@. Does stammering occur more
frequently in certain countries than
in others?-A L. K.
A. Stammering is proved to be
widespread in Germany, Great Brit
ain and its colonies and the United
States, and uncommon in Italy and
Spain. For this reason the theory
has been advanced that languages
of Teutonic origin are more apt to
generate it than languages of Latin
origin.

A. This was a square piece of
wood, brass or bone about inches
long, which might be either hung

England by the Danes.

tic effort to gang up" on him.
1t is not easy for any man to take
this sort of stuff for three weeks
and then face $50 newspapermer
eager to cross-examine him as en-
barrassingly as possible. Mr.. Tru-
mans predecessor had no such ex-
perience. In the first place, he hao
built up a. large and protective fol.
lowing which, with his supporting
press, eondoned everything he did
In the second place, it was a settled
Roosevelt policy to denounce al
critical newspapers as sordid, sin
lister and mendacious. This same
Honest Harold" Ickes, often called
Mr.. Roosevelt's "hatchet man." was
the favorite instrument chosen fol-
this kind of assault.
Skilled in Handling.
Also, Mr.. Roosevelt had a skill In
the handling of press conferences
such as Mr.. Truman has not de-
veloped. For one thing, he had q
good many newspapermen afraid
of him. Instead of answering a
question, he would tell the ques-
toner that he was silly, or sug-
gest to him to put a Ounce cap on
or present him with an iron cross
For another, he used the planted
question with great effect in en-
barrassing situations. For another
he was not at all scrupulous in his
resort to weapons of reprisal, OF
which he had many. For another, he
was not good tempered under
pointed questions.
The contrast between Mr.. Roose.
welt and Mr.. Truman in their han
ding of themselves at news confer
ences is great. Mr.. Truman uses
almost none of the methods which
Mr.. Roosevelt so adroitly used. Last
week he could have employed some
of them effectively-if he had beer
