Shock, Not Altitude, Believed
To Have Given D. c. Boy
His Voice. saa "
By WINIFRED VAN DUZER,

tists here today oppressed great
interest in the spectacular method
by which William Rosendorf, six
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Will

street northwest, Washington d..
c.. gained power Of speech at At
lantic City. ...-.
The boy, who hears perfectly,
but who has been mute from
birth. suddenly found himself able
to speak when an airplane in
which he was riding reached an
altitude of 1000 feet.
DR.. Frank Keil, authority on
maladies OF the ear and throat,
stated that the case of the Rosen-
dorf boy has no precedent in the
history Of science. He continued:
However, cannot say that I
believe altitude necessarily Is a
cure for non-functioning or un-
controlled vocal chords.
1T Is more likely the shock to
the nervous system would remove
the inhibition which prevented
speech"
DR.. Carolyn Bender. another spe.
cialist, recently of Chicago. stated
that no matter what the process of
cure, the result is reason for be-
iieving that airplane flights may
prove useful in treatment of many
forms of nervous diseases.
DR.. Bender said:
The theory of shocking the ner.
vous system from an abnormal into
a normal condition appears TO be
reasonable. We hear frequently
of shock working the other way
round.
Medical science Is full of in
stances Of crippled nerves rising

emergencies. We have heard Of
persons paralyzed and unable to
move springing from their beds
and walking without difficulty when
their rooms caught fire.
"I personally knew a boy whose
right leg had been drawn UP and
useless from birth, but who used
this leg with ease when he fell into
the water. So vigorously did he
thresh about with both arms and
legs that he kept himself afloat
afterward.
"a little patient Of mine lost the
use of her vocal chords after she
had been cruelty frightened by her
playmates- by being thrust into q
dark room In which she believed
there TO be Hons lurking. You see
this In an inverted example Of the
effect of shock. she was cured by
being taken through dark rooms
by her mother. whS constantly ex-
planned the uniikelihood OF hons
entering a home and hsding under
tables.
DIR. Keil stated that the medical
history of the war relates many
cases Of speech recovery similar to
the case Of little William Rosen-
dorf He added:
Among shell-shocked soldiers, we
found that any acute shock to the
nervous system often would elm
mate the nervous trouble, just as
a shock brought ii about in the
first place.
1T seems likely the boys fright
or astonishment during his air
plane ride shocked him into the
ability to speak. I do not think II
would have the same effect on all
mutes."

SHORT SKIRTS TABOO
IN NORMAL INSTITUTE
4Sz&s Y ~ ~

NEW ORLEANS. May 31.-Skirts
worn above the knee are baned by
the student body OF the Normal
School here. 1t was announced
recently.
The announcement was made be-
cause of criticism of attire worn by
the girls on a recent trip aboard an
excursion steamer.
Critics said the girls wore EN-
above the bend.
In their announcement the student
body terms the accusation an insult.
Normal school girls know better
than to wear skirts above the knees,
says the announcement. They have
never appeared like that in public.
Never will they. While we want
none of our girls to feel as If they
must not wear skirts above the
knees we do not believe we should
regulate the length of the dresses,
for some girls are taller than others.
