If YOU'RE NERVOUS
JUST STOP TALKING

WASHINGTON, January 6.-Women
stand little show of curing themselves
of nerves and temper, according to Dir.
Enrico Serafini. of Italy. who says
silence is the only cure for neurasthe-
MIA and all nervous disorders.
Nervous depression and nouras-
thenia are duet results after dill
gent research" said DR.. Serafini to-
day, ito a tendency to talk too much.
Now, to talk does not mean to sound
letters, but a mental effort which eX-
cites the entire nervous system. The
effort of thinking of making up phras-
es, of listening to and forming argu-
ments with hearers. of being attentive
to them, of co-ordinating the thread of
conversation. All these things inten-
sify a general awakening of the per-
son which finally results in a nervous
breakdown.
Persons who are not loquacious,
medical records show. have always
been remarked for their good health
and this silence is directly related with
the first order a doctor gives his pa
tient-that of absolute quiet

CAUSED BY MINE

so twisted and torn as to bear little sem
blance to a ships hull. The bottom 1:

siderable portion of the very nose Of
the ship, with her ram intact. All aft
of that is tangled steel None but a per
son familiar with battle-ship constFuc'
ton could state with any degree of GER
tainty the relations Of this twisted mass
to the vessel as she was before her de-
structiOn.
The models reveal however, the sur
prising accuracy OF the findings of the
| Sampson board regarding the displaced
portions of the Maine. These findings
were based on the report of divers, whose
statements were interpreted by officers
familiar with the. construction of the
Maine. The description of the condition
of the Maine. following the explosion.
given by the Sampson board, was as
follows:
The Sampson Board.
A portion OF the port side of the pro-
tective deck, which extends from about
frame 90 to about frame Il. was blown
up aft and over to port The main deck.
from about frame 30 to about frame Il,
was blown up aft and slightly over to
starboard folding the forward part of
the middle superstruCtire over and on
top OF the after part.
This was, in the opinion of the court,
caused by the partial explosion of two
or more Of the forward magazines Of the
Maine.
AT frame Il the outer shell of the ship
from point eleven and a half feet from
the middle line of the ship and six feet
above the KEEL when in its normal posi-
ton. has been forced up SO as to be
new about four feet above the surface OF
the water. therefore about thirty-four
feet above where 1t would be had the
ship sunk uninjured.
The outside bottom plating Is bent
into a reversed V shape. the after wing
of which. about fifteen feet broad and
thirty-two feet in length. from frame II
to frame y. is doubled back upon itself
against the continuation OF the same
plating extending forward.
AT frame is the vertical keel is broken
in two and the fiat keel bent into an an
gle similar to the angle formed by the
outside bottom plating. This break Is
about six feet below the surface of the
water and about thirty feet above its
normal position.
In the opinion of the court, this effect
could have been produced only ythe eX-
plosion OF mine situated under the bot
tom Of the ship about fran IS and some
what on the port side of the ship
No surprise was occasioned by this
report when the finding was made public
here, as ia had been accepted as a fore
gone conclusion since the Maine was even
partially uncovered that the finding of
the Sampson board would be confirmed
This view was strengthened when il was
learned that Admiral Caps. former chief
contractor and assistant in charge during
the building Of the Maine. had found
In his visit in September nothing to con-
tradiCt the Sampson board theory. Capps
was sent down to identify a portion OF
the hull

While it is impossible to tell anything
of the result of The HeraId's contest, it
is well not TO let opportunity slip by to
get the votes; you might need them and
need them badly, on the last day, and
then 1t will be too late.
You only have a little over a week

vital interest to you. Several instances
have come to light where it would have

HERALD CONTEST ENDS
ONE WEEK FROM TO-DAY
All the Contestants Down in the List Realizing Their
Chance to Win the Extra Trip by Staying
i'm the Race to the Finish

With only a week after this to the
close of The Herald contest, the contest
ants are busy as bees lining up their
Votes for the final count, December 16
Unexpectedly, considerable activity in
the voting is shown, and the total is now
close to the 6,5OO,OOO mark. This means
that on the final day the total vote will
he far beyond the S,OOO,OO mark, the point
which it was thought might be just pos
sible when The Herald laid the plans for
the contest. The vote will go far beyond
all expectations. and il would not be sur
prising if it was close to the lO,OOO, 900
mark.
All of the contestants who are work.

securing votes the past few days. Most
of these votes will not be in evidence
until the last day. The idea of some can
enough votes to keep them either ahead
in their district or within striking dis
lance so that their friends may not feel
that they have dropped out.
Besides the rivalry which is on for the
trips, one from each district, and the
extra trip. there is a hustle for the pleas
ure of naming the Chaperon in the double
trip offer.
This makes a double prize for the can
didate with the highest number of votes
in all the districts. after the three world
tours have been chosen.
When the contest started a code of
rules was presented TO each candidate.
and all have adhered to them from the
start
The Travel Department has been asked
numerous times how high the total vote
would run; how many votes it will take
to win in each district, and how big a
vote 1t will take to win the Chaperon
trip. In every instance the answer was.
