TRAINING LEFT HAND
RESULTS HAVE NOT BEEN As
ANTICIPATED.
Possibility Of Second Speech Center
Was Considered, but Experiments
Have Destroyed That Hope,
According 70 PhysIcIsns.

Some time ago the development Of
leftehandedness in children was warmly
advocated by various persons. not only
because in this way reliance could be
placed on both upper extremities for
mechanical work, which would UNI
doubtedIy be OF advantage In case of
serious disturbance of the functions Of
the right arm, but also because the
hope was entertained that by training
the left arm q second speech center
might develop In the right hemisphere
Of the brain in the same way as the
welEdeveIoped right arm corresponds
with the speech center place in the
left half Of the brain.
The Berlin physician, M. Frankel,
was especially active in the advocacy
Of this idea-in fact, experiments in
this direction were undertaken In va
rious localities. The practical results
which have been so far reported do
not correspond In any degree to the
optimistic expectations of the advO-
Gates Of the method. says the Journal
OF the American Medical Association.
Doctor Schafer. on the basis of per-
mission granted by the school depu-
tation, collected statistics with refer
ence TO the left-handedness among
about Il, 900 pupils Of the Berlin public
schools. These statistics show that
4.06 per cent of all the children are
left handed. SIS FER cent OF all the boys
and 2.9s per cent Of the girls. The
percentage of children in whom both
hands are equally developed is very
small, being only 81 per cent The
overwhelming majority, 95.73 per cent
OF all the children, are distinctly right
handed. In several school districts,
among 44S teachers, there were ten
who were left handed
L. Katscher's work on Training the
Left Hand" was the theoretical basis
for the exercises to train the left hand.
They included exercises in writing,
arithmetic manual training and gym
nastics;. especially in the last two
systematic efforts were made. In gem
eral, the result showed that the pos
sibility Of employing the hitherto I'M
used left hand at first excited great
Joy and marked interest, but the phys
ical awkwardness generally was. a
great hindrance.
The outcome Of the whole expert
.ment shows that in no case could a
preference for the left hand be de-
veloped. It may be trained to be a
welcome assistant to the right hand,
but never a substitute for 1t. In
teaching writing the complaint is
made Of q destruction Of the esthetic
sense and deterioration OF the hand
writing. The children refused to write
with the left hand, became nervous
and worried over it, and increased in
tellectual development was Id no case
observed. Almost all those who gave
an opinion were unanimous that the
advantages stood in no relation to the
expenditure OF time, pains and pa
thence.

ARMORED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found It OF
the Greatest Value in Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
mobile, it covers a vast amount Of
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most Of the cars are incased
in light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges In thickness from three,
sixteenths of an inch to a quarter OF
an inch, and that is impervious to rife
and machine-gun FIRE. All the vulner-
able parts OF the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear, and in
some Of the newest cars the wheels.
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire. are
said to withstand the toughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect The cars carry light arma-
ment-one or two machine guns SO
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete cfrcle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew. which may number from four to
eight or more men. are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
! have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright.
and that is capped with domed roof,
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly OF at a sharp angle without
even ,denting the steel Youth's Com
panion.

ALLIES WILL BLOCK GERMAN
U. S. SHIP PLANS


London, July 14.-The allies, it is
reliably stated today, would not con-
sent to any arrangement between
Germany and the United States by
which interned German liners would
resume their saiIings under the. Amer
lean flag with German=American
understanding that they carry no
contraband to England.
Cable dispatches from the Berlin
bureau of the United Press, reporting
that the German foreign office had
approved such a proposal excited
keen interest in official circles today.
But it was the unanimous opinion
that both. the British and French for
eign offices would state fatty to
Washington, if such a proposal were
formally made, that it could not be
entertained by the allies.

How on earth he ever got there was
not the question. The thing was that
with his manicured nails he could not
