Householder, Ph., P.A.S.N.. of Los Angeles and New York, often accepted as the world's outstanding numerologiat, 1b in Medford today and may be heard In lectures here soon, he unnouncud this morning. Professor Householder Is author of "Four Basic Principles of Nu merology,' published in 1921, the book which has held its place as the most popular one In he Los Angeles library for the past 10 years. Professor Householder is mak ing a tour of the northwest giving lectures on the fascinating subject, which is enjoying a larger follow ing each year. He usually spends his winters in Los Angeles and. his bu mirrors at his New York head quarters. , . . Hpeuklng of this science and methods for numbering yourself, Professor Householder . gave a Hhort resume this morning testing the analysis of Hpnry Ford to show just how numerology works. "When you find the numbers given by your birth date," he stat ed, "your name and the town and state you live In, you enn test the Hultablllty of your occupation. If its number brings the total that can bo reduced to 9 it Is the work for you. If not- you are engaged In the wrong occupation or live in the wrong place, and this lack of ourrespomlence indicates that you can find a better position or city to live In." An analysis of Henry Ford, car ried on In this manner shows, of course, that the manufacturing of automobiles Is his perfect occupa tion . Professor Householder was working out numberscopes for several persons about town this morning and his results show that If he remains In Medford to give lectures, as he plans, the old say ing "I've got your number"' will lake on a new significance. 4 WIMBLEDON STADIUM, Eng., .lune 24.

At Falalse, In Normandy, where William the Conqueror was born, a bronze tablet Is unveiled, show ing scenes In the Norman conquest of England. There should be something on that tablet about William's mother, Arietta, a Norman peasant girl, daughter of a tanner, of whom Wil liam waa an Illegitimate son by tho Duke of Normandy called "Kobert the Devil." The world knows all about Wil liam, too tittle about Arietta, whom Robert the Devil subsequent ly married. She must have been an able young woman. Another of her sons,, broad shouldered, blond giant and a bishop, rode beside his hall' brother, William the Conquer or, at the battle of Hastings and was killed there. The world knows too little about mothers of great men. It Is as though we admired pictures, never asking the names or the artists. . Dr. Robert M.

M That reminds you of needier, who replied to one who said Chris tianity has fulled: "It hasn't been tried." Perhaps REAL education has not been tried. We put children In schools and collegos, far away from real life, teach them that Colum bus discovered America In 1492, whon tho Turks took Constantino ple, and a few other things not Im portant in later life. We submit them to examina tions, more brutalizing than con structive, for which they prepare with the joyful thought that they will forge the answer to every question as Boon as possible. Dr. Hutchlns Is trying to find a better way of educating and a more satisfactory plan for examinations. If be succeeds he will render great service.
