French Socialists
And Radicals Keep
Up Attack on BRAND

Paris. Jan. 13.-(AP)-The radi-
Gals and socialists pursued their eff
forts to smother the BRAND govern
ment in the finance committee Of the
chamber today. Meanwhile there was
diligent canvassing of the deputies
by the minister OF the interior, M.
Chautemps, in the Hobbies, furnishing
tangible evidence that the spirit of
Locarno", which the premier not long
ago said had penetrated the councils
of his official family. had disappear
ed from the cabinet.
M. Chautemps openly solicited the
votes of the deputies against NJ. Dou-
mer's financial measures, which he
and the other radical ministers had
voted for In a cabinet meeting just
before the holidays. This revelation
OF a fresh outbreak of dissention
within the government gave rise to
excited comment. though 1t was far
from a surprise to a good many Of
the deputies, who were aware that
the agreement in the cabinet on M.
Doumer's bills was merely a holiday
truce.
M. Brands friends were promptly
on the trail of the recalcitrant min
lister OF the interior, warirg the dep
uties that the premier would not
submit to being crowded out of office
by the chamber committee and that

DR.. TYSON SPEAKS
TO ST. Marks men
ON MENTAL DISEASE

Perhaps the most interesting and
thoroughly absorbing talk Gin point of
expert information) which members of
the audience had ever had occasion to
enjoy, was that delivered by DR.. For
rest c. Tyson, superintendent Of the
Augusta State Hospital, to some half
hundred members Of the st. Marks
Mems Club at the regular January sup
per meeting observed in the parish
house Wednesday evening.
DR.. Tyson's topic was Modern Con-
ception Of Mental Diseases" and,
speaking from his long and intimate
experience in the treatment Of patients
suffering from mental disorders, his
remarks were listened to with the clos
est of attention and interest by his
hearers.
The address by DR.. Tyson followed
delicious supper which was served
under the direction of Mesdames Rob-
ert A. Cony, Frank McArdle and
Dwight Higgins. consisting of chicken
patties and a dainty collation. of &C.
compartments. The attendance at the
supper meeting last evening was one
Of the largest noted this season. Judge
Robert A. Cony. president of the St.
Marks Mems Club, presided and intro
duced the speaker Of the evening.
Tracing the history Of psychiatry
and its relation to civilization through
all the ages, DR.. Tyson prefaced his
remarks on the modern conception of
insanity, or melancholia and dementia,
most entertainingly. He recalled the
illusions to these mental disturbances
ana disorders in the Old Testament and
by the classic poets, and carried hsf
audience with him through the Dark
Ages when Mediaevay Europe ignored
the scientific teachings Of the Greeks.
and subordinated science TO the church.
He developed his theme on the pro-
gress of science and study of dementia
in the era of Hippocrates (460 b. CO.
and told his hearers Of the centuries
Of struggle by science against error,
cruelty and superstition. DR.. Tyson
defined and differentiated the different
forms and evidences of mental dis
eases and told something of the mod
ern treatment and handling of such
cases.
The entire address was fascinating
and following the main talk the speak
er answered questions from his audi
ence, making the session of exception
al interest and value educationally.
Besides the address by the super
intendent of the Augusta State Hos
pital there was short musical pro-
gram at the meeting last evening,
which included chorus singing under
the leadership Of Col. Keith Ryan,
with Harrison Lyseth presiding at the
piano.

there was a possibility that the city

the city could come back on the own

Augusta radio fans. driven to des-

have tried in numerous ways to stop

and steps will be taken to see il they
cannot be remedfed.

Hillman's, using a Press Stralght
Eight, receiving set with loop an
tenna, took them about the city IN
an automobile and by the use of the
loop, showed them where the trouble
wos located. Stopping in front OF
the Western Union office on water
street, code could be easily tuned In,
but when the Western Union wires
were all "cut out" by Manager Will
liam Beauchaine, the trouble still
nnnNrfr1O down in
front of the Postal Telegraph office
it was much louder and investigation
proved that here lay one of the
causes of code interference which has
been troubling many. To be abso-
lutely sure on this point the loud
speaker was taken into the Office and
the operator as he used the tele-
graph key could clearly hear his
"stuff' In the speaker. 1t Is thought
that the trouble there is due to the
use of an alternating current sound
er, connected to the electric light
wires. This seems more probable
/ because of the fact that at all of the
other places where direct current
saunders are used, no noise IS heard.
The set was then taken to the vici-
nifty of the Edwards Mill and a
strong humming noise was heard. ap-
parently due to static electricity be-
ing discharged regularly from one
of the machines. This is probably the
cause of the humming noise. which
has been heard in all parts of the
city and which has been attributed
by many to a machine because of its
likeness to the noise of a motor.
A visit to other plants ins the city
failed to disclose further trouble and
it is thought that If these two places
can be fixed radio fans will at once
note O. change for the better in the
operation Of their sets.
