Any other voluntary effort is positively harmful in connection with ‘autosug- gestion, and will almost certalnly have a contrary effect to the one de- sired.

Thousands of examples of the power of imagination may be found in every- day life. There is the one given by Pascal, and so often cited, but which I cannot help repeating here, because 11t is such a perfect illustration. No one would have the slightest difficulty |in walking along & foot-wide plank placed on the ground. But put the same plank across a street at the height of one of your American sky- | scrapers. Blondel himself would not have dared trust himself on it. Any one who did would assuredly fall to death. No clearer proof of the power of an idea could be desired. There is, however, another striking example in the impunity with which sleepwalker: | perform the most perilous feats, such as wandering about on a roof, hug- ging the extreme edge of it. to the |terror of thejr friends who may { happen to perceive them. If awaken- ied suddenly a sieepwalker in such a | position would inevitably fall. Another Instance Cited. Here is another. Dr. Pinaud in his jbook, “De la Phillsophie et de la Longevite,” relates that in the middle jof a large dinner party the cook rushed in to anrounce that she had made a mistake ant mixed arsenic with the food instead of some other ingredient! Several persons werp immediately seized with pains and sickness, which only ceased when‘the cook came back to say that it was a false alarm; there had been no such dreadful error! I have said enough to prove the irresistible influence of the idea, or imagination, over the physical or- ganism. It determines pain, move- ment, emotions, sensations. Its effect | is both moral and physical. We may | loglcally conclude, therefore, that human allments, which are nothing but disturbance of the natural equilibrium of all the elements of our being, can be cured by the right kind of Ildea or suggestion. To begin with, there is in every disease, of no matter what nature, a | moral factor which no doctor can afford to ignore. Some medical au- thoritles in France estimate this | pioral factor as representing from {40 to 50 per cent of the chances of | recovery. A patient who says to him- 1self “I am getting better” vastly in- | creases his vital forces and hastens | his recovery. By gently putting our imagination on the right track we are sure of alding nature, who mani- fests herself through the medium of our subconscious self. The instinct of self-preservation is but a mani- festation of nature. At the first sound of alarm shc hastens to the rescue. A cut finger, or other wound, is followed by a rush of red globules to the injured part. That wonderful ous self of ours does it. For and commands every move- ment of our being, every contraction of our heart, the minutest vibration of every cell in our organism. It Is | the sublime instrument which we are 1so apt to misuse by allowing bad. | disturbing or discouraging thoughts to interfere with its work. instead of allowing it to function smoothly and harmoniousiy. Discusses Alleged Miracies. Miracles are attributed to the fakirs of India. Legend or tact, I know not, ibut It is certainly true ghat they do some most wonderful ings simply because they are taught from their infancy to know and make use of the limitless unseen and yet unexplained forces latent in us—which can- be awakened by thought. I am often asked: What are the limitations of autosuggestion? 1 re- ply, I really do not know. The cures I have seen have appeared sometimes so amazing, so incredible, that { de- cline theoretically to place any limit at all, although, of course, | must inslst nothing must be expected from autosuggestion which is _obviously outside the domain of material poss bilities. For instance, it woull be absurd to ask for the growth of a new arm or a new leg, daspite the fact that the lobster seems to know how to grow a new claw when it is necessary! S There are persons who by long practice and concentration have ac- quired an amazing power over, their bodily functions. Cases are known to the medical faculty of Parls of men able to increase at will the speed of their heartbeats from 90 to 120, or diminish it to such a degres that the heart seems almost to stop still. Will Detall Actual Cases. In another article I shall talk of the diseases actually cured by auto- suggestion, and in general of its sphere of curative possibilities. Let it be thoroughly realized that thought, or suggestion, is able to mold the hu- man body, as a sculptor chnlseis h clay. Thought is an act; it {s more than Bernheim belleved when he wrote: “Suggestion s an idea which can be transformed into action. Certain it is that cases declared to be incurable have been cured hy auto- suggestion. And not only diseases of a functional nature. Sores and wounds of long standing which had resisted all other treatment: been healed rapidly by sugy Was it not Dr. Carnot who said wounds of victorious soldiers heal more rapidly than those of the van- quished?” 1 can declare without hesitation that whatever the illness the practice of rational autosuggestion will al- ways effect an appreciable improve- ment in the patient's condition, even if the disease itself be materially in- curable.

