Show K M MK x t first aid to ti tired I 1 memories by RING LARDNER K to the editor I 1 suppose that tha t theys a great many amongst your readers and a specially tile the older ones that find them sells all the time forgetting things that they should ought to remember and I 1 I 1 was vas the same way myself and one ot of my friends f suggested that I 1 take one of these here memory courses witch tie he said had bad helped him a whole lot but I 1 said what is the use ot of roy my paying money lor for a memory course when I 1 can probably get one up for myself just as good and mabbe a whole lot better so I 1 set down and if figured 0 out u t a system of 6 how aw to ta I 1 remember different things and now I 1 am going to pass tile the good news on to my admires and the between the other memory courses and I 1 Is because I 1 dont charge anything for roy my lessons but all as you half to do Is send rend in a stamp self addressed envelope so I 1 wont ont forget where you live at and I 1 will tell you the complete system but in the first place I 1 will give you a few example of how the system worked with me and you can judge tor for yourself it if its 0 K or the opp well to begin at the beginning the first time I 1 felt like my memory ans slipping was about 2 mos ago when I 1 was 0 out t on the golf linx flax with a couple of frie friends ads and we was playing for a herry berry a hole and alon along about tile the 3rd ard hole one of my friends frieda 9 said tie he had bad a six and the other said sold he had a seven so they asked me what I 1 bad and I 1 sald said a five listen said my 2nd and friend how bow about them two times in the ploughed sloughed hed ground when you swung and never lilt the ball at all so that set me think thinking in that I 1 had entirely forgot them two tw 0 whiffs so I 1 hind L and ot of laughed to cover up my em barrass ments but I 1 made up my mind rig right ht there that I 1 would find out some way to remember them missed swings a specially when the boys was leeping keeping in such close tabs on a person so that night I 1 remembered to go home and after dinner I 1 worked out a system and the next nest morning I 1 tried it in the nursery and all tour four 0 of my kids was in there to say nothing about the nurse and without consulting no notes I 1 called them each by their first name well I 1 said to myself this system looks like it was al A l 1 and I 1 would be a fine stiff if I 1 pass lt it o otts fro f my friends inflicted the same way so then I 1 used the new system to try and think thin of some of 0 roy my friends that fiat had find forgot different things and the 1st ast one I 1 thought ot of was a bird that him and I 1 had been to N Y city a couple of mos before and had dinner and at that time he said lets make it dutch so I 1 said all right but when the check came around he said he was busy trying to get the maple syrup off his hands into the fingar bowl so in this letter I 1 kind of reminded him about the dutch laws and ami sure enough in a few days I 1 got gor it a letter enclosing 70 acts in ID stamps witch was bis share of the orgy so then I 1 happened to think of another old pal that never remember lie he was married and its his wife had complained about it several times so one night we was over to ills his house but he was not home but his mrs thought she knew where she could reach him by telephone so I 1 called him on the wire and told him to not forget he was married and the next night he come home and called his wife by her first name witch Is more than she could do to him ns as she e een en answer him Per sonly I 1 could give you other proofs about how this system works for instants I 1 can set down right this minute and without going into no do newspaper files or calling up no sporting editors I 1 can tell who ho won between dempsey and tunney at chicago Clil cago last september or woo won the worlds serious lost last october and I 1 can tell if babe ruth kuth swings right or left handed and I 1 can remember what year I 1 was wag married ried and why and I 1 can recall the name of the school I 1 went one semester to before they decided that 2 semesters was 1 too tog much and etc where this system comes in as handy na as any other place Is when a man Is dressing for tn instants stants how many 0 of you gents puts on your collar only to find that your shirt Is off or dons your shoes ond then recalls that the hosiery Is missing since I 1 got up this system I 1 can always manage to get my garments onto me as they should come and at I 1 tried to do it ln in alphabet order but I 1 soon found out that I 1 no sooner had find gotten my trousers on when I 1 noticed that the underwear was yet to come and the coat had been on a long while before it had coine come time for the vs ests ts but the way I 1 overcome these ties was to make up my mind to discard th the c vest and then do the rest of it from i omega to alpha instead of vice versa so then when I 1 dou doo the old costume the underwear comes first and then the trousers and then the sol BOX and shoes and shirt and necktie and finely wind ind up with the coat which Is just as it should be this Is only a example to show you how good the system works bit and it dont stop with dressing but gos on through a daily life and as I 1 say I 1 will pass it on to my adrill admires res it if they will send rie me a stamp addressed caleope eni cule clope ope but no money and it if are satisfied with the course they can mabe come accost with a few flow cow ors rs or a 16 dozen doughnuts M by the
