Aphasia Victim Who Had Wan

in Distant City.
HOT LIQUID RESTORES HIM
Remembers Nothing After Enter
ing New York Subway Until
Reaching Restaurant in Albany.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—he has
not spilled a cup of scalding Lot cof
fee over his knees, Joseph^A. Web
ber, 18 years old, who disappeared
from his home last week, might have
been on his way West for an indefi
nite period of travel. But he did
spill the coffee by accident in a lunch
room in Albany, and then he “found
himself.” came back to his home last
right and there was a happy family
reunion.
The youth was suffering from aphe.
mia, commonly known as motor apha
sia. In this condition the victim ha3
a terrible, Irresistible impulse to keep
on the move, to get somewlfcre else.
Home persons say \hat even money
can’t keep the victim from traveling
toward his indefinite goal, and hence
i- may be a pretty good excuse in the
future for husbands who want a little
rest, but fear t j mention it at homo.
The victim is attacked in the
broca convolution, the third frontal
convolution of the left hemisphere,
once a man is attacked by this long
ing to keep on the go there’s nothing
that can stop him, for if he has not
.-nough money to take 9.11 airship, an
automobile or a train, hi will wall:,
walk and walk.
Mr. and Mrs. William Webber were
at home in the afternoon when tho
telephone bell rang.
Lost His Memor in Subway.
“Just arrived here,” said Joseph
Webber’s voice, "at the Grand Cen
tral Station. I’ll be right up home as
soon as I can get there.”
Dr. John E. O’Connell was at the
Louse when the boy arrived. He ex
amined him carefully and said that
he was physically in good condition,
and then the boy told his story.
1 remember starting from here on
Friday morning for work,” he said. “I
got irf the subway, and after that
can’t recollect anything until I was
suddenly aroused by a stinging sen
sation in my knee-9 and legs. I found
that I was sitting at a lunch counter,
in a place that I afterward discov
ered to be Albany, and that I had
spilled the coffee over my knees.
Comes to Himself.
“Before me was the overturned cup
end a sandwich, and a waiter was
looking at me. 1 asked the waiter
where l was, and I. said: ‘Here.’ i
walked away from the place and
finally learned the name of Ihe town,
and that it was Saturday. In mv
pockets I found $9. So 1 went to a
small hotel and had a long sleep. I
took the train, the first one to leave
after I got up. and here I am.”
Dr. O’Connell characterized the at
tack as purely a functional disturb
ance. which, he said, might be caused
by a shock. Fie said that it might
possibly be brought on by a quick
jump from in front of an automo
bile or by a fainting sensation caused
by the bad air in the subway. The
shock temporarily suspended, he said,
ihe function of broca convolution
end the impulse of the victim was to
keep going somewhere. Dr. O’Con
nell asserted that the boy probably
wandered out of the subway at *he
Grand Central Station and then de
cided to get aboard a train.
Case Rare, Says Physician.
“The boy is physically al 1 right,'*
said Dr. O’Connell. “There is noth
ing the matter with him now. H's
case is a very rare one. and victims
of aphemia are seldom attacked m* rj
than once.”.
Webber is a good worker and likes
his duties. Dr. O’Connell explained
that the work in the hank had noth
ing to do with the attack. Mrs. Web
ber said her son w r as a devout at
tendant of the Church of Our Lady of
Lourdes, in Harlem. Before the tele
phone message was received it was
thought b' 1 his family that the boy
had been drugged and enticed away.

