RIDER HAGGARD ADMIRAL LORD BER- SIR HARRY LAUDER of the development and strengthening of mental char acter." The Spread of Pelmanism "The PELMAN 66 I first heard of Pelmanism during a London visit in 1919. Pages of the newspapers and magazines were devoted to Pelmanism, and “Are you a Pelmanist?" was a common question. Men and women in every walk of life-lords and ladies, Cooks and clerks, generals, admirals, doctors, lawyers, business men-all were Pelmanizing. Heads of great commercial firms were enrolling their entire staffs in the cause of greater efficiency. Over 100,000 soldiers of the Empire were taking Pelmanism in order to fit themselves for civil life, and many li members of the A. E. F. were folDlowing their example. To many who took the training, Pelmanism had all the force and sweep of a religion. It went deep down beneath the surface emotions and buried its roots in the very centers of individual consciousness. On the Invitation of certain members of Parliament, I went to Pelman House 13 to study this astonishing movement, and it is as a result of this study, that I make these flat statements. Pelmanism can and does strengthen ambition, self-reliance, will power, concentration, judgment, and memory. Pelmanism does substitute Will for Wish by curing mind-wandering and wool-gathering. Pelmanism Develops the Mind Behind Memory Twenty years ago Pelmanism was a simple memory training. Today it scientifically trains and exercises ALL mental powers instead of one function of the mind. The founder of Pelmanism had an idea. He went to the leading psychologists of England and America and said: "I have a good memory system. I think I may say that it is the best. But it occurs to me that there is a small point in memory unless there's a mind behind it. You gentlemen teach the science of the mind.. But you teach it only to those who come to you. And few come, for psychology is looked upon as highbrow.' Why can't we popularize it? Why can't we make people train their minds, just as they train their bodies? Why can't you put all that you have to teach into a series of simple, understandable lessons that can be grasped by the average man with an average education?" And the eminent professors did it! Pelmanism today develops mind as I surely as a physical trainer develops muscle. It is a new practical application of truths as old as the history of the world. It substitutes head work for guess work. It puts science in harness for the doing of every day work. Pelmanism develops individual (mark that) mentality to its highest power. It recognizes the interdependence of all mental faculties and trains them together. It corrects bad habits by forming good habits, and emphasizes the importance of personality and character in the development of mental activity. Pelmanism is not a miracle. It is not a mental pill for mental ills. The The average course is not difficult. mind can quickly grasp the principles. But to get the good out of these principles you must use them. Mind or muscle can only grow through exercise. Pelmanism gives the mind a gymnasium to work in. It prescribes the training scientifically and skilled educators superintend the work. The Art of "Get There" Science is the knowledge of truth. Art is its useful application. Pelmanism, the science, teaches the art of "Getting there" quickly, surely, finely. Not just for men, but for women. Woman in the home as well as in business, has her ambitions and her perplexities. Followed honestly, Pelmanism will help solve woman's problems and aid her to realize her ambition. For Pelmanism means to men and to women clear thinking, concentrated thinking; it means self-reliance, mind, character and personality development of the highest degrees. There is no sex in thought-and no limits to its development. Never forget that there is no such thing as "standing still." Either you go forward or you drop back. Americans need it as much as England needed it. There are too many inen who are "old at forty;" too many people who complain about their "luck" when they fail; too many people, without ambition or who have "lost their nerve;" too many "job cowards" living under the daily fear of being "fired." Increased Incomes Talk of quick and large salary, suggests quackery, but I saw bundles of letters telling how Pelmanism had increased earning capacity from 20 to 200 per cent. And why not? Increased efficiency is worth more money. But Pelmanism is bigger than that. Too many people are mentally lop- a The emphasis of Pelmanism is on a by developing self-realization and (Signed) GEORGE CREEL. How Pelmanism Brings the Hidden, Sleeping Qualities Into Full Development and Dynamic Action ARE you the man or woman you ought to be? Beneath the Self of which you are conscious there is hidden an unsuspected Self, a thing of sleeping strength and infinite possibilities. That Self is the man or woman you ought to be. It is this unsuspecting Self that occasionally rises uppermost in some crisis of life and makes you go in and win. And then you say, wonderingly : "How strange! I didn't think I had it in me.' Let that Self be always uppermost! Resolve to be always the man you ought to be! BUT FIRST DISCOVER YOUR Search through all the muddle and Developed and used, they will lift you from the valley of wishing to the hill tops of achievement. The human mind, freed from slavery of slothful habits and trained to strength by proper exercises, has the drive of a mighty machine. It takes no account of obstacles; it refuses to be stopped by barriers. Destiny or Decision These statements are not advanced as empty speculation, but are stated as facts; facts that have behind them the testimony of more than five hundred thousand men and women who have studied Pelmanism, that science of Self Realization which bids fair to revolutionize our conceptions of "Destiny" and Possibility. Its searchlight reveals the unsuspected powers and potentialities, trains and develops them, and then applies them to every day life. Thus it is that one student says: "When I think of what I was a year ago, it does not seem as if I am the same person." " "I have got into a position that I should never have managed a few months ago; in fact, I can hardly believe myself," says another. Clearing the Fog The minds of many men are veiled by a fog of misunderstanding. They think in a circle haphazardlyvaguely. They wander in the twilight of doubt. Pelmanism clears the fog. It changes doubt to certainty, misdirection to direction, guessing to knowledge. Pelmanism explains habit; it shows you how to use habit to your advantage instead of being abused by habit. But perhaps the greatest thing that Pelmanism does is to arouse the brain to activity. Instead of dreading a mental task, the true Pelmanist enjoys it. For Pelmanism finds and develops the springs of courage, creative imagination, and initiative. Whether you measure Pelmanism by the standards of practical, cashbringing results, increased mental and moral strength, or every day happiness, it can not fail to satisfy you. The People's University Pelmanism takes no account of Professional men-lawyers, doctors, The truth of this claim is proved by shows that every state in the Union has its growing group of Pelmanists, and that the list includes every field of human endeavor. The home, the shop, the farm, the bank, the store, the factory, the bench and the bar, the office, all have their representatives, and the letters show that this great system of mental training comes as an answer to a tremendous need. The "Twelve Gray Books " In bringing Pelmanism to America, the needs of the United States have been considered at every point. Plan, methods and principles remain the same, but American psychologists have Americanized the lessons and American instructors, carefully trained in the course, will pass upon every work sheet. Pelmanism is taught entirely by correspondence. There are twelve lessons-twelve "Little Gray Books." The course can be completed in three to twelve months, depending entirely upon the amount of time devoted to study. Half an hour daily will enable the student to finish in three months. A special system keeps the examiners in close personal touch with the students right through the course and insures that individual attention which is so essential to the success of a study of this character.

