The Once Over
REFILLING THE BRAIN
BY Il L
COpyright. IesO. BY nae Assumed Newspapersl

If your brain doesn't give you the desired results it
may soon be possible to improve 1t by cooking. Mr..
o. H. Caldwell of the American Electro-Chemical So
ciety predicts that inside Of ten years all big business
offices will have chambers into which tired executives
can step and take radio-electric treatments, which
will stimulate their intellects.
Successful experiments have been made. Slow think
ing men and women have had their brains baked by
the use Of high frequency radio tubes and have come
out thinking in high speed. A few moments in
specially prepared chambers in 1910. and a business
man who didn't have a bright idea in his head will
emerge too smart even for Professor Einstein to fol-
low.
Whats on for this afternoon" Mason P. Swidge,
industrial nagnate, may ask YEARLY of his secretary.
There's that big conference on snow-plow prices"
his secretary may inform him.
Good Heavensl" the brain-fagged executive will
moan. Il forgot all about it and / feel so mentally
blah I'll be out-talked from the start"
Shall 1 prepare the Noodle -timulator?" his sccre-
tary will ask.
BY all means" will be the immediate decision"
And set it for only three minutes today. The last
time I went in there l think the old brain was boiled
too hard"
It's a grand idea. There should be a brain-cooker
IA NftAg AAJAAC- 4AlaS4AlC JIG " bliOoC DIlQBt DdIllIS
at which the impossible Mr.. Geedge. with the game
in hand, gets to thinking about his laundry bill, to-
morrows weather and his stenographers eyes! He
plays the hand all wrong and gets set.
Quick, Watson, the radio tubesl
His partner can ask for a little recess while Geedge
is showed into the bean-refilling station. He will be
given everything the General Electric company mas
for a few minutes, and walk briskly out mentally fit
to take on Whitehead, Work and LEM. He will know
where every card is. OF course, after an hour or SO,
when his brain begins to get cold and empty again,
it will be necessary to boil him again.
And think Of what the Brain-BoilIng Room will do
for the fellow who has been Shaving five hours on
his income tax and has reached the stage where he
writes Mrs. Sarah j." opposite the question, Losses
by fire or Storm" and scrawls "s23456" opposite the
query, What is your full name2"
He will simply put aside the papers and totter into
the little room where the gray matter Is fricasseed to
a high state Of efficiency. When he comes out the in
come tax will be a set-up for him.

prisoned her r~estlessneSs. She
wearied Of going about and wearied
Of her gowns and the meaningless
iarEon Of her friends. She began
10 think n quiet. cool. simple spots:
to visualize what she had never
known. She found herself remem-
b5ring every step OF that pilgrim
age made with Brian Anstey I'D that

with their lamps and red fires. She
would arouse herself from these
memories try 10 elnde them. try 10
hate them. but I'd was no use. Time
and time again they returned. each
time with the humble plea Of peace.
She dressed herself carefully for
that first dinner with Brian. II
would be simple, because he must
not spend much money entertain
inc her. She constantly remem-
bered that he was poor.
She chose the p%lainest frock In
her wardrobe. and had the misfor-
tune 10 look more lovely than ever
against its plainness. Her beauty
shone starlike: she had not quite
lost thar faint e~xaggeration ~
every point that women always
found a flaw. At the last moment
she flung the double strand Of
pearls-Courtney Roth's sardonic
present-around her neck. She was
transformed al once 70 splendor.
but when she saw this she tore
them roughly of and tossed them
into their case. She wanted moth
ing like that TO have a place in
their hour.
She knew from the first that
Brian adored her. and so sweet
was the knowledge Of this unaccus-
toned gift that she yielded delib-
erately. closing her eyes 70 conse-

draw back in time.

would come together as naturally

The Daniel store. established
back in the Fifties. was one Of
Manhattan's last links with the
Victorian era. a romantic reminder
Of the days of lavender and old
lace. Of shawls and gay ribbons
and long underwear. OF high shoes
and red flannels and bolt goods. OF
quiet bartering and fine tradition.
Scores Of the clerks had grown
white Of hair in service. The count
ers and arrangements kept the
illusion OF another era and hun
oreds OF early New Workers made
1t their only trading place.
When one wondered where the
dear old ladies got their dainty
little lace hats. the answer would
almost invariably be. at Doniell1s. 20
It's exterior had that solid mason
ry associated with the horse and
carriage and bicycle periods: its
windows had never surrendered 10
the flashy vogues of modern dis
pay anu years ago. OlQ JONN
Daniel had flashed I'D bitterly al
the Bornum methods creeping into
business.
There were clerks AZ this place
who had waited on the same Gust
omers for half a century: who had
become almost as friends OF the
most ar%istocratic families. For
Daniels was associated with the
swankiest trade Of a bygone gen
Grafton. and never lost these New
Workers OF a day when New York
was New York"
Many Of these customers had
come 10 fear the chaos of traffic
and would not venture so far down
town. Whereupon, the store began
to take on a large mail order trade.
Its customers were scattered over
the earth. the aging aristocrats
who had moved their homes to
London or Paris. Orders would
come in for a bolt az lace. or a GER
tain battered ribbon which the
moderns would call old-fashioned'
but which was dear to the hearts
Of the oldsters.
