B TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER y*«ng Artist Who Offers Self for E» l^jpriwent Is Later Relieved of ".'Y.i Transferied Malady by Moans of Hypnotism. Paris.--A strange care, of a psychic feature, has Just been achieved before It number of doctors and a few experimenters along the lines of psychiatry. The patient was a young woman of hysterical tendency, who for seven years bad been possessed with an antitotigious mania. During this time the of a priest, the act of passing a church, the pronunciation of a (religious formula ell have brought on Mther attacks of violence or spells of ktumbneso. The association of ideas Which precipitate these crises were of ithe most fantastic kind--a piece of •white paper suggested the host, rofenalne salad turned her mind toward Ithe Roman church, a glass of chartreuse the brotherhood of Carthusian frnonlrn. At these suggestions she *would tremble and faint To nourish ja patient under these conditions dally tannine more and more of a problem. Takes Extreme Measures. In Paris last autumn the doctors Whom her husband consulted advised him to Incarcerate her. Deciding to toy everything else before resorting to mis extreme measure, her husband, on |Uie advee of an eminent chemist, finally put her under the treatment of a well-known specialist in psycotherapy. If. Mangln. Six months of treatment, consisting in psychic re-education, cither in a state of waking or by supertag with emotion that aha was *Tiberated." On tho order of M. Mangln, the iatfidal hypnosis, gave only results of abort duration. The Easter festivities exasperated the patient to the point of frenzy. This decided Mr. Mangin to go to extreme measures. He began a tireless search for a subject suitable for the experiment of a transference of the malady, with all Ita anguish and strange manifestations. This was a difficult task, for the subject must be of such a delicate and perfect suggestibility as to be able later to be freed in turn from these same miseries. Mme. Georgette Abel, a charming young artist, offered herself for this delicate experiment with as much charity as disinterestedness. On being put to sleep the subject's hand was placed in the hand of the afflicted woman. In a few moments the subject underwent an indescribable transformation. She was seized with agonizing convulsions. The patient, however, grasped the hand of the doctor, declarter uttafed 4 touching the ctrarat, wonj^ wmcb Trir seven years she had refused to utter under all kinds of compulsion. In the meanwhile, the young artist threw herself on the floor and attempted to beat her head against the wall, crying out in the same manner lw which the patient was wont to do. The latter, passing from words to acts, touched a holy medal, handled a crucifix and made a short prayer, all this quietly and without any hesitation, while the subject moaned and threw herself about more and more. Being assured of the complete "lib eration" of the former sufferer, M Mangin let the subject sleep while h« made suggestions of a soothing nature to her. Then he awakened her. Both women were in a perfectly tranquil state. Since this time the young wlf« goes every day to church. She bad a long conversation with a friend of the writer who says that not a trace of her former malady was visible. It Is two weeks since the cure was wrought and it has been perfectly maintained. A« for Mme. Abel, she is happier an? healthier than ever. M. Mangln does not pretend to know by what force he has accomplished this marvelous cure. He does not at- j tempt to interpret the facts, he only inquires into them carefully and Impartially, which is a great SCOUT PLANES TO PATROL THE AIR Washington.--Smuggling and nunrunning on a large scale by airplane and submarine Is looked for in the very near future by Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of Internal revenue, and by other government officials unless preparations are made in advance to defeat the twentieth century smugglers. The attention of the treasury department was particularly directed to this new danger of employing modern methods In smuggling by the accident- IN MEMORY OF THEJ)£|D OF FRANCE Hil ritiii'iwvtf al capture of an airplane Chat came across the Canadian border lnta northern New York with several cases of contraband liquor. It was entirely owing to an accident, however, that this capture was made, and the officials of the government have no doubt that large quantities of contraband liquor have reached this country already over the same air route. There is reason to believe that some venturesome pioneers of this new mode of smuggling through the air have already landed several thousands of dollars' worth of semiprecious stones from the topaz mines In Mexico, somewhere In the interior of the United States. At any rate, the menace to the national revenues has become so Immediate that Secretary Glass has decided that he will ask congress for transfer of 600 airplanes and hydro-airplanes from the army and navy to bis department and funds enough to create an effective air patrol. To Bilk Customs Revtmpi Later on he will ask also fbr the transfer from the navy of a large fleet of Eagles which were specially designed for chasing submarines, In order to protect the seacoasts and estuaries from the danger of smuggling by submarines. Equipped with these two modern craft for navigating the sea and air, the secretary of the treasury believes that he will be able to Interrupt any Illicit commerce designed to defeat the national prohibition laws or to bilk the government out of customs revenues. iimpJlUiXY EJvfentl RClarfc T-.

