REPORT BLIND BABIES.

Ut is not generally known that
the State of Tennessee has passed
q law that gives special care, main
tenance and education to the blind
from the day they are blinded.
This law empowers the State
Board of Education to provide for
%the suitable care, maintenance
and instruction Of blind children
of school age, who are not eligible
to the tennessee School for the
Blind for lack of training, and who
need special kindergarten training
to prepare ther, for admission IN
said school for the blind, residing
in this State, who may be born
blind, or become blind, in any case
where by lack of means the parent
or parents of such children are un-
able to properly care for, maintain
and.educate such children"
It is at last fully realized that e
child blinded in infancy is not like
ly to live to what has been consld-
cred the school age, eight years.
without becoming crippled both
saentally aud physically because OF
lack Of special care that should be
given in the frst years Of the chlld's
life. Most of the babies die before
thew reach the age of eight years,
acd those who manage to exlst,
meet with a worse fate by becom-
ing feeble-minded. i,
Therefore, mothers, take note OF
this new step in education Tennes-
gee has made, and report your blind
babies to Mrs. Cynthia Westover
Alden, president general OF the
International Sunshine Society
and founder of the home 20 Fifth
Avenue, New York City. This So
cietv has succeeded in getting this
bill made law.
You will receive prompt stten-
t;on and booklets and reports on
the care of the baby blind will be
sant free to those who wish them.

won the Venice Grand Prix Race, making a
nonstop run.
Billy Carlson, in another Maxwell Racing Car,
finished second, few seconds behind Oldfield.
A short time previous, Oldfeld won the
Corona Race,-3OO miles at sc $40 miles per
hour, without single stop.
Carlson won the San Diego.-3O0 niles
without stop.
These Maxwell Racing Cars were built by
the same designers-the same chief engineer
that build the regular Maxwell Cars, and the
same Maxwell Laboratory-test heat-treated
steel was used in them that is used in the
regular stock Maxwell Touring Cars.

Think Of owning one Of these same Max

to, over any kind of roads-up any kind of

Remember-every 1915 Maxwell is an exact
duplicate of the regular stock Maxwell Tour

Billy Carlson broke the worlds records up Mt.
Hamilton and Mt Wilson.
That is the kind of hill-clmber you get
when you get Maxwell.

Cooperation in the movement to
make a survey of the number or "nlte
women out of work and who want work,
with A view to getting them positions
quickly, was the decision reached Sat
urday night by the District of Column
bia Federation of Women's Clubs at its
meeting in the Raleigh Hotel. The as
sociation also decided to add It's
strength to a movement to have Con-
sress and the board of education pro-
vide for matrons in the public schools
to look after the welfare of the little
girls. The federation also adopted d
resolution petitioning the board OF ed
perance teachers in the public schools
of the District of Columbia.
Mrs E. Whitaker, president OF the
Hods Ike pers' Alliance, introduced the
resolution which has for its purpose the
aiding of white women to OBTAIN posi-
desire of the alliance to have the clubs

TO TAKE UP QUESTION
OF SUNDAY COMING HERE.
Pastors and Laymen's Committees to
Hold Joint Meeting and Arrange
for Church Conference.

Arrangements whereby the question
of inviting Evangelist w. A. Sunday to
the National Capital will be put
squarely up to all the churches of the
District are to be made at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon at the joint meeting OF
the two special committees. appointed.
respectively, by the laymen and by the
Federation of Washington Pastors.
Rev. Clarence A. Vincent is chairman
of the subcommittee from the pastors
federation, and William Knowles Coo
per of that representing the laymen's
organizations.
The purpose of the meeting is to fix
upon date and to call thereon gen
eral conference of all the churches of
the District. each one to be represented
by its pastor and one layman from its
congregation, through designation
either by his pastor or by the church
body. This all-embracing conference
is to discuss and finally decide upon
the question of inviting Mr.. Sunday
here for a series of revivals similar to
those he has held in many other cities
of the United States. If the decision be
favorable the date and all details of
up.
The calling of this general confer
ence is necessitated by the fact that
several denominations are rather slen-
dory represented in the Federation of
Washington Pastors. Perhaps thirty or
thirty five of the ministers of WASH
ington do not hold membership there
in, and MIR. Sunday insists upon unan-
imous invitation from all the reli
giouS orga nj tiOns Of d city before he
is willing to consider arranging for u
series of meetings.

OLD WHEELS REPLACED.
Eight New Ones Placed on Carriages
Supporting Guns in Park.

Two new wheels of regulation pat
tern have been placed. on each of the
four carriages which support the his
toric guns that stand at each corner
of the pedestal of the equestrian statue
of Andrew jackson in the center of
Lafayette Park. Through many years
of exposure to the elements in all sorts
of weather, the old wheels of the four
gun carriages had reached such a state
of decay that 1t was feared that they
might break down under the heavy
weight they carried. Moreover, their
sorry appearance could no longer be
concealed by either paint or repairs.
The eight new wheels were obtained
from the Rock Island arsenal in Illi-
nois at an expense of less than $50.
Their installation has added u touch of
neatness to the small circular parking
which surrounds the statue of "Old
Hickory"
