came ll, and Douredoure asked Fladell

cases of feeble-mlndedncss, ac
cording to Dr. Ira W. Drew, local osteon
path In the Land Title Building, who has
had some phenomenal results In dealing
with cases of children who havo been ding
nosed ns feeble-minded bordcr-tluo cases.
Doctor Drew has been working on such
cases for months. Ho has talked of the
work to none except members of his pro
fession until todny, when he was asked
for his opinion of tho achievements of
osteopathy on cases of feeble-mlndedncss.
Tho oponlng of tho Exhibit on Feeble
mindedness In tho Wldener Building,
Chestnut nnd Juniper streets, hns aroused
n now Interest In fooblo-iulndedness, bor
der.tlno cases nnd abnormnl children.
"Wo do not say that wo aro nblo to
euro feeble-minded people," said Doctor
Drew this morning, "but wo havo been
nblo to help somo of tho so-called border
lino enscs materially. There havo been
a number of specific cases which havo
been benefited by osteopathy. Wo had
one Frnnkford boy, considered on the
border-lino of feeble-mlndedncss, who was
a confirmed llnr. His mother first be
camo Interested In osteopathy because wo
had benefited her baby who was dying
of malnutrition. Sho told mo herself
Hint after 12 treatments the littlo llnr
was benefited nnd did not tell lies ub ho
did before."
Doctor Drew told of a little girl, classed
on the border-line, who had been suffer
ing with St. Vitus' dance. Sho had never
been considered normal. Ten treatments,
twice a week, made her capable of taking
part ln class work again. Usually under
other than osteopathic mothods, accord
ing to Doctor Drew, It takes from five to
clgth months to obtain any results In
such a case.
"I find that In every enso ot feeble
mindedness, no mnttor whether tho per
son Is nn Idiot. Imbecllo or a Moron,
there Is always tho Atlas lesion," snld
Doctor Drew. "Tho Atlas lesion Is tho
malposltjon of tho bono nt tho top of tho
spinal column on which tho head rests.
Somotlmcs thl3 has been caused In birth.
"Tho osteopath working to benefit tho
border-lino caso of feeble-mlndedncss,"
said Doctor Drew, "proceeds on the theory
that tho mental condition is duo to tho
Improper action of tho nuto-protcctlvo
mechanism of tho body. Tho auto-pro-tectlvo
mechanism Is affected by tho mal
performance of the functions of tho duct
less glands. Tho more Important of theso
aro tho ndrcnnl glands (around tho kid
neys) nnd tho thyroid glands."
By working with these nnd getting tho
glands to perform their functions, tho
osteopaths hold that tho auto-protectlvo
mechanism helps tho bordcr-llno cases to
become nenrer normal.
SCHOOL LAW BREACH
PUIS PARENTS IN JAIL
Woman and Man Sentenced for
Violating Compulsory Edu
cation Law
Two parents wcro sent to Jnll for five
days this nfternoon for violating tho
compulsory education law In falling to
compel their children to nttend school,
and seven fathers nnd mothers paid fines
for a similar offense.
Tho most flagrant case was that of
Mrs. Bcsslo Henly, of 4930 Kershaw ave
nue, whoso son Thomas, 12 years old, Is
a pupil at tho school of Our Mother of
Sorrows' Church,- 49th street and Lancas
ter avenuo. Tho father is a laborer, nnd
Is away from tho homo through tho day.
Tho mother neglected her flvo children,
ranging In age from 5 to 15 years, ac
cording to tho prosecutor, Samuel E. Van
Houten, supervising attendance olllcer for
tho Bureau of Compulsory Education.
Mrs. Henly, It was .charged, failed to pro
vide stockings to tho children and they
walked on tho streets In bare feet. Wit
nesses told Magistrate Stevenson nt tho
hearing held at his ofllce, 3947 Lancaster
avenuo, that Mrs. Henly throw tho beds
In the cellar so that tho youngsters wero
obliged to sleep on the floor. Sho per
mitted Thomas to absent himself from
bchool for 109 sessions.
Hugh Mangan, of 2145 East Sargeant
street, also went to jail In default of a
fine. In four cases, the prosecution was
deferred to permit the offenders to com
ply with the law before they wcro fined
or jailed.
DRYN MAWR GIRL
WEDDED BY CONTRACT
Continued from Face One
play ("Getting Married") to try to provo
that a marriage contract was better than
a Christian marriage. She found that the
marriage contract played a much larger
part In the life of the Continent than It
ever has In England or America.
METHODS OP MARRIAGE.
After becoming engaged to tho Count,
Miss Smith found that in New York there
were as many ns four ways of "getting
married." First, It could be done by a
ceremony performed by a clergyman or the
leaders of the Society for Ethical Culture ;
second, by a mayor, recorder, alderman
or magistrate; third, by a Justice or
Judge, and fourth, by means of a writ
ten cdntract, though It seems that few
people had known or cared about It.
Miss Smith and the Count's contract
reads in part as follows:
"Whereas, the. said Victor Starzenskl
and Hilda Sprague Smith have agreed
to unite in the bonds of matrimony and
become husband and wife from hence
forth; "Now, therefore, in pursuance of
the domestlo relations law, It is agreed
that the said Victor Starzenskl and Hilda
Sprague Smith do hereby from the date
of this contract become husband and wife,
ana uiey nereoy agree to assume tne mari
tal relations and obligations pertaining
thereto." l
NOT GIVEN IN MAniHAPB.
This puts Miss Smith In th'e compara
tively independent and dignified position
that Is generally supposed to be the
man's prerogative In marriage and not
the woman's; she was not being "given
In marriage"; she was giving herself;
and no more giving herself than the Count
was giving himself. But when the con
tract was signed they went to church like
anybody else.
The Count Starzenskl Is a grandson
of Count Victor Starzenskl, who was a
famous Polish patriot and general. He
was born in this country, is an engineer
for the General Electric Company, and
does not ordinarily use the title of Count,
although he Is entitled to do so.

I do not believe thoy wish deliberately to
