A list of questions said to be asked by Mr. Edison of prospective employees has been published by the daily papers Strangely enough, it does not include this, which will perhaps puzzle many readers: What do the initials "B. V. D.," well known as a trade-mark, stand for?

A "foot-note to history" in a recently published book about Napoleonic times records a curious popular misunderstanding of a well-intentioned gesture of international friendship. When the treaty of peace between Great Britain and France was signed in 1802, the representative of France in London illuminated his house in Portman Square and put up a large device on which the word "Concord" appeared above a portrait of King George III. The mob of sightseers, it is stated, mistook this word for "Conquered," and, to allay their indignation, at the last moment "Concord" had to be changed to "Amitié."

A feature of the New York City parade of boys during Boys' Week was the successful attempt by the Child Health Organization to dramatize the essentials of health. A huge milk bottle, representing the first and best friend of the child, was shown chasing a coffee-pot and a tea-pot, representing two of the worst enemies of child development. Behind these came other representations of the foods that are good for the health of children; they included Pat Spinach, Charlie Carrot, HumptyDumpty Eggs, and all the best fruits.

Mrs. J. Stark, of Bonner Springs, Kansas, at a recent hearing on censorship of moving pictures, said, as quoted in "The Writer:"

The worst picture I ever saw was in Kansas City, Mo. It was written by a Kansas author and was called "In the Heart of a Fool."

William Allen White, who wrote the book, saw her statement and sent her the following letter:

My dear Mrs. Stark: I noticed in the newspapers that you said my picture "In the Heart of a Fool" was the worst picture you ever saw. I quite agree with you. I had nothing to do with the filming of it. I wrote a book which had an entirely different story.

I sold the "movie" right of the book to the outfit that made the picture. Under the court decision, when I sell the "movie" right, I sell the right to change the plot. They changed the plot and made it a nasty sex thing, and I am just as much ashamed of it as you can be, but I have no rights in the courts. I thank you very much for your frankness in the matter. Sincerely yours,

W. A. WHITE.

People who are planning to redecorate their houses may find interesting suggestions in these hints from a dissertation on color:

Green, the color of all foliage and herbage, is naturally the most restful of all.

Blue, the color of the sky and of the sea, is conducive to a serious mood, and often gives the impression of coldness.

Yellow is the color of sunlight and of almost all fires. From these associations it takes on a cheerful aspect. It gives the impression of warmth.

Red, the color of blood, is exciting and stimulating. To be surrounded by it tends to make one hasty and excitable.

Black is the color of night and mourning. It is always a depressing color. It makes us feel gloomy."

Purple gives something of the impression of black, but at times conveys the idea of elegance. This is probably due to its long association with royalty.

Chauncey M. Depew's celebration of his eighty-seventh birthday revived the story told by Joseph H. Choate as one of his experiences when he was Ambassador to England. He was asked by an inquiring Briton what Mr. Depew's station was. "Grand Central Station," Mr. Choate answered.

To say the fitting thing in acknowledgment of a favor is something of a tax on the conversational powers of most people; when the recipient is unfamiliar with the conventional phrases used or gets confused in using them, comical situations occur, as in this instance reported in "Harper's Magazine." Two sisters of a deceased cook called to acknowledge the flowers sent by the family. "We came to thank you for those beautiful flowers that you sent for sister," said the elder woman; and then, with a little stutter, she added, "and we hope soon to be able to return the favor."

The "Boy Scouts' Magazine" publishes this rhymed appreciation of the Scout who refuses to "pass the buck:"

I'm strong for the fellow who tackles his part

With courage and vigor and resolute

heart;

Who is proud of the work he is given to do

And proud that folks know he will see the thing through;

Who goes boldly forward and sticks to his pace,

Considering slacking or failure disgrace;

Who refuses to quibble or straddle or duck

Any shade of his duty by "passing the buck."

The Mysterious Power of Pelmanism Disclosed

W

A New and Easy Process that Practically
Forces Men and Women to Succeed

THAT is this mysterious power of Pelmanism? What is this great worldwide movement that is performing so many thousands of apparent miracles everywhere-that is enabling such great numbers of men and women to attain undreamed of heights of financial, social, and intellect success?

Firt of all, Pelmanism is different from anything you have ever heard of. It is not an experiment. It is not a fad. It is not an untried theory-for it has stood the test of twenty-seven years. It is not a business. It is not a profession. It is not a "mind healer." There is nothing to which Pelmanism can be compared.

