THAT

A new type automatic crossing
gate has been developed for rail-
way crossings. The approaching
train operates the gate within
200 feet of the crossing. Fail
ufe of an auto to stop will not
cause destruction of the gate
when the arms are down. Possi-
bility of the power falling has
been guarded against by having
two, and in some cases three,
sources OF power available.
A self.winding watch has been
developed in England. The wind
ing is effected by simple device
through the natural and uncon-
scious movements of the arm,
and the watch is so constructed
that overwinding is impossible.
If the watch is worn a few hours
during the day it will run through.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By Dr. LOuis =. Bisch-

NOTHING disconcerts . person
N quite as much as suffering.
And, Of course. the more discon-
certed and self.conscious the suf-
ferer becomes. the worse he
suffers.
Volumes could be written on
the subject OF speech defects. All
sorts OF courses and methods Of
treatment have been devised 70
overcome these annoying difficult
ties. and few are the sufferers
who have not tried one or more.
Emphasis Is usually laid, how
ever, upon purely mechanical
means. THAT is, speech exercises
are practiced, and little more, i
anything, Is done.
Undoubtedly this accounts large
" for the fact that SO many
speech handicapped individuals
either do not receive definite bene-
fit from speech exercises or, II
they do, they so frequently re-
lapse afterward.
The embarrassment equation. II
/ may so put it, is not taken care
of. That is why the cures do not
always work. lit is really inn
possible, you see. to suffer speech
difficulties and not at the same
time also suffer some degree Of
nervousness with it.
Whether a functional nerve dis-
order is fundamentally response
BILE for the suffering or whether
the suffering produces the neu-
rosis is perhaps a debatable qties-
tion. At any rate. one leads TO
the other and produces q vicious
circle. This circle must be broken
into If permanent relief is to be
hoped for.
First of all. a thorough exami-
nation should be made of the
mouth cavity, also Of the nose
and ears.
/ knew a child who had speech
trouble because she was stone
deaf and had never yet heard her
own voice. Yet the deafness had
gone undiscovered.
All possible organic factors for
the speech disturbances, whatever
its variety, shdAid be diligently in
| CURED into.
Shocks and frights are frequent
causes that start people suffering.
But here. again, the nervous
makeup of the individual, the
favorable soil for the sprouting OF
the defect, as it were, cannot oe
ignored.
Imitation may play an import
ant role in children. lt ls safest
not to allow your child To play
with one that hesitates In speech
or lisps.
Nearly every sufferer. does not
know how to breathe. PROPER

want to add word of encour-
agement to those speech sufferers
who have tried to cure them
selves and failed.
Don't despair and don't give up,
whatever you do. Sometimes
people don't succeed after repeated
trials running into months and
wears. only to be able to shout
! Eureka" after another attempt.
And try. above all, not to care
what people think, hard as 1
know it is.
Develop an attitude OF indlffer-
ence If you possibly can. This
will help to remove self-conscious-
ness and will make for cure.
Then look to those nerves OF
yours-what / mean is the way
they work the functional side OF
them.
