nSneech DefectiHes.p

Children with speech defects de-
serve the sympathy Of those who
come In contact with them.
These children present a tragedy
to which a majority OF teachers n
parents are strangely blind.
At home the onset of this condi-
ton is a signal for Impotence and
on the part of the parents. If
the teacher Is similarly unsympathetic
and impatient, the unfortunate con-
dition comes to a crisis.
The oversensitive child notes with
humiliation and embarrassment the
smiles provoked by his efforts to
speak.
The teacher, II not exceptional, Is
prone sooner or later to lose patience
and to pubraid the unfortunate in the
presence Of his fellows.
Difficult sounds are more n more
slurred over in fear, and soon the
whole vocal mechanism Is thrown
into a panic.
Soon the sufferer or stammerer
prefers silence to ridicule and as a
result he feels his whole existence
is poisoned.
This poor unfortunate is peulciarly
in need of the teachers help. by
encouragement and patience he may
be spared ridicule and saved from
mental agony.

GETTING AT COMMUNITY PKOBLEWS
BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE

to make a contribution toward the
right settlement of today's problems.
Thousands of our boys have already
done so, giving their lives to the
cause. Some of us are already tempt
ed to belittle this service-and when
you hear a mar talk slightingly of
the soldier-dead, brand him as a mis-
cradle coward.
For the people a hundred years
hence will appreciate their sacrlhce,
even though we've gotten tired or
the war"
But there are other things to do.
There are community problems
that we alone can solve.
We live closest to them and they
should therefore concern us most
vitality.
How are you going to find out what
to do?
The best way to begin is to talk
about them-"town hair fashion-in
an open forum.
Get together a representative COM
| mittee to form a simple organization.
Make arrangements to get the use OF
a hall, a church, a school auditorium,
| a labor hall, the town hall and build
| up a program Of the best speakers
you can get, who will deal with
community problems In a vital way.
But give the audience a chance 70
ask questions-that's what will Gre
ate interest every time.
And have some live singing by a
good leader. Perhaps you can secure
some h~igh-grade musicians of various
kinds to help out.
Out OF the discussions hould come
some very practical suggestions no
only for community action, but fol
individual service.
It's a lot better to deal with then
in the open, and maybe-once in &
while anyway-they may be more
than half right.

This is not O. fortunate lay, &C
cording to astrology, for Uranus and
Mars are strongly adverse. Venus Is
in q fairly favorable aspect.
During this sway the human mind
Is believed to be peculiarly sensitive
to sinister impressions and to be
easily inlamed by evil and rebellious
Ideas.
1t IS a menacing planetary govern
ment for manufacturing interests and
again strikes appear to be severe IN
their effects.
The metal trades and all hat con
Germs construction is subject to the
most unlucky swa Of the stars max
Ing for heavy losses to property own
ers as well as workers.
Uranus continues in q place held to
encourage the misinterpretation of
noble motives and the hatred of bust
ness or political policies that seem to
be p~hilanthropic Or altruistic.
The sway is not a favorable n for
domestic harmony or happiness. al
though it encourages love-making on
the part of new acquaintances.
just a year ago a London astrolo-
ger foretold that the autumn of 1919
would not be satisfactory for the
President. who would probably find
either his health or his life in peril.
Warning is given hat the next
eclipse of the sun November %.
which falls in the first ocean of Scor-
pic and the seventh house, will affect
foreign trade and increase mortality.
Under this government of the stars
i ambition Is likely to be easily fed, for
1t increases egotism and self-assur-
ance.
While there will be many candi-
dates for President mentioned at this
time, surprises are fo~reshadowed as
the ultimate result Of the national
campaign.
Again severe storms are indicated
and 1t Is probable hat the winter
season will be severe and changeable.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have a year of more or less stress
They should make no changes an6
should beware of entrance to a quar-

Children born on this day may be

RIPPING
Some Sweet Day.
BY WALT MASON

Some day I will reform the world, and make the crooked
places straight; then every evil will be hurled to outer dark
ness, sure as fate. But now / have to do my chores, and keep
the well known wolf away; 1 have to fix the cellar doors, and
lay in coal and -four and hay. Some day, with you, I'll take
the stump and talk from morn till night arrives, send old abuses
to the dump, and brighten up mems darkened lives. But now
Ihave to raise the price of things we need-it takes some roll
and pay the chap who brought the ice, and t'other guy who
brings the coal. And sometimes, as [ pay my bills, | think per-
haps that helps as much as whooping up and down the hills,
demanding things, to beat the Dutch. And often, as I do my
chores, I think that helps the world along as much as raising
raucors roars, and showing that all things are wrong. Some
day I'll leave my useful tasks, forsake my simple, homely joys,
and stand on boxes and on casks, and wave red flags, and make
a noise. Then you will know, if you are near. that something's
wrong beneath my thatch, and you may take me by the ear,
and lead me to the BOBBY hatch.

SEVEN CLUBS lNDORSE
ATHLETIC CLUB PLANS

With the Endorsement Saturday by
the Lumbermens' club Of the proposed
plans for building an athletic club
house, with assembly rooms, dining
rooms and other accommodations for u
or 10 club organizations that are now
without any permanent headquarters, a
total Of seven clubs have indicated
their support Of the plan. Others which
have voted as approving the idea are
the CITY club, Rotarians, Lions, XII
wants club, Insurance club and the
Builders exchange, These organizations
represent a membership of more than
| 200,
The plan was first suggested to the
City club by l., s. Akers, the secretary,
who has presented 1t to the other or
g~anizations, The presidents of each Or
ganizatlon which has indorsed the
movement are authorized to meet later
to discuss actual plans, These thus
far, are only tentative, but In a general
way the idea Is to have stock taken by
members of each organization interest
ed and TO erect 8 club building to cost
at least half a million dollars.
