Child That "Stammers"
Victim Of Nervousn~s

The most usual form Of speech dis
order is "stammering," or Suffering" !"
From the standpoint of development
there are two distinct types, one
which commences with the develop
ment OF speech and the other that
begins after the child has learned to
speak normally. The first form is the
more difficult to correct.
The underlying cause Of stammer.
ing Is purely mental. 1t is essentially
due to emotional disturbance, and i'm
plies lessened ability to meet a diff
cult situation. 1t is most frequently
observed in so-called nervous. highly.
strung children. AS these children
grow older they subconsciously fear
that their speech organs will refuse
to work and have the horror Of being
the object Of ridicule. A sense of
inferiority develops, establishing a VI
cious circle-the greater the dread the
more imperfect their speech.
According to some observers, STAN
mering is more or less common among
left-handed children when they are
taught to become right-handed writers.
This opinion is largely responsible for
the objection to educators attempting
to train left-handed children to be-
come right-handed. It is also believed
to be more common among boys than
girls.-Health News.

Home of Francis Drake
In Small English Town

One of the rooms in the oldest house
at Staines England, the Knowle.
where Sir Francis Drake lived for
time, has been stripped of some
valuable wallpaper, which has been
sold to London antiques dealer This
paper, hand-painted with Chinese pic
lures, was prepared about 1870 by a
famous Chinese artist, who came from
Shanghai. Its removal from the wall
involved long and anxious process.
After being dampened the paper was
backed to prevent mishap and then
carefully peeled. Owing to cold wealth
er the process was intermittent, and
some days were spent before the pa
per was finally removed. The Knowle
was for centuries in the possession of
the Pellet family. 1t is a curiously-
built house, almost surrounded by a
low corridor, suggestive Of a ships
alleyways, though the original archi-
lecture has been affected by later adj
ditions to the building. Sir Francis
Drake, like other distinguished sail
ors, seems to have been a great lover
of dogs, and placed tablets on the
walls recording the loss of some OF
his pets.

Defenders of Jerusalem
Worthy of Their Race

When Titus, son of Vespasian, sol
dier, emperor of Rome, after long
and exasperating siege, took Jerusa-
lem, Mount Zion held out last of all
against the legions. In spite of the
efforts of Titus to save the splendid
temple Herod had rebuilt and beauti-
fled, some recreant flung flaming
torches into it and caused its utter
destruction.
1t seemed as though with it all hope
of preserving their nation had van.
ished, and the remnant of the Jewish
defenders of their city hurried across
the bridge over the Tysopaeon gorge
between Zion and Moriah, into the old
city Of David and the ancient palace
of their kings, where they put up a
fierce resistance to the Romans until
the last man was slain or wounded,
and the buildings David had built.
and others had added to, had fallen
in ruins about them.

Diesel Engine

During the last decade of the Nine
teenth century DR.. Rudolf Diesel of
Leipzig brought out an internal com
bustion engine which involved in its
operation principle that had never
before been applied in practical me-
chancs. Doctor Diesel understood the
value of high compression and con.
ceived the idea of mixing the fuel and
air at the very moment when power
is needed for the working stroke. He
came to the conclusion that cheap,
lowgrade oils could be utilized as fuel
if introduced into highly heated
charge of compressed air at the prop
er time. He enlisted the aid of manu-
facturers and after some experimental
tion brought out the most economical
heat engine that had ever been pro-
duced.

in OLD SCHEME
Child Bureau Foes Again
Attempt Its Dismantling

Washington.-An attempt to dis
mantle the United States Children's
Bureau, by turning infancy care and
administration of maternity over to
the United States Public Health
Service, was made at the conference
on child health, called by the presi-
dent
The old scheme of hampering useful
bureaus failed. Miss Grace Abbott,
chief of the children's bureau, made
brave single-handed fight in the COM
mittee. 1t was carried to the floor
of the conference, where Miss Abbott
received such unexpected support that
the divisionists postponed decision.
Opponents included trade unionists,
women's organizations and Secretary
of Labor Davis. The latter reminded
the conference of the stats of spe-
cialists and scientists who have been
assembled by the children's bureau.
The children's bureau, as now con-
Quoted, tells the country the effect of
low wages received by bread win
ners, and why this forces children
into industry. The bureaus investi-
cations are not welcomed by child
labor exploiters, who resent having
the nation continually reminded of
the evils of child labor and the harm
that follows low wages to adults.
If the work of the children's bu-
reau can be divided with the public
health service, there will be less of
this information, as medical men are
not economists.

Dropped Into Sea Lingo

Here is story about Nantucket
Quakeress who was very superior
feeling person. On visit to New
Bedford the young woman was invited
to tea party and expressed a fer
vent hope that she would not use any
sea phrase while there.
Keeping a close watch upon her
words she got on all right until, as
they started to leave the table, a man
away up at the far end asked her how
her father was doing. Every face was
turned to her and every ear listening
for word Of the sick man.
Flustered by having the attention so
suddenly focused on herself, she said !:
THANK thee, but he rather goes a.
stern" Then she was overcome with
confusion, for she had lapsed into the
sea lingo she had determined to avoid.
