Washington, Aug. 5.-Washlngton Is
always aware of the fact when m
plovment conditions are bad over the
country. When work is scarce else
where the situation is reflected by the
thousands who come here looking Tor
federal Jobs, more often than not de-
pending on a congressman TO nelp
them out,
A good percentage Of them wind up
at the federal employment service
station on Pennsylvania Avenue.
There n learns that although more
applicants have been provided with
Jobs here this year than last year.
here haven't been nearly as many
persons calling around for Jobs.
There were moro than 81 900 per-
sons who registered at the office dur
ing the year ended July l. but last
year there we're nearly 10000. And
the greater percentage of placements
is shown in the fact that this year
Jobs have been found for 1850 per
sons as compared with only 27.l0o in
the year before. This government
agency, 1t appears. has lately been
placing half the applicants instead
of only a third as before.
Lately the attraction at the cap
ltal has been the governments big
building program. Many workers APP
pear to have come with too much con-
fidence in an assumed demand for
building help which doesn't exist.
Some jobs have been open, of course.
but the building is going on slowly
and there is always a surplus OF
building labor here. The work Is let
out to private contractors who gcncr-
ally bring in their own crews.
Comforting on President Hoover
and Secretary Of State Stlmson of the
Peruvian Order of the Sun reminds
your correspondent Of a story heard
in Peru last year which dates back
to the early days of that illustriols
and aristocratic order.
The Order of the Sun gave a large
banquet to celebrate it's gift to n Of
Lima's many cathedrals OF a massive
pair of solid silver candlesticks. which
were displayed proudly on a table.
A strong gust of wind came along
suddenly and blew out all the lights.
When the windows had been closed
and the lights restored it was found
that one of the valuable candlesticks
had disappeared.
A priest quieted the brethren and
suggested that before anything dras-
tic was done. the lights be extinguished
again for two minutes. during
which the thief would be permitted to

San Francisco is able to accentuate
its cosmopolitanism largely because
Of the picturesque districts, in which
the peoples of other lands have set

I've come to believe that a good
memory comes about the nearest to
being the magic ladder to success that
a ma or woma may possess. What
are education, opportunity, or lucky
breaks compared to it? Nothing.
a sloppy, foggy memory that closes
behind US and instantly shuts out x
perience can do more harm and cause
more discomfort than almost any 9TH
er mental lack that l can think Of.
We're told that the average men,
DRY is only about ten per cent Of
what it ought to be. That's not very
much, is it? Ten per cent! One dime
OF memory.
Where does the trouble lie? And
when does It start? Does memory
appear as q developed sense such as
sight or hearing only to be lost later
through illness, carelessness, or mis-
use? Or, is it one Of the brains at
tributes that must be produced, and
retained by constant training?
Reasoning W.. Memory?
Do we develop reasoning in school
children at the expense Of memory
Or do they conflict at all!

The new Democratic publicity bu-
reau. operated by Charles Nicholson
under the general direction OF Jouett
Shouse. is producing results with It's
daily attacks on the Republicans. N
their tariff efforts. One would hesl-
tate to suggest just how much effect
this propaganda barrago is having on
the tariff makers, but it certainly is
getting into the papers.
The Nicholson method has been TO
send the correspondents at least nee
a day a dcnunciatory statement from
some member OF congress anent some
phase of the proposed tariff legisla-
ton. The Democratic newspapers are
eating it up and playing this material
on page one. And so arc quite a lew
of the Republican newspapers.
Goodness knows how many of the
ideas and words are provided for
Democratic senators by Mr.. Nicholson
probably a lot-but no propaganda
effort in Washington for a long time
back has been so successful rom the
standpoint Of newspaper space. Large
piles of marked newspapers at Demo-
cratic headquarters attest the fact.

