the BLIND and
the MUTILATED
By DIR. ESTHER LOvEJOY.

In the years 20 come this war will
prove a blessing to the blind. A new
world is being evolved. Nature has at
least one extraordinary. sense III reserve
for those who lose any Of the five ordi-
nary senses. The blind feel things that
are not within reach They are CON
scious OF vibrations that are not per
ceptible TO seeing men.
The sightles learn to read very
quickly by the Braille method. II is
interesting to watch the face OF blind
man as his fingers pass over the up
raised dots of a Braille book and his
mind perceives the mysteries recorded
there for him They have special
stenographic machines and special
printing presses. Books and magazines
are translated into the written language
Of the sightlcsS.
Blind Men Taught Trades.
Men blinded in battle are acquiring
great skill in the textile arts, as mould
crs and in other industries where a
highly developed sense of touch IS eS-
sential to good work
The higher type OF blind men have
great personal charm. Their souls
seem nearer the surface They are pc
culiarly beloved people, and their clair
voyance makes them conscious OF the
kindness and affection with which they
are regarded. Naturally they react to
IT, Perhaps that is why they usually
seem so happy and cheerful.
Unfortunately there are forms Of mu-
tilation which have the opposite effect.
When a man knows that he is repulslve
to every man, woman and child who
looks upon him; when he shrlnks from
the reflection of his own disiigured
face in the mirror, and shudders at the
strange sound OF his own voice he
wants to die.
A great deal is being done for these
muilated men. They are being rciitted
with arms and legs. Plastic surgery Is
doing its part, too, in the way OF re-
storing palates. teeth and facial contour
and the American Red Cross in Paris
is attempting 70 make life more livable
for them by providing masks which re-
store their original features They
will be useful members Of society. but
the soul OF man Graves more than serv'
ice. Life and liberty are precious pos
sessions, but the pursuit OF happiness i
the dearest right OF man We are al
alike. We want to go through life viii
the sweet illusion that the buebrd Of
happiness is Just within reach, and this
illusion is almost impossible to the dis
figured man.
1t is the sacred duty OF all thos,
who have been benefited by their sac
rifice TO leave nothing undone to re
store their usefulness to employ ever
art to increase their mental and physi
cal powers and the charm OF personali
ties. to the end that their lives may be
enriched rather than impoverished bl
