Virginia Loewe Leads
Formation of Club
at Fisher YMCA
BY DON GILLIES

It was just a month ago today
that Virginia Loewe walked into
the Fisher YMCA and told activi-
ties secretary William O'Neill that
she headed a small group of young
women interested in marksman-
ship.
"We've been reading about the
Detroit Times-Hearst rifle
matches and we too would like
TO become efficient In the use of
Firearms" she told O'Neill.
O'Neill obligingly offered their
range facilities. Monday night was
set aside strictly for women.
Walter Long. one Of the country'S
greatest markSmen, previously had
offered his services to instruct be-
ginnerS in the art of rifle shooting.
He was sent to the range as chief

found out what the trouble was.
It seems that the girls mother had died
when this girl was only 13 years old. Before
her death the mother had told the daughter of
her own disappointment in marriage and had
warned against boys and against marriage.
The mother predicted the dire things which
might happen. Her words were impressed on
the daughter so strongly that seven years
later, when she fell in love, the unfortunate
girl was placed in a dilemma.
After first hypnotizing her by subterfuge
Dr. Erickson was able TO take the girl through
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-09-20

Erickson realized the subject could not be
hypnotized if she knew what was happening.
One day the two girls went to DR.. Erickson
so that the friend could be hypnotized. They
were seated side by side and DR.. Erickson
shortly had the friend in deep trance. He
directed all his remarks and directions to the
friend but said them in way that would
make the other girl think they were directed
at her. too, as they indeed were.
After an hour and half session the
troubled girl. as well as her friend, was in
trance. Then, by questioning, Dr. Erickson

A NCIENT rulers used 10 pay kings
ransom" TO alchemists searching for
the elixir of life and the fountain of
youth. but scientists Of medieval days never
found that treasure Of human knowledge.
Yet modern medicine now has found a way
to produce a mental fountain of youth by
turning back the minds Of grown men and
women into those of little boys and girls and
making them recall and relive the long forgot
ten days Of their youth.
Under the spell of hypnotic trance doctors
Aare now able to take you back TO your child
Yhood-to age eight or ten or any other year
they may select-and thereby discover the
explanation of a bad case Of filters, or some
strange dislike for certain foods, or a fear of
cats and even much more serious mental ills
that slowly drive people crazy.
One Of the thrills Of the old-tme vaudeville
stage the "hyp" act with the sinister
looking hypnotist working his spell on &C
completes planted in the audience. Such acts
threw the art Of hypnotism into widely de-
served disrepute.
But now hypnotism is making comeback
in medical circles as a powerful tool to ex-
plore the human mind and reveal unconscious
thoughts which people never realize they have
in their normal waking moments.
One Of the nations greatest medical hyp-
notists recently explained TO The American
Weekly some of the new feats by which hyp-
notism can do good and restore mentally
twisted minds TO society.
That man is DR.. Milton Erickson, PSYCHE
artist of Elose Hospital, Eloise, Michigan.
Speaking at the recent meetings of the
American Psychiatric Association at Boston,
DR.. Erickson told how crimes be solved
by the art of hypnotism. And how she'll
shocked soldiers can recover from their am
nesias by reconstructing, while in a hypnotic
trance, the events which led up to the mental
blackouts in their memory patterns.
DR.. Erickson said he once was able to
solve a gangster crime by hypnotism.
The victim, obviously taken "for a ride"
wound up in the hospital totally unable to tell
what had happened to him, where he had
been,- when the attack on his life had
occurred
Under hypnotic trance DR.. Erickson was
able to take him back to the days Just before
the crime and have him tell the argument he
had entered into, how he had been given a
Mickey Finn" that only partially put him out
how he had been taken for the ride, beaten
and left for dead.
Every detail of the assault could be OBJ
tanned from the victim except for the short
period when he was totally unconscious from
a blow on the head.
The hypnotic evidence had no legal stand
ing in court but IL did lead the police to the
gangster culprits. They were picked up, put
through third degree confessed to the as

people without their knowing about it.
1t was in this way that DR.. Erickson was able
to cure a girl of her fear Of marrying the man
she really loved
This girl was in love, all right, but always
became sick when her fance talked seriously
about getting married In this depressed state
she could not even talk to doctor about the
man without becoming violently ILL.,
Finally II was decided 10 try hypnotism
and see what might have happened back in
her youth which could make her this way Her

sault and were convicted all through the
power Of hypnotism.
One Of the classic references to hypnotism
in literature is De Maurier's story OF Svengali
and Trilby and how the girl Trilby-while in
a hypnotic trance-could sing like an opera
star even though she could not even carry
a tune in real life.
Scientists say this is better fiction than
science. While hypnotic suggestion might
overcome cases of stage fright it could not
put into Trilbys throat the trained vocal
cords of an operate star. Hypnotism may
help remove mental stumbling blocks. but it
cannot overcome anatomical difficulties of
unframed vocal cords.
However, cases like the fictional Trilbys
have really happened In April 1910, The
American Weekly carried the signed story of
Mariana Persall who called herself modern
Trilby because she was haunted by hypnotist
after his death. Mariana shown on this page,
had worked in "hyp" act on the stage and
after her vaudeville "Svengali" had died she
claimed he returned TO her in dreams and
gave her no rest.
