BRITISH ARE USING
HYPNOTIC TREATMENT
(By Associated Press. J


London, Aug. 2.-Practically ev-
cry British hospital for soldiers now
has on it's staff one or more physi.
clans trained in administering hyp-
motto treatment. According to the
medical correspondent of the Daily
Mail, the results obtained have in
many cases been little short of mi
raculous.
The chief use of hypnotism has
been in cases Of shell-shock where,
in addition to any actual wounding,
the patient is suffering from a pro-
nounced disorganization Of the ner-
vous system. This may take the
form of complete or partial blind
ness, loss Of hearing or speech, para
lysis, melancholia, or loss Of men,
ory.
The treatment consists of hypno-
tising the patient, and while he is
in the hypnotic state the operator
coaxes him to exercise those senses
and functions which previously had
been lost or quiescent. Then the
lost sight or memory is gradually
awakened in the unhypnotized state,
and, according to the Mails cOrre-
spondent, a complete cure is almost
always merely question of time.

cent act of the Legislature abolish

When County Clerk George o.
Butler learned of this decision on
the part Of Justice Ellis he immedi-
ately telegraphed Governor Park
Trammell at Tallahassee asking il

that Governor Trammell confirms

ty court, which recessed last week
basduse of the illness of County
Judge d. F. Pattishall, will revert
to the Circuit court.
According to dispatch from Tai
lahassee, the habeas corpus proceed
ings were brought before the Su-
preme court from Bay county from
some prisoners in the county Jail
there who declared that this act of
the 1915 Legislature abolished the
county court in that county and that
inasmuch as they were not answer
able to this county they were being
illegally held.
The following Is a copy of the
telegram George o. Butler, clerk of
the county court received from r. A.
Gray, secretary to Governor Park
in reply to his telegram
asking whether the report was true
that Justice Ellis had upheld as valid
an acst of the 1915 Legislature abol-
ishing the county courts throughout
the State.

Hon. George o. Butler,

that Judge Ellis has not ruled that
court has been abolished.

LOOKS GOOD FOR
PENSACOLA NAVY YARD

Pensacola, Aug. 2.-Capt. Mark
L. Bristol, head of the aviation SER
vice of the United States navy, has
returned to the Pensacola aero sta
tion from Washington. He has been
at the latter place for weeks map
ping out plans for improving as
quickly as possible the branch of
the service in which he is in COM
mand and has returned to Pensa-
cola to put these plans into effect.
1t is very probable that motors, If
not aeroplanes, will be manufactured
at the local station in the near fu-
ture. Referring to this feature Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels is quot
ed by the New York World as fol-
lows:
"The European war has empha-
sized the value of aircraft as nav
al aid The last Congress recog
nized the Importance of aircraft and
gave us $1,OOO,OOO to begin fleet
of scouts in the air. We have es-
tablished at the abandoned navy
yard at Pensacola an aeroplane sta
tion with school for instruction and
shops to repair machines, and the
construction officers will soon have
completed the plans for the con-
struction of our aeroplanes at Pen
sacola. Important experiments are
being made at the navy yard in
Washington. I had made contracts
to buy hydro-aeroplanes in Germany
and in France just before the war
was declared. But we have placed
orders also with home companies
and are buying all types that are
suitable for our service made by
American manufacturing concerns.
Almost daily we are assigning young
officers to the Pensacola school, so
we will have trained men to fly in
the new craft ordered"
