Novel Cure for stutterlnu.

A novel cure for suffering was sug-
gested by DR.. ]. Herbert Claiborne Of
New York at recent meeting of the
Medical Association of the Greater
City of New York and reported in the
New York Medical Journal. This is to
reverse the manual dexterity: in other
words, to educate left-handed child
to use his right hand aud to turn
nght-handed child into left-handed
one.
Doctor Claiborne cited one case in
which suffering associated with left
handedness had been cured by chang
ing the left-handedness into right
handedness and drilling the voice at
the same time. He cited another case
in which 1t had been relieved for two
or three years by simply changing
left-handedness into right-handed-
ness, without accompanying vocal e1-
ercises.

MIGHT GET TWO EXTRA HOURS
Advocates Of Daylight Saving Could
Do It by Setting Alarms Ahead
as Well a. Clocks

One good thing about compensations
Is that they are always ready to change
to suit circumstances. That Is, Of
Of course, what cOmpensatlons are for.
We have, therefore, no sooner made up
our minds that we shall have to stay
at home with our backyard gardens
this summer than we are confronted
by the suggestion that our clocks may
be set ahead in order to give US an ex-
ira hour in the garden every evening,
says writer in the Indianapolis News.
1t is easy enough to understand that
an hour In the garden every evening is
worth many day at summer resort.
There is, to be sure, the difficulty of
getting up an hour earlier every morn
ing, but it would not really seem an
hour earlier. Most of us do not like
getting up In the morning no matter
what time 1t is, and an hour or 30
makes no noticeable difference at that
time Of day. AS far as all that il con-
cerned there may be some difference
Of opinion as to whether the clocks
should be set ahead in order to give
us that hour In the evening or whether
the alarms on our clocks should be set
ahead In order to give us the extra
hour In the morning. 1t looks on the
face Of 1t as though it might be DOS
sible to get two extra hours out OF our
days.

THE FOOD CRISIS.
Forewarned 10 Forsarmed - Prove
Your Promises by Deeds.

The Star knows in no better way for
lodges to do their bit" In this war
than for them now to arrange them
selves into a kind OF a cooperative
body that the less fortunate brothers
and sisters can and will be taken
proper care of when tho real famine
comes this winter. Our oaths and OBJ
legations compel US to look after the
widows. orphans and unfortunate
members What better aid. help. sup
port or succor can we give them than
by US now looking out for these then or
probably ourselves? The churches
could likewise form some cooperative
union whereby the poor and distressed
members who had literally coutribut-
ed once to the church. but, for some
reasons were either too poor. too sick
or were unable to do 80 now. could be
given proper foods by = little fore
thought, wise business dealings and
expert management. The Star offers
this plan to the lodges and their aux
iliaries: First, appoint two men from
each male and two women from the
female lodges to form themselves into
a large committee OF the whole; which
committee will lay plans and devise

RAISE MONUMENT TO SHARK
Japanese Fisher Folk Seek to Propi-
tiate "Deity" Which Died and
Was Placed on Exhibition.

For the first time within the memory
of the oldest inhabitants, two large
shark appeared recently of the Grand
hotel, Yokohama, and created sensa-
tion. They did all manner of Annette
Kellermann tricks of swimming for the
entertainment of the hotel guests, who
gathered upon the verandas and along
the Bund. Several unsuccessful at
temps were made to harpoon the big
fish. Many shots were fred at the
swimming monsters, but they did not
appear to mind a .38-caliber bullet in
the slightest degree. They finally pro-
ceeded up the bay toward Tokyo as
far as the residence of the French con-
sui on the Okawaga river, but finding
shallow water, they returned to the
harbor, dived and were not again seen.
The Tokyo Yomiuri has another
shark story describing the landing at
Odawara Of dead member of that
family, eighteen feet in length, and its
subsequent exhibition at Asakusa. The
fisher folk Of Odawara have subscribed
a small amount of money to erect a
stone monument to this animal deity,
which, they assert, was guardian OF
the fisheries off that coast for CEN
turies.
They are indignant that the great
fish is put on exhibition for money and
are raising the monument to propitiate
the spirit SO that it will not wreak a
terrible vengeance upon the mercenary
Inhabitants of Odawara.

Bird. SAFEGUARD Against Famin

The world war must soon result in a
shortage Of labor and chemicals used
in the preparation Of insecticides.
hence the importance OF sparing bird
life, as defenders Of crops from insect
enemies, becomes a measure OF ele-
mental preparedness against k1mine,
to say nothing of the sentimental as
pect involved. The United States agri-
cultural department reports show that
the damage now done by insects
amounts to more than $1,OOO,O 600, 600
a year. The destruction of our insect
eating birds would speedily result in
nationwide famine. We need the
birds for that reason II for no other
Exchange.
