HOW
MUSIC CAN BE USED TO
OVERCOME SHELL SHOCK.
The Society Of Vocal Therapy
was founded two years ago in
England to provide teachers for
the instruction OF soldiers and
ex-soldiers in breathing and sing
Ing under medical supervision.
At the second annual meeting OF
the society, Lieut.. Col. Sir Fred
erick Mott gave nm address on
the influence of music on body
and mind.
He said that early In the war
two cases Of shell shock in which
there was complete loss of mem
DRY came under his notice, which
showed that musical memory re-
turned earlier than other forms
of memory-or, rather, the pow
er of recollectlng past expert
ences. He found that soldiers
suffering with shock who had
been singers or players of the
plano were able to remember
and sing songs or play pieces
they had learned on the piano,
and yet could not remember eX-
periences connected with their
daily vOcatiOns or surroundings.
Again, men who were mute from
the same cause would at a con-
cert suddenly regain their speech
by joining In the chorus of some
well-kno%n song. OF all the
arts, music appealed most to the
emotions, and probably words
associated with music were
more stably organized in the
mind, owing to the musical orr
gin of the language of the emo
tions.
He quoted the case of SOL
der who suffered from aphasia
following gunshot wound OF
the left side of the brain. The
bullet passed through the speech
center and also blinded him. He
understood what was said to
him, but could express judgment
only by "Ah" and "Oot," which
correspondent to Eyes" and NO"
He could, however, sing sever
al songs through without diff
Guilty, provided the first word or
bar of the music was given to
him. When the song "'Tis a
Long Way to Tipperary" was
hummed to him, he started the
well-known chorus, winding up
with: "Are we downhearted?
No." But on being then asked
to say "Tipperary," he replied:
"Oot," and could not utter any
Of the words. A month later he
could speak.

COLONY HOUSE IS PREFERRED
Give Poultryman Chance to Raise His
Fowls Under Ideal Conditions
Must Keep Clean.

Colony houses on free range give
the poultrymnn chance to raise his
birds under Ideal conditions, But the
same sanitary precautions must be
taken as with laying houses. The small
houses must he frequently cleaned and
sprayed and the roosts painted with
kerosene or some lice paint to keep

VARIETY OF FEED ESSENTIAL
Every Flock Of Hens Must Be Supplied
With Necessary Material to
Manufacture Eggs.

Every flock Of hens is an egg fac
tory. Like any other factory the flock
can be given the best materials in the
world to work on and still fail to pro-
duce enough to pay for running the
plant. Good feed In sufficient variety
Is necessary for egg production, but
the ability to manufacture eggs from
feed must be there first.

Washington, D. C.-President liar ding, in one of the most important speeches made in years, touching upon many questions vital to the nation, ad- dressed Congress as follows:
 Members of the Congress: You have been called into extraordinary session to give your consideration to national problems far too pressing to be long neglected.
 We face our task of legislation and administration amid conditions as diff ficuIt as our government has ever con- templated.
 Under our political system the peo- pie of the United States have charged the new Congress and the new admin istration with the solution-the read justment, reconstruction and restora- tion which must follow in the wake of war.
 It may be regretted that we were so lily prepared for wars aftermath, so little made ready to return to the ways of peace, but we are not to be discouraged. Indeed, we must be the more firmly resolved to undertake our work with high hope, and invite every factor in our citizenship to join in the effort to find our normal, onward way again.
 The American people have appraised the situation and with that tolerance and patience which go with under standing they will give to us the In- fIuence of deliberate public opinion which ultimately becomes the edict of any popular government They are measuring some of the stern necessi- ties and will join in the give-and-take which is so essential to firm re-estab- aishment.
 First in mind must be the solution of our problems at home, even though some phases of them are inseparably linked with our foreign relations The surest procedure in every government is to put it's own house in order
 know of no more pressing problem at home than to restrict our national expenditures within the limits of our national income, and at the same time measurably lift the burdens of war

Members of Congress sought to impeach Judge Landis when the court blamed officials of the bank for the crime because Carey, who is 19, was forced to support his mother on a $90-a-month salary.

to eliminate the burdens of a heavy armament. The United States ever will be in harmony with such a move ment toward the higher attainments of peace. But we shall not entirely dis card our agencies for defense until there is removed the need to defend. We are ready to cooperate with other nations to approximate disarmament, but merest prudence forbids that we disarm alone
 League of Nations Scrapped.
 In the existing League of Nations, world governing with it's super-powers, this republic will have no part. There can be no misinterpretation, and there will be no betrayal of the deliberate expression of the American people in the recent election; and, settled in our decision for ourselves, it is only fair to say to the world in general, and to our associates in war in particular, that the league covenant can have no sanction by us.
 The aim to associate nations to pre- vent war, preserve peace and promote civilization, our people most cordially applauded. We yearned for this new instrument of justice, but we can have no part in a committal to any agency of force in unknown contingencies; we can recognize no super-authority.
 Manifestly the highest purpose of the League of Nations was defeated in linking it with the treaty of peace and making it the enforcing agency of the victorS of the war.
