BLINDNESS PROVES
SMALL HANDICAP

With B. Franklin Parker, piano
tuner extraordinary. blindness Is not

the Washington Herald. And B.
Franklin Parker is blind. totally He
regards his blindness as one of the
conditions placed upon him In the
game of life, and he has faced the
condition so long 1t has lost Its hor-

If b. Franklin Parker were merely
a blind man there would be no JUS
tification for a story about him. AT
the best 1t would be "sob" story
and 1t would be more distinctive a
story than could be written about
any other sightless person. But b.
Franklin Parker Is a character. He
has a personality all his own. 1t is
all the more remarkable because he
is blind as a bat.

ASPHYXIATING BOMBS
$ DROPPED ON Venice
NEW TERRORS ARE ADDED TO
kyHE AERIAL RAIDS OF THE
AUSTRIANS.

The use of asphyxiating gas in the
bombs dropped on Venice has added
a new terror to these aerial raids.
These asphyxiating bombs have been
used in the trenches, but not until
the air raid of November is was the
deadly gas used in bombs dropped
on cities, so far as is known.
The air raid ON the 18th was not
made known at the time, even Rome
and other cities not knowing that it
had occurred, as the military author
titles threw a rigid Gordon of silence
around the city. 1t was not serious
raid. in people injured or damage
done, but its chief importance was in
bringing for the first time the shower
of asphyxiating bombs.
The raid occurred near the arse
f, nal, which is the chief point of at
tack for these raids. None of the
bombs, however, fell inside the arse
ma grounds. But outside there is
an extensive quarter occupied by the
poorer people with narrow streets
and low houses. It was in this Sec
ton that the bombs fell. spreading
ting effect of their fumes among the
civilian population. Only one death
occurred but a great number of the
moor people suffered from the para
lying effect of the gases.
The effect of the gas is described
as singularly lasting upon the organs
affected, and on the vitality Of the
people stricken. Some of the pa
tients remain in a semi-conscious
state for four or five days, the face
taking ON a greenish pallor. The re-
coyery is very slow after this, the
gases appearing to carry a poison
through the whole system.
The appearance of the gas bombs
has changed the feeling here about
these air raids. At first the people
were on the watch for the explosion
and over such a wide area the indi-
vidual danger was comparatively
slight.
Crowds gathered and watched the
hostile airships, but now the wide
spread effect of a gas bomb has terri
med the poorer people and they flee
to places of refuge whenever the
rumor circulates that the aircraft are
coming. The city authorities also
were at first principally concerned In

II the proposed plan Of national

wise than lend additional stimulus
to business. but when 1t has been
completed and peace has replaced
war in Europe, what then?
Before the outbreak OF tn Euro

wrecked business. The fact is still
fresh in the memory of Uncle Sam

return to a Protective Tariff system

mustache that you cannot forget. He
is between forty and forty.five years
old. In height he is about Ave feet
seven. Mr.. Parker has been with
Drop for ten or twelve years. He is
piano tuner of rare ability. There
are not many in the city better than
| he.
When Parker Is given an order to
tune a piano in Chevy Chase or An
acosta or Alexandria he grasps his
heavy walkink sticks and walks
straight tot he corner for a car. He
always walks alone. He takes spe-
cial pride, in the way he gets along
with his cane. OF course, he has to
ask whether he is getting on the
right car, but that is all the assis-
lance he needs. He can find any
house in any part of the city. After
he has found the house his ear does
the rest. Not only can Parker tune
pianos, but he can repair them.
Parker has grown up with pianos.
He knows how they are made and
how they are tuned. He can play
them just about as well as he can
tune them.
Parker's principal pastime is fall
ing down manholes and cellars. 1t is
all because of his independence. In
his wanderings around the city by
himself he frequently tumbles down
an opening, but he seems to be es-
pecially adapted to such occurren-
ces, for he always climbs out, and
walks away with only few scratches
To offer a hand of assistance or a
word of caution to Parker is to awak-
en- his wrath.
Parker is seldom pessimistic. He
gets nearly al the joy that can be
squeezed out of life. He reads much.
1t is a comon Occurrence for him to
walk into the music store with a nov
ell under his arm. He is enabled to
read classics as well as modern fic-
ton by the use of raised letters. His |
friends read then ewspapers to him !
to KEEP him posted on current events.
Parker is a scholar. He comes |
from an old New England family. |
He studied at a number of technical
schools in and near Boston. For a |
while he studied law. He is well
read and well informed and he is as
pleasant a man to chat with as can
be found in days journey.
Parker has been baseball fan
from the time he was big enough to
hold bat and support a catcher's
NIT on his hand. When ten years
old he was struck on the nose square
ly between the eyes with baseball.
The blow made him blind.
B. Franklin Parker can make a
typewriter hum. He uses the touch
system. 1t is the only system he can
use. He has a rather large cores
pondence and he answers all his let
tiers himself on the typewriter.
As for cards.. Parker is about as
good at them as he is at piano tun-
ing. He plays with perforated cards,
and he feels for a full house or
royal flush with ajoy that not every
one can claim. Parker plays all the
games-whist, bridge, euchre, five
hundred, rum, seven up, hearts, polk
er and the rest of them.
Parker wouldn't think of working
in the summer. He spends his sum-
mers up North. He quits work in
June and goes to Groton, Mass, where
his mother and brother live. Along
about September 1, when it COM
mences to get little chilly up in
Massachusetts, Parker comes back
to Washington and to work. Oh,
