New York, Oct. 5 U.R Research by an Ohio scientist disclosed
today that babies conceived in the winter or cool months have a
better chance to become famous.
The report comes from Dr. Clarence A. Mills, professor of
experimental medicine at the University of Cincinnati, in the
magazine Science, official pub-

through the air barely missing a B-29. This unscheduled event
occurred when a flight of low flying air force B-29s passed

What Makes Johnny
Stutter? Some Answers Given
By DAVID TAYLOR MARKE
(AP Nfjtetiire
We hear much nowadays of speech defects In children. Stut
tering is commonly included among them, but not accurately so.
As Professor Amy Bishop Chapin points out in the National
Parent-Teacher magazine, the stuttering child usually has a deep
er trouble of which his stuttering is a symbol and symptom.
What can his parents andf-
teachers do to help him? Is there
any known formula that will
work for all?
Dr. Chapin, who is assistant
professor of speech at Western
Reserve university; assistant
chief of the hearing and speech
therapy division of the Cleve
land Hearing and Speech center
and consultant to the Cleveland
Heights board of education, in
an article entitled, "When a
School Child Stutters," under
takes to answer these questions.
Much can be done to elimin
ate the Irritations that make
stuttering worse, she lays. An
environment can be arranged,
both in the home and the
school, that will help to prevent
stuttering.
d Finally, the child can be help
ed to make a better personal ad
justment. This usually aids In
reducing the tendency to stutter,
which is only a symptom of
some deeper trouble within.
The child most frequently be
gins to stutter in the second or
third year. It is a time when
most children are greatly con
cerned with language and when
they are probably more often
criticized for their speech than
t any other age.
If they are concerned too
much, they find themselves very
conscious of their errors, even
ashamed of them.
Here are some Do's and Don'ts
for parents and teachers, says
Dr. Chapin:
Don't try to correct the child
by asking him to "say It over"
and so forth.
Don't tell all the children to
stop teasing him.
Don't be afraid to let the child
confide his problems to you.
Don't shield him from his fa
ther or other critical relatives.
Don't worry about his speech
without doing anything con
structive. Don't call too much attention
to his speech difficulty.
Don't be too critical of his
little childish Imperfections.
Don't swamp him with sym
pathy and emotional responses.
Don't ask the teacher to treat
the stuttering child as If he were
V sick.
Do Ignore the stuttering as
such but look for undue tension
at home and In scnool.
Do discuss stuttering calmly
wih the child if he brings it up,
and let him do his own explain
ing. Do help him to solve his so
cial difficulties as you would
help any other child.
Do help him to become a pal
to his father.
Do teach him how to accept
criticism without despair.
Do try to build his confidence
by praisng his strengths and
understandng his weaknesses.
Do let him see that you re
gard his problem without fear.
Do urge everyone to accept
him as he is including his stuttering.
Recognize stuttering for what
it is, urges Dr. Chapin.
It may be brought about when
a child enters kindergarten or
first grade and must suddenly
adjust himself to the increased
complications of school life.
Tensions that arise at the be
ginning of adolescence may also
play an important role. Sudden
tensions at home, such as a ser
ious illness in the family, the
coming of another baby, or a
sudden frightening incident.
may cause it.
Anything in the home situa
tion that increases tension and
pressure on a sensitive child is
likely to increase his difficulty.

impetus."
The hot months of July and
August even in the temperate
zone can effect the future of
the child, according to Mills.
He said that babies "planned"
in those two hot months have a
"low likelihood" of ever mak
ing "who's who," or becoming
president.
It's because hot temperature
causes physiological changes in
the parents that affect their off
spring, according to Aims.
In reviewing the birthdates of
the country's presidents, Mills
found an exception President
Harry S. Truman, who was
born on May 8.
Eleven presidents, he said,

er's, or between mother's and
father's, may leave a feeling of
insecurity that results in greater
speech difficulties.
Probably the most serious fac
tor of all, says Dr. Chapin, is the
nagging perfectionism that
characterizes some homes. It is
normal for parents to wish their
children to be well prepared for
life, but driving the child to
meet hopelessly high standards
can bring only fear and anxiety.
Constant unfavorable compari
son with other children also is
to be avoided.
