ASKS RESTORATION - OFSB00000MEM War Secretary Wants Con- * gress to Provide Army Quarters at Fort Myer. Plans have been made at the War Department to have each of the fight- ing arms of the Army suitably repre- sented at the National Capital. There are garrisons of cavalry and fleld artillery at Fort Myer, of coast ar- tillery at Fort Hunt, Va.; of en- gineers at Fort Humphreys, Va., and of Infantry at Fort Washington. For | many reasons it is deemed desirable to have at least a regiment of in- fantry near the seat of government. Fort Myer Best for Purpose. After a study of the situation it was found that the reservation at Tort Myer was best adapted for the purpose, having the necessary acreage and already provided with roads, drill zrounds, water and sewerage, It was estimated that suitable quarters for officers and enlisted men of a complete regiment could be erected there at a cost of $500,000. An esti- mate of that amount was included in tha regular War Department budget submitted to Congress. The desired appropriation was omitted from the Army bill passed by-the House, how- ever, and Secretary Weeks and Gen. Lassiter of the general staff of the Army are endeavoring to have the item put into the bill by the Senate. Will Transter Battalion. Tn case of favorable action it is planned to transfer a full battalion of infantry to Fort Myer, as soon as that post is made ready, from the nfantry garrisons at Fort Eustls, Va. and elsewhere in the 3d Corps Arca.

MALLGRY PTURE T EVRESTELINB IExpedition Leader Tells of Hardships and Obstacles in Way of Success. GEORGE LEIGH MALLORY. George Leigh Mallory, a leader of the Mount Everest expedition which tried to climb the highest mountain tn the world, last evening was in- troduced to a National Geographic Society audience by Robert F. Griggs. the man who explored the largest active voleanic cavity in the world— that of Mount Katmai, in Alaska. “I am certain that it is possible to climb Mount Everest,” the speak- er sald. “The problem is to conduct the next expedition, in view of the exceriences we have gained, in the most reasonable and effective way.” Mr. Mallory explained that the di- vergence in views about the utility of oxyvgen tanks did not relate to the beneficlal effects of using oxygen itself, but in the problem of organi- zation, which is made necessary by getting the heavy oxygen tanks to a point within easy iking distance of the mountain top. Climb of No Unwe. Mr. Mallory began his talk, which was the first lecture in this country on the expedition and the first show- ing of the pictures taken, by saying that he would e to reply to the question, “What is the use of climb- ing Everest?’ by answering, “It is of no use” He explained tjfat the party did not seek to climb thé moun- tain in hope of any scientific finds, but in response to that epirit of ad- venture and of pitting human intel- ligence against natural objects which he characterized as the common heri- tage of Enslish and American tradl- tion. The speaker's final leg of his without oxyge to 27.000 feet, was vivid. He explained that this last stage was not a dash, but an arduous description of own climb, the made and glacial surface, wherein, by rhythmic movements and careful “form,” ‘every bit of lung capacity had to be conserved. Lungs Did the Work. “Our lungs did the work,” he said. ‘Our object was to keep them filled, knowing that our legs would follow on."” Upon a narrow shclf of a peak above the clouds Mallory and his companion Norton slept for a night at .an altitude greater than man hitherto had climbed. And there the inconsequential became serious. A frozen ear of his comrade caused him considerable annoyance, because it permitted him to sleep only on one side. Took a Nip of Brandy. “We had the advice of doctors that, in such altitudes, alcoholic stimulant was not desirable,” the speaker said, 0 we took a nip of brandy. tate to mention this; having a high regard for the laws of your country and the opinion of the doctors. But it gave us the stimulus necessary— the mental stimulus, at least—to continue.” In describing the other ascent from the base camp, made by George I. Finch, Mr. Mallory told how oxygen tanks' restored the warmth and vi- tality of that party during a night when they became benumbed from the sharp winds—protectors of the “Goddess Mother of the Snows” and chief enemy of those who would con- quer her towering peaks. account.

