tor of the National Hospital for Speech

to the American Medical, association,
i Stutterer, Doctor Greene found, dont
need to learn to talk i all they need Is
to get rid of some bidden "fear com
iplex." -c-irA.' -;.,
"Stuttering," Doctor Greene said re
fCtotly, "Is usually, caused by a, conflict
iirlth enYlronment, which results In an
jnxlety-fear complex. ; In all. cases
where there Is no mechanical difficulty,
psychological treatment Is certain to
succeed. When there is physical dis-
jabillty, we cure the mechanical trou
ble and then clear up the complex.
"Stuttering speech," Doctor Greene
.explained, "is not a speech disorder.
It la a nervous mal-adjustment All
stutterers can talk. So I don't teach
them to talk; I teach them to over
come the neuroses which Interfere with
their expressing themselves.
"1 say to my patients, 'Ton can talk
jas well as I can.' And I prove It to
Ithem."
Doctor Greene describes how one
person may go through "shocks of op
positional environment" in childhood
jor adult life, and not hare his speech
affected, while another apparently nor
mal Individual, the "potential stutterer
jtype," comes out stuttering, or with
'"ome similar speech disorder.

I Prices for Diamonds
Rising, Experts Agree
London. London's diamond kings,
controllers of the world's supply, are
to release for sale more uncut stones
within the next few weeks than were
sold throughout the whole of the last
year.
So convinced are they that the world
has recovered enough to indulge once
more In luxuries that prices are being
advanced VA per cent, and there Is
confidence that all stones offered will
be sold.
Altogether stones worth more than
115,000,000 Will be offered to selected
buyers, from all parts of the world
within two months. The Diamond cor
poration, which has accumulated 545,
000,000 worth of stones during the
years of depression, has been allocat
ed a quota In the sales next month.
Invitations already have been dis
patched to representative brokers in
Amsterdam, Antwerp, Vienna, Paris,
Bombay, and New York.
The central selling agency of the
diamond groups Is In a four-story
building off Holborn. Every foreign
buyer is shown into a walnut paneled
room. He Is accompanied by a repre
sentative of the sellers. On a square
of plain white paper Is poured a little
heap of graded, uncut stones. It rep
resents a fortune.
. The buyer examines the stones,
makes his choice, pays his price, and
departs with a tiny package as casual
ly as If be bad purchased a bag of
nuts.
Biggest buyers are expected to be
New York and India. American Jew
elers' stocks are believed to be low
est since the depression. India's de
mand Is based on "dehoardlng" of gold
by the princes.

TREASURE HUNTERS
i ; . ),s
Island Famed as Rendezvous
" f or lir.ates., '
' "1 f , '; w$rV
Washington. Cocos Island, near
which the IJ. 6. S. Houston anchored
while President .Roosevelt , and bis
party fished, during the recent Presi
dential tour, has been In recent yean
more famous as a rendezvous for treas
ure hunters than for fishermen. The
shark-infested waters off the island,
however, are reported to be among
the best fishing grounds between Cali
fornia and Panama.
"Made up of sixteen square miles of
uninhabited, forest-covered mountains
and deeply-gashed valleys, rising out
of the Pacific about 800 miles off Costa
Rica, Cocos owes Its fame to activities
of pirates along the coasts of Central
and South America In the Seventeenth
and the early part of the last century,"
says the National Geographic society.
"Capt Edward Davis who looted
Leon, Nicaragua, in 10S5, fled to Cocos,
burled his treasure and rested until
his next plundering expedition. In the
early eighties, Bento, a former Portu
guese naval officer, who was a scourge
to shipping in the Caribbean, felt that
his old field of operations was becom
ing too well policed for his profession,
rounded the Horn, preyed upon towns
and shipping alone the Pacific coast
and sought refuge on this isolated Is
land. He also Is believed to have
burled his treasure on Cocos before
he and his crew were captured.
Famous Lima Loot
"The loot of other pirates has been
reported cached on Cocos; but the fa
mous 'Loot of Lima' probably has
been the chief magnet drawing modern
treasure hunters to the Island, far off
the shipping lanes of the Pacific. Gold
and silver and precious stones worth
millions accumulated by the Spaniards
from richly adorned Inca temples, were
hoarded In Lima when a revolution
broke out
"The Lima mint was filled with gold
and silver and the Lima cathedral was
a vault of wealth. The cathedral
chalices were solid gold, studded with
priceless gems. Golden altars and al
tar equipment glistened in the dim
light of the edifice. Diamond-studded
vestments beamed with a new radiance
with every movement of the priests
who Wore them. There were chasu
bles of gold adorned with rows of dia
monds, rubles, emeralds, and sap
phires. "Fearing seizure of these treasures
by the revolutionists Lima city fa
thers sought a ship as a hiding place.
The Mary Dear was riding at anchor
in the harbor of Cnllao. Under cov
er of darkness the treasures were
transferred to the Mary Dear's hold
and a guard stationed aboard. Prob
ably unknown to the Spaniards, the
Mary Dear was commanded by one of
Benito's pirates. The glint of gold and
the shimmer of Jewels crazed the cap
tain. The guards were massacred and
thrown overboard, and the Mary Dear
made for the open sea. The crew of
the ship was arrested later but not
tntll the cargo of riches had been
burled, presumably on Cocos.
All Are Unsuccessful.
"In the last century more than a
score of expeditions have visited
Cocos. One was headed by the famous
British automobile racer, Sir Malcolm
Campbell. Another was led by the
widow of a friend of the Mary Dear's
captain, while a third was led by two
women philanthropists. A British na
val officer anchored at Cocos and or
dered his crew to find the treasure,
but all he gained was a severe repri
mand from the British admiralty when
he reached England. Pick and shovel
treasure hunting was the vogue on
early expeditions, but In 1932 a group
of hunters pinned their hopes on a
newly developed metal detector. They
also were unsuccessful.
"Coconuts (from which the Island
gets Its name) and bananas grow wild.
Wild pigs scamper through the forests,
myriads of birds swarm In its trees;
coffee, i sugar, - and vegetables can be
grown in its fertile spots; fresh water
Is plentiful and its naturally tropical
atmosphere Is tempered by sea breezes
and . frequent rains.. But Cocos has
never been successfully colonized, al
though the. arid Galapagos islands, its
neighbors 880 miles to the southwest,
are permanently inhabited.
"For a abort time Costa Rica main
tained a penal colony on Cocos island,
and it has been visited from time to
time by whalers, as well as pirates.
One treasure hunter remained on Cocoa
for several years In the hope of prov
ing the Island suitable for colonbsa
tton."

