FREE INSTRUCTION
FOR ADULT BLIND
Miss Olivia Reichert in Charge
of Distribution of ''Moon"
Books

The Pennsylvania Home Teaching
Society and Free Circulating Library
for the Blind is the pioneer home
teaching society in the United States
and has arranged for a course of in
struction in Dauphin county. The
society was established in 1882 by the
late DR.. William Moon, the inventor
or the Moon" embossed type for the
blind. 1t sends teachers to visit and
teach the blind in their homes and
public institutions Lessons in all
types are given free of charge, en-
bossed books are loaned free of
charge and free of postage both ways
from the Society's Library, which is
deposited in the department for the
blind of the Free Library of Phila-
delphia
In 1915. the circulation of en-
oossed books was 27,S76, in all types
of embossed print, 1928 of these
being in the Moon" type, which is
peculiarly adapted to the needs of the
adult blind, to whom the services of
the teacher are given. Miss Olivia
Reichert. one of the new teachers, is
IN Dauphin county, and will remain
until all the adult blind have had an
opportunity to learn 10 read.
About two-thirds or the adult blind
are generally found to be over fifty
years of age. The age limit for
schools for the blind is usually
twenty-one years, and it is only
through Home Teaching that the
adult blind can be reached and taught.
Many learn the Moon" type in one or
two lessons.
BY sending the names of any blind
persons in Dauphin county to Miss
OllVia Reichert, ISL S. 18th St, Har-
rlsourg, Pa, you will be giving them
an opportunity to once more enjoy the
pleasure of reading.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

A letter has come to me from two
high school girls who are very much
puzzled as to the differing viewpoints
of their own generation and their
fathers Their letter reads in part:
Sister and I think that it is all
right for girl to go out every Satur-
day night with a different young fell
low no matter whether she cares for
him or not. Girls who work hard all
week can't afford to stay home Satur-
Gay evening and Sunday and are per-
fectly at liberty to get hold OF
any young man they know in a
proper way and go out with him.
Father, who, though not an edu-
Gated man, is far from being ig-
norant, argues that it is all right
to go out with an acquaintance
once in a while - but once in a
while only. He even claims that
a girl had better pay out of her
owE few pennies for her enter
tsinment rather than let any but
a real friend spend his money on
her. Now, we respect fathers
he is twenty years older than we
and hasn't the up-to-date ideas"
Yes, Father is twenty years
olderi And those twenty years have
given him poise and mental balance
and experience and the fruits of
his. observation of human nature.
Father has learned to distinguish
between excitement and pleasure.
he knows that rushing about in
search of excitement doesn't bring
happiness at all He knows that
real friendships are not cultivated
at cabarets or theaters, put in quiet
talks in the peace of a home.
What Father Knows
Father knows that a girl who is
seer out each week with a different
youth gets the reputation for being
giddy and fiighty and eXtravagant
and that sensible young men VINO
mean to work to get on in the
world will avoid her. He knows
that such a girl wears out her
youth in feverish quest for
pleasure and that she never catches
up with honest joy. Father is very
wise.
The girls of to-day are a rather
discontented, excitable set of be-
mgs. a brilliant and distinguished
)ld physician said to me recently:

WOMENS INTERESTS
GIRLS AND GOOD TIMES

The city is bonfire. People come
to it-and burn up"
A bonfire burns brightly for a
while and sends out a waNn. beauti-
full glow. 1t consumes all that
falls within its flame and leaves a
very small heap of charred ashes.
The girls of to-day actually flut-
ter like falling leaves. Premature
frost touches them, they grow with
color for awhile, the wind blows
them where it will; and at last,
sere and dry before their time, the
bonfire of the city consumes them.
No sane human being denies for
moment that youth needs color
and light joy but it needs them in
moderation, and to-day it seeks
them. immoderately. Rushing about
evening after evening and day at-
ter day in pursuit of pleasure takes
the fine edge off ones appetite for
pleasure. 1t is a law of human ma
ture that when we have enough OF
a thing - we have too much. Desire
does not end with enjoyment, and
enjoyment circles back 10 end with
desire.
Satisfy all desires just as they
come and each return of them will
mean a little less enjoyment. No
human being ever gets the same
ecSIauC BlO" from SGCOllu SISdI
experience that he got from the
first just like it The nrst time an
author sees his name in print he
reaches the heights; but gradually
seeing his name in print becomes a
matter of course. So with joy.
The girls who go out evening af-
ter evening and claim they must
have a gay time at the weekend to
make up for the hard work that
went before, come after awhile to
be rather mechanical in their en-
joyment. If they were just a little
more discriminating about going
out less frequently, and then with
selected and chosen companions,
they would get far more happiness
out of each pleasure excursion and
they would avoid the unpleasant
come back" of criticism which al
ways falls to a girls lot when she
is too much in evidence.
Father is wise in his day and
generation and wise for ours. The
girl who seeks only to enjoy = en-
joys nothing. Be wise in choosing
your pleasures and selective In
choosing the friends with whom
you enjoy them.

NEW PRESIDENT
CHANGES CHINA
Whole Spirit of Public Life
Altered; Democracy
in Its Own
Correspondence Associated Press.)

