HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
BY DIR. LEONARD KEENE HIHSHBERG.
A. H., M A., M d. tJohns Hopkins,.

Every stammeror Requires Different
Cure Method.
Out of the abundance OF the heart
the mouth speaketh, but out of the
excess of thoughts, before speech is
ready, there appear only nervous
ness and suffering.
When a child begins with CONVEX
sational burrs, his vocal path Is
strewn with dreadful "errs," While
IL is true that they never taste who
always drink. and they always talk
who never think, suffering and
stammering often begin In children
who think faster than their vocal
machinery can express In speech;
Professor John Madison Fletcher.
an experimental psychologist of dis
tInction. has Just completed a thor
ough investigation into the problems
of suffering and stammering with
conclusions of momentous value for
those with defective speech. Ameri-
can universities have been strangely
derelist in the matter Of reducing the
number of Sufferers in this country.
Some Foreign Cures.
At the University of Berlin, since
as far back as 1886, there have been
numbers of teachers sent out to the
different cities, trained to teach those
with defective speech so that their
vocal lameness may be eradicateo.
EVEN Japan has done likewise. with
the United States. fat, compliment

Americans, like the rabbit who
raced with the tortoise, are always

an experience of my own not long
ago. My motor car stood in front
OF one of the hotels Of New York
awaiting me. / had gone in for the
purpose Of leaving a card for a
friend who was staying there. When
| came out and was about to take
my car Mr.. Hill appeared from
somewhere and asked my chauffeur
IL the car was for hire I presume
he thought SO because he saw 1t
standing in front of hotel entrance
for hire, but 1t will give me the
greatest pleasure to take you
wherever you want to CO.. He ac-
cepted and his face lighted up with
the cordial expression of greeting
with which those who knew him
well are familiar
when we were upon the smooth
pavement I said to him: I am very
glad to meet you, for 1t gives me an
opportunity to ask your opinion of
two men of whom l want to know
something. One of these Il named
him) is a man whom we are consid-
ering in connection with an import
ant executive office in a great cor
poration. You know him thoroughly.
] will take 1t as a great favor IL you
I'm an instant Mr. Hill replied, His
hatband is too small for him. That
is all he said, and that was enough.
Our people did not care to secure the
services of a man whose whole char
acter Mr.. Hill described In that sim
gle sentence.
Well l said, there Is another
man Il named him) whom we are
considering In connection with the
most important position in our rail-
road company. You know this man
better than We do Mr.. Hill. Tell me
what you think of him.
Almost before my question was
Mr.. Hill replied: He is q
You know that the
modern gun Is rified.'
ut was not necessary for Mr.. Hill
to say anything more. In this terse
answer he had indicated to us that
the man was a back number. or, as it
is sometimes called, 'has-been,' and
therefore he would not do for our
purpose"

II never look at a sunrise that 1t
does not give me a sunrise feeling, "
says John Wanamaker.
We all know how the very land
scape seems to laugh with US when we
rejoice, seems to exult with us when
we are glad, and the very sun and
the flowers seem to reflect our joy.
Sunlight has an inspiring effect,
a beneficent influence; it Is favorable
to health; it makes all nature rejoice,
and 1t warns the SC Al of man. So a
cheerful face lightens other hearts,
gives strength to other lives, and i'm
parts courage to face difficulties that
may frown before one. Some one has
said, "A happy human FACET is the
gift that may be made by poor or
rich, by old or youngS 1t is the gift
to which all are entitled, with which
all are pleased. 1t is written in a
language all can read, and carries a
message none can refuse"
The test of character is ones ability
to remain cheerful serene, hopeful,
even under fire. 1t Is easy to be
bright and optimistic when one en-
joys robust health and is prosperous,
but 1t requires heroic qualities to DO
so when poor health mocks ambition
and we are surrounded by disheart-
ening conditions.
Some of my readers may have heard
of Smiling joe the optimistic little
cripple at the Sea Breeze Home on
Long Island. He was kept strapped
to a board during four years of his
life on account of severe spinal
trouble. Yet he was the happiest
child in the hospital, and, in spite of
being strapped to his cruel board all
these years, radlated more sunshine
than anybody else In the home.
The influence of q cheerful spirit
cannot be estimated. 1t takes only q
drop Of oil to stop a screeching axle