But it will prove to you, as it has proved to over 500,000 others, that you can achieve Success in a big way-that right now you

GEORGE CREEL

have just as good a brain
as most of the men who are
earning from two to ten
times more than you-then
reveal a method of using it
that will practically force
you to succeed in spite of
yourself.

Your Unsuspected
Self

Your brain has wonderful potentialities. Hidden in you are powers you never dreamt you possessed, which if put to work will bring results that will astonish you. This is not idle supposition. It is cold, hard, indisputable fact, born out again and again in thousands of others.

Pelmanism will unfold these hidden powers to you and show you how to use them. It will make you acquire just those qualities that are necessary for success in every conceivable business or intellectual pursuit. You will be filled with a new dynamic force. Failure will become impossible-Success, inevitable.

Certain Definite Principles

Necessary for Success

Just as there are certain personal qualities necessary to success, so are there certain definite and specific principles which are also absolutely essential to achievement. Without these principles it is impossible to rise above the levels of mediocrity-it is useless even to try.

Once you know them, however, vast opportunities will open before you. You will have chances for success beyond your fondest hopes. Obstacles will crumple before you. The pathway to financial independence will be laid wide open. Money will flow in on you. Apply these principles and you cannot help succeeding!

What Pelmanism Does
For You

It has been the work of the founders of the Pelman Institute to make a thorough and complete analysis of the qualities and principles necessary to Success,-then put

What World Famous Men Say

About Pelmanism

Judge Ben B. Lindsay: "Pelmanism is a big, vital, significant contribution to the mental life of America. I have the deep conviction that it is going to strike at the very roots of individual failure, for I see in it a new power, a new driving force."

Sir Rider Haggard, whose books have been translated into every language: "I recommend Pelmanism to those who, in the fullest sense, really wish to learn and to become what men and women ought to be."

George Creel: "Talk of quick and large salary raises suggests quackery, but with my own eyes I saw bundles of letters telling how Pelmanism had increased earning capacities. I say deliberately and with the deepest conviction that Pelmanism will do what it promises to do."

them down in black and white, in clear, easy form that everyone can apply to his or her own needs.

In

This was not the work of a year-or of ten years. It was the work of a lifetime. It entailed endless research-countless experiments-tireless effort. Whether this effort was justified can best be judged by what Pelmanism has actually accomplished in hundreds of thousands of cases. stances of quick promotion through Pelmanism are countless. Cases of doubled salary in less than six months and trebled salary in less than a year are by no means unusual. In exceptional cases there have been salary increases of 700, 800, and even 1,000 per cent.

But Pelmanism not only holds forth the promise of increasing your earning capacity. Its aim is broader than that. It points the way to cultural success as well as material.

It will enable you to gain a greater power of self-expression, in thought, word, and action. It will develop your originality and imagination to a surprising degree. It will teach you how to organize your thoughts and ideas; how to acquire a keen, infallible memory; how to acquire a masterful personality.

It places before you, in clear and simple form the latest discoveries of Business Psychology. It reveals the secrets of what Psycho-Analysts call "The Subconscious," and shows you how the mysterious life that is lived below the mind's conscious level is one that affects your moneymaking, your general ideas, your attitude toward the world, and your happiness. But best of all Pelmanism will develop

your thinking power-your money-making power-and prove to you that your desires and ambitions can easily and quickly be made realities.

Secrets of Achievement

There is no "magic" about Pelmanism. There is no mystery about Pelmanism itself. Further, it does not promise anything but what it already has accomplished in thousands of cases.

It is not "high brow;" it is meant for: everyone. It is easily understood; its principles are easily applied. You will find it. of deep and fascinating interest. You will be gripped by its clear logic. You will; begin to feel its mysterious effect almost immediately. Many have said that even after the first hour they were conscious of a startling change in their whole attitude toward life.

To thousands Pelmanism has been the means of greater success in life. To thousands it has been a stepping stone to financial independence. To thousands it has led the way to unexpected achievement. Without the principles

of success embodied in Pelmanism no one ever has succeeded-no one ever will succeed. This, of course, does not mean that no one can gain great success in life unless he is a Pelmanist. No, but it does mean that with Pelmanism your success will be surer; your success will come sooner; your success will be far SIR RIDER HAGGARD greater!