AILORS SWEAR LESS Term In Navy Extends Profanity Decreases. - • N. > - ' H*w in the Service Ave Profane, Noted Chaplain Declares. ' Santa Barbara, CaL--The profanity fft the average sailor--If he Is profane jjlt all--decreases as his service In the American navy lengthens, according to fcapt. E. W. Scott, chaplain of the new Pacific fleet. "The boys who have Just ottered the service are usually the most profane," According to Captain Scott, who has ^een in the naval service 15 years, and ^ho Is, besides Capt. M. C. Gleeson of the Atlantic fleet, the only fleet chap- Jain In the American navy. "The boys try to make the older men Already In the navy believe they, too. *re old and experienced, and they think the use of profanity the sorest way to accomplish the result." The work of the chaplains In the navy. Captain Scott said. Is along a "big brother" line. They deliver talks at the Sunday services aboard ship that might not be recognized by regular church attendants ashore. They speak to the men In the service in what they know are the terms of the men tn the service. They try to solve their problems and to direct them to clean thinking, clean speaking and clean living. They urge them to industry and to take advantage of the advantages offered for promotion. Until three or four years ago, according to Captain Scott, there were only 24 chaplains in the navy. He was one of them, having some years before left the Yale divinity school for a naval post. In 1914, a ruling provided for a chaplain to every 1,200 men, so the number grew to 180 during the war. It Is expected the new Pacific fleet when complete will have 20 or 2C chaplains of various religious denominations. Captain Scott formerly was statlonsa at San Francisco. Wow! Eggs 80 Years Old. Payette City, Fla.--Eggs believed t# be more than eighty years old were discovered by workmen who were making alterations In an old homestead here. The eggs were found In a nest between the rafters on the second floor. It is thought they were laid while the house, was being constructed. They were blackened from the dust of years. Like a Looking Glass. Toledo, O.--A clerk In an automobile sales place sat at the window all, day. He noticed every woman who passed seemed to stare at him. Flirting, thought he, as he patted his cowlick down and stared back. His wife passed. She stared, too. Your Window makes a perfect looking-glass, she said when she entered the store. EVERY COACH A SMOKING CAR English Railroads Make Concessions to the Increasing Use of Tohaoco by Woman. London.--So many Englishwomen have become confirmed smokers that in recent months railway employees have hesitated to enforce the rules against smoking In certain carriages, and it has come to be accepted that If the women passengers do not object every compartment becomes a "smoking car." The Great Eastern railroad, whose "^general manager Is Gen. Henry Thornton, formerly cf the Pennsylvania and Long Island systems In America, Is - Ithe first of the railroads to change the existing order and move for a return to prewar conditions. By a recent order only such com- . 'partments as are designated "smok- • ing" can be used for that purpose, and • even though all the passengers may ? consent, no concessions are made to women. If they want to smoke they - are to be referred to regular smoking HEN HELPS IN LIQUOR SEARCH Scratched Up a Bottle of Whisky at Bangor, Me., While Deputies Looked on. Bangor, Me.,--Other towns have hens that lay big eggs, bot Bangor has a few biddies that, it would seem, lay quart bottles of whisky. Sheriff Fernandez and his deputies are trying to find out who owns these remarkable hens, but thus far all they know Is that the hen has its habitat In a yard in Pine street. Deputies King and Noddin went up there browsing around for the staff and stood admiring the handsome biddies scratching in the straw of their inclosure. There seemed to be an unusually liberal supply of straw. Rum hounda notice these little things. One hen was particularly active and energetic In her scratching, and presently she uncovered, right where one would look for eggs, a quart bottle of whisky worth In these dusty days at least $10. the deputies took a tarn at scratching in the straw and uncovered 24 more bottles. They are whistling a new tune around the county jail n>w. They call It "Whisky In the Straw.' Fixed His Own Sentence. Vlsalia, Cal.--Ernest Stevenson, who was arrested on a charge of driving his automobile while In a state of Intoxication, fixed his own penalty when he appeared In Judge Clack's court "What do you think I ought to do with you?" Inquired the court. "I think six months in Jail would be about right,' replied Stevenson. "Well, then." rejoined the judge, "let that be the pen alty." Stevenson was taken to JalL EFOKE long, congress willing,! it will be possible for enlisted rt#n and officers of regulars, reserves and National Guards to receive vocational training of a high degree in connection with the military training which is essential for the soldiers. Hereafter, again congress willing, the young men who enlist In the regular army of the Unit- v ed States will receive Instruction which will in a double sense flt them for their country's service. If the call ever should come again for soldiers to take the field the youths who have been given this training will be ready to answer. When their terms of enlistment are up they will be fitted for that particular vocation in civil life upon which choice has fallen. The entrance Into the working life of the country of these young men who have finished their vocational training, it Is promised, will benefit the country tn the times of peace, aa their military training will benefit it in the possible time of war. At Camp Humphreys, Va., there is now under development a project known as the "New Engineer School and Post and College of Military Research." Admittedly this Is a cumbersome title, and one which would benefit by elision in behalf of brevity. This school Is wonderfully planned. This Is none too high praise. It is the heart son of officers of the army, regulars and National Guardsmen, who have studied the situation, present and future, from every possible viewpoint of the service and who have agreed upon plans for this school of the future. In fact, this institution at Camp Humphreys is a school of the present, for there for a long time young men have been undergoing vocational and military training. Itite