Judas full of firecrackers,

YOU will see many interesting things in Tucson, Arizona, but none more fascinating than the Yaqui Indian celebration-an Indian Ober. ammergau.

The betrayal of Christ is enacted ar Easter in the Yaqui Village near Tucson. The remarkable religious dances, intermingling pagan practice and Christian rite are so colorful, so exotic that visitors come from everywhere to see them. Judas, an extraordinary effigy, is ridden upon a burro to the flames and consumed amid the popping of firecrackers with which he is stuffed.

You'll Like Tucson These are spring days in Tucson. Lawns are green, roses are blooming, and all about are strange, new things to see. You can hunt, motor, play golf, (town and country clubs open to visitors) or rest in pleasant patios. Hundreds find relief here from physical depletion, (( nerves," asthma and pulmonary troubles.

By the Way

N Australian subscriber asks as to the value of a five-dollar Continental bill, printed in Philadelphia in 1776, 1776, bearing the inscription, "This Bill entitles the Bearer to receive Five Spanish Milled Dollars, or the value thereof in Gold or Silver, according to a Resolution of Congress, passed at Philadelphia, July 22, 1776." We are informed that there are hundreds of these bills in good condition in this country, their price when sold by coin-collecting companies being from twenty-five to fifty cents each. This comparative worthlessness of the old Continental currency, even when regarded as mementoes of an epoch, explains the origin of the old saw, "Not worth a continental."

Japan to the American Bible Society, tells of unexpected encouragement received from a devotee of another faith. When he entered a house he met two women, who listened to him but hesitated about buying a Bible. At the same time a man in an adjoining room was loudly repeating Buddhist prayers. The praying ceased and the man appeared. He was a Buddhist priest! Instead of "slamming" the visitor and his book, he said to the women, "Why, yes, buy one of his Bibles. Books like that are good to have; all religious books are helpful."

One of the most remarkable lawsuits, in point of duration, in legal history has just been closed-that of Bogert versus the Southern Pacific Company, a suit begun thirty-five years ago to set aside the reorganization of the old Houston and Texas Central Railway. According to a report in the New York "Herald Tribune," many famous lawyers were employed from time to time in this litigation: a number of them died during the history of the case.

From the "Hamilton Royal Gaboon:" "Have you improved your riding lately?"

"On the contrary, I would say that I've fallen off quite a bit."

"Dorothy went out to a near-by woods. to play," says a contributor to the Boston "Herald." "Soon in she came, out of breath from running and flushed with excitement. 'Mamma, mamma,' she cried, 'give me the Listerine, quick!' 'What's the trouble?' inquired her mother. 'Oh,' exclaimed Dorothy, 'I've found the prettiest little black and white kitty in the woods to play with, but he's got halitosis.'

How I Improved My Memory

In One Evening

The Amazing Experience of Victor Jones

[graphic]

"Of course I place you! Mr. Addison Sims of Seattle.

"If I remember correctly-and I do remember correctly-Mr. Burroughs, the lumberman, introduced me to you at the luncheon of the Seattle Rotary Club three years ago last May. This is a pleasure indeed! I haven't laid eyes on you since that day. How is the grain business? And how did that amalgamation work out?"

The assurance of this speaker-in the crowded corridor of the Hotel McAlpin -compelled me to turn and look at him, though I must say it is not my usual habit to "listen in" even in a hotel lobby. "He is David M. Roth, the famous memory expert," said my friend Kennedy, answering my question before I could get it out. "He will show you a lot more wonderful things than that, before the evening is over.

And he did.

[ocr errors]

As we went into the banquet room the toastmaster was introducing a long line of the guests to Mr. Roth. I got in line and when it came my turn, Mr. Roth asked, "What are your initials, Mr. Jones, and your business connection and telephone number?" Why he asked this, I learned later, when he picked out from the crowd the 60 men he had met two hours before and called each by name without a mistake. What is more, he named each man's business and telephone number, for good measure.

I won't tell you all the other amazing things this man did except to tell how he called back, without a minute's hesitation, long lists of numbers, bank clearings, prices, license numbers, facts and figures the guests had given earlier in the evening.

When I met Mr. Roth again-which you may be sure I did the first chance I got-he rather bowled me over by saying in his quiet, modest way:

"There is nothing miraculous about my remembering anything I want to remember, whether it be names, faces, figures, facts, or something I have read in a magazine.

