?ver had, and an X-roy examination
showed there was no.hing wrong
with them.
"I've discovered what's the matter
with me, ' she told her doctor the
oilier dav. "I laid awak.:< Inst night
thinking nhOut it, and I've nomo to
the eonelusiou t lint t'm beginning to

Refusal to recognise the passing
years -is wh:'t keeps some folks young
at 80 past; turning ono's thought on
the past instead of the future make
some ,old at forty.

TIioio aro a lot of things about

But I ha v.; to admire their unohang*

of what the rest of the world may

BRAIN little used
If you set down the figure 1 and.
then spend a few weeks putting
down fifteen million ciphers after
ii yon will have a number the.t
would fill aliout thirty htMiks of or
dinary novel size. There is no nnme
for a number of that magnitude. It
goes beyond all human imagination.
Yet that is, approximately, the num

' Science now regards .each cell as
in electric battery, connected wivn
nil the others and tlM? rest of the
body by nerve filaments which

.average brain, arranged in orderly
patterns. The power of the mind
lop: nds upon the number of th."se

Most! of us use only a tiny fraction

?c: l'ze a tenth of their possible ca
pacities. Men's minds prow by use,
'?y the effort to think more and more
?loarly about new and unfamiliar
hings. Most of us are just too lazy
0 do our own thinking
DETERMINATION . . . wins
I wish the English language had
1 single short word to .express the
ombination of qualities which en
'hies some of' us to fight our way to
he top againse heavy odds. I wou'd
?pplv that wotil to Frank Renlr.

Washington, July 5. ? The man of
i the hour in Washington is Bernard
M. Haruch. Sitting at a desk in the
Staie Department without any title
or official position, while President
Roosevelt was away on his vacation.
Secretary of State Hull in London
.uid Assistant Secretary Moley on his
way to join Mr. Hull, Mr. Baruch
lias hecn receiving mail addressed lo
"The Acting President," the "Next
.Secretary of State" and even "The
Big Boss."
The explanation is that Mr. Bar
iich has greater influence with this
Administration than any other man
who a p] tears in public. That state
ment does not detract from the in
fluence of Col. Edward M. House,
who never appears in public, and
whose influence with the present
President is probably as great as it
| was wish the l.vst Democratic Chie?
Kxeeiitivc, Wood row Wilson. But
Col. Mouse and Mr. Baruch undler
stand i ach other, and nobody d*?
tracts for a minute front Mr. Bar
uch's- ability or his sinccre devotion
to the public interest.
Mr. Baruch was Chairman of
President Wilson's War Industries
Board. After the war he helped fi
nance and work out the first of the
programs for farm relief which laid
the foundation for the present Agri
culture Administration Act. He is
that luiusual type, a man of large
affairs wh ? has made millions by his
own unaided ability as a trader, who
prefers public service to anything
vise but dorf not want public office,
llis advice is valued because he
knows business and finance down to
the ground and because he has the
confidence of leaders in almost
every walk of life.
Personally, Mr. Baruch is. tail,
handsome, white-haired and urbane
He is forceful but always tactful, a
man of genuine culture and high in
tegrity, an-1 the President relies up
on him for atflviftc to ant extent which
has hardly been realized so far.
For example, George N. Peek, who
is the supreme administrator of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act is
known as Mr. Raruch's man. Mr.
Peek was !? plow manufacturer in
Illinois, and Mr. Baruch pot to know
liim and in admire his administrative
qualities when he was actively study
ing the fnrn: situation. General Hugh
Johnson, Administrator of the Tn
tlus trial Recovery Act, is also Mr.
Berueh's personal nominee. lie was
associated with Mr Peek in the agri
cultural implement business.
Thus, indirectly, Mr. Baruch is
sponsor for the two men who will
have to operate the two most far
reaching projeel-s of the New Deal,
and it is exacted that his advice
will dominate.
Daniel ('. Roper has been so active
in ]>olities and the practice of law
that nobody had any idea of his
administrative capacity. As the head
uf the largest of all the fiover.il men I
j departments, however, he is showing
j so much "horse sense" that he is
l?fi njr spoken of as the balance-wheel
of the Administration. He is one of
the most influential men in the Cab
inet, 4i nd more and more work is
being dumped on his shoulders.
Mr. Wood in. Secretary of the
Treasury, i ? personally beloved by
everyone who comes in .contact with
him, from the President down. It is
an op n secret, however, that lie will
?lot remain long in 'his jwsition. The
j strain is bi ^ inning io tell on hiir; It
J is (57 years old. His successor may or
! may not be Lewis Douglas. Director
{of Mu> Budrel. Mr. Doiurlas is amply
<|ua'ified , but there is strong op
| |?osition to him d<'Velo)w"ng among
| the more radieal elemenls of th?'
' oart v.
i
Mrs. Wilson, who us"s her irriden
name of l-'vsi urs Perkins as Secretary
r Labor i<- mm in? to be regarded
as p ili.'ps the best judge of men
?md mot/ves in the whole cabinet.
I'nlik" M '. Roper, who is able to
(Telega. e di 'ails, she wants to do
everythihir herself, which may prove
too much of 'a job.
Mr. FasiniMl, the Federal Coor
dinator of Railroads, former head
of the Interstate 'Commerce Commis
sion, is no longer regarded, as n
"dangerous radic.aj," bnt has t^e
confidence and respect of railroad
people. He believes, although he
does not [irsow.llv desire it, that
Government ownership of railroad-i
is inevitiid.' at so>ne future time,
ami he is skilfully preparing the
minds of railroad |)eop!e ?o the ac
ceptance of that idea. t
