To most persons nothing except

when to this affection is added that OF
absolute deafness then Is the ''lOne

As general rule, blind persons nee
essarily lead lives Of comparative idle
ness, and this is productive of both
physical and mental suffering. Doubly
helpless is the blind deaf mute, for

Another case is that Of a young clerk
who drank white whisky from
friends recently filled flask and was
totally and irreparably blind the next
morning because the whisky was adul-
terated with rectifed wood alcohol.
The inhalation of the fumes Of wood
alcohol also causes blindness. This
usually occurs in those varnish indus
solvent for shellac - for example, in
vanishing the inside Of beer watts, var
nishing lead pencils and furniture.
Since industrial or denatured alcohol
(untaxed grain alcohol made undrinka-
BILE by the addition Of wood alcohol and
benzine) can be used in practically all
manufacturing processes where wood
alcohol is now employed and is safer
and no more expensive. there is no
longer any legitimate reason for the
present wide use Of wood alcohol.
However. the use Of wood alcohol
would be robbed Of its terrors If it
were used In the presence of adequate
ventilation.
Two men were recently killed and
one blinded in New York city while
vanishing beer watts because a ventila-
tor was not attached to the watts, while
another man was blinded and one kill
ed because the necessary thirty min
utes in the open air was reduced to
twenty minutes.
The general ignorance which prevails
in regard to the poisonous nature of
wood alcohol is evidenced by the lack
Of legal restrictions of its use. In nc
state in this country is there a. law re-
quiring adequate ventilation in indus
tries where wood alcohol is used.
while in very few states is wood alco
hol classified as poison and SO la
beed
There was recently presented to the
New York state legislature bill en-
anating from the state factory investi-
eating commission providing for more
stringent labelling Of all forms Of wood
alcohol sold in the state.

CURIOUS NORTH SEA ISLAND.
Cliffs Of Heleoland Wore Largely Built
by Man.

Helgoland, the tiny island in the
north sea, which Germany proposes to
turn into a great station for her air
ships, is one Of the most curious is
lands in the world.
Its towering cliffs, for instance, are
largely artificial. Some years ago there
was grave fear that the island would
soon be eaten away entirely by the
waves from the southwest, but $5.000,-
600 has been spent on raising a mas
sive cliff Of granite on this exposed
side.
On those parts Of the coast where
the red porous rock Of the genuine
cliffs has been too badly honeycombed
by the seas hundreds Of thousands Of
tons Of cement have been used to
strengthen the face.

NEW STATE SCHOOL
LAW TO Be TESTED
Compulsory Attendance Clause
Is Unconstitutional, Attor-
ney Declares.

SUMMIT, Dec. S.-Complications
that will involve the constitutionality
Of the State school law of 1918 are
likely to arise as the result of the
filing with Police Justice Alfred w.
Hicks by School Attendance Officer
Miss Bessie Hatch of three COM
plants against parents in local school
districts for inattendance of their
children. John b. Walsh, a lawyer,
OF this place, expressed an opinion
today that certain clauses in the law
concerning the compulsory attend
ance of children at school are so
worded that they are uneonstitu-
tional.
According to one OF the provisions
in the State law, parents or guar
dams who fail to send their children
to school shall be considered disor-
derby persons. It is the contention
of the lawyer that a person may not
be deemed disorderly until he has
been found to be so by a court.
Another clause provides a fine of
not less than So or more than $25 for
the violation of the compulsory at
tendance law. 1t has been proved
however, that no provision has been
made by the law for the collection of
the fine after it has been imposed. In
case of the conviction of the three
persons on trial now it Is probable
that the police justice will be in the
peculiar, position of not being able
to enforce a sentence imposed by him.

The Catholics of Deawanna. for

thorities, in pursuance of the author
ity vested in them by their constit-
uents, agreed to the sale of the prop
erty to the church for the sum of
