Your conscious or objective mind strives to bring the missing information to the surface. to students of thought proces the missing information is stored away in your subconscious or subjective mind, Your conscious mind forgets a lot. But your subcon- scious mind,is:‘supposed to remember —to store away — every thing%you ever encounter from cradle to grave. You've heard how, when a man is drowning, his whole life passes in review before him in a few seconds. subcor displa: its ridden contents to the conscious mind. Thirty-one years ago, Dr. Thomson Jay Hudson wrote a long book, “The Law of Psychic Phenomena.” It towers head and shoulders above everything of a similar nature ever written. Hudson set forth a theory that the subjective (subcon- scious) mind exercises complete control over the functions and sensations of the body. Also, that the subconsicous mind (and, in turn, the functions and sensations of the body) can be controlled by suggestions made to it by the objective or conscious mind. Here’s how Hudson advised readers to cure a nervous headache: “The suggestion must first be made that the headache is about to cease; then, that it is already ceasing; and finally, that it has ceased. These sug- gestions should be made in the form of spoken words. and they should be steadily persisted in until the desired effect is produced. ‘ “A constant reiteration of the declaration that the head is better will inevitably produce the de- sired result. And when the effect is distnictly felt, the declaration should be bodily made that the pain has entirely ceased. “Tf any remnants of pain are felt, the fact should be ignored, and the suggestion persisted in that it has ceased. This should be followed by the declara- tion that there will be no return of the symptoms; and this should be made with an air, tone and feel- ing of perfect confidence.” All this. obviously, is a process of self-hypnotism. son_made quite a sensation in his day. Today only scholars are familiar with his book. But, after 31 years, the tide rolls in again and the followers of Coue are suggesting to | “Every day, and in | their subjeetive (subconscioys) minds: every way, I feel better and better.” isp INDIFFERENCE “Doctors and ministers hold one thought in common,” says Dr. Copeland. New York senator-elect. “They cannot understand why the average man is so indifferent to his preparation for the future.” ‘ : The doctor worries because his silly patients won’t take care’ of their bodies and the minister worries because his silly parishoners won’t take care of their souls, when both dpree that health of body and soul is mostly a matter of taking thought, and the rules are plain. eek And: that isn’t all. “If the individual is indifferent to the things having to do with his own happiness,” said Dr. ’ Copeland;“‘what can be expected of nations, which are sim- ply_great groups of individuals?” “What, indeed? Since national purposes are far less clear than those of individuals, and the more people, the harder it is to agree. naa i So we blunder and blunder, as individuals and nations, merely “muddling through,” except for occasional great | moments of insight and clear purpose. : But even so, the muddling isn’t all waste effort. It is by their mistakes that people and nations learn.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which arp being discussed in the press of the day, THE § EIZURE OF MEMEL | The Germans long complained because the mouths of their river | Rhine were held by Holland. The { Nieman, a Lithuanian and Polish {stream, had its mouth in East Prussia before the War. Memel, | the German fortress on the north side of the river’s mouth, was re- leased by the Treaty of Versailles and confided to the League of ‘tions, which was finally to dispo; of its occupancy and use as seem- ed equitable. The Lithuanians, who have now seized Memel, believe they are but taking their own. It is the one ‘port of any consequence available to them and the territory belongs to them by geographical and ethnical right. But their act is high-handed and violates the Ver- sailles pact as well as the dignity \of the League. In mitigation or justification they can plead their own subjection to the violence of ~~; Poland, which in defiance of both Treaty and League seized and now | holds’ Vilna, the ancient capital of Lithuania, | Lithuania was once merged with | Poland. Both peoples are Slavic and Catholic and much akin as english and Scotch. Indeed, when a king of Lithuania became Polish king, as James VI of Scotland be- came James I of England, Poland rose to greatest power. The best interests of both peoples now would ‘be consulted, if the two would merge; but their mutual animosities are, at the moment, too nce would welcome the con- | solidation, as for j terest in the erec | barrier ate 8 between Germany jand Russia. Such a state would encircle the German Province of Ea Prus and run the whole nce between the Carpathians the Baltic.

For some minutes these enigmatic characters occupied the close attention of the sergeant, then he turned off the last of the lights and left the studio, going directly to the outer hall without a second glance toward the boudoir and bed- room, Big Doane, seated upon the lowest step of the staircase, rose hastily and saluted, “One of the boys came up, sir, to find out about the light in that stu- dio, but I fixed it with him,” he re- marked. “Did you find the answer to what was puzzling you, ser- geant?” - “If I'v found the answer to what was puzzling me, Doane,” he replied “I’ve stumbled) on a bigger mystery yet, and a blacker one.” He found at headquarters Craig had already turned in his port, and the chief was awaiting his own appearance with _ ill-concealed impatience, “What do you think?” the chicf asked. “As to the identity of the mur- derer, sir?” Barry asked, cautious- ly. “I’m quite) certain that several people who might conceivably hay. that i killed Mrs. Vane did not do it, and|g | jthat lets me out for the moment.|' }4 However, I took it upon’ myself to do a little unofficial investigat- ing—” “Of course!
