PROVIDE WORK FOR
BLINDED SOLDIERS
An American Starts Those Of
France and England Doing
Electrical Work.

London (by mail)-Blinded soldiers
Of France and Great Britain are being
taught to carr their livings doing cleo
trical construction following the sys-
tenn originated by an American. DIR.
Schuyler s. Wheeler. who recently re-
turned to New York after spending
three months here and in France in
Producing the work.
In it's present stage the blind are
taught to insulate coils for motors INT
dynamos and do a certain mount of
blind workroom for this work about a
year ago in Ampere, N. j.. where he is
president of a large concern manufac-
turing electrical machinery.
When 1t became known that the blind
were able to do the work and to earn
good livings in competition with sight
ed the French government in
vited DIR. Wheeler to come to France
and teach the blinded soldiers. Suisse
quently, through Sir Arthur Pearson,
the British authorities invited DIR.
Wheeler to come to England.
In France two large electrical work
rooms have been started for the blinded
soldiers. The French branch OF IL
large American electrical manufacture
ing company has founded n at their
works in Neuiily- u Marine. where
more than 500 will be installed. Rene
Vallery-Radot. president OF the council
of the Pasteur institute. vice president
of the Society of the Friends of Blind
Soldiers. and soninlaw OF the great
Pasteur. has founded the other at ver-
~sailles. where several hundred soldiers
are receiving instruction.
In England. the British Electrical
and Allied Manufacturers association
through Hugo Hirst. president of the
General Electric Company. Ltd. work.
ing with Sir Arthur Pearson, head of
St. Dunstan's and leader in the move
ment to aid the blinded soldiers. has
agreed to foster the movement and give
employment to all the blind who may
be fitted for the work.
Sir Arthur is most enthusiastic over
the introduction of this new industry
for the blind. THE sincere gratitude
OF the blind community of this coun-
try" he said. "is due to DIR. Wheeler for
his public spirited and generous action
in making the dangerous journey from
the United States in order to give the
benefit OF his practical experience and
advice. 1 have every hope that his
action will mean %congenial and profit
able employment to hundreds. Or per-
haps thousands Of blind"
In addition to the soldier blind, it is
intended to teach the work to a large
number OF the blind women OF the
United Kingdom. for whom there is now
practically no employment.

told them something of his experiences
at the front in France and how when
he arrived at an American aviation field
he was welcomed by an aerial escort
OF 100 planes. flying in perfect forma-
ton and alignment. The sight remind
ed him of how important and RESPONSE
BILE was the work of the builders OF
aircraft, and it had therefore greatly
pleased him to observe how keen n
careful all the Standard workers were.
The safety of the army depended on
the fiers and the safety of the fliers
depended on the workers. Workers and
soldiers alike were really all fighting
for liberty. When the war was over
orders would doubtless be formed Of
those who nae fought on land and sea.
and he hoped hat similar orders would
be formed of those h a had the
high honor OF working on aircraft and
other forms of equipment and NUM-

The secretary of war then departed

AMERICAN GOODS TO

Latin American Countries to
Cooperate to Do Away With
Pirate" Schemes.

Washigtnon.-The coming visit of DIR.
Mario Diaz Irizar. Of Cuba, to the Unit
ed States for conference with business
men and other officials Of the Pan
American Trademark bureau. of which
DIR. Trizar Is director in North America,
is expected to result in greatly further
ing the protection of manufacturers
who are e~ndeavoring to increase their
trade in Latin-Amerfcan countries.
The matter of t~rademarked articles
in I4atin-America has cansed great
trouble to business men and has long
adventurers and notably for Germans,
some OF whom have secured large
amounts o money from American man
ufacturerS by methods closely resem-
bling blackmail. Patents and copy
rights come under the same head and
efforts are being made by the Pan
American Trademark bureau to correct
the evils that have grown up In pirat-
ing the good names Of reliable manu-
featured articles.
Tn purpose of the pirates is never
TO manufacture. according to William
G. Wells. chief stattstician Of the Pan
American union.
They simply register the trademark.
he said today, and thereafter control
the selling Of the article in the country
in which they have registered it. That
is all that is necessary under the laws
of all the Latin!Ameritan countries.
The object OF the Pan-American
Trademark bureau Is to prevent this
fraudulent registration. All h U

North Int South America. The modus
operating of the man who registers
trademarks is simple. All he has to
do is to find some article that il being
advertised extensively in the United
States and OF which there is q prob
ability that 1t will be introduced in his
country.
"1ho registration fee 10 usually small
and when the trickster has made his
registration he sits back and waits
for n business to come to him. When
the manufacturer comes to introduce
his article in hat country he finds that

permitted to operate there.

Since treaties valid unless they are approved