S OF GETTING AMERICAN IMPRESSIONS By EMILE COUE ARTICLE VI. Few things have struck me more forcibly in my contact with Amer- icans than the ceaseless activity of their minds. Less precise, less un- erringly logical, perhaps, in its work- ing than the French or Latin mind in general, the American mind im- presses me as more open in character, more pliable and more imaginative than the European. In many respects it is curiously Celtic in its manifesta- tions. The Celts have always possessed strong imagination; their history and literature have been stamped by it May be my own Celtic origin is re- sponsible in a measure for my faith in the principles of autosuggestion. The Celtic weakyess, however, is a tendency often to sacrifice redson to imagination, instead of disciplining It as one should do, in order to attain real self-mastery. The revelation of the American mind came to me through the ques- tions put to me at my lectures and in private conversations. In France few questions are put to me in public, and those which I am called upon to answer usually have a bearing on | the actual why and wherefore of my theories. The French mind prefers first to discuss and argue on the fundamentals of a principle before Inquiring into its practical adapt- ability to everyday life. The American mind, on the con- trary, immediately sees the possibili- tles cf it und secks, without more de- lay. to carry the idea further even than the author of it may have con- celved. 1f the Idea seems reasonable the American is ready to take it for granted, temporarily, at least, that its exponent thereof is right, but his in and fertiie imagination lead him to perceive a vista of developments along lines still untraced. Adaptation to Business. To give an example. At a recent lecture T was asked: “Can autosyg- gestion be adapted to business?” And at Cleveland pevhaps one of my most appreciative and attentive audiences wad one composed exclusively ot business men who, fearing they might not all succeed in getting admission to the ordinary public ones, had or- ganized a surprise seance, at which they could have me all to themselves. I told them what I had eald in answer to the auestion guoted above: Of course autosuggestion can be adapted to business. "And I have reaton to belleve that they were convinced. As a matter of fact, in business, as in everything else, we employ it con- stantly, though’ often unconsciously. The man of business, or the indus- trialist, or the salesman who has in his mind that he is going to succeed. that he is going to “put through” his deal, will certainly do so—if it be materially possible, of course, because there must necessarily be circum- stances sometimes quite outside the control of one individual. But, apart from exceptional and un- known factors, nothing can prevent the realization of the projects of a man or woman imbued with the pri ciples of autosuggestion. Such a per- son has confidence in himself. His mind dwells on the elements of suc- cess. His imagination is trained In the same direction. And the idea be- comes, quite logically, a reality. T might speak of another aspect of the question, and show that a man who knows the power of suggestion would know how to use it to influence others, but that would carry me too far. The possibilities of it, however, are obvious, although it should be clearly understood that I am not al luding to anything- even remotely connected with hypnotism. Knowledge of Ferce. Advertising, which is only 2 manner of employing the force of autosug- gestion, is always more effective When it is done with a proper knowl- edge of that force. Americans, by the way, must be gifted with it uncon- sclously, jud[h\f by the clever, scien- tific wielding of it manifested on all sides in the advertising methods over here. The handling of big staffs is also made easier by autosuggestion. The man who knows how to put himself in the right frame of mind to accomplish the, task he has set himself will know equally well how to stir and keep the enthuslasm of others working for him. Indeed, even without any conscious ef- fort on his part, the personality of such a man inevitably tunes the minds of his collaborators to the same chord of achievement. s An unusual query, but.typical of the American habit of seeing things from every angle, was flung to me one day. “Would autosuggestion be of any use to the uncivilized tribes of Africa and Asia? And could they understand Now, that question seems at first sight to be almost on a par with the inquiry whether autosuggestion would benefit the insane, although a very little reflec- tion suffices to reveal the difference. ‘Whereas the mind of the insane . is obviously impervious to a mere idea, which therefore cannot reach his sub- consclous mind, the mind of ’a healthy African, incapable as it may be to analyze an abstract theory, yet is quite able to understand a simple suggestion, either of a moral or a physical charac- ter. So I replied that, in my opinion, there is no reason why autosyggestion should be less efficacious with the Afri- can tribesman than. with the citizen of New York. The missionary who per- suaded . the cannibal that if he per- sisted in his scheme. of making a meal of him the result would be violent indi- gestion is a famous jllustration of this. - Practice Can'Be Dangerous. Then I am frequently asked if the practice of ‘autosuggestion ‘can’ be dangerous.’ Most certainly it can. That 18 why we need to learn all about it. There are bad suggestions as well as good, and the subconscious mind registers them all. The main idea of my principles of autosugges- tion is to teach control of the sub- conscious mind or iagination, so as to exclude everything that is not good and useful. " In other words, one must not be the slave, but the master of one’s subconscious mind. I am told that & number of people try to explain the success of auto- suggestion and the cures effected by | it by declaring that I employ a kind |of hypnotism. Nothing is more un- | true or more absurd to anybody who has the smallest acquaintance with | the principles of Rypnotism, and 1 | would not mention®it. here, but for Ilh» fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people liable to be in- fluenced by such allegations lightly thrownsin the air. I did study hyp- |notism once, many years ago.’ but | abandoned it completely. . Those who witness the experiments I make in { public know that I avold looking the Bubjects in the eyes or doing any- thing that might cause my own per- sonality to exer. undue or ab- normal influence on them. That alone dissipates 'all possibility of hypnotic effects, ural force of my personality any suc- cess achieved by my teaching. I say emphatically that mv personality is of no account in the matter, save fn the sense that I may happen to have powers of persuasion that calls forth faith and it is faith that heals. That s all. No Limit on Formula. Another question which. amuses me rather, and which is put to me everywhere. is: “If I don't get any relief by reciting the “day by day” \formula twenty times, should T re- cite It thirty, forty or fifty times? I generally answer: Say it as man times as you like: only don't let it become an obsession.” In a public statement to the press I have dealt with the question of the alleged antagonism of autosugges- tion. I need only repeat that auto- suggestion fs in no way antagonistic to any religion. It can be practiced with “or without religion. But 1 might add that autosuggestion is not a philosophy—at least, not in the sense usually given to the term. Autosuggestion Is simply the act of making of the forces with which nature has endowed us for the bene- fit_of our own moral, mental and physical well'being. It does no more prevent anyone froh holding the philosophy of life corresponding to his or her temperament or mind than it pre- cludes a belief in particular religious principles. &t is only an instrument.

The closing efforts of the Garfield Hospital campaigners is now under way. Chairman Clarence A. Aspin- wall has announced that the cam- paign will be definitely concluded at the rally lunch to be held by the workers at the City Club next Mon- day. The amount raised so far is $315,000, 80 that $185,000 must be obtained by Monday to reach the $500,000 goal Every effort iv being made, Mr. As- pinwall said. to raise the required sum, because the two new bulldings for construction of which the fund is needed must be put up as soon as possible to meet the dangerous short- age of hospital rooms. Mr. Aspinwall said that the goal would have been passed by now if the campaign workers had been able to_see more people. “Our campaign forces,” he explained, “have been se- riously cut down by the grip, which has eliminated whole teams at once. With far less workers than we should have, we have come reasonably close to the goal, and we shall bend all our energies toward reaching it by Monday. ““A large number of people whom the workers have not been able to see have malled checks of their own accord to campalign h!ldqu{r!er! and to the hos- pital. Many of these gifts have been of very substantial amounts. These people obviously realize that Washing- ton faces a hospital shortage that must be met, and that only the people them- selves can meet it. Show Generosity of Pablic. “I am glad to see so many of these gifts, because they show that the is beginning to understand how serious the problem of its hospital facilities has become. But I wish it could be explained to every one who sends such a gift that it need not be given in cash; the plan of payment we have adopted. provides for six equal monthly installments, beginning February 15. “We adopted the deferred-payment plan because it makes it much easler for one to contribute as much as he might wish, taking it out of his in- come instead of his savings. The same rule applies to memorial gifts; one may establish a $1,200 room permanently, for instance, by