How To Deal With
Child's Speech Defect
BY DOROTHY v. wHIPPLE, M. o.
AP Neuusfea4nran

BY DOROTHY v. WHIPPLE, M. D.
AP Newsfeatures
What is speech defect? And
when is it serious?
No baby speaks clearly and we
certainly do not consider the early
mispronounciations a defect But
by the age of 5 a child should:
Speak distinctly.
Make his meaning clear.
Speak with voice that is pleas
ant to hear.
If your child falls short of this
standard he may have a speech
defect that needs attention.
But the things that might be
wrong are many. Some are simple
and of no great significance, some
are more serious. But even the
simple ones are better off treated.
It's hard on anyone to go through
life not quite able to get his mean
ing clearly across to others. Even
if the defect is not that serious an
unpleasant popularity in speech
can be handicap. Treatment of
speech defects is more successful in
childhood Grown people have to
work harder to overcome their
speech peculiarities.
Basic Causes
Only about 20 per cent, of all
speech defects are due to faulty
structure in the child. Such con-
ditions as cleft palate and cerebral
palsy and loss of hearing do inter
fere with normal speech, but the
vast number of speech defects grow
out of the things that happen in the
life of the child, things that infiu-
ence his personality and the way
he looks and thinks about the
world in which helives.
The most common defect among
young children is faulty articula-
ton, the child does not use his
tongue, lips and jaw to the best
advantage.
No child is born with the ability
to start right off talking correctly.
All children mispronounce many
words, but as they get older and
hear correct speech they gradually
improve their own diction. 1t is
normal for a 2-year-old to "frow"
a ball but a 5-year-o1d should
throw" it. Two-year-olds have
"muvvers, but 5-year-olds should
have mothers"
"R" is a troublesome sound. Lit
tie folks often eat 'wolls" instead

Italian Prime Minister and
Mrs. Segni started their day
by paying homage to the
American war dead at Arl-
lington Cemetery this morn
ing.
Mrs. Segni, with tears in
her eyes, watched her hus-
band stand at the foot of
the long marbled steps lead
ing to the Tomb of the I'm
knowns.
The Italian National An-
them was played. The party
slowly mounted the steps to
the tomb as the sun broke
through the low hanging
clouds, casting deep shadows
on the solemn area of the
Virginia countryside.
They stood at attention
before the great American
war memorial as the Star
Spangled Banner was played.
Deeply Moved
Again Mrs. Segni showed
deep emotion with her eyes
downcast as her husband laid
the wreath and taps were
played.
AS they left the Amphi-
theater the Prime Minister
asked that the grave of
Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles be pointed out to
him.
Mrs. Segni took her own
course along the Virginia
countryside while the Prime
Minister returned to the
State Department. The sun
was shining brightly as she
drove down to Mount Vernon
and the place where George
Washington lived. Mrs. Segni
had said she wanted to see
the countryside "as I hear it
is so beautiful in October"
She was accompanied by
Mrs. Brosio, wife of the
Italian Ambassador; Mrs.
Sydney Mellen, her State
Department interpreter, and
Deputy Chief of Protocol
Clement Conger.
The Prime Minister'S wife
was greeted at the doorway
of the Washington home by
Mr.. Walter Densmore. as
sistant director of Mount
Vernon.
Mrs. Segni walked through
Mount Vernon just as any
other tourist.
At one point she became
the center of attention as
SquealS came from a group
of children from the Oak
Ridge Elementary School in
Arlington.
HOusewifely Interest
The Prime Minister'S wife
showed a housewifely inter-
est in the Washington place
by animatedly asking quest
tions about the cookhouse
and the laundry.
Mrs. Segni particularly
asked about the water in
the well. When the bucket
pulling process was explained
to her, she exclaimed with a
laugh that it was the same

in her homeland, the little
Island of Sardinia

Martha Washington.
The party was then quick
ly escorted back to Alex
andria through the old Sec
ton of the city to the large
Giant food store in North
Alexandria.
Mrs. Segni, again showing
her lively interest, admired
the display of fresh vege-
tables. She expressed special

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Amazing Loan Repayment Record
N SYLVIA PORTER

You probably take for
granted that during the 1858
slump many jobless were COM
PEELED to default on their bank
installment loans.
It's a logical assumption. How
could an automobile worker out
Of a job for a protracted period
and dependent on unemplcy-
ment benefits support his fam
lily and keep up the monthly
payments on his mortgage and
ihstallment loans? How could
his bank carry him month after
month even If the banks man
ayers were sympathetic and
wanted to?
Logical though this reason
ing is. If this has been cur
assumption. you have been
spectacularly wrong. The Chi
cago Federal Reserve Bank has
just completed a study of the
record CT consumer loan repay
ments during the 1878 recess
sion in its district-covering
parts of deeply depressed Mich
igan. Indiana, Illinois, W:scon-
sin and all of Iowa. Here is
what 1t shows.
In this heart of the indus
trial midwest gross bank losses
on consumer loans in 1858
amounted to only one-third of
/ per cent. and for 1878
the net loss rate was under
two-tenths OF l per cent or
under 5000 per 100000 of
loans. Even the Chicago Fed
eral Reserve. which like all Fed
eral Reserve Banks shrinks
from making unqualified state
ments, says, These rates are
exceedingly low for this type
of lending"
What does this record sug-
gest?
II you wish to be cynical, you
might say that the reason the
banks record was so good was
that the banks had screened
The loans so rigidly in the first
place that they had only top
notch risks.
Or you might suggest that
lots OF the losses were hidden
because on auto loans which
-'rnt bad. dealers may have
had arrangements under which
they were obligated 10 pay the
bank the full balance due.
And no doubt these explana-
tons did play part in the per-
Torrance. Certainly banks
which had no losses at all had
too good a record; they OBJ
