(9Aug.c) CURE STUTTERING BY PSYCHOLOGY New Plan Teaches Patients to Imitate Them- selves Los Angeles, July 17.--A psycho- logical method of curing stutterers, mainly by teaching them to imitate themselves, was reported here by Dr. Harry M. Chase, of the Univer- sity of California. Ten persons who completed a full eight-month course of treat- ment were discharged as '"com- pletely cured." Twenty other stut- terers who started taking the treatment at the same time either dropped out or have not yet fin- ished. The treatment consists of giv- ing the patient "negative practice" and of eliminating from his sphere of consciousness any social or vo- cational maladjustments that might have fostered the speech impedi- ment. ! Negative practice is the train- ing of a person to do voluntarily something that he ordinarily does only involuntarily. The patients, Dr. Case sald, were taught to stut- ter voluntarily. Avoid Habit That gave them the faculty for imitating themselves, and at the same time the power to refrain from imitating themselves, which meant the ability to avold the former "habit". The desire for & cure probably was a powerful factor, Dr. Case added. He said patients who did not return regularly for treatment were improved but not cured. "Speech blockers" -- persons who suddenly become unable to say any- thing before an audience, became worse when given the same treat- ment as the stutterers, Dr. Case reported. ; A successful treatment was evoly- ed, he sald, by having the patient engage in conversations and by gradually increasing the number of listeners until they equelized the size of the group before which the original blocking was experienced, (139b) | -- ! those with dependents. SALESLADIES | wanted for toiletry goods in Osh-'| Apply | JOB INSURANCE PLAN TO ASSIST HOST EMPLOYEES (Continued from Page 1) would be eligible for payment until nert spring. The. measure undertakes to pro- tect the normal standard of living of the wage earner, but in no case are the benefits as great as the normal weekly earnings. In the measure introduced by the Bennett Government in 1035, con- tributions had to be made for forty weeks in the two years preceding a claim before benefits were paid, or ten weeks longer than the pres- ent act. This means that benefits will be more easily and more quick. ly payable, The measure embodies the prin- ciple of graded rather than flat con- tributions and benefits.. Special rates for women and for different ages of men are not considered necessary under a graded scheme. Persons partially employed are dealt with automatically by the provision made for daily rates of contributions; gq contribution is pay- able for every day worked 4 Mr. McLarty argues that'this is a much simpler system than that used in 1035. Insured persons maintaining one or more dependent persons, are automatically entitled to a higher rate of benefit than any single per- son with no dependents. This does away with the need for investiga- tion to set. a scale for benefits to There is a limit to the time that benefits can be drawn. The worker is permitted to draw one payment for every five contributions made in the previous five years. less one payment for every three benefit | payments received In the previous three years. Covers Nearly Half Population Administration is to be by three Commissioners, one to represent employers and one labor. The chief Commissioner is to hold office for ten years and each of the others for five. It is believed that Tom Moore, president of the Trades and Labor Congress, will be one of the three Commissioners. It is estimated that by 1941 the scheme will cover 2,100,000 wage- earners. Young persons under 16 years of age cannot draw benefits but may accumulate benefit rights at no cost to themselves. Adding to the insured 040,000 adults and 1,620,000 child depend- ents, the Minister estimates that the cloak of insurance benefits covers 4,660,000 people, or nearly half the population of Canada. The Bank of Canada is to be the fiscal agent for the unemployment insurance fund. The Gevernment adds a grant of one-fifth of the ag- gregate contributions of employers and workers which will give a total estimated fund of - $78,400,000. Benefits, which are calculated on a complicated formula, are payable after nine days of unemployment and continue on the basis of "one payment for every five contributions made in the previous five years, less one payment for every three benefit payments received in the previous three years." For instance, a worker getting between $15 and $20 a week, the em- ployer contributes 27 cents a week. The worker will draw $8.16 benefits a week if single, or $0.60 a week if married with dependent, The employer's contribution ranges from 21 to 27 cents, accord- ing to the employee's wage group, while the contribution of the em- ployee ranges from 12 cenfs at the bottom to 36 cents at the top. Plan Advisory Committee An advisory committee of five to