giving 3200 on February 16 and the same amount every six months thereafter until the total is contrfbuted, a time of two and a half years. “Business men should bear in mind also that they may deduct their gift to the hospitals from their net tax- able incomes on their income tax re- turns; thus the government, by re- ducing the tax, shares in the gift. Expenses Separate. “Another point that will appeal espe- clally to business men,'who want to know just what their money is to be used for, is that all campaign ex- penses have been separately provided for by the trustees, so that every dollar contributed by the public will &0 untouched to the actual construc- tion of new buijdings. “Memorial_subscriptions have begn most popular, and a large number have been made, but many are still available _at prices ranging from $1,200-up to- $75,000. These gifts, it SeemsS to me, are a most attractive means of honoring some friend or relative, and at the same time they are a splendid form of community effort. Moreover, as one man who took a $1,200 room said, they are a form of ‘health insurance’; they pro- vide for the safety of one’s own fu- ture. On the other hand, just as much good is done proportionately by _smaller gifts, a large number of which are being made, “It ‘should be pointed out especially that the rooms to-be provided in the | new Garffleld buildings are -to be avallable at-the lowest possible rates, in some cases even below cost; this will help meet one of the greatest neds of our city_—hospital rooms wi in-reach of those having small' in- comes. As Dr. Francis R. Hagner said, “There {8 a crying need in Washing- ton at the present time for hospital rooms at rates that people of moder- ate-incomes can afford to pay.’” FIVE-YEAR JAIL TERM..

BY ARTHUR WEIGELL. By Cable to The Btar. LUXOR, Egypt, January 27.—I do not think there has been any descrip- tion of the inside of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen since space-to move about in it has been obtained by the removal of many .piled up articles of furniture which made the original views so confusing. I went down into it this morning and naw that the stage is set, 80 to speak, for the opening of the inner chamber, where the mummy or mummies are expected to,be found, it will be as well to redord my impressions. One descends a steep flight of rock- cut steps and walks down a square, sloping passage, neatly hewn out of limestone. Suddenly, at the end, one steps down into the middle of 2 long, narrow chamber running at, right langles to the entrance. Tais chamber is, I suppose, about twenty-five feet long, twelve feet broad, and nine feet high and is now illuminated by two glaring electric lamps attached to the bare wall on efther: side of the, entrance. Pink Plaster Partition. The north wall, on the right as one enters, is covered with smooth, pink plaster. This is evidently a built par- tition, whereas the other walls are more or less white and hewn out of the living rock. In this wall there {8 a blocked-up doorway, leading to the burial chamber. Thie doorway s smeared over With gray cement on which are many impressions and large seals of Tutankhamen and the necropolis of the priests, all cut into the cement with masterly rkill. It looks as though the chamber ex- tended beyond- the wall and that one end of this same chamber has been par- titioned off for the actual burial pur- | poses. On either side of the blocked-up doorway is a_wooden statue of the king, the body and limbs painted black, and the headdress, skirt, sandals, and so forth, covered in gold leaf, which looks very ‘burnished in the glare of the elec- tric lights, but which is undoubtedly of great value. These two figures face inward from two corners of the room and therefore they :re not in the way of the opening of the doorway between them, but presumably they will be re- moved before that operation begins. Cost of Upkeep Expenses of maintaining the vice presidential mansion offered to the government by Mrs. John B. Hender- son as a memorial to her late husband and her son would not be as great as has been suggested by members of Congress, who expressed the fear that large annual appropriations would be added to the cost of gov- ernment by the acceptance of the gift Discussing this phase of tbe mat- ter, Mrs. Henderson said today: “Considering that the expenses of rental, taxes, wine and automobile service would be eliminated. main- tenance fund of either $10,000 or $15.000 annually would seem to me ample for other household expenses. “Fashion now dictates dinners be very much shorter and simpler than formerly. More or less of din- ners and teas would not entall great expense. Qld-time crushes in the way of Invited receptions are also of the past. Could Divide Receiving. “Numberless delegations from all over our country visit or have their meetings in Washington. They all expect to be received by the mistress of the White House. Such and other duties of the sort have contributed