VVebb-Kfenyon Law Does Not Bar
Personal Shipments, Accord
ing to St. Paul Decision.
DES MONKS, IOWA. D?c. 20.—Thf
Webb-Kenyon law does not prevent
the shipment of liquor into dry ter
ritory for the consumer’s personal
use. Judge Charles A. Willard has
made this ruling in Federal Court
at St. Paul/in the case of the Hamm
Brewing Company vs. the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific Railway. A
copy of this order lias been forwarded
to Attorney General George Cosson.
The brewing company consigned a
shipment of liquor to a Mr. Moss, of
Iowa, to the Rock Island. The railroad
refused to transport the liquor on the
grounds that to do so would be *to
violate the Webb-K°nyon law, which
declares it to be unlawful for a ship
ment of liquor intended to be re
ceived, consumed, or sold in violation
of any law of the State to which it
is sent.
The court held, in effect, that if
Moss had intended to use the liquor
for bootlegging, the shipment would
have been illegal, but that for per
sonal consumption it could not be so
held.
There is a law’ in Iowa. Judge Wil
lard pointed out, prohibiting the
transportation by any common car-
i rier of liquors billed to anv* one not
I holding a permit. The Webb-Kenyon
| bill does not prohibit interstate trans
portation of liquor in violation of a
[ State law. however, the court said,
i It is the carrying of liquor intended
to be put to an unlawful use that
the Webb-Kenyon bill prohibits.
PAROLED CONVICT BARRED.
LA PORTE, IND., Dec. .20.—Antone
Maladrak Malabara, a paroled convict,
returned to the Michigan City prison
expecting to be permitted to complete
his manslaughter sentence of two to
twenty-one years, only to find that he
had been finally discharged. Malabra
told the Warden he had tired of the
battle with the world and wanted to
end his days in the prison.
Dash It All! He Never Cusses,
Even if He Did Write
About It.
PITTSBL’RG, Dec. 20.— Professor
II. ( \ Long, ihe Carnegie Institute
of Technology, would like to have it
thoroughly understood that he knows
nothing about profanity. He doesn’t
use it, he doesn’t like it and he »s
mighty tired of it. and anything that
he may have said about it lie takes
buck.
Last year one of the editors of The
Tartan, the institute paper, told Pro
fessor Long that the principal edito
rial of a coming issue of tne paper
was to deal w ith profanity. The young
man stated that an effort was being
made to lessen the evil among stu
dents and requested that Professor
Long write a contribution on the sub
ject. ✓Mr. Long said he didn’t know
anything about it. but wrote an iron
ical article on profanity as it is
spoken.
Within three days after tt|* article
was printed in The Tartan it ap
peared in newspapers all over [he
country. Attention was called to the
fact that Professor Long believed that
the quickest way to relieve overheat
ed feelings was to say something,
neat, snappy and reasonably profane.
He was hailed as an authority on Lie
subject and was swamped with mall
from persons who had thought up
something he might like for its terse
ness. Now the very word profanity
irritates him. He’s sorry he erer said
a word about it.
Tea Not Tea if Drug,
Government Rules
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20.—While
the Department of Agriculture has
been wrestling with “What is beer?”
“What is chocolate?’’ and other food
conundrums, the Treasury Depart
ment has succeeded in answering the
question. “When is tea not tea?”
The Treasury has decided that
when tea is not tea it is a drug. Un
der the Treasury’s decision medicated
teas will pay a duty of 15 per cent
ad valorem, while plain tea will con
tinue to be admitted free.
As They Drink Wine
Nags Hitched to Water Wagon Caught j
Helping Themselves From Liquor
Delivery Cart.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.—|
“Here’s how!” said the black.
"Happy days!" said the bay.
“The bouquet of this white wine is
exquisite,” said the bay.
“It’s got nothing on this,” said the
brunette nag. taking a draught from
the bottle of red.
For several days in succession
Spencer Wastroin discovered that
wine had been stolen; always it was
the wine that comes in straw-cov
ered bottles. He is deliveryman for
a wine house.
Yesterday the culprits were dis
covered. Wastrom left his wagon In
front of the sprinkling cart that
operates near Mission and Eighteenth
streets, and when he returned to the
spot he found that the horses, a black
and a bay> attached to* the water
wagon were nibbling at the straw-
covered bottles, and he overheard the
equine equivalent of the conversation
previously noted.
‘Grip’ Called Disease
Without a Country
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON. Dec. 20. The “grip'' is a
disease without a country, according to
a new book just issued, which is de
voted to the malady. Every country
tries to make it oui a native of an
other land.
In Russia It Is called Siberian fever,
and in Siberia Chinese fever. In France
It has been called Spanish catarrh, and
Spain throw’s it back as Russian fever.
The term influenza came to be gen
erally applied in England to the disease,
which was successively known as “the
new acquaintance," “the gentle cor
rection,” “the new delight" and the
“knock-me-down fever.”
German CrownPrince
Is Learning Trade
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Dec 20. The German
Crown Prince is now a tradesman, hav
ing adopted the handicraft of a master
turner.
A complete turner's workshop has
been erected for His Royal Highness at
his villa at Y'anwfuhr, and ie is as
siduously working at his new trade un
der the instruction of a Dantzig mas
ter at the craft.
The Crown Prince is only carrying
out the tradition of his family, as it is
an unwritten law that every member of
the house of Hohenzollern should learn
a trade.
MB BOYS IN
Arkansas Miss Wins Third Gov
ernment Prize and First Of
fered by Georgia Concern.
I TTTLE ROCK. Dec. 20.—Two
thousand one hundred and sixty-
seven Arkansas boys must hang their
heads in shame they were beaten in
the annual competition for boys’ corn
club prizes by a girl, Delphine Moore,
of Washington County.
. Only two boys were able to show a
better record, on the form required
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, than little Miss Moore,
she taking third prize for work in
Arkansas.
Many of the boys are riled over the
record of Miss Moore ami want to
know how she "got into a boys’ club.
i anyhow.” This expression shows the
bitterness of their draught, for when
Miss Moore entered the contest in
Washington County it was considered
somewhat as a joke. Miss Moore
raised 101 bushels of corn on an acre,
at a cost of 12 cents per bushel, and
made up for the lack of high-priced
fertilizers by hard work on the soil.
Gets $50 Prize.
j More than tw’o boys secured a high-
] er yield from an acre than did Miss
Moore, but it was either at a greater
cost per bushel, or there was a lar-
ness in keeping the record required
by the Government, so the general all
round work of this energetic farm
girl w’on for the third prize, $50, over
so many competitors.
Before entering the boys’ corn club
contest Miss Moore made a bargain
with her brother, also a contestant,
that if he would plow the land as she
directed, she would hoe and weed Ills
acre of corn. The brother agreed and
on the last day of April she selected
the kind of a plow she wanted used
and stood by to see that the ground
was turned to a depth of twelve
inches. The ground was then thor
oughly harrowed and the first day of
May the corn was planted in row's
three feet and a half apart.
Miss Moore followed another idea
of her own in the plowing of the corn.
Four weeks after planting she had her
brother plow the corn to a depth of
six inches, and the following day she
had it gone over with the plow again.
On the last day of May the corn was
thinned and hoed for the first time.

the Texas woman who has resigned the
presidency of the Dixie Club.
"One can’t be president of a club, or
clubs, without sacrificing one’s family.
“Y'ou know,” she said, “I was born
and raised in Texas. Of course, we
like to be near New York, so we have
bought 130 acres near Oyster Bay, and
are building a country place. I am go
ing to get all my animals from Texas;
then, when 1 get tired, I can get back
to the farm in an hour’s time.
“I am president of the Texas Club
and that taxes a great deal of my time.
Finally my husband said that if I con
tinued giving all my time to club af
fairs he would not build the Long Is
land place. So there you are.
“I have considered it a great honor
to be the Dixie Club’s president, if onlj
for a short rime.”
