Help.

Are there any young ladies in An
napolis-or any who do not still call
themselves yOuthful-who want to
learn bit about public speaking? If
there are, they have an excellent
chance to take up this art which, aside
from their hopes for opportunities,

their resulting chance to enter into
the realm of politics and civic bet
terment.
The Maryland Council of Defense,
Woman's Section for Anne Arundel
County, is planning a course which
to those who take advantage of it
should prove a boon. Besides every
other consideration speakers from
among the women of the community
are going TO be needed to present to
other women the important phases of
conservation and preparedness. For
this reason the opportunity presented
by the course which is now being
formed, should be periodically taken
advantage of.
All those who desire to fit them
selves to be of aid to their country in
these days should send in their names
to the headquarters of the Council of
Defense at the Court of Appeals
Building.

Gil of Defense, Woman's Section for

ed badly and the call issued today for
their services comes at a time when

patriotism aroused 10 a point where,
no matter how little they can do in
dividually they will do that little with
a vim and a real Willingness.
Work in The Council of Defense's
part of the drive for the Third Liberty
Loan is the basis of the call. Cleri-
cal work, and particularly work at a
typewriter is the biggest call imme-
diately. but those who are not typists
need have no hesitancy in volunteer
ing. There is plenty of other kinds Of
work for the ladies to do and there is
a bountiful need for their doing it,
A meeting Of the Council of De
tense is TO be held at the Council
Headquarters in the Court of Appeals
Building on Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock when the big push for
Anne Arundels part of the Liberty
Loan is to be launched. The yolun-
teers should at that time or between
now and then let their willingness TO
help be known.

BETTER BLIND THAN DEAF"
Scientific Writer Points Out Why the
Former Affliction Is Less Hard
to Bear.

Scientists have shown that sound not
only informs the intellect, as does
sight, but that, much in excess OF that
sense, il excites feelings-that is.
sound pure and simple has a specific
relation TO feelings widely different
from that of sight.
Its primary effect was the creating
of moods, Margaret Baldwin writes In
the Atlantic magazine. This being so,
the simple fact is that sound has far
more TO do fundamentally with origin
ating our emotions, or how we feel from
day TO day, than has what we see.
1t should be said in passing, that
there is very little recognition of this
fact by the person with normal hear
ing. Sight and sound are SO inter-
woven for him that he does not dis
criminate as TO what belongs intrinsi-
cally to each in the province of feel
ings. 1t is only when the two are
clearly separated, as in deafness or
blindness, that experience takes note
of what belongs to the one and the
other.
A scientific writer points OUT that we
can see with Indifference the with
ingS of a suffering animal that is still,
but that, if there are cries of pain, IL
produces emotions at once. We are
distressed. In reports of terrible ma
rine disasters, it is almost never said
by people that they can never forget
the sights they saw, but always that
they can never forget the cries of the
drowning.
Although one would hardly hesitate
TO say that the excess of the blind
mans calamity over that of the deaf
man is sufficient to overbalance this
elemental function of sound TO pro-
duce moods, yet the universal fact re-
mains that the blind are more cheerful
than the deaf.
