All eclipses are consid- cred unfortunate, but I do not believe this one wil be unfor- tunate as Is usually the case. It may bring to light some things which have been held secret.

The monu- ment has become one of the numerous triangulation stations that the govern ment maintains throughout the country. From them distances, areas, etc., are measured. The Washington Monument is located at latitude 38 degrees, 53 minutes, 21.682 seconds and longitude v degrees, 02 minutes, 07.955 seconds. If we didn't have points like this even the boundaries of our states could be disputed, not to mention city and town limits.

Mr.. Parish admitted his figures
were guesses, and he said if the
committee would furnish him with
a complete financial setup of the
Citizens Gas CO.. he would have his
own engineers make exact estimates
Of the cost to the city Of taking over
the Citizens plant, and Of the prob
able cost of gas to all classes of
consumers.
Before he testified, Mr.. Parish
told The Indianapolis Times
chronologically how his Missouri

Co. came under control of Columbia
Gas and Electric Corp. and j. H.
Hillman.
1t had been his intention, he said,
to build the Panhandle Eastern Pipe
Line Corp, a gas pipe line extend
ing from the Texas Panhandle fields
900 miles to the Indiana Illinois
state line, through sale of common
stock Of Missouri Kansas.
This, he said, he was in a fair
way Of doing in 1880, when, he said
fulfillment of orders placed would
have brought in revenue enough to
complete the line and leave a SUBJ
stantial balance.
On June Il of that year, however,
according to Mr.. Parish, represen-
tatives of Christy Payne, an execu-
tive Of Standard Oil Co. New Jer-
sey), and Henry L. Doherty, presi-
dent of Cities Service Co., came to

Today Clinton H. Givan, attorney
for the Users Gas Co., whose back

that his firm still offered 35-cent
natural gas at the city gates, and

experimenting with spontaneous automatic
writing.
"Mr Skinner points out that the ordinary
reader cannot infer from this writing that tho
author possesses any consistent point OF view.
because there Is seldom, If any, intelligent ex-
preston Of opinion.

The poor man could only answer, II can't

This went on until he eventually did shut up
because his speech became inaudibe. This pa
tient was suffering from the mental disturbance
which sometimes follows an attack Of epidemic
encephalitis, or sleeping Sickness" as 1t Is
popularity called
Comparable to this palilalia Is pallogla, the
kind OF writing in which word or sentence Is
deliberately repeated in order to emphasize It,
Something like this but not the same, Is verbal
preservation in which the same word or phrase
is repeated not for the purpose Of emphasis,
but as though the original idea persisted in the
speakers mind for an undue length Of time,
keeping fresh ideas from entering Persevera-
ton, of course, Is not normal and is symptom
of mental disorder.
Sometimes patients afflicted with difficulty In
expressing themselves repeat the statement or
questions put to them, instead OF answering
or commenting. This is called echolalia.
Finally in the mental disease dementia prae-
cox the patient repeats the same sentence over
and over again The layman as well as the
physician recognizes this as the sign OF dis
ordered mind. The condition is known as
refrigeration.
It Is the automatic writing-writing whatever
comes to your fingertips without effort-that is
interesting in connection with Gertrude Stein
Automatic writing furnishes the scientist with
possible explanation for her bewildering, If
amusing, literary creations.
THE clue that led to this explanation seems
to have been contributed by one B. F.
Skinner. He unearthed the fact that Miss
Stein many years ago made a study OF auto
matte writing. She worked at Radcliffe College
under the famous psychologist, Prof. Hugo
Munsterberg, Mr.. Skinner reported in the
Atlantic Monthly. AS result of this work, Miss
Stein and a colleague. Leon M. Solomons wrote
a paper under the title, Normal Motor Autom-
atism," which was published in the Harvard
Psychological Review for September, 1896.
Miss Stein and her colleague eXperimented
on themselves to see how far they, two normal
people, could go in the path down which
patients with dsordered minds are forced by
their afflction. Presumably they hoped in this
way to learn more about the nature or cause
or processes of disordered minds
Put scientifically, they attempted to in
atism, undertaking to see how far they could
split their own personalities in deliberate
and purely artificial way"
To certain extent they were successful, Mr..
Skinner says. They got to the point where
they could perform many acts, such as writing
or talking aloud, in an automatic manner
while carrying on some other activity in the
same time
Spontaneous automatic writing became easy
after little practice, Miss Stein reported. Did
it become SO easy that it became habit,
that she came to prefer it to other more
laborious ways of writing? She herself denies
that her present writing is automatic, but to

her work.
"POpcock Is popcock Is science Is popcock."
Miss Stein might have been expected TO say.
But she did not according to the report. For
once she failed TO repeat herself or to bewilder
her hearers.
The scientific explanation is that her writing
Is done more with her wrist than with her mind.
Automatic writing is the scientific term for It.
Miss Stein not only disagrees, but takes the
view that her writing does not need explaining.
II you have seen her play, -Four Saints In
Three Acts" or have read any Of her other
strange writings, you probably feel that she
needs as much explaining as that other famous
-Einstein-who also draws capacity
crowd, but whom hardly any one in the audi
ence understands.
In giving the scientific explanation for Miss
STEMS literary productions, the editor of the
Journal of the American Medical Association
starts with question that has undoubtedly
occurred to you as you read her work.
Reduced to everyday speech, he asks, is she
kidding" her readers or is her stuff just
"nerts"?
He points out that her type Of writing Is
familiar to pSychiatrists as one symptom of GER
tain mental disorders. This makes him wonder
whether 1.-The literary abnormali lities in which she
indulges represent correlated distortions of the
intellect or whether the entire performance is in
the nature of a hoax and that Miss Stein pro-
duces her literary efusons with her tongue In
her cheek"
TAKING for granted that she is not writing
with her tongue in her cheek. what kind of
mental distortion "nuttinesS is she in
dulging in and why does she write that way?
Scientists have number of long words to
describe the way people with diSorderd minds
sometimes write and talk-the way which is
similar to Miss Stems writings. Automatic
writng-apparently letting the hand do the
work instead of the minds of these psy-
Geological terms. Palilalia, perseveration and
refrigeration are others.
"Palilalia," explains the editor of the medical
journal "is form of speech disorder in which
;he patient repeats many times word phrase
or sentence which he has Just uttered. In
addition, the speech tends to be uttered more
and more quickly and less distinctly"
He gives as an example of this the case of a
man at a movie who found himself reading
aloud the captions of the films over and over
again. In the days of silent pictures this
seemed to be a fairly common affliction, but
the people who may have annoyed you in this
way were probably not all suffering from pal
Italia. The man in this could not STOP
His wife who was with him became annoyed
and told him to shut up."

the average reader, and apparently to the SCI
enlist, it seems more automatic than anything
else. In her report she said Of this kind OF
writing:
"A phrase would get into the head and keep
repeating itself at every opportunity and hang
over from day to day even. The stuff written
was grammatical, and the words and phrases
fitted together all right, but there was not
much connected thought. The Inconsistencies
was broken into every six or seven words by
flashes Of consciousness, so that one cannot be
sure but what the slight element Of connected
thought which occasionally appeared was due
to these flashes Of consciousness. But the
ability to write stuff . that sounds all right.
without consciousness was fairly well demon
strated by the experiments"

mind, you might like to re-read some
of her writings like the sample from wherein
