ROTARIANS HEAR MEMORY TALK
Dr. David Roth Entertains Club With
Remarkable Exhibitions
Dr David M. Roth, known as tho Mem
ory Master, entertained the members of tho
Rotary Club with an address and demon
strations at their luncheon today In the
Hotel Adelphla. One of tho demonstrations
by Doctor Both was his remembering the
names of more than flfty Hotarlans after
he was Introduced to them.
Another was his rewriting on a black
board names nnd figures which had been
erased. Ho said that a good memory was
necessary In business life ; that many great
losses financially were caused by lack of
memory, and that If people devoted a little
time every day to the development of their
memories thoy would "be better off. Memory
ii the basis of education, he said.

law that will enable the United

Police Court Chronicle
Jim Haller lives on opportunities.
When they don't happen ho creates them,
and he's so adept In this dlrcctl'n that lack
of work or money never bothers him.
Jim Is an expert on food He can man
ago to bring It his way no matter which
direction It's going. Haller novcr has any
definite destination except for loitering near
groceries and market places
Should a housekeeper with a basketful of
prolslons come In sight Jim manages to
collide with tho basket. The collision ap
pears to bo accidental, but there's always
force to It, and tfie bump usually results In
sending the contents to the streets Of
course Jim then proves his gallantry by
helping to pick up the eats. It's an casv
matter to let out the fact that lie Is pretty
hungry himself and this generally brings
a reward In tho, way of food flaw vege
tables are -as acceptable ns anything else,
for Haller always finds a way of cooking
anything he gets.
, A youngster with an express wagon
loaded with eats passed Jim near Fortieth
and Market streets. Just as the wagon
was passing Jim fell out of a doorway and
struck tho loud. Packages of groceries and
vegetables were scattered all over the side
walk. The boy cried, but Jim helped him
to reload tho wagon and he was appeased.
But Haller conveniently forgot to replace
a package of very substantial eats. When
the youngster hauled the load away Jim
shoved the food under his coat. But a cop
who knew Jim and his ways, saw the oper
ation and hauled Haller before Magistrate
Harris.
The bluccoat explained that there had
been many complaints by householders
about the collisions with a strange looking
man. Jim admitted the accidents, but as
soi ted that they could' not be avoided
"The streets Is too crowded on account
of the big Increase in tho population," as
serted tho prisoner.
"Yes, I guess you need lots of room," said
tho Judge, "so I'll let you rest until the
first of May In that quiet spot In Holmes
burg known as tho House of Correction."
Governor of Federal Reserve
Board Advises Loan in Case
of War With Germany
NEW YORK. March 21,
In the case of war with Germany, Con
gress should Immediately pass a law mak
ing It possible for this country to extend a
billion dollars of credit to the allied Govern
ments, W. 1 G. Harding, governor of tho
Federal Heservo Board, told tho New York
Quill Club last night. Several prominent
New York bankers were there nnd tho sug
gcstlon was received with prolonged np-
plause.
"I wish It understooJ before I start that
I'm not talking In any official capacity, but
am giving you my own personal opinion,"
said Mr, Harding, "It Is the duty of all
ou men of Influence to help shape public
opinion In Buch a way that Congress will
net effectively for tho defense of the na
tion, The extension of 'credit to those
who nre lighting with us In a common
cause would Insuro us ngalnst a prematuie
peace to which we were not a party
"We aro approaching a crisis which Is
without parallel In our history, but we were
never better prepared ' from a financial
standpoint. The total note-Issuing ability
of tho twelve Federal Reserve banks Is ap
proximately $1,171,000,000, secured by tho
gold reserve, and tho bnnks of tho country
were never. In mv oolnion. In a nmrn inii
condition. It Is possible under the law to
Issue today $7,200,512,000 In Federal Re
serve notes on a live per cent basis.
"Our statistician tells us that there Is
over $800,000,000 In gold In tho pockets of
tho people of this country nnd about $840,
000,000 in the banks and trust companies "
Mr. Harding said that on March 9 the
gold reserves In tho Federal Reserve bank
or me country was $538,000,000, or $"86
000,000 more than the thlrty-flvo per cent of
deposits required under the 1,-ivv He said
there had been issued $326,000,000 In Fed
eral Reserve notes, of which $18,000,000
was unsecured by gold in the Federal Re
serve banks. The reserve Is now eighty
per cent of nil liabilities, although tne law
permits It to drop as low as thlrty-flvc per
cent and In an emergency the board may
reduce It to twenty-two per cent.
"No country on the face of the globe can
make so otrong a showing financially," said
Mr. Hat ding.
He estimated that between August 1,
1914, and March 9, 1917, the stock of gold
In this country had Increased $1,015,000,000,
an amount greater than tho entire world
pioductlon during that period.
"The movement of gold toward this
country continues," said the speaker, "and
It will soon I each $3,000,000,000. To this
condition is due in part the high cost of
food.
"Wficn the war Is over the sudden con
traction will Bcrlously nffect our entire
credit system, but we nre preparing to meet
that contingency. However, to meet suc
cessfully the situation the Government
must secure effective control of tho gold In
the country. We plan to Issuo Federal Re
seive notes as a substitute for the gold
that will moEt certainly be shipped out of
the country when peace Is declared."

The Cadillac Limousine Is Changing
the Habits of the Motoring World
More and more motorists are driving the Cadillac Limousine throughout the summer as
well as in fall and winter.
Early realizing the advantages of the limousine type of body for all-year use, the Cadillsn
Company has developed its limousine with this idea in view until it is now as absolutely tbv
ideal car for summer as it has always been for winter travel.

The Cadillac Limousine has become as completely a car
apart, as completely in a class by itself, as thoroughly dom
inant in the automobile industry as the incomparable
Cadillac engine.
It is the choice of the buyer who can easily afford any car,
no matter what its price, but who recognizes that he can
not obtain the ultimate advantages of motoring except
through Cadillac ownership.
It is iust as surely the choice of the buyer who would like
to pay less than the Cadillac price, but who realizes that
only in a Cadillac is it possible to secure the indispensable
advantages which the Cadillac affords.
The glass windows in the Cadillac Limousine are unusually
largo. When they are lowered, the car becomes a veritable
out-of-doors with resultant opportunity for unobstructed
enjoyment of the beauties of Nature. When sudden,'tor-
rential summer rains descend, these windows may be
instantly raised to make your car as effective a shelter as
your own home.
The distinctiveness, the beauty of line, the superiority of
appointment of tho Cadillac Limousine, have never been
equaled and appeal irresistibly to persons of taste.
Its supreme durability, which unfailingly withstands the
stress of continuous travel year after year, makes its '
slightly greater first cost an investment of unquestionable
business judgment. And ownership of a Cadillac obviates
to a great extent the necessity for two cars.
In view ,of the greater demand sure to-arise with public
awakening to the advisability of the Cadillac Limousine
for summer as well as winter use, we stocked so iiDerauy
that we can promise ' "$(
