which is being made in the ball field.
The sod has been ripped off of the

are taking good bit of money, but
they will improve the baseball facili-
ties here, ard give us something wOr-

Like many other blind people, the
late Mr.. Milburn, chaplain OF Con
gress. could identify people by their
voices even when he did not know
them well. or had not seen them for
years. This is not strange when we
remember that Helen Keller. who is
deaf and blind, can meet ten people at
once whom she has never seen" be
fore. and when they shake hands with
her to say good-by, can call them all
by their right names, identifying them
by the feeling Of their hands. The
Boston Transcript tells a story which
illustrates the power among the blind
to recognize voices.
Once. when Mr.. Milburn was out
driving, a man stopped the carriage
and beckoned Mr.. Milburn's friend to
come across the street He went, and
the stranger said:
when l was Is or 20 years old
Doctor Milburn was In the habit OF
dining with my father. I want to see
if he will know me by my voice"
The two men went back 10 Mr.. Mil
burns carriage. The stranger said:
"Dr. Milburn, do you know meY'
yes, sir, you are the son Of my old
friend, the publisher. Mr.. Harper.
Mr.. Mlburn had not heard the voice
for more than thirty years.
Not long before Mr.. Milburn died
Bishop Cranston visited him and en-
tered the room without having hi:
name announced When he spoke, Mr.
MiIburn called him by his name They
had not met for twenty-nine years.

that their offenses were not Of such
heinous character as those OF the
non-commissloned officers. In one case,
however, an officer was sentenced to
two months imprisonment and was
dismissed from the service. The heavi-
