the Interest OF the Blind. said he was the
son OF "a blind man anr had been with
blind people so much that he knew they

them to learn to do something. II Is not

occupation is not easy for people that
are not blind IL a number OF lawyers
were suddenly obliged 10 preach, or TO
practice medicine they might not be very
successful at first: and the blind should
be helped along the lines OF former en-
ployment.
"Why not put all the blind in a home
or school? Because they learn more from
contact with those who can see than they
can from each other"
Specimens OF weaving on hand looms
were exhibited. also map invented by
blind mar, which cannot scratch the map
boards. and can be detached from the
handle and easily cleaned
The Boston society has helped a num-
ber OF blind people TO work I'm factories

been satisfactory in quality; but they
necessarily accomplish lest than those
who can see. and consequently earn less
Mr.. Campbell thought three dollars per
week earned among seeing people better
than more earned In a shop for the blind

fore more blind operatives become regular
employees wherever work is done by au-
tomato processes

better.
This linguistic difficulty, however
divides the crowd so that there is no
difficulty in distinguishing the autoists
from the plain people-the ones that
ride in autos from the ones that would
like to. But the English-speaking por-

being able to see, even If 1t don't

Only Lack Porter
Some of the cars shown at the
Coliseum and armory look almost as
though all they lacked was a Pullman
porter and buffet. And while special
attention has been paid during the last
year or two to fomfort and luxury in
the bodies no less attention has been
given to the kind of comfort that comes
from easier springs. To get this result
the springs generally have been
heightened, for easy riding" springs
are said to introduce much more COM
fort into long-distance tours.
The elaboration of finish of the 1906
cars is much greater than in previous
years, and in this respect, at least.
there is little more to accomplish.
There is on exhibition at the Coliseum
a car the painting of which involved
twenty-one different operations and
coats before the final varnish coat was
put on. The accessories, which com
prise the lamps, horns and other de-
tachable features not parts of the ma
chine proper, are shown In vast pro-
fusion and of the finest workmanship,
all going toward making a beautiful
completed car.
