NEW VOLUME IS AID TO SPEECH Fake Cures Stammerers Scouts for A new book on the subject of stutter- ing and stammering has been added to the collection of information on the shelves of the Winnetka Public Library. The new work is entitled "Stammering, Its Cause and Cure." It was written by Benjamin Nathaniel Bogue, a recognized authority on the subject of stammering and author of several volumes dealing with imperfec- tions of speech. Until he was 20 years of age, Mr. Bogue was himself afflicted with stam- mering. He relates in his latest book some of the experiences of his early life when inability to talk without stutter- ing, handicapped his efforts to gain a foothold in the world of business. The author's cure of himself of the stammering affliction, after years de- voted to scientific study of the human voice and the causes of impeded speech, is told in the new book. Since he over- came his own affliction, Mr. Bogue has devoted his life to the study of stam- mering and its cure. 'The facts related in the book just received by the Public Library are based upon his personal con- tact with 20,000 stammerers and infor- mation gained through correspondence with approximately 190,000 others simi- larly afflicted who have sought his ad- vice during the 24 years he has been the head of the Bogue Institute for Stammerers in Indianapolis. The Bogue book discusses the harass- ing effect of stammering upon the mind and body of a child and of grown-up stammerers. It contains advice for the guidance of stammering children, warn- ing them against patronizing unscienti- fic and "fake" advertisers of cures for the affliction. DIRECTS IN 3 LANGUAGES Victor Seastrom not only can di- rect pictures, but he can do it in three languages. First, he directed them in his ewn country, Sweden. Then he came to Hollywood, and directed them in Hollywoodese. And then, in "He Who Gets Slapped," the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer production, he had to di- rect in French as well, for Paulette Duval, one of the members of the cast, could speak only a few words in English.

WORLD RECORD TEAM IN ILLINOIS RELAY Georgetown university's two-mile re- lay team, which recently set a new world's record of 7:45 for the two-mile relay, will be a certain starter in the University of Illinois relays on Satur- day night, February 28. The Washing- ton, D. C. outfit will meet the pick of the Middle-West in the race. University of Pennsylvania, Penn State college, headed by Alan Helffrich, one of the greatest runners of today, and Springfield college, Mass., are other eastern squards which will travel to Urbana to compete in the classic com- petition. Michigan, Chicago, Iowa, Wis- consin, Kansas, Nebraska and other leading Middle-Western universities will enter athletes. All in all, the Illini ex- pect that more than 400 men will toe the mark in the big games. The relays will be held in the big armory where spectators sit in warmth and comfort. The famous Illinois band of more than 100 pieces will play during the races. To speed up the events the Illini have arranged to have all prelim- inary heats in the afternoon. At this time also the all-round championship will be run off. This means that the main meet at night will be fast and that there will not be the dragging which some- times spoils track meets. Illinois' armory will accommodate more than 5,000 spectators and a crowd of this proportion is indicated by the ad- vance sale. The Illini managers, how- ever, expect that there will be seats available even at the last minute. Dr. Williams Sanatorium for cancer, 219 Carrol St.,, Waukesha, Wis.
