cincinnati
Reds, as predicted last week.
Carrigan in Doubt
Only the st. Louis Cardinals are
on the lookout for a manager I'M
less Bill Carrigan decides not to
lead the Boston Red Sox next
season.
Sam Breadon, president Of the
Cardinals, said during the world
series that he would not name Bill
McKechnie's successor until after
the football season. If Carrigan does
not return to the Red Sox, Muddy
Ruel, veteran Washington catcher,
is said to be in line for the Job.
In announcing the Yankees had
selected their 1929 manager, Secre-
tary Barrow said the formal an
nouncement of his appointment
would be held up pending the mans
return to New York City. Fletcher
Is at present at his home in Collins
vile, Ill, and is expected to return
early next week.
Turned Down Two Jobs
Fletcher twice has turned down
jobs to manage other American
League teams since he came to the
Yankees. He refused an offer two
years ago to manage Cleveland and
last July turned down an offer to
manage the Chicago Sox.
Fletcher has had five years of
managerial experience in the Ma
tional League. He managed the
Philiies from 1922 through 1926. The
club never finished higher than
seventh principally because of lack
OF material. He was one of the
best shortstOps in baseball when in
his prime.