week, and by the time she was old
enough to make her London debut she
had become thoroughly accustomed to
the ways of stage life.
Harriet Mellon cannot be ranked as
one of the greatest of British ac-
tresses, but because Of her marriage
to the wealthy banker Coutts, who
was said to be the richest man in Lon
don, she became very well known.
Harriet had long been acquainted
with the wealthy banker, but it was
not till he was eighty years old, i'm
mediately after the death of his first
wife, that Harriet became his wife.
/ Several years later, when Mr.. Coutts
died. Harriet Mellon became his sole
heiress With characteristic generos-
ity. Mrs. Coutts shared her fortune
with her stepchildren. Five years
after Mr.. Coutts's death, when Mrs.
Coutts was fifty years old, she mar
ried the ninth duke of st. Adams.
Another famous woman whose
birthday Is celebrated on November
10 is Amy Levy, one of the most able
of women writer's of Jewish descent.
Her most powerful work was Kan

writer took up the defense of the
muoh-maligned wife OF the philos-
opher Socrates.

From the Baltimore News.
Discussion of the Mexican aues-
ton is rather futile business. Con-
ditions there change rapidly, and re-
ports of what is happening are I'M
trustworthy. The crisis of today dis
appears tomorrow. Yesterday Villa
was reported to have yielded to the
suggestion that he retire with Car
rama. On the other hand. there
were reports OF fighting that made 1t
appear as IL civil war had broken
out again. Tomorrow the situation
may have an entirely different as,
pect.
AS q rule, national administrations
have little to complain about In the
matter of advice, whatever problem
they have under consideration. So
lutions in abundance are TO be had
without even the asking for them.
Tariff problems, railroad rate prob
lens, financial problems are all alike
TO the man In the street. He viii
furnish out of hand solution for
any or all Of them.
The absence of this cocksurenese
about what to do when the Mexican
troubles bob up speaks volumes fol
the difficulties that face the admins
tratlon below the Rio Grande. That
Is one problem everybody Seems
willing TO let Washington handle ir
it's own way. The alternative to sit.
ting tight being. apparently, to &C
down and take charge OF Mexico
seems so appalling in present cir
| cumstances that the most light
hearted of jingoes hesitates advising
that step. In consequence the adj
ministration is having a unique op.

Meyer London. soeialist.


From the Rochester Democrat Chronicle.
Representative Henry M. Gold
fcgle, of the Tive fth congressional
district, of the State of New York,
has been neither better nor worse
than the average Tammany con-
gresham. 1t has been reserved for
him, however to suffer the unique
experience of retiring to make way
for a Socialist successor, Meyer Lon
don by name, who owes allegiance
only to the East Side and will not
take orders from Murphy.
1t is asserted by some who know
the East Side well that the election
of Mr.. London Is not Socialist vic
tory, but an -Tammany victory,
and the declaration of independence
of the young Russian idea lists, who
have been educated in the public
schools" The East Side, in other
words, has emerged from the state
of political feudalism which existed
while "Big Tim Sullivan was alive,
and proposes to make itself felt at
| the ballot box.
The Jewish immigrants who settled
| in New York had been taught obedi-
! ence by the knout. Obedience Ia
| orders was instructive with them
/ sullivan and his Heutenants Issued
orders how they were to vote, and
they voted accordingly. Sometimes
| they were told to stay away from
the polls, and others did the voting
| in their names.
But the emancipation Of the Easi
| Side was made possible through tht
! public schools. The children of these
| immigrants went to school. and there
they obtained their lesson in liberty
They learned that they had political
rights, and they determined to exer-
else such rights. One swallow falls
very far short of insuring hot, dry
summer. and too many hopes ough-
not to be built on the defeat Of Gold

Less Responsive to oratory.

From the Louisville Courier Journal
It is a noteworthy fact that political
speakings in Kentucky do not attract
the voters as they did in former years.
The time has been, TO doubt, when
epeeches made votes. 1t Is seriously
20 be doubted if many votes are made
nowadays in that way. About the
hest that the partisan orator can hope
70 do Is to. "stir up" the boys who are
already committed to his way Of
thinking and induce them thereby to
do their full duty by "the ticket"
Concurrently with the decline of
the "large and enthusiastic crowds
there has been an enormous increase
In the political advertising carried by
the newspapers, and also a large use
OF circulars, posters and other printed
appeals to the voters. A few years
ago the averag'e rural correspondent
reported with cheerful regularity that
the speakers remarks evoked great"
.swild" or "vociferous" applause. Now
the correspondent Is more apt TO re-
mort that This remarks were well re-
ceiyed." which is equivalent to say
ing that no one threw any fruits, veg
etables or bricks at the orator.
Most voters read the newspapers
and even the illiterates in rural COM
munities are Influenced to no small
extent by what they hear read or re-
peated from newspapers. The voter
who does his own reading does not
need the assistance of stump speech
to make up his mind how he is going
TO vote. More than likely he is as
well posted on political issues as the
speaker who essays to instruct him.
The printed argument is much more
effective than the spoken argument
The voter who hears a political
speech has forgotten most of it before
the echoes of the speakers voice have
died away. Probably he has only
vague memories of the points that
impressed him most But published
appeal from a candidate or a party
advocate can be read and reread In
the ouietude of home and. II need be
can be put away for future reference
1t has taken the politicians a long
time to wake up to the value of news

