DUTCH CUTTING IN
ON BRITISH WORK
Latter Worried as Building of
Own Ships Is Taken Over
by Holland.
BY LEOPOLD ALETRINO.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
AMSTERDAM, February 13.-"One
mans gain Is another mans loss,"
and the serious crisis in British ship
building has meant a boom for the
Dutch industry. In the last few
months 16 contracts for building
ships for Great Britain have been
placed with Holland.
Recently the government Of the
Dominion of Newfoundland placed an
order for a 2,500-ton steamer with
Rotterdam shipbuilding company,
the New Waterway. And another or
der has been given to the Schiedam
Shipyard to build 2,300-ton tank
steamer.
The lowest British bid was much
above the figure quoted by the Dutch
firm, and no British firm was pre-
pared to guarantee delivery of a ship
within seven months.
The North England Steamship Own
erS Association has appointed a COM
mission to investigate the causes of
the ever-increasing Dutch competi
tion, which the British are facing. The
uneasiness of the British owners is
understood here, but, it is pointed
out, conditions in the Dutch ship
building industry are misunderstood
in England, as the Dutch industry is
not kept alive by large subsidies.
British Labor Blamed.
Tho reasons why the British yards
are losing work and Holland is go
ing ahead are more far-reaching.
Unemployment in the Holland ship
building industry is only 10 per cent,
while in England 1T is 31.4 per cent.
The fact that the British trade
unions are putting forward demands
for niger wages-boilermake are
asking for an additional 10 shillings
a week and engineers for an extra
pounds considered here to be the
main reason why the Dutch yards are
beating the British yards in open
competition.
Raw material is no cheaper in Hol-
land, but the trade unions rules are
less rigid, and there is less friction
between employers and employed.
Also working hours are longer in
Holland.

Results of Professor Fishers Expert
ments With Yale Students.
TIE claims of Horace and Profess
scr C%hittendon Of Yale University, in
regard to- the effectiveness Of thor
ough m~astication of food in restoring
perverted appetite to normal instincts
are corroborated by Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale University in a re-
port recently issued describing one
of a series of experiments he is con-
Quoting. This report shows that
nine healthy Yale students who par
ticipated in the experiment doubled
their working power physically and
increased their mental capacity by
strict attention to thorough m~astica-
ton of their food and obedience to
the dictates of appetite. Under the
chewing regime the appetite gradual
ly called for less and less meat and
other high-proteid foods.
Professor Fisher appears to show
il this report that one of the princi-
pal causes of excessive fatigue Is
hurry at meals, which induces the
excessive use Of high-proteid foods
(that is, meats, fish, eggs, and other
hearty foods), which are stimulat-
ing in their effects. This stimula-
tion the stomach Graves when food is
not properly prepared for it by thor
ough mastication. If excessive use
of ~high-proteid foods is the primary
cause of early fatigue, while at the
same time the high price of these
very articles of food helps hold the
laEoring man IN poverty, the i'm
portance of this discovery to the lab
oJing man Is Unreasonable. 1t would
seem, from the report of investiga-
ton, that other normal physiological
conditions the laboring man should
hot experience at the end of the irdi-
aary days labor such fatigue as
would hinder his spending some time
in improving himself and in trying
to lift himself in the economic scale.
The report of another experiment,
which was with f%oity-nine 1esh-eat-
ers and Observation-Disclosures, has pre-
viously been made public, and show
ed that those who either abstained
from meat altogether or ate it spar
ingly, had greater endurance than
those who ate meat in the ordinary
quantities.
Professor Fisher is an economist
and not a psychologist, and is maxi
Ing these studies solely to get at the
practical truth as to what the factors
are which induce fatigue, for itAis
fatigue which sets the limit to the
days output of q man. He is still
engaged in his Investigations.

sruTrnRrNa DOCTOR cURnD.
Like Learning a New Language, Says
the French Patient.

The details of the case of a prom
inent Partisan physician who has
been cured Of a habit of suffering.
which seriously hindered him in his
work, have just been made public,
and have created q great deal of in
terest not only among the medical
fraternity but also with the public
at large. Since he was seven years
old, the physician, M. LOUIS Renon,
has been afflicted with thfs infirmity.
For some months he followed the
autophonic method under M. Colon
bet, fills, but without result. AL
though he was a brilliant pupil, he
found it difficult to pass his exami-
cation which his professor required
oral replies. Such a word as phe-
nacetin was utterly beyond him. This
ind several other words he found
iimself forced to write.
Finally Or. Renon put himself
inder the treatment of DR.. Chervin,
one of his conferes. During the
irst week the patient was not per-
nitted to speak one word except
those which were given him by Or.
Chervin and which were spoken only
At his house. This was the ordeal
which tested the patience of DR.. Re-
aon. He could communicate with
sis friends only in writing. If some
one stopped him on the street and
started to speak to him he drew
from his pocket a card on which was
written; 4 I'm following a treat
nent for suffering and l am not
permitted to speak"
For two hours in the morning
ind two in the afternoon he prac-
iced speaking with his medical adj
wiser. He learned how to breathe,
how to pose the voice, tt emit sounds,
20 manage his lips, to shape his VOW
els and consonants, and even to say
some words extremely slowly.
During the second week he spoke
even more words. e%nunciating each
syllable carefully. This second week,
In which be seemed to be learning
a e language, was more difficult
than the first. If he failed to say a
word correctly he was obliged to re-
peat it until he succeeded
In the third week DR.. Chervin gave
mis- patient phrases to speak. He
was also asked to read passages from
the great poets and orators. Besides
exercises he practiced speaking
three or four hours each day.
After this the treatment proper
was completed. but for several
months DR.. Renon practiced speak
ing for at least two hours a day. At
the end of a year he continued this
habit for half an hour a day.
The result of the cure was excel
lent. He was able to talk to his
friends without suffering. He even
gave courses of lectures with sue
cess.
II consider myself practically
cured, said DR.. Renon, but not def
nitely. | a speak by wishing to
intensity. II | am tired or if l do
not think tt speaie slowly, it some
times happens that 1 still stutter. DR..
Chervin's method is only for people
