Major Rowan and Mrs. Rowan are well
known and liked in Salt Lake. The ma
jor while stationed at Fort Douglas,
made many friends. He was a cOnspicu-
GUS figure at the fort, as well as in club
and social circles. His health has not
been good for many months, and when he
left Utah a few weeks ago with Mrs
Rowan, it was with the understanding
that he was to be retired from active ser
vice.
While Major Rowan was gaining friends
by the score in Salt Lake, Mrs. Rowan
was leading a campaign for better edu-
cation of the blind and it was due solely
to her efforts that in the public library
a room was set apart for blind readers,
books being purchased for their benefit.
Her work in the interest of the blind in
mates of the state school at Ogden at
