Self-Confidence Neede d To Overcome Stammering

By Herman N. Bundeaen. M. D. BECAUSE stammering or tuttaring can he an agonizing embarrassing handicap, much study has been devoted to its cause and Cure. Even ao. do< tor* are still unable to give one definite answer to the question of why certain Individual* aeent unable to apeak flowlngly. but must eternally trip and Muni bl< over certain syllables. Certain fact*, however, stand out altout the stutterer. He i* likely to he a MMf-consclous type of person, emotional, shy and sensitive. and it bi believed that he ia also sufferinx front one or other of the many kinds of fear Strangely enough, he rarely ha* trouble when be »inx». talk* in hi* sleep or to himself when alone Relaxation the Key All of these thing* hukk<-hI that relaxation is the key to treament and it has. to fart, h<>eu proved that when a feel lux of cabniiess ran be built up In the person who stutters, hl* atutlorlnx may disappear. It la important to build up the atammerer's golf-confidence. According to Or. P. Hondersoii of Ragland, the child or adult who atattern must be made to under rtand that he can lie cured only by bis own effort*, and that the physician or specialist in speech diritirimnce* can merely enco*trax< lint, \ , Conversation, word game* and hobbies may be used In the treat merit to help give the stammerer eeif-confid»n<e. if a child who atammer* has a severe emotional disturbance special treatment byi a specialist >n snch disorder* may; be necessary.

Decatur will join tbe crowd and participate In the outdoor events and Wyilam Stucky of Monroe, president of the usMx iatlon extends a hearty welcome to ail visitors. 0 0— William Helrc-ns, the 17 year old I college pervert, finally cracked un ; der the xtrnln of examination and police grilling and confessed to a series of heinous crimc-s. Including the killing of little Hillanne Ifegnan last January. Now lie cries for mercy. With justice, there must be mercy, but we don't See what good will result to the world in letting the young criminal • rape just punishment for such hideous crimes. o n Secretary Byrnes is one of the most forceful men In the world striving for |H-u<e among nations. Ills talk the other night convinced Americans that they have a great 1 leader In the- Secretary of Stateend that he is not afraid to express tin opinions. He said that United States and Gieat Britian were going ahead to conclude peace terms mid that Russia could join up. or play the bully. The might of America will be felt and there will be peace, o — ■ o-- — The country ha* arrived at the I imlnt where- it believes that Coni gres N should pass an enforceable ! Oj’A bill or quit talking about the i whole matter. The- attitude- xhown so tar is one of blocking legislative action, which has caused more confusion and price rising than necessary. Either have a law which safeguards the price control program, or drop the matter and let time iron out the troubles. Is what a lot of people say when discussing the present c-Pngress-tonal im ss. o o The census bureau has been counting heads again. It announces that the national family is getting bilge all the time. The 13.f'Oo.csm figure used so long tor the round-number population of the lulled State- is obselte. Call it I Ib.'iyo.itfm from now on, please. •Sime 1940 the country has gained alwiiit K"im.cmo persons, the bureau estimates, which nearly equals . the gain for th<- whole ten years between 1930 and 1940. It Is encouraging to know that Americans are on the Increase ami far from a dying lure. Th<».*e new citizens have 10l of work to do to help ’ straighten out the c urrent proj blent* here and abroad, and this ' wide and wealthy country has plenty of good land for them to live cm and develop.

It is suggested that treatment of the stammerer Im- given a leant twice a week and it may be helpful to treat several children in a group rather than each child alone. It may take several years ' to bring altout a cure and in more than one half of the cases the condition may recur. Other Disturbances Os course, there are speech disturbance other than stammering. One of these Js known as dyslaiia. In thi* (ouditioti the child is unable to properly pronounce the cuaaolnant, such a* 1. r, *. and z. One foim is lisping in which such letters as “a" and "z” are replaced by the sound ’'th”. A lisp may be due merely to negligence in teaching the child to talk properly It may lw due to some nervous disturbance and In MMtte cases to an abnormal condition of the jaw, the roof of the mouth or the teeth. Another form of dysialia Is .called lulling, lu this disorder the “I” sound I* substituted for *’r". This, too, I* due to about the same factors as lisping. Übuudalia refers to nasal speech. This may be due to weakness in the muscle* in the palate or roof of the mouth, the Mocking of the none by small tumors called polyps or by enlarged adnolds, Hornet lines even following the removal of the adnoids the nasal speech may remain because of weakness of the palate muscles. Special breathing exercises will help correct this condition. A child with speech difficulties lis teodteapped and every effort should be made to overcome them promptly.