George Allen Roy as an Analyst

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
Sir: The Sixty-third Congress will
be known IN history as a record
breaker in more ways than one. II
will be known az the Congress that
conceived and enacted into law a
war tax when the country was at
peace with the world, and placed a
burden of sos. 100000 taxation upon
the manufacturers and business in
terests of the United States when an
analysis OF the financial situation dis
closed that there was no absolute
necessity for the same.
When President Wilson was inau-
gurated there was a balance in the
treasury general fund of nearly $780,
100000, a legacy from the Republican
administration.
The present administration reduced
this balance to $74,151, 900, but it IL
probably more now. The government
now has S75,0O0,00o deposited in the
national banks. This s75,000,000 and
the remaining surplus in the treas
ury would much more than meet
any decline In customs, and without
q dollar OF additional taxation, II
drawn out when needed for disburs-
| ment, and would Immediately return
to circulation.
Is there any logician who would
state that it Is more logical for the
government to assess the business
interests of this country an additional
S105, 100000 at this time, when the
/ government has more than enough
funds in hand to meet the decline In
| customs?
| Would 1t have been more logical fol
! the government to have used the
$75,o0O,000 on deposit in the nationa
1 banks than to have assessed the wal
tax and thereby force the business
interests to borrow the s75,000,000 al
6 per cent. interest from the nationa
banks to pay the war tax?
And the President Is authorized By
law to issue emergency certificates

cerned with motor troubles in articu-
lation, breathing and vocalization
Associated with these are to be found
other spasms In neck. face and chest
muscles which have grown out of
the original trouble.
All Of the suffering or stammering
movements have a tendency to be-
come stereotyped, fixed habits. 1t,
therefore, comes to pass that each
victim is law unto himself The
cure of one differs from that or the
others In accordance with the par
ticular set of muscles involved.
The emotions which open the
fioodgates Of fear, rage, anxiety,
dread, jealousy, anger and shame
are not only the precursors OF slut
tering but the Ubiquitous pitchforks
which prod the soul of the sufferer
to his worst explosions.
Not alone the juices and poisons OF
such violent emotions, but even the
moods and solemn attitudes of those
afflicted seem to maintain a state of
suffering. Associations, Imagination
and states of paying attention" or
not must all be investigated and care
fully sifted out before the speech can
be brought into proper state of
equilibrium. Usually the sufferer
improves If his attention is diverted
from his speech.

4 Bridge Of Dreams

Only flower beside the window pane,
But when met its fragrance all the years
Fled from like the mornings misty tears,
When the sun god begins his glorious reign.
Again bent above a cof6ned face,
And from the circling buds there
That same odor from the flowers free
Seeming token of deaths gift of grace.
Strange that slight thing should bridge the long,
Slow, passing days. that mount years last;
That flowers fragrance, careless song,
Should bring fateful moments from the past;
Behold how fragile the web holds our bliss
When such slender thing brings back es tragedy like this

Dying Girl Sings Hymn BOY Who Shot
Her, Hears Death Song.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1o.--Jennie
e. Mclaughlin, the sixteen-year-old
girl who was shot by her former
sweetheart on Saturday night, died
yesterday In the Methodist Hospital.
Her last moments furnished one of
the most dramatic scenes that the
nurses and physicians at the hospital
ever witnessed.
Just before II o'clock yesterday
morning a doctor told the patient that
she could not live.
She then lay back on her pillow and
started to sing Nearer My God to
Thee" Doctors, nurses and patients
In the ward were silent as the girl
sang the first two stanzas. In the
middle OF the third her voice became
weak, and then failed her. A few
minutes later she was dead.
| One of those who heard the death
song was James Fraley, the youth
who flred the fatal shot and then sent
q bullet into his own stomach. He
was lyme in a critical condition In
another ward.
