By the Way

HE traffic policemen in Turkey have invented a new way of curing the auto-speeding habit. When they see a car coming at a speed in excess of the limit, they toss out into the road a large board studded with nails, points upward. If the driver can't or won't stop before his car comes to the plank, he will soon afterwards.

A friend of ours said that he intended to reverse the old saying and bring his son up to be heard but not seen. He wants the boy to be a radio announcer.

A syndicate of Chicago financiers recently bought the Chicago "Daily News" for $14,000,000. There was no real estate involved and the mechanical plant does not represent a great financial asset. The enormous purchase price indicates the great value of newspaper good will. An offer of $10,000,000 for the good will of the New York "Sun" is being considered by the Frank A. Munsey estate. The good will of the Detroit "Free Press" has been estimated at $12,000,000; the New York "Journa!" is held at $20,000,000; and the reputations of the "Saturday Evening Post" and the "Country Gentleman" are said to be worth not less than $100,000,000.

Julius Tannen reports that in France the railroad conductors are announcing the train stops in English, on account of the thousands of English and American tourists. If it proves a success there, it might be a good idea to try it in the New York subways.

About forty thousand children in thirty-four cities voted for the ten books which they liked the best. Those receiving the highest votes were, in order, "Tom Sawyer," "Heidi," "Little Women," "Black Beauty," "Pinocchio," "Hans Brinker," "The Story of Dr. Dolittle," "The Little Lame Prince," "Huckleberry Finn," and "The Call of the Wild."

The "Harvard Lampoon" tells this

Although United States Attorney Buckner is making spectacular and effective raids against the liquor selling "night clubs" in New York City, that species of "speak-easy" is still growing in numbers and profits. The popular clubs are showing weekly profits of $5,000 and up. Promoters believe that they can operate for at least eight or ten months before

they are padlocked by Mr. Buckn During this period they can amass small fortune. Four or five clubs a opening each week, many of them spen ing as much as $30,000 for decorati purposes. The padlock method is t most effective means yet contrived f checking the evil, but experience h proved it rather futile. One promine "speak-easy" in New York moved rectly across the hallway after the pa lock had closed its former abode. Whe patrons open the door of their prese drinking-room, they can view the pa lock across the hall. Many of the pa locked restaurants in New York simp move their place of business to anoth floor in the same building. Some furth restrictions will have to be imposed order to properly enforce this law.

Mail-order houses increased their sal

in 1925 by 13.6 per cent over 1924. Th total sales for the first eight months 1925 were $257,000,000, Sears Roebuc doing $50,000,000 more than Montgon ery Ward. Mail-order clothing sal were reported as being far below pa however, and the reason given is that th movies and the automobile have do much to rid the rural districts of the so-called "hick" sartorial desires. The now want clothes such as they see on th screen, and they drive their cars to th cities in order to get them.

Forty members of Professor Georg Pierce Baker's new dramatic class 1 Yale University recently came to Ne York to see "Abie's Irish Rose" as th guests of Anne Nichols, author of th much ridiculed but seemingly everlastin play.

I first heard of Pelmanism while in England on war work. Sooner or later almost every conversation touched on it, for the movement seemed to have the sweep of a religious conviction. Men and women of every class and circumstance were acclaiming it as a new departure in mental training that gave promise of endng that preventable inefficiency which acts as a brake on human progress. Even in France I did not escape the word, for housands of officers and men were Pelmanizing in order to fit themselves for return to civil life.

When I learned that Pelmanism had been brought to America by Americans or Americans, I was among the first to nroll. My reasons were two: first, beause I have always felt that every mind eeded regular, systematic and scientific xercise, and, secondly, because I wanted o find out if Pelmanism was the thing hat I could recommend to the hundreds ho continually ask my advice in relation their lives, problems and ambitions.

Failure is a sad word in any language, at it is peculiarly tragic here in America here institutions and resources join to t success within the reach of every invidual. In the twenty years that I have t on the bench of the Juvenile Court of enver, almost every variety of human ilure has passed before me in melanoly procession. By failure I do not ean the merely criminal mistakes of the dividual, but the faults of training that ep a life from full development and mplete expression.

It is to these needs and these lacks that manism comes as an answer. The velve little gray books" are a remarkable ievement. Not only do they contain the coveries that science knows about the nd and its workings, but the treatment so simple that the truths may be grasped anyone of average education.

n plain words, what Pelmanism has te is to take psychology out of the cole and put it into harness for the day's k. It lifts great, helpful truths out of back water and plants them in the ng stream.

s a matter of fact, Pelmanism ought to the beginning of education instead of a edy for its faults. First of all, it ches the science of self-realization; it kes the student discover himself; it acints him with his sleeping powers and ws him how to develop them. The hod is exercise, not or the haphazard but a steady, increasing kind that

[subsumed][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small]

brings each hidden power to full strength
without strain or break.

The human mind is not an automatic
device. It will not "take care of itself."
Will power, originality, decision, resource-
fulness, imagination, initiative, courage-
these things are not gifts but results. Every
one of these qualities can be developed by
effort just as muscles can be developed by
exercise. I do not mean by this that the
individual can add to the brains that God
gave him, but he can learn to make use of
the brains that he has instead of letting
them fall into flabbiness through disuse.

By Judge

limiting their efforts to the development of some single sense. What Pelmanism does is to consider the mind as a whole and treat it as a whole. It goes in for mental team play, training the mind as a unity.

[graphic]

Its big value, however, is the instructional note. Each lesson is accompanied by a work sheet that is really a progress sheet. The student goes forward under a teacher in the sense that he is followed through from first to last, helped, guided and encouraged at every turn by conscientious experts.

Pelmanism is no miracle. It calls for application. But I know of nothing that pays larger returns on an investment of one's spare time from day to day.

(Signed) BEN B. LINDSEY.

Note: As Judge Lindsey has pointed out, Pelmanism is neither an experiment nor a theory. For almost a quarter of a century. it has been shoying men and women how to lead happy, successful, well rounded lives. 550,000 Pelmanists in every country on the globe are the guarantee of what Pelman training can do for you.

No matter what your own particular difficulties are poor memory, mind wandering, indecision, timidity, nervousness or lack of personality-Pelmanism will show you the way to correct and overcome them. And on the positive side, it will uncover and develop qualities which you never dreamed existed in you. It will be of direct, tangible value to you in your business and social life. In the files at the Pelman Institute of America are hundreds of letters from successful Pelmanists telling how they doubled, trebled and even quadrupled their salaries thanks to Pelman training.

"Scientific Mind Training" is the name of the absorbingly interesting booklet which tells about Pelmanism in detail. It is fascinating in itself with its wealth of original thought and clear observation. "Scientific Mind Training" makes an interesting addition to your library.