Correspondence Associated Press.)
Peking, July 31.-Li Yuan-hung's ac-
cession to the presidency has worked a
wonderful change in China. The whole
spirit of public life in Peking has been
altered. Democracy seems to have come
into it's own again. The new president
lives informally at his palace outside
Peking in an automobile with only
two soldiers to guard him.
Chinese of all factions have a high
personal regard for Ii Yuan-hung and
his life seems to be in no danger. He
moves about at will, and conducts him
self in a manner which would have
been wholly impossible for Yuan Shih
kai. The amented pesident seldom
left the palace, and was believed to
be in danger, even within it's protecting
walls. He was a man of iron, and had
ruled by military power and by that
alone. Consequently he had many Bit
ter enemies, apd few warm personal
friends. Even his closest advisers ad-
mired him most for his power than
for any personal charm.
Lii Yuan-hung is a Christian, a COM
municant of the Roman Catholic
Church. and has always been strongly
opposed to the connection of church
and State. He has at different times
openly opposed efforts to make Con-
fucianism the state religion of China,
and stands for absolute religious free
dom in the republic.
Until 1911 Ii Yuan-hung was little
known in China. H. was born in HUI
peh province in 1864, studied for six
years at the Peiyang Naval College and
served on a cruiser during the Chino
Japanese war. After the war he en-
tered military service at Nanking. and
later went to Wuchang. where he as
sisted in the organization of modern
troops under Viceroy Chang Chih- tung
For two years he stu died fortifcations
in Japan, and on his return became a
major in the cavalry. His service was
chiefly at Wuchang, the capital OF
Hupeh province, which lies on the
Yang-tse river Immediately opposite
the impotant commercial city II

He was reelected vice-president oc

Ii Yuan-hung's popularity with tn,
masses was in no way diminished by
his service under Yuan Shih Kai. Al
though he and the late president hat
ben intimate friends for years, l.
Yuan-hung absolutely refused to en-.
dorse Yuan Shih Kai's monarchial move
ment, and declined all imperial honor
which Yuan Shih Kai attempted to heal
upon him. The late president ISSUED
edicts making Ii Yuan-hung a prime,
and comforting great wealth upon him
Ii Yuan hung absolutely declined tc
accept such honors, and repeatedly ex.
pressed his disapproval of all plans t
abandon the republic. He was finally

in a palace provided for him by the
government in the best residential Sec
tiong of Peking. 1t was his desire t
return to his native province of Hupeh,
but Yuan Kai refused to grant him
permission to do so and he lived in
Peking practically as a prisoner, dur
ing Yuan Shih Kai's last months.
No other man in China is as univer-
sally beloved. as Ii Yuan-hung. He
has always enjoyed the reputation of
being absolutely honest and patriotic.
Many other leaders are more force
full, more energetic and have a better
grasp of pubic affairs. But Lii Yuan
hung is the one man who enjoys the
complete confidence of the Chinese peo-
pie. southerners as we'll as northern

Farmer Says Hudson Six
Solves Many Problems

When we kept horse and outfit"
says Dauphin county farmer who
owns Hudson Super-Six. the first
cost of which exceeded the cost of
our car, the expense of maintenance
of the horse outfit was more than a
dollar day right here on the farm.
THE horse had to be fed three
times a day. 1t had to be groomed
and exercised every day whether we
wanted to use it or not. Trips to the
blacksmith were frequent. Expense
was never-ending. Added to this was
our sympathy for the poor horse in
very hot and very cold weather
Thought of our own comfort finally
led us to purchase a Hudson Super Six.
Immediately our eyes were opened
to the greater economy of the motor
driven vehicle. 1t did not have to be
exercised. 1t cost nothing when not
in use. The upkeep was far less for
vastly greater amount of work than
that of the horse. The car was always
ready to go anywhere at any time and
get us back home again regardless of
distance at fine speed. Where formerly
20-mile drive was a hardship for
the horse and ourselves, our Super-Six
makes easy work of 100 miles, or even
200 miles. in day. And we ride in
perfect comfort"

make an exception in this case and

Major John Mcbride was found

Thursday morning, although an
nouncement of his execution was not
made for two days.
Two others, Thomas Hunter and
William Cosgrave, were also found
guilty and sentenced to death, but the
General commanding the military
forces in Ireland commuted their SEN

the Beers finally surrendered he made
his escape and took refuge in Paris,
where he later married Miss Maude
Come, known in Home Rule circles in
Ireland as the Irish Joan of Arc. In
1905 Major and Mrs. Mcbride deliv-

States on Irish politics.
His wife was Protestant who later
entered a convent in Paris to study
the Catholic faith previous to her mar.
riage with Major Mcbride. She gave
the British authorities much trouble
on account Of her activity for Irish
independence.
1t might be said Of Major Mcbride
that he was born revolutionist. He
was born in Westport, County Mayo,
forty-nine years ago, of a father who
was an ardent Irish patriot and he
was reared in the atmosphere of re.
volt His immediate relations, the
Gallaghers and the Gills especially,
were active in Irish movements and
many were driven from Ireland at
the time of the rising in 81.
At the opening of the war he was
a mining engineer in South Africa
and organized the Irish Brigade in
johannesburg. When the Boer rebels
were granted amnesty Mcbride, who
had been in exile for several years
went to London and from there to
Paris. He resumed his activity in
Irish political affairs in Dublin.

Father Dempsey also stated that in
the very near future he will celebrate
a special memorial mass for the Irish
patriots who died in the present revo-

Ryan opening the meeting as tenn

national organization. He then spoke
on the present situation in Ireland.
He drew a parallel between the proc

officers of the republic of Ireland and