the Intention to make the school a permanent one in order that every officer and enlisted man may become skilled in those vocations which have in them the possibility of double servicearmy service and civilian service. One of the faults which men have found with the regular army service of the United States tn time of peace has been that it has fitted officers and men only for the life military. There have been parents who have thought, not entirely rightly however, that an enlistment in the regular army of the United States in time of peace was tantamount to time wasted so far as preparation was concerned for usefulness in civil life. If the army students of today are allowed to have their way the day soon will come when the boys of the country can seek the army with a certainty of securing a training which will enable them at the time of the expiration of their enlistments to enter the civilian field certain that they havs la them the foundation knowledge of success. The school at Camp Humphreys will be an engineer school, but It will supply courses to which men of other branches of the service can be sent to get that training which is not supplied by the schools of their own branches and which help to flt them not only for the army, but for civilian employment. It Is the intention of the government to establish other schools than that at Camp Humphreys, but that institution probably will be much larger than any of the others, and In a sense be all embracing. The site of the school has all the attractions that nature can give it. It lies not far from the city of Washington. It has the necessary road, rail and water connections, for the Potomac washes Its shores, and, moreover, It has today on the ground serviceable material for instruction purposes In all vocational branches which cannot be duplicated In any other place In the world. Camp Humphreys will be the engineer school of the army. Recently the school at what was ordinarily known as Washington barracks In the city of Washington was abandoned. So it virtually Is certain that the corps of engineers, for It must have a school, will continue its educational work at Camp Humphreys at Belvolr-on-the-Potomac. Credit goes where credit is due. Col. Richard Park, corps of engineers of the regular army, assisted by Lieut. Col. W. H. Lanagan. has had charge of the preparation of the general plan and detailed estimates for the establishment of this school. Maj. H. E. Kebbon of the corps of engineers lias been chief of the architectural features. Capts. Mark Daniels and J. A. McLean and Lieut. J. W. Baston have supervised, and in fact have done the landscape work and the modeling. So far as the planning Is concerned the work is done, and to some extent the execution of the plan already is under way. In planning the layout of the present Camp Humphreys a large portion of the south end of the Belvoir peulnsula was reserved for a permanent post and school by direction of the chief of engineers, whose mind long had held a plan for the permanent establishment here of an Institution of the corps of engineers. The secretary of war was heartily in favor of such a school and was so impressed with the natural advantages of the locality that he directed the chief of engineers to include In his plans a group of buildings for a college of military research. Lieutenant Colonel Lanagan and Captain Daniels, who explained to me the functions of the school, who showed me the beautiful model of the completed Institution, who explained everything in detail and who finally took me into every part of the beautiful government reservation which is to be the school site, paid the highest tribute to the constructive genius of Col. Richard Park and other officers associated with him In the labor of preparation and execution. As for Colonel Lana- . "flew Substitute for Oil* A ory has been started In Sweden for extracting oil from scbist, thus adding one more to the number of substitutes already on the market. Large quantities of alum schist are found in the district, yielding benzine and crude gan and Captain Daniels, It ought to be said that these two officers have given of their best and are still remaining in the service, despite the calls of their business in civil life, to forward the project which has a9 Its essential element military plus a high grade of civilian vocational education for the youth of America who may become officers or enlisted men of the United States ftrtny. Last June I was at West Point, where I witnessed the presentation of diplomas to 2TiO young second lieutenants of the army who after a two years' course at the academy had been sent to Cnmp Humphreys for vocational training. They returned to West Point for the purpose of receiving their diplomas. So it will be seen that this school at Belvolr-on-the-Potomac has been In operation for some time. Even in Its preparatory stages this school not only has instructed young officers of the anuy, but hundreds of enlisted men. They work in machine shops, in lumber camps, for the peninsula Is heavily wooded; In carpentry, In printing. In map making, in blacksmlthlng, In railway construction and railway operation, in electricity, and In fact in all branches of Industry which are serviceable In civil life as in the army. The completion of the school as outlined will give to an officer, regular, reserve or National Guard, and to the enlisted man that rounded-out vocational education which It will be difficult to get elsewhere. Here Is every necessary manufactured product of the war time. Everything that engineering ingenuity has produced Is here, one might say, as a kind of educational sample. Camp Humphreys is a storehouse of the material necessary for instruction along nearly every line of military and civilian effort. Appropriations are needed to carry the work at Camp Humphreys to conclusion. Congress has been asked for money and the probability is that . It will be forthcoming. No one knows today whether the United States Is to have any form of universal