WATER COLOR CLUB HAS FINE EXHIBIT Admirable Display Is on View at Twenty-Seventh An- nual Showing. ! The Washington Water Color Club opened Its twenty-seventh annual ex- hibition today in the special exhibi- tion gallery of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Over 158 exhibits are set forth and an admirable display is made. ‘Water color s a delightful medium, and its widely varied possibilities are admirably {llustrated by the pictures in this exhibition. There are so many and there is always some new way to be discovered. It is this variableness, this individuality of expression, this freedom from leading sirings that makes modern art peculiarly interest- Ing and at the same time rather dis- tracting. Style in painting today Is more o less like that flea of popular renown—difficult to put one’s finger on, impossible to card catalogue and file. Mrs. Wharton 4n her most recent novel calls attention to the fact that art exhibitions, like the drama of to- day, are not built around & few stars, and it is perhaps for this reason, which a novelist rather than art critic discovered, that prizc awards are so seldom satisfactory. Many Fine Exhib! It would be next to impossible to select either for award or for special distinction the best plcture in the Water Color Club's exhibition. There are many equally good, and each in wn particular way. Take, for in- nce, the flat wall of the semi- circular gallery, Here are three little I Abbott. “Guinea “Low Tide' rich in color, warm in tone and what Mr. Cortissoz would call “julcy.” With them is hung a water color by Joh F. Carlson entitled “Ice-Bound Mill in which the color is cool and clear and the treatment sprightly. Beyond these are found four paint- ings by Willlam H. Holmes, president of the Water Color Club, “A Glimpse of the Potomac,” “Maryland” “Com- muning With Nature” and “The Open Sea,” the last two hung one above the other, the one showing direct treat- ment, the other .a fantasy, a lovely plece of color; the former reallstic, the other pureiy romantic. From these one passes to a con- sideration of a painting by Benson B. Moore, “Morning Light'” the tech- nique of which is extraordinary, the color being lald on with almost scien- tific accuracy in little dry, crisp patches, but in such wise as to pro- duce a m charming effect. The com- position is really commonplace, but it is made lovely by the interpreta- tion of the illusion of light and air. Francis Watts, in a picture entitied “The Pool,” showing rocks, water and foliage, employs somewhat the s: method. but with a little more loo ness, and produces a picture which would take its place among the best known works in this medium—a really fine achlevement. C. H. Benjamin shows a little picture entitled “On the Canal” done in pure color, but with sparkling brilliancy. A new exhibitor, Julius Delbos, shows four paintings, foreign subjects, ‘“‘Au- gust in England,” = ‘Wi § France or Italy,” “Mo; and “Bridge at Cahors,” which likewise are in pure color, brililant accomplish- ments, In their own way gems, works which when stumbled across give the observer the thrill of delight which be- Jongs to discovery of unknown talent as well as continents, “Morning in France' shows a group of houses happily nestling among the hills and is ex- ceptional for its nicely related vaNies as_well as excellent draftsmanship. ‘Walter Hough, in his_picture of “The Great Di . and Emma Men- in _her painting entitled " both use broad' washes and give suggestion of spaciousness in a more than pleasing manne: Place of Homor. The place of honor on this flat wall has been assigned to a painting of Ithe sea by Elizabeth Sawtelle, which well merits the honor, for it is a big subject, strongly and broadly handle in a way which indicates not only mastery of material but also feeling { for desien. Arthur Musgrave's picture of “A Farm Yard” is an excellent tran- scription, full of light and air and shows excellent handling. B. Z. Cooper's “Golden Sunset” and “Famous Pathways” are imaginative studies washed in with a flowing brush, suggestive of pleasant ex- cursions into the land of experiment, contrasting” sharply thus with the frank realism with which Alfred Hutty’s nearby picture is engagingly rendered. Passing _to the semi-circular wall attention is attracted by the several {exnbits contributed by Edgar Nve, large pletures, boldly rendered with excellent. effect, among which fal mention should be made of his sep- scape entitled “Maine.” g Gertrude B.

