DOCTORS MAKE
 THE DUMB SPEAK

ROME, Feb. 5.-Mabing the dumb to speak through mental suggestion and the power of will is one of the miracles almost daily being perform ed by Italian army surgeons. The we'll substautiated stories of what these men are doing rival the miracu- lous events chronicled in the Book of Books, The story of the Loaves and Fishes and the raising of Lazarus, the widows son, from the dead, contain little more to marvel at than these every day battle front wonders of 1915.
 Hypnotism and mental suggestion are being successfully employed by the surgeons of the Italian army in helping soldiers who have lost the power of speech to recover that facul- ty, Experiments are also being made to see if the method cannot be em- ployed with equal success on blind soldiers and deaf men. These expert ments apply only to those cases where the nerves of sight and hearing have been shockedaand not destroyed.
 The first successful experiment with dumb soldiers were made in the military hospital at Ancona, but have since been repeated at Cava dei Tir- reni and elsewhere. Dr. Gustav Modena is the originator of the method. In his first successful appli- cation Dr. Modena had for his subject the soldiers Giuseppe Valeri and Nag zareno Aquillini. Neither man had spoken a word for six months. The first day Dr. Modena subjected the men to an electrical current and to the mental suggestion that they must speak.
 Twenty-four hours were allowed to elapse that this suggestion might work in their minds. The second day the doctor again applied the current and, ordering the patient to look him squarely in the eye, exerted all of his hypnotic and will power in imposing on his patient the command to speak
 Almost instantly Valeri, the first subject, began to humble inarticulate sounds. A little later he formed the first two words every child speaks Mamma and babbo (papa) )-and fin ally began speaking almost with the same degree of facility he had en- joyed previous to his injury at the front. Equal success was met with in the case of Aquillini, the second patient. The method now is generally employed in Italy.
 Experiments looking toward the re- storation of sight and hearing in the same way have not met with a full degree of success, but encouraging progress has been made.

Lexington, Va, Jan. 21.-The form
that Washington and Lee basketball
team showed in the last engagement
with George Washington University
has encouraged the followers of the
Generals. 1t would seem that Coach
Bill Raftery. despite the fact that only
two regulars of 1915 are numbered
among the personnel of the 1915 var
sity, has overcome this big handicap
by developing a quiniette that will be
