Bible presented to him by Mrs.
Roosevelt.
After the ceremonies, first the
President, then Associate Supreme
Court Justice Stanley Reed who
administered the oath, and then
all of the nearly so guests at the
ceremony, signed the Bible.
The small study of the President
was filled almost to overflowing
by guests who witnessed the cere-
monies.
Most of the guests in addition
to Justice and Mrs. Reed were
personal friends of Hopkins and
included the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, the Presidents eldest
son, James, and Mrs. James RooSe-
welt; White House Secretaries Ste
phen T. Early and Mrs. Early and
Marvin H. Mcintyre and Mrs. Nc
Intyre.
Both Col. F. C. Harrington, who
is to succeed Hopkins as WPA ad-
miniStrator, and Aubrey Williams,
who now takes over the National
Youth Administration, and who
was formerly assistant WPA ad-
miniStrator, attended, as did the
New Deal legislative experts, Tom
Corcoran and Ben Cohen.
Consensus of Senators was that
Hopkins would be confirmed, but
only after an assault upon the
WPA under his regime.
Notice was served by Senator
McNary of Oregon, Republican
leader, that he would object to
immediate confirmation of Hop
kins and ask that his nomination
by President Roosevelt be referred
to the Commerce Committee.
Il shall insist that the nomi-
nation be sent to the Commerce
Committee for consideration, so
that these charges of political
activity in WPA may be investi.
gated" McNary said.
Grumbling by anti-New Deal
Democrats and Republicans over
selection of Hopkins became more
today, though private
ly objectors to his confirmation
said they thought he would be
given a Senae okay. Personally.
Hopkins was said to be popular
among Senators.

Tariff Act Cited

They pointed to Section 338 Of
the tariff act of 1880, which per.
mits the President to draw up
special tariff schedules that
would apply only to German
goods. No limitation is placed on
the extent of such tariffs.
The same section further au-
thorizes the Chief Executive, in
the face of continued discrimina-
ton against the United States, to
embargo completely all Reich ex-
ports to the United States. The
severity of such a penalty is clear
in the face of Germany's present
unfavorable economic situation
and it's struggle OF obtain foreign
exchange.
The White House and the State
Department, however, are repre-
sented as being reluctant to take
such steps except as a last resort.
Germany's exports to the
United States approximate $780,
600, 900 annually, while the United
States sells the Reich approx
mately $100,00O,000 worth Of
goods. most of them raw materials
vital to the building and opera
ton Of the German war machine.

administration, 4th of March,
1910, with General Harrison IN

an army of office seekers, each
one begging for a little govern

this was her man, and there would
never be anyone else.
Well, she had lived. Her heart
hurt now, thinking of that. She
had lived. But he hadn't. For on
storm swept night that April,
the huge Akron rose into the
skies at the command of "Up
Shipw And at midnight, in a
burst of lightning, it nosed down
into the sea. She mustn't think
about it! Mustn't think about the
gray morning in the commandments
house when the wives of the other
men had wept silently, enduring
their los sas navy wives must.
Only she had been bitter and re-
bellious, beating her fists useless
ly against the pillows, sobbing un-
til her eyes were burning and her
face was a pale, tear-plowed ruin.
Ships had rushed to the spot
where the Akron went down. Mer-
chant ships and navy ships and
coast guard patrols. But they
found only floating wreckage, and
three lone men, clinging to alumni
mum tanks. Three men out of the
81 who had been aboard the
Akron
Jack Hanley, here at her side,
was one of those survivors. She
had hated him, at first. Hated all
of them who had lived, while
Ward had been sucked down into
the dark sea. She had thought
crazy, whirling things. Tried to
picture it. The cries. The men in
the water. The great, proud
Akron crippled and breaking up.
For months she had been inconsol-
able, so that her father had to
send her away to the country
while she got a hold on herself.
And she had hated him, too. IF
you had let me marry Ward, I'd
have been his wife, even if only
for a little while"

1t was over, now. But the men,

her heart. Little by little, she had
become more friendly with Jack.
He had been Wards friend. He
had gone through that night of
horror with Ward. And he, like
Ward, had a faith in dirigibles
that was brave and unconquer-
able. He was a pilot, Jack. His
airplane had been sheltered in the
hull of the huge Akron, and re-
leased to fly miles ahead, on
scouting duty. Now he was on

this the mechanism must be, per-
feet at the time of the recall as
well as at the time of receiving
and recording of. the message.
Few are like that. - a. =
All these physical sense-Spgans,
like the rest of the physical body,
are being replaced daily by the
food we eat and the air we
breathe. The sense of taste is no
exception. Therefore, the reten-
ton of impressions must be seen
elsewhere within the man. Life,
we know, is more than flesh and
blood, and homes. 1t is mind and
spirit as we'll as body. 1t is not
necessary for us to locate the ex-
act spot in the physical body
where this eternal filing. case is
kept, in order to learn a little bit
about how it seems to operate in
dealing with long periods of time
between the impression and the
recall. The best students of psy-
chology are not in agreement as
to the location of the mental
faculties. But all agree that there
are mental faculties, which do
their work in a fundamental way.
No wonder the PsalmiSt said:
eve are fearfully and wonder
fully made" The present day stu
dent must still come to the same
conclusion. g.
AS we come to your questions,
let me say that, taste, like the
other sense-organs, is subject to
impairment by many various
causes. AS the hearing. may be-
come dulled, the sight dimmed,
the sense of smell less keen, and
the sense of touch or feeling scar
ed, so may the sense of taste be-
come affected in like manner.
And it is just possible. that the
nerve-lines that are to carry the
sense messages may become af-
fected in some way And some
times even the whole conscious
and mechanism seems to disinte-
CRATE, and go wrong.
Your question, ."What is the re-
lation between taste, and men,
ory?" is already answered, above.
Of course, the whole meaning of
taste covers the mind processes as
well as the physical contact. The
retaining and recalling which we
here call memory is the compile
rnent to what we call taste. The
two are but. parts of the same
thing. Each needs the other to be
Of any use to us. Your question
as to whether the carried-over
tastes are real or fancid, is partly
answered by the possible impair
ment of thetaste organ. Was it
normal at the first taste-exper-
ience and at the last taste-exper-
ience? "Imagination is mixed with
memory" since it is the image
maker. No one part Of the man
or brain functions alone. All
have their work to do.
Taste still functions as the re-
ceiver and transmitter of mes
sages from the outer world to the
inner man. Nothing more. Mem
ory has functioned all along in
retaining and recalling the old
time taste. Imigination's first
image may not correspond with
the recent image fors reasons list
ed above. D

occurrences, facts, thoughts, etc,
and recalls them" Imagination is
defined as: "The image-forming
power of the mind, or the power
of the mind which modifies the
conceptions"
The words, identity and identl-
fly, must be kept constantly in
mind as we look at this problem.
With the questions asked by
"Wait a Minute" and the above
definitions, clearly before US, we
have clear lead to follow as we

large book could be written on
the subject. But few words must

We all know of the five sense
organs: Hearing, seeing, smelling,
tasteing and touching. All these
are physical organs, with no
power to take indelible impress
sions, nor have they any power of
memory or recall: They simply
and accurately, if healthy, or in
accurately, if impaired in some
way, receive sense impressions
from what they contact in the
outer world, and at once transmit
it to central office that is not
wholly physical. They have acted
as the phone wires or the ether
waves of the radio.