Expects Russians Plan To Boomerang Reparations Demand To Cause Boomerang Washington. July 17— ll'P>Secretary of alate James F Byrnes expects Russia's recentlyannounced plan tor a strong" Germany Io boomerang because of Soviet insistence upon 31"""" uoo.om* of reparations from Germany, it was learned authoritatively today Byrnes did not mention the Soviet plan for Germany In his radio address Monday night. It was the plan submitted at the recent Paris foreign ministers meeting by foreign minister V. M. Molotov which opposed dividing or federalizing Germany and favored allowing German Industry to build itself up to higher levels than planned at present. Authoritative sources said Byrnes considered Molotov's statement on Germany as design ed for propaganda purposes in reeking support of the German people for Soviet policieg. But Byrnes was represented as feeling that if the Russians get away with their "propaganda" It would be one of the most remarkable achievements of modern times. These sources pointed out that while Molotov was making a bid with one hand for German sup port by appealing to German opposition to a divided or semi-agri-cultural Germany, with his other hand he was Insisting upon Germany's payment of glu.otm.mm.tmu In reparations to Russia. It was recalled that Premier Josef Stalin a year ago at Potsdam conceded that there was no justlfh-ation for an earlier RusHan demand for |IO.(MW,W»O.<M>(t in German reparations. It was agreed than that the basis of reparations should be percentage division of capital equipment rather than dollar value. Byrnes, at Parte earlier this month, countered Molotov's deirand with the charge that Russia already has taken an estimated <I4.oOU.OOO.tHMi worth of equip ment out of Germany. Tbe reparations Russia is seeking now in addition would be from future production. Byrnes will return to Paris next week for tbe 21 nation peace conference on Axis ' satellite treaties which opens July 29 in Paris' Luxeuiliourg palace. Sens. Tom Connally, D.. Tex., end Arthur H. Vandenberg. R. Mich, will go back to Paris only after tbe other nations have had a chance to make their reconi mendaiions and the big four begins to consider those amend meats.

The Journey Home I (ffi) POPKIN ■

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE AFTERWARDS, when be tried to recall the details, he was sure Im had passed through Loeb Lomond io nightmare. First there was wall-muffled cursing and scuttling and crashing and clanking that burnt into an orgasm of violent noise, as a door was flung open. A Head loomed before him, a livid lace, bulging eyes, corded throat making animal noises of strain. Shoulders blocked his path. He struck out with his list, beard it thud upon flesh, saw the eyes going glassy, the face fading green. He shoved with ins body to get the thing out of bls way. From behind, the blue-black of a pistol butt rose and descended. Hands reached from a room. The shoulders were pulled out of sight a door slammed; its lock rasped. An instinct faint through the shock anesthesia, tried to tell him this was the prisoner of war, that he had struck at his enemy, had helped to prevent a mad, futile attempt at a break. But be was only impatient because this had desayed him tn getting to Nina. Just as much as the curied, yellow toenails on the wax feel of a man who lay sprawled in tne aisle, flat on bis back. The passage was blocked. He had to step carefully around, over an outflung, rigid arm, and be was annoyed that no one had picked the man up. Yet a car full of passengers seemed quite unaware that a corpse lay in the aisle. People just sat there like statues, frozen in poses of staring They watched Corbett go by, yet no flutter of eyelids nor change of expression proved they had seen him. Their breath iced the windows, in that white cavern of Pullman, the aUcace was absolute awful. At the end of the car, be beard the whining and scratching of a terrified dog shut up la a room. He tan through Glen Argyle, it was the dream, the one where you run down an unending carpet atrip, seeking a person, a place, an escape, but the carpet goe* on and on, like a rubber baud, Ull you pant with exhaustion, cry with despair.

At last he camo to the small room at the end ot Glen Argyle. Ntoa atooi. at her basin, acrubbing her face, and ot all the fantastic sequence, that shocked him most. At such a time, she thought first ot her looks. She made a small startled out* cry when ahe saw his black, bloodied face in the mirror over hor washstand, a flutter/, todrawn "Oh." His snger flared. “What In Uuinder do you thing you’re doing?" She gestured with her washcloth. it plopped m the water. “Why, I'm washing my face. My face U dirty. That terrible soot. Oh, look at my hair. It’s a mesa!" The black wmgs lay flattened, dirt-dulled; the snood trailed in tom string, with ttxagglM of hate, down her back. Qae MwrhW was gone; there was a Cflnt ja her Jacket; her stockings vers ripped and dappled with blood. Exasperation curdled Ms anger. “You dumb wamen! You Idiots!” he touted and then, with that out of his system, be e*aed down and asked: "Are you hurt? 1 * ■’Hurtf WhF. why . . Z fihe gasped, The notion had reached