seven members, including represen- tatives of industry and labor, will assist the commission generally. An integral part of the whole scheme will he the organization of a Dominion Employment Servece by the commission. Regional offices will be used as a clearing house for vacancies, and applications for work and loans may be made to workers travelling to places where work has been found. A contributor will be disqualified from benefits under the scheme by: Loss' of work due to misconduct or a labor dispute in which he is directly involved; unwillingness to accept suitable employment; re. ceipt of an old-age pension; being an inmate of a public institution; or earning less than 90 cents a day while in employment. Persons under 16 years .or earn- ing'less than 90 cents in a full day cannot draw benefits, but may ac- cumulate benefit rights at no cost to themselves. In such cases the employer will contribute for the employee. Some of the excepted occupations may also be included in the scheme on the recommendation of the National Advisory Committee to be set up. In the case of those earning less than 90 cents a day or those under 16 years of age, the employer con- tributes 18 cents as his share and also contributes nine cents on be- half of his employee. The amount of daily or weekly benefit is thirty-four times the aver. age daily or weekly workman's con- tribution for insured persons with- out dependent and forty times the average 'contribution for married persons mainly or wholly maintain- ing one or more dependents. Under the bill the whole benefit Is related to the employment his- tory of the insured individual.. In 50 far as a man's future benefits are reduced by his past claims, he might be likely to proceed more cautiously in applying for benefit. He is also made aware that the more he works the greater his bene- fits in any period of unemployment, through regular contribuiions, 18 QUESTIONS To ANSWER ON FORM (Continued from Page 1) Do you speak English?

Tan MacKenzie, Minister of P>n- slons and National Health, advis- ed the House of Commons. Representations had been received from Ontario seeking the same federal assistance granted the Maritimes for air raid precautions and this would probably be grant- ed, the minister said. The possibility of "blood group- ing" citizens in Canadian areas. which might be considered vulner- able to enemy attack is being in- vestigated in departmental labora- tories, but no specific representa- tions had been made on this point, Mr. MacKenzie told the House. Conservative Leader Hanson re- ferred to arrangements made in England by blood groupings so that in particularly vulnerable areas there would always be a ready supply of blood for transfusions. ALASKA MADE DEFENSE BASE, WORK RUSHED Army and Navy Heads Fly via New Air Lines to Supervise Activity Juneau, Alaska, ouly 17.--Alaska, faraway northern territory, sudden- ly has entered another phase of its vivid history and become a lusty war baby. Until the German Army marched into Paris, Alaska was further re- moved from the nearest United States port, in transport time, than was Germany itself. Today it is 7 hours from Seattle, less than twenty-four hours from New York and Washington, over the aerial seaway just opened by Pan Ameri- can Airways' Alaska Clipper. The big 32-passenger, four gined flying boat, withdrawn from tht New York-Burmuda run, is making two round trips weekly be- tween Seattle, Ketchikan -and Juneau. At Juneau connections are meade with daily air services all over the territory. Over the Clipper route, until it is closed by the sub-arctic winter in mid-October, army and navy offi- cers and engineers are moving northward to supervise construc- tion of the tremendous fortifica- tions and defense works just auth- orized by Congress. Defense Network Drawn The two "bridges from Asia" which might make possible invasion of Alaska, Canada and the United States by way of the Aleutian Is- lands, from Russia by way of the Seward peninsula, are being pro- | tected by an effective series of rank submarine, air, naval and army bases. Northward also over the new sea airway are moving Americans and Canadians interested in the creation of one of the greatest highway pro- jects in the world's history, to con- nect the United States north through Western Canada and the Yukon with its rich and strategicai- ly vital territory of Alaska. The routes between Asia and Alaska, by which Russia used to administer the New World territory it finally sold for less than $8,000,- 000, are being closed presumably for all time, Simultaneously new routes by air and land are being opened southward to the United States over a turbulent topography that up to a few years ago seemed impossible to conquer. The sudden opening of Pan-Air's clipper service to Alaska represent ed an ingenious hurdle over ob- stacles which were delaying the opening of the long-projected com- mercial air connection, aad cut the four-day