WANT EVERYBODY TO GRIN
Then. Business Calamity Talk Would
Stop, Detroit Manufacturer
Tells Wilson

Optimistic views of business con-
ditions were presented to President
Wilson Thursday by Henry Ford, the
Detroit auto manufacturer, during an
hours conference at the White House.
Mr.. Ford told the President he sees
no evidences of any sort of business
depression, psychological or other
wise, and said that in his opinion bust
ness is getting better all the time.
Smile and See Wheels Turn
"There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business" Mr.. Ford told the
President. "The only trouble is that
some people seem pessimistic. If ev-
eryone would only cheer up and at
tend to their business this calamity
talk would stop Immediately"
Talk Strengthens President
Officials close to the President said
he was greatly encouraged by his talk
with Mr.. Ford and that he had been
further strengthened in his determi-
nation to push the trust program dur
ing the present, session of Congress.
Third in Series
Today's engagement was the thiro
in the series of conferences the Presi-
dent had arranged to talk over with
leaders in the industrial and financial
world general business conditions as
well as measures in Congress.

ATTEND THE SCHOOL MEETING
Duty of Every One To Attend Annual
School Meeting, July Is; No
Time For Fights

The date for the Annual School
Meeting for 1914 is Saturday, July
18. 1t is not too much to ask that
every school patron, mothers as well
as fathers, arrange to attend this
meeting. The annual school meeting
ought to be regarded as the most i'm
portant business meeting of the COM
munity and should be attended by ev-
cry voter of the district.
Has your district been in the habit
at such times to "air" neighborhood
quarrels and drag them into the bust
ness hour? If SO, is it not time that
sensible men and women every where
should put up a solid front against
such disgraceful proceedings. The an
nual meeting is the time and place
to consider the welfare of our most
precious possessions, our children, the
happiness and sunshine of our homes.
There is a great opportunity to
make these meetings mean more to
the school and to the community. The
year 1914 is none too early to make
a good beginning. Go to your meet
ing, and be booster for your school,
shake hands with your neighbors and
forget your differences in common
cause for good. Some day your child
rem will bless you for having done
your solemn and sacred duty.

.OSSiFIED WOMAN IS
HELPLESS -FOUR YEARS
Limbs Like Stone, Speech A.
feCted, but Mind Clear.

Meriden, Conn.-With her legs four
inches above her knees as rigid and
hard as stone and her hands and arms
slowly developing the same rigidity,
Mrs. William j. Fredericks, fifty years
old, has passed into the fourth year of
helplessness from disease that has
completely baft1ed the specialists.
Several physicians who have exam
ined Mrs. Fredericks diagnosed the
case as petrifcation or Justification of
her limbs. The legs are dry and
shrunken. There is no flesh on them
except shriveled and hard brownish
substance in which there is no feeling.
They are bent slightly at the knee and
have been in this condition for over a
year. The hands and arms are not so
hard. but there is no sense of touch in
them. They have lain folded across the
woman's breast for ten months.
Mrs. Fredericks' mind is unusually
clear and active. She can only express
herself by cultural mutterings, how
ever, the disease having shown signs in
the last few weeks of attacking her
vocal organs. DR.. E. G. Bradstreet, her
physician, says her case is without
hope. She can eat only gruels and soft
foods.
Mrs. Fredericks was stricken with
acute indigestion in 1909 and has been
bedridden since. Some specialists who
have examined her say the hardening
Of the limbs can be traced to rheuma-
tism, followed by paralysis. The wom-
ans husband is small store mer-

PHYSICAL BLIGHT As
fruit OF The WAR
Offspring Of Survivors to Be
Weak and Crippled.

Neutrality-suspicious. Europe of the fu-
ture. no matter upon which side VIC
tory rests, declare medical men and
scientists, will sweep the devastating
hand Of physical blight. Children with
crippled forms, weak bodies and un-
balanced minds will fill the cradles of
every nation now at war, offspring of
the men made unfit for parentage by
the rigors Of the great conflict
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the Ma
tional museum and noted anthropoI
ogist, is one of the savants who has
studied the effect of Europe's conflict
upon the children yet to be born. To
him the present war presents a vastly
different aspect with regard to future
generations than any conflict has ever
presented before
Since men Of science first began to
study the effect Of wars upon the hui
man races it has been admitted that
whenever the best physical examples
of a nation went to war to be destroyed
the physical manhood Of that nation
suffered. Then it was discovered that
for every man killed or fatally wound
ed four died Of disease. AS warfare
approached its present modern charac-
ter the number of killed and wounded
in each engagement decreased. while
the number who died from natural
causes" increased. Army physicians
say that the percentage Of mortality
from wounds in the present conflict is
likely to be far less than it has been in
the wars Of the past.
But the scientists-both medical men
and anthropologists-add to that state
ment their belief that the loss of the
men killed in the war will not detract
from the physical welfare of Europe's
future sons one-hundredth part as
much as will the men who return un
wounded from the field. because war is
no longer primarily an annihilator of
life. so far as the calculations of science
are concerned. but shatterer of nerv-
GUS constitutions. creator of neuras
thenic wrecks. weakened mentalities
and sapped vitalities.

MENTAL TROUBLE IN EUROPE.
Many Lose Balance Through Terrors Of
Battle and Fatigue.

6attIe ana ARGUE.
Berlin.-The military medical author
tiles made preparations at the outbreak
OF the war for treating mental mala-
dies caused by the terrors of battle. It
had been shown by the Russo-Japanese
war that the effect Of the long drawn
out modern battle. with its terrible and
1ncessant roar Of artillery. was in
high degree unfavorable, to the minds
OF the combatants. and the record of
mental arrangements caused by the
battle in the far east opened q new
chapter in the horrors Of war In an
t1cipation that similar results would at
tend the present war the German au-
thorities established at Strassburg q
special hospital for the treatment of
diseases Of the mind caused by battle.
One of the physicians attached to
this hospital has just given in the Mu-
mich Medical Weekly some of his OBJ
servations during the first weeks Of the
war. He found that mental disorders
manifested themselves among the Al
satan population even during the pe-
Rod Of mobilization, when the terror
Of being arrested as spy was ever
present with many persons.
Still greater have been the numbers
of persons who lost their mental bal
ance through the terrors Of battle and
especially through long continued IA
tigue. Some Of these patients showed
something like hysteria and kept re-
peating in d dramatic way incidents
that they had seen In battle.
The writer uses special term, ''neu-
rasthenic depression" to describe the
effects upon large number Of patients
who had seen continuous fighting. PEG:

themselves of the notion that they
were still upon the battlefield and
