PERKINS LAW IS
BRINGING RESULTS

Des Moines, Feb. IA circum.
stance came to light which illustrates
most graphically the wonderful ser.
vice that Is being performed through
the instrumentality of the Perkins law
for the relief Of diseased and crippled
children whose parents are not able
to provide proper treatment and care.
A little girl who attends one Of the
schools of Des Moines and who be-
longs to good family in humble cir
cumstances, contracted. at the school
house where she attends, one of the
worst Affections than can befall any
one, namely gonorrhoeal infection Of
the eye. No one connected with the
child's family was in any way to
blame. The family doctor was sent
for. He recognized what was the mat
ter, and he knew that unless the child
could have scientific treatment and
persistent care for quite a while, she
would go blind. The parents were not
able to provide it. He knew the pro-
visions of the Perkins act. and hur-
ried over to the headquarters of the
state board of education. He was in
doubt as to whether they would
handle a case like this at Iowa City.
but he was told that they had an isola.
ton hospital and no doubt would
handle it. A telephone message from
the superintendent of the hospital
confirmed this opinion, and the un.
fortunate little girl is now the hands
of skilled doctors and faithful nurses,
and her sight will be saved. Put up
on the lowest plane possible the state
has saved, in this one case, at least
$4,000; for that is what it costs the
state to educate blind child at the
school at Vinton. But think Of what
it means to this little girl and to her
parents Doomed, through no fault Of
her own. to everlasting darkness!
That would have been her fate but for
the beneficient provisions of the Per.
kins act.

hundreds Of pounds of excellent fish
were taken from above the dam at the
South Skunk river north Of town this

want OF air and were half frozen. De-
putty Game Warden Jess Wilson OBJ
tanned permission from the state au-
thorities to take the fish and told the
boys to ego to it," Some fine big
specimens were taken out The fish
were helpless and all the men on the
ice had to do was reach in and lift
them out. One man went away with
three hundred pounds or more, Wo-
men also helped in the harvest

EIGHT YEARS LOST
TO MANS MEMORY

Fort Dodge, Feb. IA distance of
eight years covered in two weeks is
the remarkable experience Of Louis P
Rodenborn, messenger for the Adams
Express company and the M. & st. L
railroad, who was found unconscious
in the express train at Spencer sever
al weeks ago.
Mr. Rodenborn met with an accident
on the train between Spencer and
Ruthven. He was found unconscious
by brakeman in the express train.
Little was known as to the cause OF
the injury.
He was taken to the hospital at Els.
therville. His skull was slightly frac.
tured but when he recovered con.
seriousness he suffered from a lapse
of memory. He was entirely rationa.
but eight years had dropped out of his
memory. He could remember none of
the incidents of the last eight years
but everything previous to that time
was clear to him. Friends in Esther.
vile he had made in the last few
years were as strangers to him. Ha
had no recollection of working on the
train but he knew his family.
Mr.. Rodenborn was brought to his
home in Fort Dodge week ago. His
case was great puzzle TO physicians.
But gradually piece by piece his mem
DRY has returned and now the lapse
has been completely bridged.
Mr.. Rodenborn has recovered his
health and 1t is thought that he will
be able to resume his duties within a
day or two.

GRINNELL STUDENT
HAS GERMAN RELICS

Grinnell. Feb. IA Grinnell stu
dent, Fred w. Kaltenbach Of Water
loo, has in his possession a remark
able collection of German war relics
which he obtained while taking a
bicycle trip through Germany during
the opening days of the world war in
the summer of 1914. Kaltenbach, with
his younger brother Adolph, was in
Germany visiting relatives from Aug
ust to December. 1914.
The two boys were in Munich when
the war broke out They then visited
with relatives at little village on the
Rhine only fifteen miles from Mulhaus-
en- where the first battle Of the war
was fought.
The Kaltenbachs obtained a num-
Der of French cartridges for their col
lection which were left by French pris.
oners Of war, and German bullets from
soldiers who were passing through the
village on their way to the front. The
French bullets are of copper and Ger.
man of steel. One of the most priced
items in the collection is a piece Of
cloth from German private's uniform
which Kaltenbach obtained from his
uncle who is in the German army. He
prizes 1t all the more because his
uncle is now non-commissioned Off
Ger and was recently awarded the
Iron Cross "for valor on the field Of
battle"
The collection includes copies Of
German. French, Austrian. Belgian and
English newspapers issued at the out
break of hostilities A copy of the
order for the mobilization of the Ger
man forces and several French war
kilograms dealing with military STRAIT
egy are in the collection. The boys
managed to secure piece Of barbed
wire which was stretched along the
Rhine by the Germans as defense
Pieces Of "coomis." the bread used
by the soldiers which is baked in the
field kitchen, "iron ration biscuits
used In emergencies, and miniature
American flag buttons are priced parts
of their collection. These latter the
boys had to wear in Germany in order
to have the right to speak English.

NICE PROMOTION BY BYL-
LESBY CONCERN.

ton with the FIT. Smith, Ark, street

J. G.. Bourus, auditor of the FIT,
Smith company, is to come to Ottum-
wa and Is expected here Immediately
although Mr.. Ballard does not expect
to go to the southern city until the
middle OF the month.
Mr. Ballard returned from the head
offices of the Byllesby company in
Chicago Tuesday afternoon where he
had been called and proffered the
change Of position. The property in
Fl. Smith is bigger than the Ottum'
wa plant Of the company for 1t COM
bines gas service with the electric

mess.
The recognition of the young OF.
tumwan who for more than nine years
has been in the employ Of the o. r.
e. L. Co, means more than the pres
ent advance for 1t starts him on the
way up. The Byllesby 20. is large
concern that offers wide field for a
young man in that it has public utility
properties scattered over a large part
of the country and develops men for
the responsible positions in the var.
ious plants it operates.
Mr. Ballard started with the local
electric company about nine and a
half years ago coming to it from the
general Offices of the Burlington where
he had gone to work after completing
high school, Upon the advancement

the same character of position at
the Fl. Smith plant where his duties
will be somewhat enlarged. His fam.

Chief Sloan said the seven men off

call at any time and he would have
his headquarters at the station in the
daytime and answer all possible alarms
at night, as he is required to. so that
the force would really be eight men
