Absence of More Reading
Matter Makes Life Tedious.
Says Supt. PetrO.

Frank Petro. the recently installed
superintendent of the county infirm-
airy, who is making a study of social
conditions there. believes one of the
first needs of the inmates is newspa-
pers and magazines.
There are more than forty inmates
and although a few of them cannot
read either from blindness or senility.
most of them have nothing to do in
the evenings except converse.
Petro will endeavor to furnish more
papers and magazines as the few mag
azines that friends send to an inmate
are passed from hand to hand like
treasures. The Palladium is the only
newspaper regularly received at the
farm.
A few inmates who are able to work
occasionally seem happier than those
who are crippled or are unable to
work. Many of them are too senile to
get far from the houses and few are
crippled and unable to move at ALL

Democrats Hold Effort of
Republican Leaders to

WASHINGTON, April 4-The SEN
ate today took up the Panama canal

spite from this issue, occasioned by
the continuous executive session for
the confirmation of Winthrop NJ. Dan
lels, of New Jersey, as a member of
the Interstate Commerce commission
With the presidents appointment up
held the senators settled down to
steady consideration of the tolls ques-
ton
Senator Chamberlain expressed the
opinion today that opposition to the
repeal of the exemption clause is
gaining ground in the senate. Admin
istrat1on members, however, asserted
they are not alarmed by the efforts
of Republican leaders to force the Re-
publican senators into a solid align
ment against the measure and con-
tinued their confident prediction of a
safe majority for the repeal
The senators began to speculate
about the effect of the announcement
of federal reserve districts and cities
upon the vote in the senate. The
work of the organization committee
which is presumed to have the ap-
proval of the president has caused
much criticism among substantial
minority Of the senate and this may
1t is believed, have some effect on the
repeal Of the tolls exemption.
The confirmation of Mr. Daniels as
interstate commerce commissioner,
also is regarded as a possible factor in
the tolls situation, especially as Re
publicans are threatening to revolt
against executive sessions
Senator Ashursts declaration in the
senate that the people of the country
were endangered by the appointment
of reactfonaries to the Interstate

the city itself began to unfold to her
mind and sight. Business and office
buildings stalked before her, lighted
theatres attracted her attention and
for a while she was in a light uncom-
mon to her eyes.
The flashing electric signs present
ed puzzle. The street cars seemed
quite different from those of her
younger days. Even the youth and
gaiety of the streets seemed to watt
her back into past years.
Smile after smile lighted her
wrinkled face as each new wonder
stalked before her. How happy the
crowds, jostling through the streets,
seemed to one who had been shut in
forever a quarter of century.
Invalid Twenty-six Years.
Twenty-six years ago Mrs. Painter
became an invalid. Paralysis attacked
her, and from her knees down she
lost use of her limbs. Since that time
she has ben confined to her home. She
does the house work in her three
room home by walking around on her
knees, but even with special leather
pads the knees at times become quite
sore.
Mr.. Painter has but one arm, and
is at work the greater part of the
time earning money for the upkeep of
the little family, consisting of father,
mother and one son.
Since the entrance of the wheeled
chair into her life Mrs. Painter has
become changed woman. Although
she was CHEEKY in her former infirm-
tiles. she now is even more CHEEKY
and appreciatfve of life.
