Donald Nelson, chairman of the

day on a 1928 basis. Early in his
career he formed the habit upon first
waking in the morning of going over
important things to do that day,
arranging them in serial order You
can use your code for this. BY the time
he had finished shaving, he had the
whole day planned out. Then he

After getting the name right and
repeating it, photograph the face in
your mind. Make it clear with details
of hair, eyes, nose, mouth. You can
practice this by observing a person
near you on the streetcar or train,
closing your eyes and seeing the photo.

Z INALLY hook up the face with the
name. A name is either familiar, re-
minding you of known person or

bellon Nowadays the soldier dead of all the counrys
are honored However the day remains especially
to honor the soldiers living and dead Of the War to

Honoring the memory of the soldier dead should be
carried out in two ways, by placing flowers upon their

pies for which they fought This includes loyalty those
principles and public eulogy Of the soldiers together with
advocacy Of their principles Wars costly, bloody,
cruel only excusabe for selfdefense stop great
wrongs to human kind Hence honors the soldier dead
should be sgnazed by public appeals for vndcation of
the principles for which they fought or died.

finally abolish the wrong to the Coord of chate
slaye The Coored soldiers great and telling partcipa
tion s1aGe the final object for full citizenship and
equality for they played full mans part and deserved
the reward for saving the union.
But the treatment receive in native land, for
which racial element has ever fought and died. is
shameful It base ngraude insult to the Colored
soldiers Of the Civil War and Of other So is
duty to them only praise their patriotism but
pose white fellow citizens these wrongs to pro-
test this betrayal this dscredtabe action, to demand
restoration of equality all the land for the
whose soldiers serve the country. On Memorial Day,
should urge our own race to contend for that equality
which our soldiers bravery for us for time. We
should appeal our today to determine that sol
der dead shall not have died in vain to what their
rifee entitled their race to enjoy.