UNFORM TRAFFI RULESARE RGED Accidents and Cenfusion Co_uld Be Cut if Regulations " Coincide, Says Eno. 0 | | | | l Uniform trafic regulations through- | out the country were advocated by | Wililam Phelps Eno, head of the Washington Safety Council, in an address on "Engineering Aspects of Traffic” before members of the So-| clety of Automotive Englneers at the Cosmos Club last night. | “It {8 beginning to be realized that| the police departments or boards of | aldermen of the various cities and towns sfiould not be allowed to make their own general highway traffic regulations” sald Mr. Eno. who declared that the confusion and lack of unformity had brought about a much larger number of accldents than if the rules were uniform. Mr. Eno urged that the officer in| charge of traffic In a clty be selected | for his natural ability, open mind- | edness and willingness to experiment. The Councll ot National Defense code of general highway traffic fegula- tions, which would be sultable for the largest city and smallest village, was mentioned by Mr. Eno. who| stated that it would be impossible to | get absolute uniformity throughout | the country, because of special regu- lations that might be needed in some localities. Pralses Rotary System. The rotary system of handling traf- fic at circles and intersections wa¥ highly praiced by Mr. Eno. who es- | mentfoned the circles and | Intersections on 16th strest and Massachusetts avenue and 1oth street and Pennsylvania avenue as some of | the many &pots in Washington where | this particular system would prove ftgelf effective. | Referring to the trafic situation In New York elty, Mr. Eno pointed out that alterations which could have been made @ few years ago at a_ reasonable cost would now cost Little traffic regu- lation folders for distrfbution to the public, as well as concise rules placed where the public can easily see them and the examining of drivers before tssulng them licenses were some of | the things sugsested by Mr. Eno. | Declaring that the United co-ordination of all transportation and which would, in an emergency that threatened (o] paraiyze the industry and transnor- tation of the country, fnsure t.e peo- ple of the country food, fuel and other necessities of life, MaJ. Brain- | erd Taylor of ‘the Quartermaster ! Corps explained the details of the plan to the members of the society. | Recalling the success of centraliz- | tem of the ., F. in France during the war, | Maj. Taylor explained that in_ order | to have an efiiclent and effective high transport eystem in this country it would be necessary to| have the control of this means ol" communication centralized. Provides for Nine Areas. The country under the Army plan into nine motor transport areas, the same as the mili- tary corps areas. These areas would then be organized each with a cen- | tral control. which fn turn would be | governed from a single center, pos- sibly Washington. 1In each of the reas two units would be used, | one a ten-mile radius unit for city motor transport collection and de- | livery and the other a fifty-mile radius for country transport motor service. The question of repairs and maintenance of the trucks is also taken care of in the formation of the various central -controls in the aif-| ferent areas. The various units es- tablished in the areas would be plac- | ed with relation to a system of rail- | roads that would be merged for oper- ation in commerce or during an| emergency. i The value of the co-operation of a national motor transport svstem with | the railroads of the country and their use in relieving the railroads of ex- | pensive short hauls was pointed out by Maj. Taylor. i Col. ¥, H. Pope presided as chair- man of the meeting. | FOR A very available i place 2t | circumstances FFAREBIREAD ORI IS URGED enator Spencer Introduces Bill to Put Work Under One Head. A bill to establish a department of public welfare in the District of Co- lumbia, completely reorganizing the system of dealing with charities and correctional instftutions, was intro- duced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Spencer of Missouri, repub- lican. The Lill was referred to the Senate District committee, which al- ready has before it several other measures proposing a reorganization of the District charities. The Spen- cer bill s identical with one intro- duced in the last Congress by Senator Dillingham of Vermont, a member of the District committee. The bill proposes that the depart- ment of welfare shall be under the control of one director, assisted by & board of five advisers appointed by the District Commissioners. The direztor would have charge of the administration of charities and would be instructed to_organize the work in djvisions. The advisory board would be empowered to suggest policies, which would be binding upon the director unless his objectfon thereto was sustained by the District Commissioners. The department of welfare would have legal guardia ¢ hip of dependent or delinquent children where parents and guardians were unable to care for them. Temporary homes would be used by the department in recefv. Ing and caring for these children. The department would have general su- pervisory powers over the chil T ing institutions and the formulation of policies relating to caring for chil- dren. The bill embodies a plan for com- pulsory school attendance which is similar to that contained in_the Cap- per bill already passed by the Senate and awaiting action in the House. MRS. RUTH J.
