Among the unusual dlSCruD-
ances that may affect the
mental faculties "aphasia"
holds first place.
Aphasia means, technically,
an impairment Of the powers
of speech, or their complete
loss. Memory may or may not
be interferred with, but the
patient finds himself unable
to express the memory ideas
or pictures that are stored in
his mind.
Aphasia often occurs sud-
denly and Unexpectedly. Such
a victim may be able to say
only "yes" and no." although
there is much more that he
would like to say. 1t is not
unusual in such cases for the
patient to become eXaSperated
because, try as he will, he
cannot control the movements
of his tongue and general
speech apparatus so as to be
able to talk.
There are really several va
rieties of aphaSia and to un-
derStand them involves a thor
ough knowledge of a most COM
plicated subject-the organic
nervous system. For aphasia is
produced by an organic dis
turbance as a rule, in other
words, a physical change in
the nerves that have to do
with speech ability.
In such organic cases it
may be disease that is to
blame, a deficient blood sup
ply, or injury. AS to purely
mental causeS-that is, func-
tional defects which % do not
involve organic Structure-the
explanation of the psychology
responsible is even more COM
plicated than the explanation
of the organic causes.
Aphasia is frequently an &C
compartment of what is gen
orally designated as a "Stroke. !"
Aside from the paralysis of one
or more limbs, the patient is
unable to utter ineligible
words. Hemorrhage into the
brain tissues, in the region
where the nerves of speech are
located, is often the cause,
Usually such a patient gradu-
ally RECEIVERS the powers of
speech as the blood clot is
slowly absorbed. Such a condi-
ton may, nevertheless, be per-
manent.
Specialists classify aphasia
into SenSory and motor tyleS.
In the former the understand
ing of words seen or heard is
lost. In the latter this ability
is not impaired, but the actual
act of talking is interfered
with.
Although aphasia deals pri-
marily with the speech center
in the brain, the writing CEN
ter may likewise be disturbed.
This is because the nerves con-
cerned with ability to write are
close to those that have to do
with speech-both, by the way,
on the left side of the brain
and not on the right.
Auditory aphasia also exists.
In such cases the individuals

Shall She Wait for Him?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been engaged for the
past two years, although I have
never believed in long engage
ments. But considering this de-
preston, it has been impossible
for us to marry. My fiance has
been out of work for a year,
and I, too, am out of work.
We live in different cities.
I'm at home, and it is impos-
Sible for him to come here
often. While he was working,
he took me wherever I wanted
to go, but now I am so tired Of
waiting for him, and my
parents often tell me I should
break with him.
Do you think it would be the
right thing to do, after he has
been very good to me up to
now? Or should I break with
him for a while, as I hate these
long engagements? I have
often felt lately like breaking
with him, as there is no future
ahead of us. Or should I SIM
ply wait, until things get bet
ter, as he is all right in every
other way?
UNDERWRITING.
I'm afraid you don't love this
young man enough to marry
him, or the waiting would not
seem such a trial to you. Hun
dreds of thousands of girls all
over the world are in your posi-
ton exactly. Their fianceS are
without work and they are un-
able to marry. But if people
love each other sufficiently,

Etiquette
Problem
Contrary to Convention
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


I am writing to you for your
decision. We are five married
couples and we get together
about once a month at some
ones house for a good time. But
when it comes to dancing, some
of the men have to be asked. I
want to know if it is correct for
the ladies to ask them to dance?
A says it isn't, but I think it is
all right because we know each
other very we'll. A
What lazy husbands. I'm
afraid they are feeling the de-
preston! Now that Leap Year
is over, perhaps they will mend
their ways, and do their social
duty by asking the ladies to
dance, and not have to be urged
in this contrary-to-convention
manner. I agree with A, that
it's out of order for the ladies to
take the initiative about this in
vitation.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please give me some
advice about colors for babies?
In what color should a baby
boy be dressed. in pink or in
blue? w.
There never has been a defin-
ite assignment of these colors.
But usually, it is con-
sidered that pink is for girls
and blue for boys. However,
nowadays all-white is so popu-
lar that this question of
whether pink or blue is not so
important as it used to be.

A Brides Bitter Experience
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have a very serious problem
on my hands. I have been mar
ried only a short time and am
devoted to my husband, but he
has a very bad habit of drink
ing. He is unemployed and I
am the only one working. I
come home evenings and find
him in bed drunk, and my home
is all torn and in confusion. I
make only enough to get by on,
and every cent my husband gets
he spends on whiskey. I try to
please him in every way, and
I'm afraid my love will turn to
hatred. When he gets sober he
asks me to forgive him and
naturally, because I love him, I
do.
BETTY.
The habit Of a man who
drinks as your husband is doing
is very hard to break. It takes
more character and backbone
than falls to the lots of many
people. I should tell him just
as you have told me, that you
are becoming disgusted, and
that you're afraid your love will
turn to hatred. This may in.
duce him to quit drinking. If
it does not, you may have to
take more positive measures.
Write me again and let me
know how he is getting along.

HOLDING BACK AT NO

ONE OF THE most impor-

only one opponent is to be

To Venture


To Venture
To venture; this is all Of life,
To brave the conflict and the
strife,
To go undaunted, though with
fear
At heel forever, drawing near,
To test, to seek, though doubts
are born
That all the quest must be for
lorn.
To venture always, not to quail
Before the dread that means to
fall;
To press ahead with lifted gaze
That finds, beyond the mo-
ment's maze,
The golden hope which, like the
sun,
Gives life to all it shines upon.
To venture into unknown seas,
To spurn the charted ways Of
ease,
To thrill with purpose to explore
The deeps no ship has sailed be-
fore;
This, this is life, and this alone
Bring joys the greatest souls
have known.

Farmers Receive
Cotton Payments

Six thousands dollars may not
seem like much after six millions
granted for the All-American ca
nal, but still cash in hand is not to
be despised, according to 81 val
ley farmers who have received
checks from the U. S. treasury to
the total amount of $5,995.67.
These checks were sent to cot
ton producers for a cotton reduc-
ton in which approximately 500
acres were destroyed. Two more
farmers are yet to receive checks
since 33 participated in this plan.
The checks were sent to Frank
Beyschlag, Tarrr advisor, who is
distributing them to growers to-
day.
