SPEECH DEFECT
AID URGED

BY international News Service

Pointing out that speech is the
most valuable Of all human accom-.
plishments. the United States Pub.
lie Health Service today declared
that speech disorders in children
have, until recently. been the most
neglected of all hampering defects
observed among them.
1t is estimated that in the United
States at least 00O, 900 persons have
some form OF speech disorder and
of these approximately 5000 are
school children who stutter. I'm
corrected speech defects observed in
children become a serious economic
and social handicap in later life, be.
cause of their bearing on educa.
tional achievements and the ability
to secure preferential and gainful
employment, it was stated.
Majority Functional
Fortunately, the majority OF
speech defects are functional in
character, not dependent on definite
organic LESSONS and. can, therefore
be corrected the Public Health
Service said. Most speech defects
develop between the third and eighth
year of life.
THE more common forms of
speech defect observed in children
are retarded speech; imperfect
speech associated with partial deaf
ness; imperfect speech caused by
certain malformations of the organs
of speech, and, the nervous speech
disorders, such as stammering, slut
tering and nervous hesitation.
The popular belief that children
who do not learn to talk at the nor
nal age are mentally defective is
responsible for much unwarranted
anxiety. While it is true that dis
ordered speech may be an early
symptom OF mental defect, speech
development may be delayed as late
as 8 years OF age in children other.

Highest Rates Ever
The last minute increases Of
House rates were made to give the
tanning industry the greatest pro
lection in It's history. The tanners
had complained that existing law
was forcing them into bankruptcy
and that the House rates would
not give sufficient relief.
The Republican leaders said the
changes would not result in any In
crease in the price of shoes as the
shoe rate had been reduced, even
though hides were taxed for the
first time and leather duties In
creased.
The Republicans meanwhile moved
to wipe out diamond smuggling.
nA at q ~ aG
9AlOrem rate on uncut diamonds was
eliminated. 1t was said this duty
brought little revenue and caused
heavy governmental expenditures IN
efforts to prevent smuggling into
this country.
The rate on pearls and cut dia-
monds was reduced from 20 to 10
per cent advalorem for the same
reason. the belief prevailing that
the lower rate would make SNUG
Cling improbable.
The much discussed battle over
the tariff on matches ended with
the Republicans endorsing the
House increase from S to 90 cents
per gross of boxes. On loose
matches. the rate was increased
from 3.4ths OF one cent to two
cents per thousand.
1t was said that 100000 gross
OF matches were imported last year,
chiefly from Russia. Japan and
Sweden. The lumber. paper box and
match industry of this country
successfully contended that all this
business could go to American con.
Germs without any increase in the
selling price OF matches II the
tariff were raised.
Some reductions in House rates
were effected on dolls and gloves.
The general rate on dolls was left
at 20 per cent advaloreIn, instead OF
the House rate ranging from 30
down to so per cent advalorem. On
gloves, a flat rate Of $3.50 per
dozen for both mems and women's
was approved.

NE v CALENDAR
IDEA GIVEN
IMPETUS

The world movement for
calendar simplification was
given impetus today with the
presentation to Secretary of
State Stimson Of report
from the national committee
headed by George Eastman, OF
Rochester, N. Y, urging par
ticipation Of the United States
at a conference under the au-
spices Of the League OF Ma
tons.
Although our committee finds
that opinion in this country rela-
tive to the best plan for calendar
change to adopt preponderantly Ia.
vofs the 10 months fixed calendar,
it does not recommend that rep
resentatives OF the United States
Government should enter an inter.
national conference committed to
this plan or any other, the report
said.
The committee gave more than a
years study to the subject, the re.
port said, and found that three con-
ditions exist to justify participation
by the United States in a world
conference.
These conditions were laid down:
THE prevalence of a demand for
calendar Improvement on the part
Of a large and representative bo0y
of American opinion.
"A growing. recognition by the
general public of the grave defects
OF the present calendar, lively
interest in the methods by which
these can be overcome, and an in
teIligent understanding OF the pril.
eiples OF calendar reform.
Use Private CaIenders
''The actual experience OF many
business concerns with the use of
private simplified calendars to Sc.
cure more accurate accounting in
the business affairs. and their prac-
tically unanimous judgment in favor
of the general simplification of the
civil calendar
The Eastman committee expressed
the hope that an international con-
ference could be held in the near
future in order that an agreement
be reached by 1898. January /,
1888, falls on a Sunday. and that
would be the most convenient date
for change. 1t recommended. An
other such opportunity win not
occur until 1899. the report said.
Questionnajres sent out by the
committee brought replies from
more than 80 per cent favorable 20
a change in the calendar. with a
preponderence favoring the 1s-
month calendar.

. . BERKELEY, Cal. Dec. 24.-The
tennis queen of the universe was
referred to today as the former
Helen Wills, who successfully dis
appeared with her husabnd, Fred
erick Moody Jr., on their Christmas
honeymoon.
Although the couple had not re-
vealed plans for the first three
weeks of married life, close friends
predicted they would sail for a
lengthy cruise on yacht today.
The newlyweds slipped away
Monday afternoon, shortly after the
wedding in st. Clements chapel
here. Reporters seemed content to
accede to her request for a private
honeymoon"
Immediately after the marriage,
the bride and bridegroom rode Tor
several miles in the limousine OF
the tennis players parents. Then,
by prearrangement, they entered
garage where the former Miss Wills
had stored her own roadster and
sped away to the south.
In Los Angeles harbor, the forty
foot yacht, Galatea, rode at anchor,
provisioned for a long cruise. The
Galatea Is owned by Cyril Tobin,
close friend of young Moody. In
innate friends said the Galatea
would be away three weeks.
Helen Wills became Mrs, Moody,
in an extremely simple and informal
service during the noon hour. Even
the gold wedding ring was OF plain
design.
Moody, a young San Francisco
stock salesman, descended from one
of CALIFORNIA; oldest families, was
nonchalant when he walked from
the small chapel with his bride on
his arm.
The couple had been in the church
only sixteen minutes. They entered
by rear door, escaping throng of
newspaper photographers and chill
dren, who nearly had blocked the
front door when Moody's parents
entered.
Without nervousness they answered
questions of the Episcopalian service
in which the bride makes no men