BY THE WAY HY do the papers, including "WY The Outlook, spell the name of the famous shoals 'Muscle' instead of 'Mussel' Shoals? My thought is that the name was changed ignorantly by some one who did not know what a mussel was and that others followed like sheep." So writes a subscriber. This reminds us of the story of the man in the hotel writing-room who looked up and asked, "How do you spell the word that means the people that sing in a church-it's q-u-i-r-e, isn't it?" "No, no," comes a chorus; "that refers to writing-paper. The singers are c-h-o-i-r." "Nonsense!" says the first speaker; "it's 'quire,' I tell you." "Bet you five it isn't." "You're on." So they look the word up in the dictionary, and sure enough find "quire" given as a legitimate word for a church chorus. So "muscle" is given in the dictionaries as a legitimate spelling of the word that denotes the shellfish. It probably was adopted by the early map-makers as the preferable form. "Muscle Shoals" is the official spelling of the United States Post Office, and that spelling is used by Lippincott's "Gazetteer" and other authorities. An American lady whose husband was a millionaire, Sir Henry Lucy says in "The Diary of a Journalist," saw a vase for sale priced £1,500. She wrote to her husband in Chicago, giving a glowing account of the treasure and asking him to telegraph if he were prepared to pay so much. Back came the reply, "No price too high." Jubilantly repairing to the auction room, she became the proud possessor of the vase. She afterwards learned that what her husband had telegraphed was, "No; price too high."

Automobiles with the power applied to the front wheels are not altogether new, but a new application of the idea has recently been tested in England. "Motor" says of it: It is, of course, on wet, greasy days and on smooth asphalt roads that the front-wheel-driven car should be seen at its best. It will be recalled that Eight thousand miles To lighten human labor, shorten distance, and save money -these are the services of electricity.

They were tested for braking power and maneuverability in a large garage having a concrete floor made excessively slippery by the application of soft soap. While the rear-driven cars proved utterly uncontrollable, it was possible, even at moderately high speeds, to do more or less as one liked with the vehicle driving on the front wheels. This should prove conclusively that the front-wheel-drive touring car can be expected to remain under control on the worst surfaces, even when han dled by a novice. "Motor" prints pictures of the new car climbing over a twelve-inch beam and negotiating a heap of cinders without difficulty, with the obser vation that "a drawn vehicle is more under control than one that is pushed." From the "Argonaut:" The reporter was interviewing the distinguished Japanese visitor with the aid of an interpreter. "Ask him what he thinks of the Americans," said the reporter to the interpreter. The interpreter asked the question, and the distinguished visitor made a reply. "He says," the interpreter translated, "that the Americans are the greatest people he has seen in his travels. Indeed, he declares, they may well be called 'the Japanese of the West.'' From the New York "Sun:" Knicker-"So the Newriches are getting culture?" Bocker-"Yes, they have learned to speak of a house beautiful instead of a beautiful house." Specimens of the large lizards, or marine iguanas, of the Galapagos Islands have recently been brought to the New York Zoo. These reptiles have remarkable powers of self-conservation. An article in the "Zoological Society Bulletin" states that after one hundred days of complete absti nence from food the iguanas captured for the Zoo appeared as active and as strong as when first taken from among their native lava. No variety of seaweed or terrestrial vegetable tempted them to break their fast. From the New York "Herald"-an example of "the conversational lead" in reporting an exhibition: "How's your loud speaker?" "She's fine, thanks-oh, I thought you meant my wife! She buzzes and squeaks too much." "Your wife?" "No-my loud speaker." This is not a vaudeville gag. It's just a bit of conversation picked up yesterday at the American Radio Exposition on the fourth floor of the Grand Central Palace.
