sIghtIess Wizard ls Author OF Most
Wonderful Book-PrInted In
Brallie Typo.

VIENNA notable achievement for
the benefit Of the blind is the first
French-German dictionary printed In
Braille type. This work demanded an
extraordinary amount of minute and
laborious precision. and was carried
out by Herr Karl Satzenhofer, who ia
himself blind, at the printing works
Of the Vienna Institute for the Educa-
ton OF the Blind.
II is the we'll known Lagenscheidt
dictionary which has been put into
Braille type. The main difficulty was
that In order to economic space the
work had to be printed In what is
known as the Abbreviated type. which
in France is different from the system
followed in Germany. and called for
an intimate knowledge Of both sys-
TENS on the part of the translator.
Even with the use of the Abbreviated
type the work consists Of Ave ponder
GUS folio volumes. Among the first
orders for the new work was one from
Helen Keller.

thought and serious reflection in the
article headed, "Is the Primaries a
Success?" found in another column.
The writer touches up the situation in
a way TO make one almost believe that
the old way under the convention sys-
tenn is far preferable. There is no ques-
ton but that il had its faults and short
comings, but the present method is far
from perfect and is open to just criti-
cism. There is room for improvement.

MICHIGAN FAIR FIRST TO

After the Stirring Exhibition Elks'

Having given exhibitions lasting
three days in Detroit. during Elks'
week, making tremendous hit, Avi.
ators Brookins and Hoxsey are keen
about playing return date In De

Gath. They are scheduled to make
four flights daily during Fair week,
and now that they are familiar with
the exhibition field and the physical
conditions they will be prepared to
perform startling things in their
strange air craft.
Brookins is the holder of the
worlds altitude record made a few
weeks ago at Atlantic City, where,
before 100000 people, he flew out
over the ocean and attained a height
OF $500 feet. He had thrilling time

making large swooping circles, but
always pointing his craft downward
at a sharp angle.
It took him over an hour and q
half to ascend, but he came down IN
seven minutes, landed beautifully on
the beach, and then tainted.
Brookins is known among his team
mates as a daring and spectacular
operator. Arrangements will be made
to take measurements during his
flights at the Fair grounds, and he
has expressed the determination OF
breaking his own record II the wealth
or conditions are at all favorable.
Arch Hoxsey, the other aviator
who held the crowds spellbound dur
ing the Elks' week exhibition, will
also be present during the Fair and
because of his past performances can
be counted upon to be strong at
traction. Waving his hand at the
crowds, Hoxsey went sailing down
the track, lodging in between lines

The immense throngs rose 70 their
feet and mighty roar of approval
went UP. Hoxsey smiled and bowed
his thanks for the reception and then,
after his plane had been mounted
again on the monorail, went up Inn,
mediately and furnished more thrills
of the same order.
| Hoxsey Is finished performer, and
did seemingly impossible stunts In
his biplane with the greatest ease
and great style. His appearance In
Detroit again will mean packing the
stands each day.
Throughout all the aeroplans ex-
hibitions there is, of course. the ever.

those unaccustomed to watching the
flights of aeroplanes, time after time
It appears that the strange machine
has turned-turtle and is falling to the
ground. Hoxsey never has had an
accident which resulted seriously,
and, therefore. he is able to do start
ling work without nervousness.

is THE PRIMARY A SUCCESS

Il i "A
Editor The Banner:
Now that the people of Michigan
have had an opportunity of INDUCING
in the primary luxury in all that the
term implies, the question arises in the
minds of all who follow the game of
politics TO the least extent, "ls the pri-
mary law a SUGGEST"
We have seen three of Michigan S
able men going up and down the state
from the Lake Superior country TO the
Indiana line, heaping up vituperation
and calumny on the other fellows, until
we are unable in our own mind To tell
whether or not we should vote for any
of them. So il is in matters pertaining
TO the other offices. In the canvass for
the nomination for United States sem
ator there have been base insinuations
cast up against each of the candidates
and the one with the most money was
better enabled To make state canvass
than the other with limited funds. So
also in the congressional canvass the
lie has been passed between both aspir-
ants, and ii is evident that 'somebody
lied.u
Then again, ii has been demonstrated
that the average voter is uninterested
in the primary end of the matter; this
is attested by the small vote which is
usually polled in the primaries. 1t is
not the voice of the people that selects
the candidate today, but a portion of
the people who have become welded To
one candidate or the other by the assid-
uous attacks on the other fellow.
Under the convention system in vogue
few years since the voters met in eau
Gus and chose the best men in the ward
for delegates TO county conventions and
lhey III ....-1rn selec.od .1fe - rS-,! a1teh III
the state conventions To be sure ther,
was an occasional miscarriage of GU
wishes and the almighty dollar welded
subtle influence at some of them, bu
on the whole was ii not better system
than the one which we now have? L
has increased the cost of elections a
least hundred fold and is there any
good coming out of it?
1t seems To us that if the present sys
tenn must maintain there is wide room
for improvement SO that reputation
shall not be sacrificed on the altar o
political activity, and that the people
"God bless EN- should be allowed Il
go TO the polls without having thei
minds polluted by political scandal, ant
in the sanctity of the booth express hi
choice untrammeled by anything tina
may be said or published in partisan
press TO excite them TO uncanny atti
tudes regarding some chosen son. w,
can not help believing that the primary
system as now inaugurated has proven
itself "A farce and that if it can not b
remedied, the old fashioned convention
that gave us such men as Austin Blair
Hazen s. Pingree, Chas. NJ. Croswel
and few others we might name, would
seem good enough TO return TO, ever
though there were bad features in con
nection with that system.
