The Speech Clinic.

AS part of it's better speech train
ing for pupils. one high school has
established a clinic for all persons
whose speech is hampered. not by
ignorance of good English but by
physical defects, nervousness, nasal
ity and twang. foreign accent and
other durable difficulties.
This clinic is free to the whole
public. Voice and throat tests al
ready have disclosed that in a ma
jority of cases the defects could be
corrected by speech education without
medical aid. Some cases require sur
gical or dental attention. \ great
many of the difficulties are directly
caused by mental or nervous dis
turbances These are treated to relax
muscle tenseness and to develop new
habits of nerve control. General
vitality. poiSe and mental control are
emphasized. for they are very helpful
to articulate. agreeable and effective
speech.
Here is practical service to the
community which many schools could
offer. Although not every teacher of
English or Of public speaking has the
knowledge and training to do this
work, it would not be an impossi BILE
standard to require one such ex-
pert in every community.-Shreve

Col. Harvey's Plain Talk.

1t was not long speech which AM
bassador Harvey made at the Thanks
giving dinner Of the Anglo-American
Society in London yesterday. 1t was.
in fact, notably short speech for Col.
Harvey to have made: but, as the boys
in the street would say. the ambas-
sador said a mouthful." In sub
stance he told his British hearers. and
the rest of Europe as well. that if they
expect help from the United States
they must quit doing the baby act and
show a disposition to get out and
hustle for themselves.
To Europe which thinks ii has
hard row to hoe today. the ambas-
sador recalled the years following the
Napoleonic wars. when things We're a
great deal worse than they are now.
There was not then any rich nation
on this side the Atlantic. or elsewhere,
to which Europe could turn for help.
so Europe got busy and worked out
its own salvation. Instead of sitting
down in despair. waiting either for
shoulders to the wheel, and in a rela-
lively short while abounding pros
perity had succeeded war-brought ad-
versity
Ambassador Harvey very gently re-
buked those Englishmen who seem to
think America ought to be a little
ashamed of. the fact that it has be-
come a creditor nation. He reminded
them that. despite war losses and
loans which perhaps are uncollectible.
Great Britain still is the worlds great
est creditor nation. and he had not
observed any EnSlishmen hanging
their heads in shame because Of that
fact. The ambassador was in gen.
erous mood. He expressed the utmost
willingness that Englishmen should
keep their hard-earned wealth and use
il as they saw fit. All he asked, and
he asked that in spirit of humility,
was that Americans be accorded the
same privilege as to the wealth which
they had created by the same proc
esses which brought British wealth
into being.
Taken all in all. Ambassador Har-
vey's speech did not run along the
lines Of ordinary diplomatic express
sions. but probably it was pretty good
diplomacy, at that. Our friends on the
ether side have aimed some rather
plain speaking in our direction, and
we still regard them as our friends.
II they are not. in turn, willing to be
at the receiving end Of some plain
talk there is nothing very substantial
back Of their friendship for US.

A Good Friend Gone.

In the death of James. H. Mann
Washington loses one of its best
friends in Congress. for during his
long service In the House of Repre-
sentatives Mr.. Mann always displayed
the fullest appreciation of the capi-
tails peculiar needs. and was fortunate
ly in position during the greater part
of that time to give practical express
sion to his knowledge through legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Mann understood Washington
as unfortunately do but few Of those
who come to Congress. He knew the
equities Of the Districts fiscal rela~
tions with the federal government. He
was critical at times Of administrative
matters of specific legislative pro-
posals, and this attitude made him the
more efficient as a friend in crises
when the Districts welfare was un-
justly menaced
1t was always satisfactory to lay a
matter Of District concern before
Jim" Mann, as he was fondly known,
Tor he understood so quickly the eS-
sential elements of every matter of
District administration and legisla-
ton. AS an official member of this
community for a long period of years
he studied it. as he studied all other
questions. thoroughly, intelligently
and judicially.
In sagacity. in integrity. in courage
and in sympathy Mr.. Mann was one
of the most efficient members of Con-
sress. His qualities won for him a
wide circle of warm friends His loss
will be mourned by those who knew
him as a neighbor, as a fellow citizen.
as we'll as those who appraised at
their full value his qualities as a con-

Senator Brookhart-Col. Brookhart.
as he was known throughout Iowa,
and throughout the Army during the
world war-was q member of the
Iowa National Guard when the war
with Spain began in 1898. He went with
the 4Sth Iowa Infantry to Cuba. And
in the Spanish war he found his first
really great interest in rifle practice
His company was served thirty
rounds of ammunition for target
practice. and the instructions that ac-
companied the practice, it seemed to
young Brookhart. were decidedly
lacking. At the close of the Spanish
war. he went back home, captain
then, and resumed his interest in the
National Guard, and particularly in
rifle practice. 1t happened that a
considerable quantity of ammunition
was available just then for rifle prac-
tice. This was just what Capt.
Brookhart was looking for. He took
his men out on the range and burned
up thousands Of rounds But at the
same time he made marksmen of
them. He trained the rife team of
the Iowa National Guard for the
national competitions. he went with
the team to the matches. and rubbed
up against other riiemen and learned
still more about the art of shooting
Year after year he built up rifle
shooting in the Iowa guard. and
finally the Iowa team ranked at the
top. Individual members OF the team
became champions of the world. took
part in the Olympic games. And the
fame of Brookhart as an instructor
in rife practice grew and grew.
Now 1t happened that the general
staff of the Army had one theory
about rife practice and Col Brook

turing district. the driver of an engine
struck car tracks at the foot of a hill
at such speed that he was thrown from
his seat, lost control Of his machine
and was sent crashing into a truck
drawn up alongside the curb. He suf-
fered injuries that may prove fatal.
1t is, Of course, desirable that the
fire apparatus should be driven rapid
ly in response to alarms. Time is a
vitality important element, and on the
speed of response and action depends
the security Of the city. Washington
suffers comparatively little in fire
losses because of the promptness with
which alarms are answered effectively.
But nothing is gained if the speed OF
the apparatus results in accidents
which may wreck the engines and
wound or kill tine firemen. Indeed.
such an accident as that ot this morn

members Of the department and both
machines, but to contribute to the risk
of devastating: fire.
Let these two safety week" acci-
