STAMMERING IS
 EASY TO CULTIVATE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Having spent the best part of my life in the study of stammering ana stuttering and kindred maladies, I nat urally read with a great deal of interest the recent news item regarding the at tempted suicide of boy IT years old who stammered
 stammered myself for nearly 20 years l know what it means. I want to register a protest against the com mon habit of making fun of the boy or girl who stammers. If the average person knew what terrible state oI mind ridicule and laughter brings upon the stammefer, I am sure that no one would permit the stammerer to see or hear any ridicule of their attempts to speak It is not too much to say that this ridicu1e and laughter deepens the stammerer's trouble from day to day. brings on a highly nervous trouble that may eventually result in a com plete mental breakdown.
 This practice of making fun of the stammerer is due to ignorance and thoughtlessness, and every thoughtful person who has any regard for the rights of other people who are unfor- tunate enough to stammer will see to. it that he does not laugh at the stam- erer or make fun of him. The stam- merer is entitled to just as much con- sideration in his misfortune as the man who is blind or the man who cannot hear We would not think of laugh ing at these, and yet the stammerer is continually subject to such merrimenl.
 also noticed that the young man who attempted suicide was constantly reminded of his trouble by a neiGhbor child who insisted upon singing Beautiful K-K-K-Katie" This song should be put on the greased chute as quickly as possible How quickly we would put the ban on a song based upon the affliction of blindness or deafness, yet how readily we lend our selves to spreading a song based on the affliction of stammering.
 Another thing which can be verifie by any interested person is that mim- icry or imitation is one of the most common causes of stammering. Alex ander Melville and the son who follow ed him-Alexander Graham Belle. the of the greatest authorities on defec- tive speech in the United States and a reference to their works will show that imitation and mimicry are one of the most prolific causes of stammer- ing and stuttering. Any one can read- fly see that the singing of this song. Beautiful K-K-K-Katy" represents that all parents of small children should be warned that the singing or this song in their homes or by their children can easily result in these chill dren becoming stutterers-while the parents would probably wonder what in the world brought it on.
 The average mother or father would probably ponder long time before they permitted their children to play with a,neighbor child who stammered or stuttered, but they do not shesitate to play this song from morning until night little knowing what danger 1t offers to the impressionable mind Of a child. Yours very truly.

 How to Make Skin
 White and Beautiful

an appropriation of the state govern ment. Announcement was made by the executive committee of the Alabama lie hearing will be held by it next Wednesday, beginning at 10 a. m, and that all persons having ideas about the form of the memorial were in vited to appear at the hearing.
 After the various suggestions have been received the executive committee will hold an executive session and de- eide upon recommendations which will be submitted to the memorial commis- sion at a meeting the following Thurs day.
 Every person or organization inter ested in the form of the memorial is asked to attend the public hearing which will be held in one of the as- sembly rooms at the capitol. So many persons are interested that the eXecu- tive committee will receive in advance the various ideas and then will de- termine the time to be allotted to each one. Each suggestion or idea will re ceive the same time and as many per sons may speak as may care to, pro- vided no more time than the allotment is used
 When the memorial commission was organized it was thought the form of memorial would not be announced until the campaign for funds had been fin- ished, and it had become known how much money would be available. Dur ing the past few days the newspapers have been giving much space to the va ricus forms and many persons have insisted that a decision should be made without delay. This caused the execu- tive committee to decide to make an i'm mediate recommendation to the main commission.
 The foremost suggestions are a state history building and a state hospital. Many persons are interested in each project. It is proposed by those who favor the history building to move the state department of archives and his tory to the proposed building and to make it the official custodian of the records of the states part in the world war as well as of the spells of war in the form of guns, etc, which will be brought from Europe by sons of Ala bama It is also proposed to erect marble slabs, giving the names of the

 Only one-half of the immense boiler capacity was used yesterday in making the test, and the speed developed by the mammoth turbine was only about one-half its capacity, but all those who witnessed the test were pleased and high lv elated at the showing made.
 Just as quickly as any of the machinery and equipment in the giant powder house is tried out and fully tested it will be turned over to the government represen- tatives, and the preliminary test made of the turbine yesterday was prepara- tory to it being given into government control. The wonderful bus tunnel, which is designed to carry and distribute the current generated by the turbine to the various buildings in the plant, is being put into ship-shape, and will shortly be delivered to governmental control.
