PUT HYPNoTIsM TO GOOD USE
Australian Physician Announces That
He Has Cured War Stammerino
by its Employment.

Writing In the Medical Journal OF
Australia, DR.. Clarence G. Godfrey
states that during the past two years
q number of cases have been referred
to him for treatment by hypnotic sug-
gestion, in which stammering or slut
tering had developed, or had been
revived, after years of disappearance,
as the result OF shell shock or
of various war stresses. Sometimes
q hpynotized patient has been told to
keep on repeating some well-known
nursery rhyme and not to cease at the
signal TO awake, although in the mid
die of the rhyme, but to keep on talk
ing. He will usually manifest MS
astonishment at finding himself talk
ing without difficulty. Sometimes
patient will converse on waking with
out realizing that his stammering has
disappeared until his attention Is
drawn to 1t with amusing effect. In
one case the patient spoke perfectly
In sleep at the first attempt to hyp-
notize him, although he had had a
very bad Stutter for eight months past,
being almost inarticulate. He woke
in a few minutes apparently cured
and has been free from stutter ever
since.
It has been noticed that every case
treated, even the worst, has been able
to speak far better in the hypnotic
state than out Of 1t.

SCALES IN IDAHO
Inaccuracy Charged By State
Official At Boise.

Boise, Idaho. .-Charges, tnat lal-
sifying scales are in common use
"a Idaho were made Dec. II by
Ernest Crouch, deputy state sealer
If weights and measures, whose
statement is here given, in part:
oThe tests and inspections made
during the past few months have
.hown there are hundreds Of
Inferior makes of scales, weights
and measures being used in the
stare which should never have
been permitted to be sold, much
less used.
"Many states have passed laws
controlling and regulating the sale
and use of weighing and measure
ing apparatus, and those which
have not are the dumping grounds
for all inferior grades of such
apparatus, which is the reason for
finding so many inferior makes in
this state.
"All commodities sold should be
measured on the most accurate
scales that mechanical genius can
develop, and if the housewife is
going to check her purchases from
the merchant or the man is going
to check the weight of produce
sold to the merchant it must be
done on reliable scales.
"However, it is not meant to
imply that all merchants are
crooks, for, on the contrary, most
Of them are honest and it should be
stated that cases were found where
the dealer was robbing himself by
using scales that were giving over
weight.
"The scales of community are
the means of determining the
amount Of money that should be
received for what you sell as we'll
as the amount you must pay tor
what you buy, because nearly
everything you buy or sell is priced
by the pound, bushel or ton, and
II the scales are not accurate, 1t
means loss of just SO much
money to somebody.
THE condition that scales have
been found in thruout the territory
covered is amazing. Most mems
knowledge of scales is very limited
and many think as long as beam
can be balanced it will. weigh
accurately. Some have not even
realized the necessity of keeping
the pit of wagon scales clean, which
shows the need of having compe
tent inspector on the job.
"The consumer does not fix the
price, he pays it, and is entitled to
what he pays for; therefore, let il
De our duty to protect him and also

comes into being with it's purity. its
grace OF youth and movement, with
the Duncan Dancers. II Is interest
ing that tney can hold a program
with this elimination OF the bright
particular star. Soloists they have,
but the group Is presented for its
ensemble, more than for a featured
dancer.
These maidens playing at ball on
the shores OF Greece are particularly
lovely. They danced and visualized
the Greek chorus of Gluck's "Iphi-
genia in Aulis" and his "Iphigenia in
Tauris," contrasting playful and
tragic moods. The tragic muse is
beyond their dramatic expression: II
needs Isadora Duncan herself. or a
maturer Imagination. AS red-clad
Amazons they were charming, but
their Bacchanale was somewhat un-
convincing.
Lisa-"we are all Duncans. you
know" one of them said-Lisa was
the fair-haired pcrsonification OF
youth and Joy. and In solo she was the
very embodiment of spring and its
beauty of flowers. Anna Is the classic
dark-haired maid. She presents an
exquisite picture and the deepest
meaning in drama of all this group.
The music was given by Beryl Ru-
binstein. at the piano, who was also
soloist. Mr.. Rubinstein does not con-
tribute to this setting the tone pic
ture that George Copeland so marvel
ously created at the plano in former
years. He .s a technician, with ad-
mirabIe technical attainments. but his
tone is hard and his Interpretations
more performance than creation.
The severe line and proportion of
the soft gray-blue curtain setting of
this scene. with it's height. adds i'm
measurably to the t.fication of an
impression OF the classic in art In
fused with the life of youth.
