Dr. Catlcll, Champion Long-Distance Orator of City, Gives His
Views Has Record of 20,000 Speeches
ri.11n.1elpl.Ia-s clmmplon long ami
....... it. ntiP nrntnr lenned bock In Ills
- office .chair today nml .d 1 out Into
the City nan roorifui "'
Jtrcnms of people flow throngl.. And
JhPti swinging nroundIn him cbalr ho
,'mlM n little, and told how those neo
pic might be mvnyed by nn nblo speaker.
iTn talked on 'one who knew, for
n, Edward blames Cattell, City
Statistician, hoi spoken nt 20,000 or
more meetings nnd banquets In forty
Four of the States of tho Unloji, to
more than 20,000.000 person.
"res," he snld reflectively, "yes,
it Is a good thing to bo nblo to inakc
i speech nnd n better thing to bo nblo
to Bton. My own opinion Is thnt thirty
minutes Is the outside limit for a speech.
I Kcncrally try to talk only twenty,
minutes, nnd my pergonal opinion Is
Jlint the most successful evening would
consist of three snappy speeches, none
of them longer than ten minutes.
What Orator Shouldn't Do
"Many n man, you know, comes out
nn the plntfonn nnd uses' up the firm
ten minutes of tho time npologizlng
because he did not know ho wns ex
nccted to speak; ten moro minutes ex
plaining thnt ho is not prepared,) and
hen spends the rest of the time feeling
irouncl for n place to sit down, bo to
Btak. He kiuiws, nnd you know, he
I. talked out nnd doesn't know how to
ton Now. f he is limited to ten
minutes nt the beginning, he will sny
what he has to say nnd that Is the end
of It.
"I never use notes. As soon ns n
nubile spenker looks nt his notes he
o;os the connection between himself
and his audience. Then the people
login to wonder who wrote his speech
for him. , , . ,
"It is, jou sec. more importnnt for
n speaker to study his audience thnn
It is' for him to study his subject.
There (ire three or four innjor things
that appeal .to nil audiences; the job is
to find the thing that will .hold n ma
jority of the audience before you.
Must Follow Bloods
"Then ou must sense the mood of
that part'lculnr moment. Perhaps a
bright nnd witty speaker has preceded
you, or perhaps a dull nnd uninterest
ing one. Or tho man JitRt before you
may have lifted the audience to a high
plane, nnd for jou to bo trivial would
jar terribly. Hut nbovo nil is the ques
tion of closing. To close properly nt
the proper 'time will save innny n situa
tion. "Coming back to the subject of notes,
you must reallzp thnt your memory Is
like a child. "When you want your
memory to bchnvo its best it Is apt to
bchnve Its worst, nnd like n child, trust
jour memory nnd It will Justify jou.
Depend upon your manuscript instead
of your memory nnd your memory will
nay, 'O. yes; he has a manuscript to
depend upon ; no use my trying to carry
him through.' And It won't.
"VI 11. .... i I.
i i"uc iiiuci nut m ien ii a man tins
f his speech written out In his pocket so
iiu enn uepenu upon ic it necessary he
will be forced to rend It before he Is
through. And if ho rends n speech he
is telling his audience ns plnlnly ns
words thnt he Is expecting them to
enrrv nwny with them moro in their
heads than ho could carry to them in
his nnd he a master of his subject, a
subject he may have studied for jears.
"Itcmcmbcr thnt no mnn enn give
his nudlenec more thnn he hns got him
self. He is lucky If ho can give them
h.-lf. Ho Is lucky If they carry away
with thpm 10 per cent of what he hns
been trying to tell them.
"And that brings me to the subject
of stories. fnless n story Illustrates n
Point it will never be remembered.
J. lint is whnt mnkes n stendy stream of
jokes so tiresome. It is the Morv that
Illustrates the point jou nro trjing to
mnkc thnt is remembered. Why, I met
n mnn in Senttlo severnl weeks ngo nnd
ho told me ho had just told n story to
illustrntc n point thnt ho hnd henrd me
tell In New ork twelve yenrs ngo, also
to Illustrate a point. The life of n
story, you see. depends upon the fact
to which it is nttnehtd.
"Jokes nnd serious thought must al
ternate; you have got to get your con
trasts. And in this tonne .ion, nllow

DR. E. J. CATTELL
mo to stnto thnt the Amcrlcnn people
nro the most serious nnd scntimentnl
in tho entire world. 1 mean thnt! I
seldom deliver nn nddrcss thnt some one
in the nudicucc docs not thnnk me nft
erward for one of the serious thoughts
I have expressed.
"You get up ngnlnst some funnv
propositjons," mused Dr. Cnttcll. "I
was invited to mnkc nn nddrcss not so
long ngo In New York. Tho mnn nhend
of ;ne, who wns to hnvc made n few ie
nnrks. could not stop nnd spoke for
forty-live minutes. I found I hnd only
hnlf nn hour to make my train, nnd
my sole speech was to thnnk them, sny
I hnd been glad to sec them, had hnd
n good time, nml 'Good-night.' Then
I took the next trnln home."
Ills Early Training
Then tho doctor censed describing the
technique of the thing, nnd told of his
first public speech. It wns made just
fifty-two jenrw ago. He produced from
the recesses of a closet nn old fnded
phntogrnph. It slioucd n party, of
which he ns n youth wns n member,
on board tho first trnln to go through
to California. It wnu photographed at
Devil's Gate, Watsateh Mountains,
nbout 100 miles from Hnlt Lnke City,
which in those days wns not on a rnll
rottd. On this train were Hcnator A. G.
Cnttcll. C'nrl Sclmrls, Allen G. Thur
mnn, .Tnmcs (J. Ulnlrtc and other public
men of thnt dny. It wns by listening to
these men spenk, said Dr. Cattell, nnd
by going on the floor of the Scnntc,
where he wns privileged to go, listening
to glnnts of the rostrum, such ns Chnrles
Sunnier nnd Itoseoe Conkling, thnt tho
love of public speaking was Ingrnincd in
his nature.

Automobiles Run
15 Miles Without Oil
Made possible by using Oildag.
These tests have been made in
a number of large cities in the
United States.
Any Automobile can do the
same thing by using Oildag for
about 2000 miles when the
graphoid surface is formed.
OILDAG
The World's Best Lubricant
is collodial graphite, an invention of
Dr. Acheson (inventor of Carborun
dum), held in suspension in a high grade
lubricating oil.
Do not confuse the defloculated
graphite contained in Oildag with other
graphite. Deflocculated graphite, the
new invention, is the only graphite
that will remain in suspension.
