Charles W. Hamley's mental feats astound sclentific examiners, Ham- ley maintains, and demonstrates at the University of Southern California and his own classrooms here, that any normal belng can duplicate “hiy as- tounding performances. Three weeks after “learning to think,” he had qualified as the only memory expért with the United States army in France. He ' carried code messages that could not be entrusted to writing. He acted as the memory for his division. He mentally inventoried a great railway supply yard in seven hours, without taking a note, and a corps of army clerks were a week In inscrib- ing his information. ‘What He Can Do. He can repeat lectures and books verbatim. * He can rattle oft the names of 100 men he was introduced to last month. Professors of the ‘Washington, Stanford University of and U. 8. C, mation it takes the average college student four years to acquire. “The secret of my capacity,” Ham- into whatever I wish to remember. “I treat names, dates, figures and other abstractions as {f they were physical objects. I ‘fix’ them by linking them up with fantastic imag- inary adventures, as a child spins a fairy tale, so that I can see them vividly with my mind's eye. “When I want to retain in sequence 100 names, for instance, I see a HEN wearing a big plug HAT and turning to peck at a juicy HAM on which sits a ludicrous RABBIT who pro- ceeds to chase a green COW up the HILI, over a hee HIVE. By this process anyoné can remember surpris- ingly well. “Things you yourself have done are easiest to recall. Things you have seen are next easiest. “Things read, or acquired hand, are not so intimate or vivid. Hence they must be translated into personal expenience by imaginary pic- tures and mental action. “I have literally thousands of long picture chains, embracing a wide range of knowledge, securely tied to my mental hitching post, to be re- leased at will,” He Gives Advice. Hamley’s own memory hints follow: If you want to remember an ac- curate description of a building, men- tally climb it like a human spider, grasping each cornice, peering in at the windows, tearing your fingernails on the bricks. If you fel the exploit and thrill to it, you'll remember that building in detail always. If the name of a person isn't im- pressive, substitute a familiar and similar name, concentrating for 10 to 20 seconds on the difference and similarly. Mentally file Mr. Tuttle away as Mr. TURTLE, which links him to a familiar image. Convert Mrs. Peake into Mrs. MOUNTAIN—a mountain snow-capped like her silver hair. Try acting out a peem with appro- priate and exaggerated gestures, and see how that helps fix and fit the words together. Mentally enlarge what you wish to recall—make it huge; a mouse as big as a moose, Every memory expert uses a code to recall figures—a code in which consonants represent digits. Num- vers are thus translated into words. These codes can be learned in a few days. second- Best coffee 3 1bs. $1.

Believille, IU., May 19.—Virtually all of the United States Army's light- er-than-air craft, including balloons and airships of all types, will be con- centrated at Scott Field, near here, if present plans are approved by Secre- tary of War Weeks, according to offi- cers at the post.

REPUBLICS NO HELP TO GHILE Plan of Financiers to Use Surplus Gold Not Practicable Santlago, May 10.—The plan dis- cussed by American financiers to utilize surplus stocks of gold in the United States for the benefit of cer- tain Latin-American countries with a view to alding exchange values would not be practical for Chile, in the opinfon of economists lere, since she already has accumulated what is con- sldered an ample gold conversion fund for possible redemption or stabiliza- tion of paper: currency. This fund amounts to 114,000,000 gold pesos— approximately $42,000,000-—part of which is held here and part in Lon- don, Make Peso Stable. The generally accepted view is that business men and industrialists in this country would welcome some prac- tical activity toward stabilizing the paper peso, since its exchange value has expericnced long periods of vir- tual anarchy and, in relation to the dollar, gradually has fallen from the war figure of three to one in 1919 to more than 10 to 1 in 102 Movements Detriment.
