Everyday Psychology
Forgetting Names
BIT DR.. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

The name of another individual is
| by far the most difficult of all things
| the average man finds to retain and
recall when he needs 1t. This inability
| IS embarrassing at times.
! There have been great many
| theories advanced as explanations for
name forgetting, all of which have some
| truth in them.
First. consider the psychology of for
| getting in general.
Why do you forget anything? Chiefly
! for the reason that the thing forgotten
| had no meaning for you at the time
you first got acquainted with it. Ii
| you have nothing to associate with the
new candidate for your memory box the
chances are l to 5 that you will forget
| it during the next 20 minutes, 8 to 10
that you will forget it during the next
| "a hours. Weak bonds" are the words
any modern psychologist will use to
| designate your memory ailments, at
! least he will turn first to that prob
I ability in sizing up your trouble.
The association" or bond" pSychol-
ogy is just scientific name for mean
| ing" Meaning is the root of your
trouble. OF all the things that come
| to your attention from moment to mo-
ment or from day to day names have
| less meaning than anything else, unless
it be the designations for radio stations
or downright nonsense Syllables.
! Who is the man who never forgets a
name?" Hes the fellow who has found
out by trial and success how to put
meaning into names when the indi-
vidual and his name are first presented
| to him
The first thing he does is to insist
upon getting a clear sound image.
! Ordinarily all you have to go on in
recalling names is sound imagery. For
most people sound imagery is weak
faculty.
Your wizard for remembering names
gets the sounds as clearly as he can
| and then repeats the name inaudibly
to himself several times on the spot.
In this way he hooks up sound images
with motor images, lie, with the
muscular contractions of the tongue.
lips and voice box. In this way he has
a significant association or bond for
the name. And he is likely to remem-
Der the name. Most people are almost
wholly motor minded.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
The Scribblers.

All children love to scribble on the
walls and sidewalks. 1t is an instinct,
believe, inherited from the days when
our fathers scratched their thoughts on
the walls of the caves. on the walls OF
the ancient cities, and on those OF
modern ones, too.
But, as is often the case. what was
laudable trait in our far-away ancestry
is not acceptable to us. Nothing so
annoys q householder as to come out
in the morning and find his sidewalk
q mass of wiggling, wavy lines, pictures
Of primitive man, slogans OF more or
less elegant diction, printed very badly
on his gate posts, long lines of violent
color drawn along his fences. A child
with few bits of crayon can make
work for a man and scrubbing brush
for several days. Just a few broad,
swift gestures and the place Is made
hideouS.
The fly leaves of books suffer in kind.
The beginner makes loose -ringed scrawlS
on every page. and the finished artist
Of high-school grade decorates every
capital letter in the title page, shades
off the tail pieces, displays his handi-
work, the autograph of dreaming
mind. on every possible margin.
Nor does he stop at maturity. You
will find his handiwork on the noble
the great cathedrals, the SUBMITS of
the classic hills. all bear witness to the
desire of the scribbler to leave his mark
for the education Of those who come
after him.
What can we do for his education?
It is natural, it is instructive to write
upon a blank space. We have to deal
with the instinct as we deal with others
equally as distressing. We must direct
and train it out of its worst form into
its best expression.
Teach a little child to confine his
7cribbles to his drawing book, his black
board, his floor mat. All little children
need a floor mat of blackboard cloth to
express their desires for this exercise
fully and safely. Examine books regu-
larly and have any mark found in them
erased at once. One mark invites
others. A clean book, neatly covered,
carefully inspected regularly, will help
quite little.
AS soon as any mark is made upon a
wall have it cleaned. Do not let 1t re-
main a single hour once you have seen
| 1t. Then, if you know for certainty
who made the mark, it helps tremen-
dously to allow him to clean It of and
to feel responsible for keeping that
special bit of wall or walk free of marks
for the next week.
Do not lecture in public about scrib-
blings. Put up no signs. There is moth
| ing so suggestive as sign saying mo
scribbling. under penalty Of the law
Watch and keep the scrubbing squad
busy, but let no word of the campaign
escape you save in the privacy Of your
Office and in communication with the
actual offender.
Keep the place as clean and as at
tractive as possible, for that, too, Is sug-
gestive "a positive suggestion - for
cleanliness. That always works best.