to undermine the strength of the present charming and willing hos- tess. The mistress of the vice presi- dential establishment could well di- vide these responsibilities, with little or no expense. “Aside from the entrance floor the house is not so large as supposed. It i{s also compact and not too high. There are two furnaces, so that the large ballroom and other rooms, as for that. need not be heated'except- {ing for use; and the inclosed winter garden, looking out from both the dining room and library, is to be fur- ther planted with evergreen hardy shrubs—plants which require no more trouble nor expense than for a sum- mer outdoor garden. “The heating is very simple. as sun- shine alone over glass provides a de. FARM CREDIT HEARINGS WILL START WEDNESDAY House Banking Committee Will Push Measure to Increase Crops. Hearings on the Capper farm credits bill will-be started next Wednesday by the House banking committee, Chalrman ! McFadden announced today. At the same time a subcommittee will begin hearings on various related farm relief measures, including that for financing the export of agricultural products. The Strong bill, proposing-important lendments to the federal farm loan ct, was reported out today by the bank- ing committee. It would authorize loans for the purchase of land for agricultural uses and for the purchase of such equip- ment, fertilizers and live stock as may be necessary for the proper and reason- able operation of -a mortgaged farm. Provision also would be made/for an Increase In the loan maximum from $10,000 to $16,000, with the federal farm loan hoard being authorized in special instances to grant loans up to $25,000. Extension to the farmers of tho country of the same credit facilities | now afforded other business was ad- vocated In the Senate yesterday by Senator Smith, democrat, South Caro- lina, during debate on the Lenroot- Anderson rural credit bill. Senator Smith said he could under- stand the hesitancy of- Congress to put the farmers on the same plane as regards credit facilities as commerce and industry generally, and ‘advised against legislation for credit exten- sion which would be nothing but-a “chip” as compared to what the farm- era should be given. He urged par- ticularly amendment of the federal reserve act to extend the eligibility. for rediscount of agricultural paper from six to twelve months, instead of trom six to nine months, as ded in the Capper rural credit ‘bill and in_the Lenroot-Anderson measure. The extension to twelve months, coupled with such administration of the federal reserve act as would a preciate fully the farmers’ problem: would furnish.ample relief for agri- culture. Senator Bmith declared. Senator King, democrat, Utah, dis- cussing the pending bill briefly, cited the increase.in farm mortgages as re. vealed by the-last census, and assert- ed that “the country has gone mad on the subject of credit.” He-added that the farmers needed improved marketing_ facilities more than_addi- tional credit.

Here, somewhat to the left, is another sealed door, but a large, jagged hole been made in the lower part by an anclent robber. Through this aperture one obtains a dim view of the mass of funeral furniture, as yet untouched. couches still stand there, but a third | has been removed, as I described re- cently. They are great, tall, heavy af- tairs, these couches; one has the sides tashioned ~ to represent elongated lions and the other hippopotami. They are not beautiful or high art, in spite of their intrinsic value, but 100k more like pantomime props or stage sets. I remember in the smashed-up tomb of Horemheb, one of Tutankhamen's successors, we found both hippopota- mus and lion heads carved in wood. These were somewhat of a puzzle to us at the,time, but it is now clear that they were from similar couches, and one must suppose that they formed some part of the funeral cere- monfes of that anclent time. !

Carlson of Chicago University Announces Result of Two-Year Experimentation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 27.=Control or prevention of inherited epilepsy in the future was indicated by the re- sults of two years, experimentation, Dr. Anton J. Carlson, head of the physiological department of the Uni- | versity of Chicago, where the tests were conducted, announced today. The experiments, Dr. Carlson said, were performed by L. R. Dragstedt, assistant professor, and A. B. Luck- hardt, associate professor, along two different *_theories. Early i the research, Dr. Carlson sald it was de- termined that inherited epilepsy was caused . primarily by the malfunc- tioning: of the parathyroid glands. With this fact established, Dr. Luckhardt, after a course of ‘tests, simulated the function of the glands by injecting an-alkoline solution into animals upon which the tests were performed. Dr. Dragstedt was said to have obtained satisfactory results by | supervised dlets of carbohydrates. i Containing seven million feet under construction.
