Skillful blind readers can pass their

but they cannot maintain this speed.
This is because the sensitive nerves OF
the finger tips become fatigued more
easily than the eyes. Older people sell
dom use more than one finger in read
ing. Blind college students are usually
able to read with two or more fingers
on each hand, thus increasing their en-
durance. The amount of reading done
by the blind varies with the individual
and the amount of time he devotes TO
it. Some read three good-sized books
each week. while others may be montns
in completing only one.

by acting as a depository for all xmas

from the large number of visitors VINO
are continually coming to the library.
This exhibit includes embrolder1es,
knitting, crocheting; hand-woven rugs,
brushes, brooms, printed matter ana
many novelties invented or designed by
blind workers. The quality OF eacn
article makes it quite worth the price
asked for it, aside from the satls1ac-

capacity as those who can see, al
though the proof Of their capability Is
increasing. In a competitive
examination for the position of tele-
phone operator blind girls have made
higher averages than those who could
see. This is because their attention
was not distracted by anything in sight
and because they almost invariably
have developed a keener sense of hear
ing.
Several years ago, as an experiment,
a firm of boxmakers in Ohio took two
blind girls upon it's force. Within two
months each was making third more
boxes than the other operators. Their
had made their hands and
fingers more dextrous, and they con-
centrated their attention more closely
upon their work because they could not

20 say OF Boys and Boy Scouts
The Boy Scout is inspired to be bold
ana courageous, and quick-witted and to
DO things but the things he does are
good; that IS, they are useful. They are
rhe kind of things he could not do If left |
to himself. because he would mot know
now. SO the Boy Scout has all of the
thrill and interest of the old bad bow.
with all the inward satisfaction of the
new good boy.
The typical old-fashioned bad boy had
the finest qualities, only he put them to
She worst uses. The typical old-fash-
toned good boy was a poor spirited crea-
Sure, whose only real claim to goodness
vas that he did no harm. He was rightly
despiSed by his more vigorous contem-
poraries, and because he was called good.
they came also to despise goodness.
The new-fashioned good bov. or the
Boy Scout, not only has fine qualities. c
but he is led to put them to fine uses. - I
Baden-Powelps distinctive contribu c

IDEALS he added the idea of giving daily
service to the common good. Thus should s.
service become not only a vague ideal. K
out a definite daily habit Service as a u

SHORTAGE OF SHIPS

AS result of the war the grain
raisers of Eastern Washington fear
that the boats available for the trans
portation of wheat will not supply the
demand, and they have asked the rail-
roads to reduce rates on wheat so that
they can ship part of the crop by
rail to Atlantic ports. This can be
done only by permission of the inter-
state commerce commission. The pub
lie service commission after taking
the matter up with the railroads, has
issued a. letter saying that in case the
railroads to reduce the rates, that the
commission will not consider it as es-
tablishing a precedent, and will not
attempt to use the low rate as a ba-
for establishing such rates in the
future.

No Real Profits in War.

The European belligerents, especial
ly the two that are interfering most
with our commerce. are convinced
that we are getting rich out OF the
war. and that conviction has a good
deal to do with their petulant treat
ment OF our trade protests.
II we are getting rich it isn't mere
ly because we're profiting. even unin-
tentionally, from the misfortunes Of
the warning powers, Most American
economists agree that we should have
beer in better business condition
than we are if there had been no
war. That view is supported by the
fact that every hint of peace sends
up the prices OF American securities
in the stock market. and every event
that seems To portend prolnngation
OF the struggle has "bearish" nflu.