"a definite feature of our life" His
adventures in these frances were of the
most marvellous sort; they were so far
from the perception of the ordinary
imagination that the skeptical must
utter, with scorn, "Madness!"
But were they?
On his deathbed, knowing that earth
ly life was at an end for him, Sharp
turned his thoughts to the future. Mrs.
Sharp and his intimate friend, Alec
Hood, were at his bedside when sudden

With that he sank back in Mrs

Psychic Experiences of Noted Men
and Women

BY J. p. GLASS.

William Sharp, the biographer of
Rossetti, Shelley, Heine and Browning,
and author of several volumes of poetry
and Of fiction, seems to have possessed
two personalities.
AS William Sharp, he wrote beauti-
imaginative fire to which he gave free
rein in a series of romances which he
signed Fiona Macleod"
1t was some time after he started
upon this curious procedure that Fiona
Macleod" was discovered to be William
Sharp. Fiona" was believed, indeed,
to be a woman.
Sharp was q great genius, and so 1t
is difficult for lesser minds to dismiss
the experiences which came to him in
his brilliant life but which would not
be possible to them, as the mere off,
shoots of an unbounded imagination.
He frequently went into frances. OF

tubes, in the walls. In the center of
the room was a table, and sitting by
the table, his arm resting on it. and
supporting his head with his hand, was
a man.

said the guide, pointing to this man.
I'm another dream" relates Mrs.
Sharp, "he visited a lanG where there
was no more war, where all men and
women were equal; where humans, birds
and beasts were no longer at enmity, or
preyed on one another. And he was
told that the young men of the land
had to serve two years as missionaries
to those who lived at the uttermost
boundaries.
Ito what end?" he asked. The
reply was, To cast out fear, our last
enemy!"

Senate to do battle with Republicans
in this great war on tariff.
His voice hardly can be heard when
| he rises in the center of the chamber
to attack. Reporters of debate move
close to him. Newspaper men lean for
ward in the gallery. His colleagues are
forced to listen intently If they are to
catch his words.
But Furnifold McIendel Simmons is
heard and feared. All recognize in him
the tax expert and tariff adviser who
has few equalS-a man, although past
rs years of age, still prepared to fight
for ideals he has spent lifetime deA
Tending.
Not the usual type of politician is
Senator Simmons. He is as far removed
from the handshaking, baby kissing
sociability, effusion and flattery are
entirely lacking in his makeup. But
at the same time he is as democratic
and affable, kind and helpful as any
man in the Senate.
His interest is first, last and always
in his work. And while his duties in
Washington lie very close to his heart,
he frankly admits that he would prefer
to be back at his home in North Caro-
lima and his farm in Jones County
There he has some 1900 acres Of his
ancestral plantation. About 500 are I'M
der cultivation, with all modern methods
and diveFstfcationf being used scien-
tif1cally. And 1t is to this farm and its
ancestral home that he hopes to move
before very long and spend his remain
ing years. .-.. o-
Simmons came to Congress as Rep
resenative back in 1886. He was on rs
honeymoon when his bride suggested
that he run. He met success, only to
be defeated in the next contest.
In 1901 he entered the United States
Senate. His continuous service Of more
than % years makes him the ranking
Democratic member of that body and
second IN service only to Senator Francis
E. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming
But because Of his previous term in S:le
house in 1886, he now outranks any
member of either party in both houses
of Congress, from the standpoint Of first
service.
Senator Simmons public career has
been stormy one, but it is said that he
has probably had more influence over