Wash! arton. Steam shovels are

once poshed through silent, tangled
Jangles In search of the Fountain of
Youth and tall masts eventually may
mingle with the tall pines in Florida's
northern forests; for the new ship ca
nal there has been begun.
If the canal Is completed , as
planned, squat freighters, proud pas
senger liners, and even grim war craft
from the seven seas win steam through
Inland waters on which In bygone days
keen-eyed Indiana and gold-erased
white men paddled primitive canoes,"
says the National Geographic society.
"Churning engines and deep-throated
whistles will break the silence In quiet
bayous where once only the occasional
splash of an alligator or the brilliant
flight of a flamingo colony disturbed
the solitude.
"Furnishing a convenient short cut
for vessels between the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf of Mexico, the canal Is
designed to utilize the channels of
three picturesque Florida rivers the
St Johns, the Ocklawaha and the
Wlthlacoochee. Therefore, although
the trans-peninsular waterway will be
nearly 200 miles long, less than half
Its length will have to be dug by hu
man agencies. Mother nature, the
great engineer, already has excavated
a large proportion herself. Boats have
piled for many years on all three riv
ers, and the canal simply will connect
and deepen them.
To Be 8ea-Level Route.
"Like the 100-mile waterway at Suez,
the Florida canal will be a sea-level
route, with none of the huge locks and
mountain-slicing 'cuts' necessary at
Panama. Canal building is compara
tively easy in Florida, for the highest
point in the peninsula Is less than two
thirds the height of the Washington
monument, and most of the state Is
only a few feet above the ocean.
"From the Atlantic, ships will enter
the canal at bustling, versatile Jack
sonville, whose exports range from
pine boards to ground oyster shells,
the latter to aid chickens' digestions!
Jacksonville, only 25 miles from Flor
ida's northern border, Is the state's
largest city, its industrial center, and
a leading lumber shipping point
"Through this city, the gatewy to
Florida's vast winter playground, a
huge traffic rolls down to Miami beach
on the east and St. Petersburg on the
west coasts, and to other southern re
sorts when winter's first chills appear
up North.' In some years this 'snn
worohlper" travel lias reached as high
as a motor car n minute.
"From Jacksonville south, ocean
vessels already navigate 64 miles of
what Is planned to be part of the
canal route. Tills Is the St Johns
river, which strangely enough In so
flat a region, flows due north 125 miles
before reaching the sea.
"A sluggish stream It drops only
TO feet In 100 miles the St. Johns
curries a large water-borne commerce
to Jacksonville.
"1'alntka, busy little shipping cen
ter on the upper St. Johns, Is now the
head of navigation for ocean vessels.
Palatka's lumber piles, seen from the
air, resemble a city In themselves,
and the city boasts what is believed
to be the only camphor plantation
in the United States. Farther up
stream, near Welaka, the new canal
will turn southwestward along the
narrow, winding course of the Ockla
waha river, a tributary of the St
Johns.
Through Pine Forests.
"Much of the country through which
the canal will pass consists of pine
forests, many already cut over, for
lumbering Is a leading Florida indus
try. "Leaving the Ocklawaha, the canal
wlU cut across to the Wlthlacoochee,
'Little Big River' of the Indians, which
flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Navi
gable now for 60 miles by boats of
shallow draft the Wlthlacoochee car
ries cargoes of fish, oysters, farm pro
duce and lumber down to the sea.
"Happy days may be In store again
for Port Inglls, at the Wlthlacoochee's
mouth, scheduled to be the canal's
Gulf terminus. Port Inglls prospered
in past days when large cargoes of
phosphate rock moved down the Wlth
lacoochee, but in late years the rock
has been largely shipped East by rail,
and the town has declined."
