Theodore Roosevelt practically never
forgot a name. Perhaps that is why
he was President. Personally,
couldn't even run for a train on that
platform. l cannot remember names,
and my mother is no better at 1t
than l am. wonder whether it can
be an inherited trait. At any rate
we know better than to try to re-
member a name, because if we do try
we always get it wrong.
In this regard, any association of
ideas is snare and delusion. One
reason is that when you want to re-
member name you usually are in
hurry. Either you are trying to in
troduee somebody or you unexpected
ly meet some one out of his accus-
toned niche. When there is no sud-
den pressure names are easy to re-
member. You always think of them
Is minutes after you need them.
Those with a good memory for
names regard you with pity and toll
erance. The fact that you do not
forget persons seems to carry little
weight. If you say, "You know the
chap / mean-that bearded author
who goes about with Gene Tunney-
the tall old Irish fellow who writes
plays" they exclaim in shocked tones !:
"S1rely, you are not speaking of Ber-
nard Shawn OF whom else could
you be speaking2 Isn't he Irish and
tall. and hasn't he beard, and isn't
he an author and playwright? Try
and deny it!
Persons are such egoists that they
rarely help you out on names Few.

A stranger walked into the Marcus,
Iowa cafe and told the manager that
he was almost starved. The cafe man
said that he was not in the free
lunch business, but the stranger con-
tinued to hang around and begging,
until finally the manager took pity on
him and gave him a meal.
The stranger departed after show
ing his appreciation, but in so doing
his wallet dropped to the floor. He
went to the street and stood outside.
The cafe man picked up the wallet
and found the stranger, demanding
payment for the lunch.
The starving, "penniless" stranger,
pulled out $50 bill, and received his
$40 and some cents in change. Some
time later the cafe manager looked
more closely at the $40 spot and dis
covered that it was counterfeit.

Another Hearing
on Marshall Line
Northwestern Line is Granted
Rehearing on Petition
for Curtailment

The Northwestern Ry Co. is diSSat-
Isfed with the recent order of the
State Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission directing that the present
service be maintained on the Sleepy
Eye Marshall line and has asked for
a rehearing, according to the Morgan
Messenger.
The Commission has granted a re-
hearing and vacated it's first order.
The present service will be continued
pending the outcome of the matter.
Tri-Weekly Service
The railroad company petitioned
the commission some months ago for
the right to run the train from Sleepy
Eye to Marshall on Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday and return on Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday.
Towns effected by this proposed ar
arrangement and fought against it at
a hearing held in Sleepy Eye recent
ly. After considering the matter at
length the State Railroad and Ware
house Commission finally issued an
order which sustained the present
service.
Claim it Paid
The chief claim of the businessmen
along the line was that thrice a
week service would interfere with
good dependable service, and that the
line as whole paid it's way.
The railroad compay contended
that there was very little passenger
business, and that the proposed serv-
ice would handle the freight. They
also objected to having the freight
earnings considered
One reason the proposed curtail-
ed service had attracted much inter-
est is that if it is granted, it will pro-
badly result in truck mail service
along both the Marshall and Redwood
branch lines, and that is not desirable
especially during the winter months.
The officials notice follows:
"'The Chicago and North Western
Railway company has filed duly
certified petition with this Commission
alleging, among other things, that it
desires to introduce additional evid-
ence showing that the earnings of the
Evan-Marshall branch as a whole
does not justify the continued present
operation of these trains at loss and
that under present conditions the
public will not be deprived of reason
ably adequate service by the opera
tion of the trains here involved on the
tri-weekly basis, and petitioner hav-
ing requested that this case be re-
opened and re-hearing granted and
that pending the further order of this
Commission it's order of April 18th,
1881, heretofore entered, be vacated
and set aside, and the Commission
having duly considered said petition
and fully davised in the premises, it
is
ORDERED, that said petition for
re-hearing be, and it hereby is grant
ed, and that this case be and it hereby
is re-opened for further hearing at a
time and place to be fixed by the
Commission, and that pending such
rehearing and further order of the
Commissions order for April 18th,
1881, be, and it hereby is vacated and
set aside"

MOTORS BURN MORE
OIL AT HIGH SPEED

Oil consumption is increased six to
seven times when the motorist shoves
the speed of his car up from thirty
miles an hour to fifty-fve.
That is one of the facts learned out
Of the 5000 mile test conducted at
the Indianapolis speedway by the con-
test board Of the A. A. A. for Stand
ard Oil company.
Representing a cross section of the
1881 automobile crop, thirteen new
stock cars were used. After 1000
mile run-in two tests were made at
80 miles an hour, and five at 55 miles
an hour.
One quart of oil per 1000 at 80
miles an hour was the average, it
was found, but at 55 miles an hour
it jumped up to 60 quarts per 1000
miles.
By using heavier grades of oil in
place Of light summer oil, consump-
ton at high speed can be reduced one
third. But this saving is at the ex-
pense of loss in gasoline mileage, as
z per cent greater mileage was OBJ
tanned while using the lighter oil,
probably as a result of lower internal
friction in the engine.
The amount of carbon deposited
was smaller at the high speeds with
engines running comparatively hot
than at 80 miles an hour.
Gasoline mileage was best at low
er speeds, averaging 1913 and 1924
miles per gallon in the two 80 mile
an-hour tests, and from 1924 to 11.08
miles per gallon at the SIS mile-an-
hour test.
Lesson appears to be that no good
reason exists for varying from the
recommended grades even for high
speed driving.
