LIGHTS SWING, FAIRBANKS

The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-10-23

The most serious quake damage appeared to be the odd Fellows Hall, ! three story concrete building which is occupied on the ground floor by the Anchorage Times. Three other down town windows were cracked and several bottles of liquor were lost by one liquor store through breakage, the bottles being shaken from the shelves.
 The Empress theatre was crowded and about half of those in the audi ence walked out orderly, no pushing and no screaming when the quake was at its height. When the earth movement was over, the patrons of the theatre returned for the finish of the movie show.
 Lesser tremors were felt through out the night with especially notice able ones at 10:20 and l0:45 with two others this morning, at 5:27 and 6:25 o'clock.

HELP EXTENDED
 TO SUFFERERS
Attention Must Be Di- verted From Speech De-
 feet Says Doctor

Des Moines, Ia, March 6 (UP)-- If attention of a stuttering person be diverted from his speech defect, he can be made to talk like any normal person.
 Seven years of painstaking effort have proved this fact to pr. E. C.. Lockhart, professor of psychology at Drake University, and special ist in curing sufferers.
 Let stuttering person hold chair over his head or do anything else that will require concentra- ton, the doctor asserted, and he'll repeat any statement without hesi- tation. The essence of the theory is the overcoming of psychological inhibition"
 Test Put to Proof.
 Lockhart performed an experi- ment on Q confirmed stutterer to demonstrate the success of his remedy. A 27-year- man, unable to speak normally since he was 8 was asked to repeat the sentence, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party" The man required three minutes to stammer through the time-worn sentence.
 Now lift this chair over your head" said Lockhart. This done, the man was told to repeat the sentence. He repeated 1t without the slightest hestitation in a few seconds. After replacing the 40- pound chair on the floor, the man again fell back to stuttering.
 The subject stuttered simply be- cause he thought he would, the psychologist explained.
 ''The trouble actually is much more complicated than that" he added, but his mental state or be- lief is the direct cause. By center ing his attention on the chair, the man took care not to drop it and at the same time forgot his speech impeachment. A chair or any other device used in this fashion will remedy at least 90 per cent of the cases of stuttering."
 Affects Only Mental Cases.
 Lockhart said his remedy dealt only with cases of mental inhibit- ion. In cases where stammering is caused by a tumor, hemorrhage or physical harm, the speech centers are affected and cannot be cured by mental means. He said these cases represented only about 10 per cent of the total number of stut- tering persons.

sanatorium. The relative was de- voted to the child, and was It's con- stant companion.
 Careful Study
 Taken to the sanatorium, the baby showed signs of definite im- provement after month of careful treatment and is today on the road to complete recovery, thanks to the work of the local league in it's time ly discovery of the disease and it's insistence that the child be im- mediately given sanatorium atten- ton.
 League officials state that what Is needed primarily is not new measures, but a fuller application of the present knowledge. There is nothing new, they declare, in the treatment, care, and prevention of tuberculosis in very young chil- dren.
 Children and babies should be kept away from tuberculosis case. All children and babies who have been exposed to the disease should have the benefit of the tuberculin test and x-ray of the chest and should be carefully watched by physician for several years.
 Danger Point
 The danger, 1t is pointed out, lies in the insidious development of the disease. In general, its inception Is described as follows:
 At an early age, the tubercle bacili enter the lung. At once, the body cells begin to surround the germs, finally succeeding in build ing 0 wal or capsule around the tubercule bacilli and 50 imprison them. This is called "tubercle".
 The first protective response of the body cells, is however, slow: too slow in some cases to prevent some of the tubercle bacili from es- caping from the first tubercle and spreading to other parts of the

Active cases of tuberculosis in babies are rare, though by no means unheard of, according to officials of the Waterbury Anti-Tuberculosis league. Babies do not, contrary to popular belief, inherit" the disease, but are susceptible in equal degree to adults.
 The case of Q local youngster admitted to the Undercliff sana- torium at Meriden last year is cited as an example. When less than three years old, the baby contract ed the disease, evidently from a relative who visited the parents while awaiting admission to the