military training or not, but if the decision shall be In its favor young men who from year to year enter their country's service for field training will be given an opportunity to benefit by a tralulng at this Potomac school. The students who thus far have been under Instruction at Camp Humphreys, officers and enlisted men alike, have started at the beginning of things. The West Point classes went into the machine and carpenter shops, laid tracks, did section- hand work and all the other things necessary to give them a practical knowledge of the things useful to them in their soldier profession or later in any profession or trade or business which they might enter on return to civil life. It has been a school of hard work, of regular living, with a sufficient amount of recreation, and with things so well balanced generally as to promote the normal working and "recreating" lives of men. There are broad-guage and narrow-gauge rallroads In operation at Camp Humphreys. There are many army trucks, armored trains, signal, searchlight, and flash range apparatus; forestry study, numbering, bridge laying, and all other facilities for training on a broad scale. The very character of the terraln-lind the ample timber supply at Camp Humphreys will allow the development of field fortifications on a large scale and under varied conditions. Roads already available, from footpaths to modern great highways, furnish the fields for the practical study of communication which forms such an important part of the duties of engineering troops in the field. Five miles of standard-gauge railroad and 20 miles of narrow-gauge or combat railroads, together with warehouses and depots cover in all their operations the functions of the service of supply. _ " Adequate areas for target practice and for the use of gas are already developed. The water supply is plentiful and of excellent quality. The climate is healthful, and mild enough to make field work practicable during the entire year. An are* ten miles square Is large enough for maneuvering large bodies of troops and Is sufficiently varied tn character to cover the wide range of field con<Utlons. including flat, open country, rolling grounf^ wooded areas, valleys and ravines. Camp Humphreys will be an engineer school, a tenu which Is used to embrace all the phases of engineering training. There will be an Institution for post graduates of the military academy and of civil institutions to prepare them for the work of the corps of engineers. The course will require two years and will cover many subjects which can be grouped under these heads: Military, military engineering, civil engineering, electrical and mechanical engineering. There will be a cadet school for the completion of training of cadet* who have not completed the full course at the military academy; a school for reserve and National Guard officers; a school for line officers; a correspondence school for reserve and National Guard officers, covering the duties of engineer officers of the various branches of the reserve and National Guard. Naturally a large part of the Interest tn this proposed institution cente's on what It can do for enlisted men as w«B as for officers. The engineer trade school which Is to be estab* llshed will embrace all these branches: Blacky smith, carpentry, drafting, surveying, electricity, gas engines, automobiles, lithography, steam engines, masonry, photography, plumbing, rigging;, stenography, oxy-acetylene welding, machine ahoy Work, railroad operation* and camouflage. , A complete model has been made of the pW- . posed school and outlying accessories. For tfcO College of Military Research there will be one administration building; four large central buildings, respectively for records, statistics arid mechanical and electrical laboratories; four smaller buildings, one for chemistry, one for physics, and two Cor lecture rooms; one library building, and a village of 250 separate houses for officers, churches, clal^ garage, playgrounds, and all necessary utilities. In addition to these buildings and properly ggtouped there are to be one academic building; and two recitation buildings, an auditorium a museum, a library, laboratory and other structures. Buildings corresponding in slate and to equipment and grouped so as to insure uniformity coupled with beauty will be necessary for the school directly connected with the vocational tniining of the enlisted men and the officers. It has been evident for some time that the atiintion of the military authorities is to be gttVB tn the future to the vocational training of young men, to be carried on side by side with their military Instruction. The school at Camp Humphrey^ as has been said, is not the only school which It Is Intended to establish, but it probably will be hi a sense the parent school and the one which will famish the facilities for certain training which carinot be secured at schools of the other branches of the service. Men who already have attended the school at Gamp Humphreys have spread Its fame as an educational Institution. In the words of OoL Richard Park of the corps of engineers, who haa hud this project at heart, and who worked dally jtiid nightly to perfect It in every detail: "It will be the function of the trade schoola not only to develop the skilled personnel needed for mlltlary work, but also to Insure every soldier a thorough training In some trade which will be a benefit to him after leaving the service. This will attract a much better school of recruits under the TOlunteer system of training and will be an Important factor in the maintenance of morale under a; system of universal military training." No one knows how large a force it will be neceo sary for the United States to maintain for purposes of defense and preparedness, but whether the force be large or small the evident Intention of the government authorities is to see to it that men who enter the service shall have an opportunity to educate themselves along lines other than those tgiiich are purely military.