Mr.. Dects Pickett. the energetic re-
search secretary of the Methodist
board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals. has been kind enough
to send your correspondent a clipping
showing Swiss postal cancellation
marks attacking the alcohol evil. The
postmarlS shows a bottle labeled
"Schnaps and marked with skull and
crossboncs, alongside the warning
Der Schnaps vernichtet Familie und
Volk!' which is translated into
Drink ruins the family and the race
OF course. we have prohibition on our
own statutes. but our government has
lever stamped such propaganda on
IL mail.
Mr.. Pickett's clipping says the Swiss
government stamps such a design and
inscription on every letter passing
through the post" Inquiry at the
Swiss legation. however, elicits the
word that attaches do not remember
receiving mail SO marked and the
guess that the special cancellation
mark must have been used temporar-
lily at some time in honor of some dry
congress or conference. the Swiss gov
crnncnt being accommodating that
way. So this is still a pretty good
story, but not as good as it might have
been.

Now we've always been led to be-
lieve that reasoning was an entirely
different process from the memoriz-
ing. In q way it is. but it is thro"~a
reason and association Of ideas that
can train children to have excel.

segregate any brain function and We
cannot separate from reason.

 The device is known as the pulse relay" A rubber bulb sim liar to those used by photograph CTS to open and close camera shutter is cut diagonally across and left open. This open bulb remnant then is pressed against the carotid artery in the throat in such a way as to make the pulse beat it like d finger squeezing air through the rubber tube which runs to the re lay box and electrical amplifer.
 Pulse Regulates Current
 In explaining the working of the instrument, Dr. McPhedran said that at every pulse beat electrica, contacts were made which refract. ed light on mirrors, which in turn set off a chain of electrical circum- stances that resulted in exposure of the X-ray plates on the illuminated heart and lungs at regular inter rals.
 Careful use of the device, he said, would make possible the photo- gra phing of the heart at any stage of it's movement after the elapse Of any amount of time. X-ray photo graphs of patients, he declared, could be made at weekly or month ly intervals and these photogra phs be available fer minute compari- sons, something which he said had never before been practicable in the history of the X-ray.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13 (P) - The human heart has been exhibited as it's own photographer at a demon stration of a new X-ray device at the Franklin institute.
 An electrical engineer and roent- genologist of the University of Pennsylvania have perfected the ap- paratus which scientists predicted last night would revolutionize H-ra7 detection and supervision Of disease in the upper portions of the human body.
 The device was invented by Charles E. Weyl, assistant profess eor of the Moore school of Electric al Engineering, University of Penn sylvania, and Dr. F. Maurice Me Phedran. roentgenologist of the Harry Phipps institute, collaborated with him in its perfection.
 The instrument is said greatly to reduce the variation in X-ray pho tographs which hampercd physi- clans in making accurate pictures of conditions in the lungs and heart, which always are in motion.
 Heart Times Exposure
 By an elaborate system of cleo. trical connections. percussion in struments, mirrors, fans and cleo tric lights, the heart is made to take pictures of itself and the lung cavity at any point in their cycle of movement that the doctor may

n K IAMI BEACH, Fla, February o.
mn There may be fight sched-
Vk uled here between Sharkey
1 u and Stribling on February 81,
but neither of them seemed to
be aware of the fact today. Sharkey
after noisy welcome here last night,
proved disappointment today to those
who had expected that he would have
plenty to say after arriving on the scene
Of the prospective encounter.
He would make no predictions re-
garding the fight and played golf
through the day with every indication
of wanting to get in as much pleasure
as possible before going to work. The
Boston sailor said he would start his
training the first of the week, but was
indefinite as to the time.
The other principal Of Madison
Square Gardens elimination bout,
Young Stribling, devoted his attention
today to the ocean, and swan for
several hours this morning and this
afternoon. He also refrained from
work -outs or any training aside from
that he received in the sun in his pre-
viousuly announced plan to get a sub
stantial seaside tan before he goes into
active but light training, for the fight.
Even Jack Dempsey, promoter Of the
fight, declared most of the day a holi-
day and he, too, spent some time SWIM
ming at the beach.
Dempsey placed all medium priced
tickets to the Flamingo Park arena on
sale before he began his holiday, how
ever, both in the Miami Beach and the

dopesters have it figured
that no American League

The truth Of the matter is
that exactly eight pilots will
have plenty to occupy their
minds next season and that
goes for The Yankees and
Athletics, too, despite any ap-
parent advantage they may be
figured on possessing through
having finished one-tWo IN
