The Value of Memory.
Money, Derby, Fame.
They're Betting.
Busy Executioners.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Lord Roseberry's horse Plack won
"The One Thousand Guineas” yes
terday. Roseberry, born with a
good brain, is said to have remarked
when a young man that he intended
to become rich, win the Derby and
be prime minister of England. He
got rich by marrying a Rothschild
girl, won the Derby because her
money was able to buy good horses,
became prime minister because he
had power.
But he will have no place of im
portance in history. He might have
had such a place if he hadn’t
thought winning the Derby and
getting money quite as important
as becoming prime minister.
Maum Lotowsky, young Lithuan
ian student, has astonished Har
vard, Tufts and Columbia universi
ties.
When told the date of a man’s
birth he instantly calculates back
and tells the man on what day of
the week he was born, allowing for
changes of the day each year and
for leap years. He works out
logarithmic numbers in his mind,
after glancing at a long list of com
plicated figures repeats them with
out a mistake.
He was sent here to impress upon
us the value of an exact memory.
We are glad to see him, but what,
for the average man, really is the
value of such a memory? To know
things that you need to know, and
where to find anything you want to
know is even more important than
a good memory. The fatter is part
of a useful equipment, inevitably
growing duller, like eyesight, with
the years.
Wall street has made up its mind,
and is betting 8 to 6 that Calvin
Coolidge will succeed himself as
president. The street often guesses
accurately, not always.
New York democrats who think
they know what is going to happen
in the democratic convention, know
ing that Tammany Hall will control
all the seats and all the cheering,
, are betting 1 to 3 on the nomina

tion of A1 Smith, the Tammany
Hall Candidate.
Probably that stimulates the
Coolidge betting in Wall street.
Wall street knows.how the west, the
east, the south, northwest, middle
west and southwest feel about Tam
many Hall.
Yesterday the state of Kentucky
killed three men by electricity, two
white, one colored, one white man,
70 years old. Forty-six minutes
after they began walking to the
death chair, one after the other, all
were dead. Only one spoke, as he
was strapped into the chair. It was
Frank Thomas, white man, who
said, as the light was shut out from
his eyes forever by the electrocu
tion mask, “Good night, I'm going
home.”
i
Wouldn't it be interesting to
know where, how, in what home
those three men will awake—if at
all. Will the black man still be
black, when he comes to and dimly
remembers how he died? Will the
gray-haired murderer still be 70
years old, or begin again as a new
baby? Interesting questions. We
kill men cheerfully enough, thanks
to lack of imagination.
While Kentucky was killing three
bandits by electricity, the state of
Louisiana was hanging six Italians
for the murder of a restaurant
keeper. Cavalry were drawn up to
guard the gallows, extra guards
surrounded the cells of the con
demned men, and most important
American detail, the hangman, was
to get $50 for each hanging, $300
for the day's work. That’s three
times what they pay a hangman in
England, All labor is well reward
ed in the United States, including
the labor of breaking a man’s neck.
The six men convicted of murder
were hanged and went to heaven
or wherever they were going, two
by two, as the animals went into
the Ark, clergymen giving them
what comfort they could.
Be thankful for your good Amer
ican dpllar that stays put and is
worth 100 cents every day.
Foreign money is down, but the
dollar stays fixed. France, Eng
land, Italy, Belgium, the franc,
pound, lira, bob up and down, as
the news changes. The strike of
miners in the Ruhr has cut almost
20 per cent from the value of every
Frenchman's money.
Strikes in Germany are spread
ing dangerously. The hatred and
suffering that will result will pro
vide an excellent “culture” for the
development of the germs of
bolshevism.
Coal mining is stopped in the
Ruhr. France will have to take a
new and decided stand. The strike
movement, which has become a
communist movement, can be put
down, of course, the Germans being
practically unarmed. But it will
take a great deal of shooting.
With the bad news there is al
ways good news. And luckily the
bad news is only for the day. The
really good news lasts forever.
For instance, Dr. Felton of Har
vard university, after five years of
study, has isolated an “antibody”
that kills the germ of pneumonia.
Doctors testify, after experiment
ing with 120 cases, that the death
rate will be cut 25 and possibly 50
per cent. That one discovery will
save more lives every few years
than all the French machine guns
could destroy among the German
mine workers in a year's steady
shooting.

No Adjournment
Until Job Is Ended,
Says R. B. Howell
• j
Nebraska Senator Says Con
gress Must Complete Its
ork Despite Presi
dential Conventions.
Washington, D. C., May II —
With the session within a few
weeks of the Cleveland and New York
conventions it is considered more
than probable that despite the report
ed desire of President Coolidge. that
an adjournment date be fixed early in
June, the session will continue in
definitely Into the summer. This is
due to the following reasons:
Belief by middlewestern insurgents
that important railroad and relief
legislation may be stifled by an early
adjournment.
Belief by democrats that they can
create mischief by continuing the ses
sion.
Inasmuch as democrats and insur
gents, combining, may do as they
please, it is probable that the baking
hot weather will find scions swelter
ing in Washington instead of at honn*
fixing political fences.
Senator R. B. Howell reaffirmed his
determination to join any and all
groups of men who will stand against
adjournment until certain existing
laws he deems necessary for the mid
dlewest are disposed of. Speaking of
this situation, Howell said: "Railroad
lobbyists and railroad legislators have
salted and delayed important meas
ureg in order to make consideration of
the overthrow of the Esrh-Cummins
law impossible at the session.” Fail
ure to act on the repeal of the so
called guaranty clause and other sec
tions of this law at Shis session will,
Howell says, keep the railroads col
lecting millions In exorbitant rates
for at least one more year.” The un
pleasantness of a summer session
should not be considered for a minute
when one Considers the economy to
western shippers If the Esch-Cum
rains law can be amended, Howell
reason*.
Within the last few days Howell
has introduced what Is termed an
"ace it\. the hole” bill. It call* for
loaning *23,000,01)0 to certain foreign
countries for purchase of food prod
ucts. Howell believes that the bill
calling for SIO.OOO.OOO for the same
purpose as a gift, which passed the
house, will never get out of the sen
ate committee, beoause It 1* looked
upon as unconstitutional for the gov
ernment to give away anything.
"I have consulted with other sen
ators favorable to foreign and miiVdle
west relief and they have advised me
this would be the best step to insure
sr,m£ sort of action,” Howell said.
"If the committee doesn't set on the
*10,000.000 bill on constitutional
grounds It. will be faced with a *23,
000,000 bill which cannot be attacked
for lack of constitutionality.”

FRUIT PICKED
FROM TREE, BEST
Fruit, like every other article of
food, not only tastes best, but nour
ishes best when it is fresh. When
has any fruit ever tasted so good
to you as that which you have
picked from the tree?
"And there is a reason," answers
Mr. Byrd, proprietor the Byrd Nur
series, 6801 Dodge street, "The life
growing quality from the tree- flows
into it until the fruit, is ’dead ripe’
hence, the' flavor is a living flavor.
Fruits for shipping, the kind you
buy, are picked before t hey a re ripe.
Which accounts for their unsatisfac
tory flat taste. The only way to he
e*rtain your fruits are ripe and
fresh Is to pick them from your own
trees. It Is such a simple thing to
raise your own berries, apples, plums,
pears, etc. Our nurseries have ohe
of the largest and most complete
lines of fruit trees in the country.
Anyone desiring information on the
variety best to plant should fall our
nursery, the service is free."*