steamer route (used by 50,000 Americans last year) to seven hours. War Problem Faced Pan American lines for some time planned to fly non-stop land planes from Seattle to Alaska, been forced to wait completion of adequate airports in the difficult terrain of the sub-arctic end of the run, and has been further faced with the problem of flying commer- cially over a nation engaged in war -- Canada. Use of the big Sikorski flying boat solved both problems. The Alaska Clipper departs from and lands on the waters of Seattle. Ketchikan and Juneau, and neatly avoids the point of traversing wau- ring Canada by flying up the Pa- cific some ten miles offshore for the entire length of the Canadian toast. Even so, passengers are reguested not to attempt to take picture of the Cansdian coastal terrain from the portholes of the Clipper. Five major defense centres are under construction in Alaska, to em- ploy, as the work accelerates, hore than 5,000 men. The regular defense force of the territory, consisting principally of two companies at Chilcoot Barracks, Skagway, is being increased many- fold. The army will not reveal the eventual personnel figure, but ad- mits that & single transport recent- ly arrived at Anchorage from Se- attle with enoughgmen in the one move to triple Alaska's previous military strength, Three Navy, Two Army Bases Of the defense centres now un- der construction,-three are for the navy and two for the army. The navy's program consists of a $6,- 500,000 air base, plus army defenses at Kodiak; $2,600,000 air base at Sitka; $2,900,000 submarine base at Dutch Harbor, out on the eastern tip of the Aleutians. The army is working thre shifts daily to complete its $4,000,000 air training station at Fairbanks with- in a year. Primary purpose of the station is 'to dccustom American fliers to northern flying conditions. Largest Single military project in Alaska in' the army's great new base at Anchorage, for which $9,- 000,000 has been appropriated. All the suddenly intensified ac- tivity in Alaska is not American. "Asistic espionage is in evidence," an army officer said, smilingly, "but we know who our visitors are, en-' | of the route, blotk-houses in the form of first- | !Wenty-four feet -- what they're doing, and they don't] see much more than we want the, to. We even take a look ourselves once in a while; for in- stance, we are quite aware of wha Russia is doing 'secretly' on Dio- mede Island. Arctic Highway Pushed = | Topping the combined military and naval program in scope, how= ever, is the $50,000,000 Arctic high- way plan. This is a "triple threat", program intended to tie Alaska to] the mother country from 'a defense standpoint, to furnish a possible all- year artery for movement of the territory's $100,000,000 annual com- merce with the United States, and also as a magnet for tourists. "The road is needed for the simple and vital purpose of linking one part of the United States to another," said Governor Ernest Gruening. "It will serve commercial and military purposes, and from the| tourist's standpoint will in South- eastern Alaska traverse the most beautiful scenery in the North American continent." A meeting of the International Highway Commission, consisting of five Canadians and five Americans, is to be called soon by Representa- tive Warren G. Magnuson, chair- man, to decide the routing and the finemcing of the northern end. Representative Magnuson arrived | in Seattle June 28 from Washington, and planned to go on to Juneau in connection with the highway pro- ject. The road will be 2,200 miles if length, from Seattle to Fairbanks. The original estimated cost of $27,- 000,000 hess been raised to approxi- mately $55,000,000 by enlargement of the plan because of war conditions. Canada already has completed ap- proximately 1,000 miles of its section from the American boundary to Hazelton, B.C., 750 miles north of Vancouver. The road- way, when completed, will be wide and gravel surfaced. Canada has appropriated an addi- tionzl $50,000 for surveys north of Hazelton, while the United States has $16,000 available for its own surveys over a proportionately smaller link in Alaska proper. Next meeting of the commission, when called by Magnuson, will be' for the dual purpose of deciding upon the routing between Hazelton end Fairbanks, and for preparation of a formula for financing construce tion. The formula will be presented jointly to the Canadian House of Parliament and to the American Congress. Because of the large sec- tion already constructed by Cenada, and that nation's impaired financial position due to the war, it seems possible that the United States will be asked to advance all remsining funds and to cover Canada's share on a loan basis, | Alaska's huskily-built, energetic | governor, Dr. Gruening, former Bos- ton newspaper editor, is # driving force on the international commit tee, but have | Armstrong Fuels Coal - Coke - Wood PHONE 27271W OFFICE: 59 CHURCH ST.
