The book was Henry "Georg-e'a "Progress and Pov erty." the factor In Berol's life that changed the whole current of his career. For he found that he couldn't remember anything he read, so he hunted books on memory. For seven months after that first night he ,was kicked around from the pillar of Cooper Union to the post of Astor library as a loafer. For some times, even though ho was Interested greatly, he would nod over his book; dishwashing for twelve hours was rather fatiguing. But he read voraciously on (he subject that was fascinating his awaken ing mind. He began to plan a little sys tem by which he could remember things. In seven months he was on the vaudeville stage as "Berol, the Mental Marvel, with 6.000 Foots In Ills Head." Mr. Berol smiles deprectlngly now at that paltry store of Information, for to day there are sixty times 6,000. Yet he mttlgatcn the deprecation by asking, "What do you know? What knowledge has the ordinary man outside his bus! noss? How much of ,yqur college educa tion have you retained? Then ho reels off the history of the war of the Spanish suc cession or gives. In full the construction ! of the dlgestVve system. . Practical System. How did he do It? What Is his secret? The system Is one of "hooks" and "slips." all very mysterious to the un initiated, but quite dimple and practical to the men. who knows. Every single fact to bo acquired Is written down on a stlp of paper, on the other side of which Is, the "hook," or suggestive Idea. The student, by repeat el reference to these slips, soon learns the "hook," and threby, of course, Instantly can recall the associated fact "We use the principle of assimila tion," said Mr. Berol recently, "when wo find. Imagine, or matte a.' word, which Ib easier for us to remember than the word -wo are. trying to remember. Those assimilations are called handphones. As names of persons, for Instance, generally mean little or nothing to us, they are hard to remembej. By assimilating; those bard-to-remember words into words which mean something to us, which therefore are easily remembered, we will be able to recall the names of people, without difficulty. A little practice soon will enable ua to find homophones to fit any name which wo may encounter. There Is no name, however strange, for which a homophune ma not be fouVid. "The homophone . easily may be asso ciated with something1 about the person's features, business peculiarities. There are several kinds of associations, that of similarity, of contrast, of succession; of contiguity;' It depends entirely upon your power of Imagination. For Instance, take that portly woman yonder. The most striking; thing about her Is that she Is fat. We find .that her name Is Fry. See, how easy that Is. There Is a tailor named Nutting. Assimilation: Nutting nothing. Association: It Is very seldom that one can get a good suit for nothing. Association Is Eaaeatlal. "Memory never starts on Us own- ac count: association Is absolutely essen tial. Although memories are by no reasoning- power, they constitute an Im portant part of the act of remember ing." Just by way of experiment a few questions were put to Mr. Merol. "When was Mendelssohn bornT' asked the reporter. "On the third of February, 180," came the Instant reply. "How long is the Rlvsr JordanT" ' extends sixty miles, though It really ls 200 miles In length." "What Is the population of Ceylon? "Four hundred and thirty-eight thou sand four hundred and flfty-slx, with an area of 25,100 square miles." "Who Invented the sewing midline?"" "Ellas Howe. He exhibited the ma chine first on September 10, 1S." "What town are you trom?" asked' Mr. Berol, turning questioner himself. "Illchmond, Ind. Can you give ' me population?" "Twenty-two thousand three hundred and twenty-foir." "I knew It Was somewhere around 83,000," replied th reporter. "Which approximate knowledge Is my reason for conducting a memory course," said Mr. Berol. In teaching his class at the Young Men's Christian association, Mr. Herol gives a little talk. "It Is to easy to be exact," he says, "and so few people are. Now it really Is what counts. Read them every spare moment, review thqm''pach week, 'and I meantime keep adding new facts to your store." Knar to Remrtaber "Hook." Mr Berol explains' that the hook Is al ways the simplest thing about the tact, and' that remembering It requires no ef fort. That the fat woman is fat hits you In the face; that her name Is Fry Is not so obvious.' Furthermore, you are positive that her name la Fry after you have onco learned It. Mr. Berol's system Is one by which a man can recall In an orderly way, facts which come to other people by chance If at all. "I quit the vaudeville stage a year ago," said Mr. Berol, "because I did not like to show oft as well as I like to show how " During an engagement In Chicago, just a year ago, Mr. Berol was attending a trial In which tlie decision hinged upon the population of two cities, namely, Bprlrurfleld and Peoria, 111. Proceedings halted, books were lugged out', and au thorities called upon. Nobody knew. Tho court was about to bo dlsinlsscdwhen a slip of paper wan handed to the Judge. Upon It was written the exhet population of each city. After the Atrial the Judge called for the man who had supplied tho Information. "Are you a freak, or dtd'.you Just hap pen to know the . population1' of. those cities?" -I have a'.liftnrerj' system," replied thtr vaudevllle entertainer. "Can you teach It to otHera?" "lean." As a result, Mr. BerotVbegan the In struction of a class of Chicago assistant district attorneys, and achieved eudh suc cess that he later tool? class 'of S00 medical students. , "Your possibilities are unlimited," Mr. Berol tells his classes '.'if yqu have an accurate memory. But, though I can teach you to train ;your ;nemory, the mainspring of successes In yourself. You must keep alert andori the watcji. Head your Emerson on self-reliance, study your slips. Improve your spare moments, and then see If you're not happier niien." New York Times. WORKING GIRL'S LONELY LIFE Move for Betterment of Those With out the Protection of Home, In almost every larKo tlty In Ihlii cpim try ars organised efforts In which women generally take the lead (a service that can not bo too fervently acknowledged) tp take care In many ways of the great mass of young women wh,p i)ust work for a living. Bomo of these have real homes; some, homes only in name- with. no homo care; some the hall bedroom, and eat as you please; all on wages that come near the minimum. It .la needless to say that the temptations and hard ships of such a life are great. Among tho greatest la that ot loneliness and lack of safeguard In the enjoyment of amuse ments or recreation, which Is Implanted In every healthy human being. The race would go mad without it and many of these poor girls do go mad In an awful sense from this very lack. Bo tljere la no more Important work that any city can undertake than to provide rational amusement for the mass of young women who are fighting the battle of life alone. Tho constant crimes committed against women, the purso snatching and far worse, like the murder of that Chicago nursa who answered an advertisement alone after night at a place out on the pralrla edge of the city, counsel us that women should begin to toko care of themselves as the women of Europe do. and that there shall come In a. general manner or custom of chaperonage. The streets of any city in broad daylight with young girls roaming at will alone and courting a 'publicity that Is unwholesome ought to suggest fresh work from the many agencies that make for good in this time of great development of our so cial Ufo. But of all the greatest Is that provision for those that are thrown on their own resources. A girls' protective league In Detroit Is at work to drive drink from any connec tion' w)th public dance halls. That alone would do away with many worso evils that go with Uiem, for a dance hall where no drink Is accessible and where proper conduct Is Insured by chaperonage has no attraction for men whose contact Is evil. DetTott, like many other cities. Is going to secure for young girls proper places for public dancing. Such ought to be the work of good people in every city. No one needs help In so many ways as the girl who works for her living and In nothing does she need It more than in protection- in amusements and recreation aa an offset for the horrible loneliness that besets her life every day, when she Is not bound up with toll. There Is no nobler field for high endeavor than this. Indianapolis News. BARTON AFTERjiOULD ROAD; Wants Government to Collect Three Million Dollars.
