VERY FEW WOMEN sTAMMER.
Why They Are So Seldom Athlete
 With This Disaa SC

Why They Are So Seldom Afflicted
 With This Disease.
 How many women have you ever known who stammered? A few of us, if this question were put, could remember one or possibly two, but the great ma jority would have difficulty in recalling a single case
 And how many me? s
 Most persons at even a moments mo- tice can recall cases ranging in num- Der from one to five.
 This divergence is due not to any trick of defective memory, but to one of the most curious of actual facts.
 The truth is that the proportion of those afflicted with stammering of stut- terng is 100 men to woman It is one Of the most remarkable things in the science of pathology. Even the special ists in nervous diseases seem utterly at loss to account for it.
 An eminent medical authority is quoted as saying that in all his exper- fence he had known of only one woman who stammered. When asked how he accounted for the immunity of the fair sex from this affliction he replied: "Stammering is an epileptic affection of the organs of speech, and the victim is usually person of high strung, ex-