"You can do this just as easily as I do. Anyone with an average mind can learn quickly and easily to do exactly the same things which seem so miraculous when I do them.

"My own memory," continued Mr. Roth, "was originally very faulty. Yes it was-a really poor memory. After meeting a man I would lose his name in thirty seconds, while now there are probably 10,000 men and women in the United States, many of whom I have met but once, whose names I can call instantly on meeting them."

"That is all right for you, Mr. Roth," I interrupted, "you have given years to it. But how about me?"

"Mr. Jones," he replied, "I can teach you the secret of a good memory in one evening. This is not a guess, because I have done it with thousands of pupils. In the first of seven simple lessons which I have prepared for home study, I show you the basic principle of my whole system and you will find it-not hard work as you might fear but just like playing a fascinating game. I will prove it to you."

He didn't have to prove it. His Course did; I got it the very next day from his publisher.

When I tackled the first lesson, I suppose I was the most surprised man in forty-eight states to find that I had learned, in about one hour, how to remember a list of one hundred words so that I could call them off forward and back without a single mistake.

That first lesson stuck. And so did the other six.

Read this letter from Terence J. McManus, one of the most famous trial lawyers in New York City:

"May I take occasion to state that I regard your service in giving this system to the world as The a public benefaction. wonderful simplicity of the method, and the ease with which its principles may be acquired, especially appeal to me. I may add that I have already had occasion to test the effectiveness of the first two lessons in the preparation for trial of an important action in which I am about to engage."

Mr. McManus didn't put it a bit too strong.

The Roth Course is priceless! I can absolutely count on my memory now. I can call the name of most any man I have met before-and I am getting better all the time. I can remember any figures I wish to remember. Telephone numbers come to mind instantly, once I have filed them by Mr. Roth's easy method. Street addresses are just as easy.

The old fear of forgetting (you know what that is) has vanished. I used to be "scared stiff" on my feet-because I wasn't sure. I couldn't remember what I wanted to say.

Now I am sure of myself, and confident, and "easy as an old shoe" when I get on my feet at the club, or at a banquet, or in a business meeting, or in any social gathering.

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of it all is that I have become a good conversationalist-and I used to be as silent as a sphinx when I got into a crowd of people who knew things.

Now I can call up like a flash of lightning most any fact I want right at the instant I need it most. I used to think a "hair trigger" memory belonged only to the prodigy and genius. Now I see that every man of us has that kind of a memory if he only knows how to make it work right.

I tell you it is a wonderful thing, after groping around in the dark for so many years to be able to switch the big searchlight on your mind and see instantly everything you want to remember.

This Roth Course will do wonders in your office.

Since we took it up you never hear anyone in our office say "I guess" or "I think it was about so much" or "I forget that right now" or "I can't remember" or "I must look up his name.' Now they are right there with the answer-like a shot.

Have you ever heard of H. Q. Smith, of Seattle? Here is just a bit from a letter of his:

"Here is the whole thing in a nutshell: Mr. Roth has a most remarkable Memory Course. It is simple, and easy as falling off a log. Yet with one hour a day of practice anyone I don't care who he is-can improve his Memory 100 per cent in a week and 1,000 per cent in six months."

[graphic]

My advice to you is don't wait another minute. Send to the Thor Press for Mr. Roth's amazing course and see what a wonderful memory you have got. Your dividends in increased power will be enormous. VICTOR JONES

While Mr. Jones has chosen the story form for this account of his experience and that of others with the Roth Memory Course, he has used only facts that are known personally to the President of the Thor Press, who hereby verifies the accuracy of Mr. Jones' story in all particulars.

Send No Money

So confident is the Thor Press, the publisher of the Roth Memory Course, that once you have an opportunity to see in your own home how easy it is to double, yes, triple your memory power in a few short hours, that it is willing to send the course on free examination.

Don't send any money. Merely mail the coupon or write a letter, and the complete course will be sent all charges prepaid at once. If you are not entirely satisfied send it back any time within five days after you receive it and you will owe nothing.

On the other hand, if you are as pleased as are the thousands of other men and women who have used the course, send only $5 in full payment. You take no risk and you have everything to gain, so mail the coupon now before this remarkable offer is withdrawn.
