Translate the phone number into words and associate them with person, office, place of business, or in any way that will make a good picture which will be easily recalled. The illustrations which follow are instances taken from actual practice. Hotel--phone number 1740, THE CARS may be used to represent 1740. This hotel, the Brown Palace, in Denver, is a triangular building with cars running on every side, suggesting "THE CARS." Fire Department--phone number 3084. MISS FIRE stands for 3084. An easy association is that the fire men miss the fire. Bank--phone number 9795. Here we substitute BIG BILL for 9795, a bank which has many a BIG BILL. Railroad--phone 1784. TAKE FARE association. The railroad always takes your fare. Laundry--phone 7540 COLLARS. Association. Collars are in the laundry. Butcher--phone 531. ALL MEAT. The butcher sells ALL MEAT. Telephone Exchanges Knowing the district in which the phone is located will often suggest the exchange, but when necessary make a Reminder Picture for the exchange. Following are some examples which have been used by students: Main--The Battle Ship Harrison--Hair or Hare East--Yeast Randolph--Ran off Beacon--Lighthouse Champa--Champion Wabash--Wash Proctor--Doctor These are suggestions only, much depends upon the individual; make your own reminders. The same exchange may be more easily remembered by different visual images for each of us. Use the means that suits you best. If the exchange is represented by a reminder make the double visual impression, as-- An Abstract Co., Champa 1208 They have the Champion TIN SAFE A Restaurant, Main 8518 They have Main(ly), VEAL TOUGH Remembering Addresses A student was asked to call upon a party at 2214 Third Street, and was cautioned by the man giving the address that he had better write it down. The student remarked, "It isn't necessary, I can easily remember it." Which remark, needless to say, created a favorable impression. 22 is NUN, 14 is DEER. The student made a mental picture of a NUN leading a DEER HOME (Third Street). Another address was 1939, which is quickly transferred to a picture of a TUB and a MOP. Remembering Fractions Fractions can be converted into words and thus carried in the mind with exactness. A great many are illustrated in the following list. These words all begin with the letter S for uniformity and to make it easy to remember that the word represents a fraction: 1/2--Stone 1/5--Steel 9/10--Spats 4/5--Sorrel 1/8--Stave 1/6--Stage 1/4--Steer 5/6--Sledge 3/5--Sawmill 3/4--Summer 1/3--Stem 7/8--Skiff Other words can be made for the other fractions. 1/7 would be Stock and 2/7 Sneak, and 3/7 Smack. A combination of these words with the Code list will help with fractions. 9-1/4 would be WHIP STEER. 12-2/5 is TOWN SNAIL. 54-1/2 is LAIR STONE. 35-1/6 is MAIL STAGE. Remembering Department Numbers
