ANSWERS
GIVEN AUDIENCE
BY MISS KELLER

and seems to hear their signs of won
der and admiration AZ she tells them
/ her joyous story of reblrth and up
lift into world OF form and color.
OF sight and sound. Her words come
slowly as II weighed carefully, but
not haltingly as il with great eff
fort.
Helen Keller. who spoke on Hap
piness," has overcome so many OBJ
stacles in her career and has &C
complished so many wonderful &C
Movements that her at last having
learned to speak seems but n natural
browning OF her years of labor. This
has been her great task. however. and
has been the result only Of years OF
unparalleled patience and effort. II
is said by great aural surgeons TO
be the greatest individual achieve
ment in the whole history Of educa-
ton.
Full of Sunshine
Being able TO voice the thoughts OF
her active brain. Helen Keller gives
message that is full of a sunshine
which she in her blindness sees more
fully than do those who have sight,
II is q message addressed to those
who. having eyes. see not. and hav-
ing hears. hear not. for no one can
hear Helen Keller's optimism and
cheerfulness without being thankful
for what are deemed to be the ordi-
nary faculties of life.
The name of Helen Keller can new
er be separated from that Of Mrs.
Macy (Anne NJ. Sulllvan) the teach
err and companion OF twenty-six years,
who opened the gates for her to the
outside world. One hardly knows
whom to admire the more, the schol-
ar or teacher. As they have never
been separated these many years. SO
they are not separated on the lecture
platform.
First Communication.
Mrs. Macy spoke first, telling Of
how she came to teach Helen Keller.
how she first was able to commune
cate with the child's mind through a
natural craving for doll, then how
other words and ideas como one by
one, and how, finally. one day, the
whole system of finger spelling dawn
ed on Helen Keller. and the barrier
to the outside world was passed.
1t was still difficult going. but Miss
Keller's indomitable will and Mrs.
Mays patience mastered all. The
desire to speak was the hardest Of
all to teach, for every vocal move
ment had to be learned and initiated
by Miss Keller.
Only after twenty years was she
able to make herself heard and un-
derstood by large audiences. But she
can speak and she uses her new power
to spread cheer and happiness. When
Mrs. Macy explains all Of these pre-
liminary stages. an explanation that
is of the proioundest interest, Helen
Keller is introduced. and by her
teachers side, she delivers her mes
sage. This Is the most interesting
part of the lecture for it reveals best
the acuteness and auickness OF her
mind.

World Famous Girl, Berett of
Two Senses, Gives a Lee
ture Here.

One OF the interesting features of
the lecture given Saturday night in
the Masonic auditorium by Miss
Helen Keller. the celebrated and
learned deaf and blind girl. was the
clever answering OF questions pro-
pounded to her at random from her
large audience.
The questions were communicated
to Hiss Keller by her faithful friend
and teacher. Mrs. John Macy, through
the medium Of finger telegraphy and
also by means Of lip movements felt
by the hand Of the remarkable young
woman. The audience could readily
tell when Miss Keller grasped the
full meaning of question, because
OF the CLEAN Of understanding that
lightened her face.
Advocate of Peace.
What about President Wilson's
program OF national preparedness? %
some one asked her.
Il am opposed to 1t. because all
the nations that were ready for 1t
are now at war;" she replied.
What is the most civilized nation
OF the world?" was another Ques-
ton.
China; because 1t is not at war"
Can you distinguish colors?"
We'll, 1t is easy to distinguish
green when talking to some persons.
This Jest aroused storm OF good
natured laughter. Strangely enough
Miss Keller always paused until her
audience finished its laughter. She
explained that she could tell whether
an audience was laughing by the yIb-
rations Of the air.
A Better Huntsman.
Other questions and their clever
answers follows:
What is your opinion OF ex-Presi-
dent ROOSEVELT"
Il think he is better bear trap
per than president.
What about President Wilson,"
"He is n very good man."
what was the most difficult thing
for you to accomplish"

phasis.
What is your avorite flowers"

Miss Keller here distinguished DIFF
ierent flowers in large boquet.
Seems TO See and Hear.
] The charm of Helen Keller lies not
so much In what she does as in the
manner of doing It. When speaking
in public she seems to really look at
her audience with her sightless eyes

Point in the Selection of
Committeeman.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 12--Attor-
ney General a. A. Lilly replying to a
letter Of inquiry from George H. Phil
lips, chairman of the Ohio county
Republican executive committee,
gives as his opinion that where there
is city Of over 10000 population in
magisterial district, the city wards
are the unit for selecting the mem
bers of the county executive commit
tee. The remainder of the district is
the unit FOR selecting the district
committeeman.
The new primary law for West
Virginia provides that the county
committee shall consist OF two mem
bers from each magisterlal district
except that in all cities OF 10000 pop
ulation or more there shall be one
additional member of the committee
from each ward. In Wheeling the
ward lines are different from the
magisteral lines. The attorney gen.
eral says that the real solution of the
problem should be made by action in
the courts.
