course, make an effort to find out the
other half of their names later.
Let us say that you are freshman
in college and you have been invite4
to dinner at which members of an
important fraternity or sorority are
present. You are taken into room
where there are ten strangers. 1t is
most important to know each by sight
tomorrow on the campus. 1t will
naturally be impossible to remember
all ten names at once but you can
remember two or three of them at first.
Toke O Few Of lime
LATER on in the evening, concentrate
on the names of the two sitting beside
you, and then another one or two, and
after that on the remaining few. 1t is
true that calling them by name when
you encounter them may not insure
your being taken in" later to their
fraternity or their group, and remem-
bering none of them may not dis
qualify you. But. all things being
equal. there is no question that re-
membering is friend-making.
Ayoung friend of mine who teaches
in a West Virginia high school is
doing her bit to teach the young
students to associate names and faces.
She worked out a public persons quiz
which has as its object precisely this
training in noticing the characteristics
of faces and linking them up with the
right names. Pictures of people in the
public eye are cut out from the various
newspapers and illustrated magazines.
put up on the bulletin board. and an
explanatory heading put at the top of
the board: WHO'S WHO IN THE
POLITICAL WORLD. Another time
it is the Musical World" or again
"The War in Europe"
The pupils are told ahead of time
that some day during the week (but
not when) they will be asked to identify
those same people. A few days later
the pictures are taken down and
numbered and the names cut off. They
are then put back on the bulletin
board in different order. Then the
pupils are given so many minutes to
look at and to identify the faces.

Many people realize very keenly
that they are losing the chance of
making friends because they fail to
recognize, on encountering them sec

hear helpless voice say: "How wish
l had been born with the gift of
memory for faces! l can't for the life
of me remember people until l know
them wellw As already said, the
strange thing is that it never seems to
occur to them that it is their fault.
Moreover, they would be completely
shocked if told that not to remember

Use Tricks TO Remember BY
In OTHER words. the reason why
people can't remember is that they
refuse to make the effort to put their
own thoughts aside for so short time
as thirty seconds, and give their COM
plete and concentrated attention to
the person to whom they are being
introduced. 1t may take beginner
whole minute, or even two minutes,
but for an adept thirty seconds is
plenty. And few suggestions, which
should in a reasonably short time bring
surprising success to any one of nor

When you are introduced, 90 back
to the old-fashioned politeness and
use the persons name. "How d'you

tinctly. And repeat it again. If it is a
foreign name or otherwise difficult,

Ship Building Measure
Presented By Bailey

WASHINGTON, May 10 Up -
Chairman Bailey (D-NC) of the
senate commerce committee intro
duced today a joint resolution
(SJR 255) to permit American ship
builders to construct vessels I'M
der government subsidy on the
difference in construction costs here
and in England prior to the be-
ginning Of the war.
Under existing provisions of the
merchant marine act, the Ameri-
can builder is allowed a subsidy
to account for the cost differen-
tial here and abroad. Since the out
break of the war construction costs
in England have risen to nullify
this advantage.
The resolution would allow the
maritime commission to grant a
subsidy based on costs estimates
in England prior to Sept. 8, 1899.
