NEW LAND ALI or TING PLAN.

Government Will Issue Cards to All
=. Persons In a Hall on March /. ~
Unwilling that record breaking en-
durance test should be held; with the
approval Of. the government, Secretary
Ballinger has adopted novel plan for
the allotment Of the forty acre farms
at Yuma, Cal, during March.
The necessity for the plan arose
from the anxiety. Of claimants to be
the first on the spot when the allot-
ments were made. The secretary was
Informed the other day by telegraph
that more than 200 men and women
already had formed in line before the
land Office In Los Angeles SO as to be
the first on hand on March,, when
the allotments are to be made. The
hardships which would result from
such an endurance test did not appeal
to the secretary. SO he wired the land
Office that different plan has been
adopted.
In accordance with the new arrange
ment the secretary has ordered that a
hall or a baseball park large enough
to accommodate all who desire to par
ticipate In the allotment be engaged
In Los Angeles for March /. To those
assembled in this hall or park by
8 a. m. on that day cards will be dis
trlbuted by agents of the government
On these the name. age. height and
postoff1ce address of each home seeker
must be written. -. - .<.:.
At any time between March / and
10 the applicant may appear at the
land Office in Los Angeles and upon
being identified by the card may make
application for any Of the 172 farms
that the government is to give away.
An opportunity will be given to those
who file on the same farm to decide
among themselves which shall have
the land. If this is not done the gov
eminent officials will decide the lucky
person by lot.

phragn's Proper Work. .
Changing a boys voice from falsetto
to deep baritone, by suggestive hyp-
notism is the feat recently accomplish
ed in the City hospital at Boston. The
success Of the operation has led Alice
Nielsen, the opera singer, to put her
self upon record as having long ia
vored the use of magnetism in voice
training. "A boy Of fourteen presented
himself for treatment at. the City hos
pital more than year ago. He had
contracted a severe cold and by lack
Of attention had lost his voice. The
case finally came to the neurological
department, Of which DR.. Philip
Coombs Knapp is the head, and it was
turned over to DR.. Abraham Myerson,
one of his assistants, who, although q
young man, has already, won a big
reputation as specialist In psyche
therapeutic treatment of the throat
Spoke In a Harsh Whisper.
'"The boy says DR.. Myerson, "had
been examined by the throat depart
ment and sent to the nerve department
with the explanation that there was
nothing in his throat or nose to ac-
count for his lack of voice. He was
not able to speak above harsh whis-
per, and this trouble was diagnosed
as hysterical in origin. At the end Of
two months of varied electrical treat
ment he ceased to call at the hospital
and did not again appear for several
months. He had neglected ali treat;
ment, and his VOICE had ceased to be a.
pure whisper, but had in it d tinge Of
thin, high pitched squeak like the
whistle Of an old fashioned peanut
rooster 49,, ;1.,
"The treatment used was. simply di-
rected toward a relaxation of the
spasm- The patient was Invested Of
clothing and placed ina reclining po-
sition on tables where he was shown;
how to use his diaphragm in breath
ing. After fifteen minutes instruction
he managed to do this fairly well, and
next he was given instruction for the
control of bis explanatory breath.
Cured After Three Treatments. "a,
cat the first treatment these were
merely long, gently whispered vowel
sounds. At the second treatment and
after days practice in these exer-
cises, with no other speech efforts. his
exercises were advanced by the voiced
pronunciation of the. vowels,gand the
instructor helped to offset the tend
ency to spasm by holding down the
larynx with his finger He made prog
ress SO rapidly that after the third
treatment he was discharged as cured.
Today his voice is a good and con-
slant baritone, which at first startled
him on account Of its depth"
