One MOtner says.
My older brother was handicapped
all his life by stammering, and |
was afraid my small son might fall
q victim to this nervous defect,
which was common among my
high-strung ancestors. Therefore,
/ carefully keep him from associa-
ton with any stammerers, as chill
dren often start stammering by imi-

him as free from emotional stress

batting self-confidence. His reading
IS watched, and 1 do not let him
haze fairy tales that might frighten
him or present ugly images. Too
Exciting games are not good for a
boy with a nervous disposition
either. His life should be made to
run as smoothly and calmly as POS

FRANCES long awaited reply to the

was presented to foreign secretary
Marquis Curzon late this afternoon
but 1t offers no solution Of the SEEM
ingiy Understandable indemnities
problems.
Count de Saint Aulaire. the
French ambassador, in an earnest
talk with Lord Curzon lasting near
~ an hour and half, set forth
Frances views ON various phases Of
the Ruhr question but failed to de-
fine in specific terms his country's
exact position on some of the points
raised in Lord Curzon's recent ques-
tionaire.
The general verdict of those in a
position to know what to place at
the conference is that 1t was "un-
satisfactory and inconclusive" but
these authorities were quick to add
that the way was left open for fur,
Their discussion. This Is taken to
mean that the exchange Of views will
continue for another week and per-
haps longer.
