DEAF MUTE IS EXPERT FLORICULTURIST

Miss Elizabeth Kenealy, a 15-year-
old girl, is creating a sensation at
the school because of her wonderful
success in raising flowers and Vege-
tables.
In MILDLY blouse and dark skirt,
Miss Elizabeth works in her gardens,
one at home and the other at school,
producing daisies three times the size
of the ordinary flowers, and beets
that make the average vegetable look
like radishes in size.
Elizabeth is striving hard. to mas
ter the sounds of the English Ian
guage and is making unusual prog
ress, but she finds the language of
the flowers much more simple. and
expressive.
She is planning to make a speciality
of flowers, making horticulture her
life vocation.
Although Elizabeth has been at
the school only three years, she is
able to articUlate and readily under
stands all that is said to her.

OF course, what those department.
store managers mean is that they are
not opposed to labor organization so
long as the clerks don't organize.
One reason bricklayers, carpenters,
electricians and other workers get
two or three times what store clerks
get is that they are organized, and
are proud of it. The clerks are wage
slaves because they are not organic
ed. Whatever they get from their
employers is a handout.
Perhaps it would help some if we
could turn that garbage disposal
problem over to a state board of pub
lie utilities. We have home rule as
