Artificial Larynx
Restores Speech to
Aged Helena Man

Science, primarily concerned with
material things, has demonstrated that
its achievements can be measured in
terms Of human service. AS q result
Anthony Kratley, II, of Helena, who
had not spoken since 1927, when his
larynx was removed by an operation,
will soon have the power of speech
restored to him through use of an arti-
fetal larynx, demonstrated in Helena
recently by Sergius P. Grace, vice
president OF the Bell Laboratories, Inc,
of New York City, in a lecture.
Mr.. Kratley, who was once a miner
and later employe of the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, was introduced to Mr.. Grace by
c. j. Herman Of the telephone firms
engineering department. Mr.. Grace
showed him how to use the artificial
larynx and, after a few trials, Mr..
Kratley demonstrated that he could,
with practice, carry on a conversation
The aged man, who had not hoped ever
to speak again. was overioyed.
A telephone message from MI. Grace
to Fred H. Reid of Denver, president
of the Mountain States company,
brought assurance that Mr.. Kratley
would be supplied with one of the in
struments. MI. Reid communicated
with the Bell Laboratories in New York
and an artificial larynx is now on the
way. The devices cannot be sold, but
will be loaned to Mr.. Kratley for an
indefinite period. 1t Is the second 50

With no bedding and with little food
they endured many hardships before
they finally got back to Deer Lodge.
Years afterward Mr.. Young say an
account in a Great Falls paper about
some supposed cache made in the early

took u his eye. Then a camp-tend-
er who had been working near there
and was also in the room, gravely
rolled up his trouser leg and unfastened
a patent cork leg. The Indians be-
came more uneasy at each demonstra-
ton of removable parts.
AS fortune would have it, Just as
the Indians, who did not tarry long,
were starting to leave, an eclipse of
the sun which was visible in Montana
that year, which Mr.. Young recalls
as either in 1878 or 1879, began to cast
its shadow upon the earth. Uttering
yells of dismay, the chief and the
sQuaws hurried away from the hotel.
Evidently, they connected the eclipse
in ONE way with the terrifying sight
of persons laying aside parts of their
anatomy.
