Almost Immediately after the meet

Chicago, June 17.--Wiletta Hug
gins, the Wisconsin girl who has been
hailed as a greater wonder than Helen
Keller. is not really the marvel she
seems, in the opinion Of Prof.
Joseph Jnstrow of the Psychological
Department of the University Of Wis
conSin.
Prof. Jastrow. who conducted
tests Of the deaf and blind girls facul-
ties at the university. has concluded she
tells colors by sight rather than smell
and gets sounds by hearing rather than
by vibrations.
III would take far more careful ex-
perimcnts than have yet been made,
he writes in the American Medical
Journal. TO decide whether this is a
case Of hystercal deception. or whether
other factors are involved
Say Tests Failed
Wl,ettn is credited with being able
70 distinguish colOrS by the sense of
smell, read newspaper headlines by
touch and "henr" by holding Il wooden
rod. the other end of which rests
against the head of the speaker. :,
Prof. Jas,row says that the girl
failed 10 SEQ colors when the tests were
conducted in photographer dark
room. He points out that the dyes used
in coloring wool. silk and cotton are
differently composed chemically, so that
the smells would be- different.
Willetta'S possession of some sense OF
hearing the professor bases on the as
sertion that she heard just as well when
the wooden rod was not held against
the speakers head as when II was; lier
ability to "scc" when blindfolded Prof.
Jas,row attributes to the remnant OF
sight she still possesses and the made
uuacy Of III" blindfold.
Experts Disagree
"The reason Miss IIuggins is cred l.
itcd with these unusual senses Is
through the conviction that her sight
and hearing are useless. he declares
Prof. Jastrow adds that those VINO
conduct such experiments as were tried
on the girl usually have 1.-The will to
believe" and are credulous at the be-
ginning. ,,..v
Other experts who have put Will"tta
10 tests. however. disagree entirely
with Professor ,jaStrow. Those who
saw her exhibit her peculiar faculties
before the Chicago Medical Society in
si~t the girl is both blind and deaf
