WILSON PLANS

This the administration contends.
undoubtedly gives Wilson authority to
veto the Lodge measure.
DETERMINED TO VETO.
The president apparently is deter
mined to veto Lodges proposal ocnfi-
dent that two-thirds' vote can not be
marshalled In congress to pass it over
his head. Thus he plans to prevent
the war being officially ended until
the peace treaty has been adopted.
At Speaker Gillette's office it was
stated that 1t was not customary to
send concurrent resolutions to the
president. but that in this case il UNI
doubtedly would be necessary under
the constitution. This opinion was
expressed after the constitutional pro.
vision had been scanned. Before that
the impression was that 1t was not
necessarily to send such resolutions to
the White House.
Senator Lodge. author of the reso-
luton was in Boston. 1t was said at
his office.
Administration officials also declared
that in an opinion rendered in 1854 by
Attorney General Gushing. stated that
congress could not pass any laws,
which, in effect "coerces the discre-
ton OF the president except with his
appreciation unless by a concurrent
vote of two-thirds of both houses upon
his previous refusal to sign BILL"
REQUIRES SIGNATURE.
Another opinion on this question,
cited by the administration, Is con-
tanned in report by the senate judi
ciary committee made January 20,
1897, as result of an investigation OF
the question as to whether a concur
rent resolution required the presidents
signature.
Whether concurrent resolutions are
required to be sent to the president OF
the United States must depend not
upon their mere form but upon the fact
whether they contain matter which is
properly to be regarded as legislative
in it's character tand effect" the re-
port stated. IF they do they must be
presented for his. approval. Otherwise
they need not be. The nature or SUBJ
stance of the resolution and not its
form controls the question Of its dis
position"

RIDICULOUS FAD OF FASHION

degrees" In the reign Of Henry vi,
ladies wore horns having on each side
ears so large that when they would
pass through the door Of room 1t
was necessary to turn sideways and
Stoop. 1t was judged necessary. to en-
large the doors Of the Chateau de
Vincennes. The correct angle for the
hair was As from perpendicular, which
entailed great strain upon the hair
growing from the forehead. Little
thought Of what we call cleanliness
or even decency was present at the
Aairdressing Of that day. Not only
was the hair left untouched for most
reXoltingly long time, but materials

tower partly torn of. 1t proved to be
stuffed with yarn, tow, wool, curled
hair, and even hay.

WERE MARvELS IN Chill DHOOD
Those Whom the World Has Recoo-
nixed as Men Of Genius Remark
able for Precocity.

One character common to genius
and to Insanity, especially moral in
sanity, is precocity. Cesare Lombroso,
professor of legal medicine, University
of Turin, relates that Dante, when
nine years of age, wrote sonnet to
Beatrice; Tasso wrote verses at ten,
Pascal and Comte were great think
ers at the ages of thirteen, FORMER at
fifteen, Nlebuhr at seven, Jonathan
Edwards at twelve, Michel Angelo at
nineteen, Gassendi, the Little Doctor
at four, Bossut at twelve, and Voltaire
at thirteen. Pico de la Mirandola knew
Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Chaldean and
Arabic. In his childhood Goethe wrote
story in seven languages when he
was scarcely ten; Wieland knew Latin
at seven, meditated an epic poem at
thirteen, and at sixteen published his
poem, 'Die VOllkommenste Welt"
Schiller was only nineteen when he
wrote "Rauber." Victor Hugo COM
posed "Irtamene" at fifteen. Pope
wrote his bde to solitude at twelve,
and Byron published verses at eight
cen. Moore translated "Anacreon" at
thirteen. Meyerbeer at Ave played ex-
cellently on the piano. Claude Joseph
Vernet drew very well at four, and at
twenty was a celebrated painter. At
thirteen Wren invented an astronom-
ical instrument, and offered 1t to his
father with Latin dedication.
Raphael was famous at fourteen.
Beethoven composed three sonatas at
thirteen. Eichorn, Mozart and Eybler
gave concerts at six. Weber was only
thirteen when his first opera, "Das
Waldmarchen." was presented. Bacon
conceived the "Novum Organum" at
fifteen. Charles XII manifested his
great designs at eighteen.

York and wherever old prejudices are
being swept away by demonstrated
truth that they have work the blind
can do as well as those who can see.
Ability to earn a good living is be-

tional, thanks TO the teaching at such
places as st. Dunstan's in London and
Evergreen in Baltimore, where all
Americas blinded soldiers. sailors and
marines go to have the way pointed by
the government and the Red Cross
Institute for the Blind.
The number of men who have come
out of the war blinded is far less than
most people suppose. 1t is safe to say
that the figure of a blind veteran polk
ing along with cane or being led
along the streets was common In the
vision of those trying to imagine con-
ditions after the war. Somehow, prob
nbly because the blinded soldier Is the
most appealing to the feeling Of pity
and is held in special affection among

eral belief that shell shock and gas
sing often destroy the eyesight, the
notion has been prevalent that blind
ness would have a big place in the
casualty lists. This Is not true.
The latest United States army re-
port is that 227 men out of the mil
lions we sent into the national service
have been blinded. Small as Is this

Is too large. Among the allies the
proportion Of blinded men among the

tries, with the exception Of carpentry
which was considered too difficult
were about all that was taught IN the
traditional school for the blind. Inc
demand for the products was largely
artificial and knowledge OF that 1act
by the blind man did not help to make
his lot easier.
But at Evergreen, as at ST. Dun
STAINS, the purpose of such instruction
Is to educate the fingers so they may
pass on to more important things.
Similarly typewriting is taught to
every one, not that all may become
professional typists, but because 1t Is
good finger and mind exercise and
gives the blind man, who finds 1t vir-
tually impossible to write legibly with
pen or pencil, means of written COM
munication. Typewriting, when mas
tered with stenography and the dicta-
phone. also may be made means of
livelihood.
The elective courses as planned at
Evergreen are classed as professional,
commercial, industrial, agricultural
work, except for massage, plano tuning
and bookbinding. Will be under the d.
rcction of the federal board of vOca-
:, tional education. An industrial survey

To fit men for commercial work
courses are being developed In. .busi-
ness economics. craftsmanship, Office
management, the use of Office equip
ment and the principles OF accounting
and bookkeeping. Agricultural courses
primarily for those who come from
and must return to rural homes, In
clude classes in poultry raising, dairy
farming and market gardening.
What Red Cross Is Doing.
To do anything that will help the
blinded fighters at Evergreen and after
their discharge the Red Cross Institute
for the Blind is cooperating with the
hospital and the vocational educational
board. 1t has quarters in building
adjoining the Garrett estate. 1t has es-
tablished a library room with raised
print copies of entertaining literature,
has provided volunteer teachers, and
has opened house in Baltimore where
any member of q patients family may
stay. If mother, wife, sister or child
can be of assistance to the blinded
man in carrying on his future work
that person may be invited to go to
this house without expense and re-
ceive practical instruction in how best
to help the blind man not only In his
trade or profession, but in his home.
The men remain at Evergreen until
"they reach the highest point of men
tai and physical rehabilitation" They
are discharged by the commanding
officer upon the recommendation of a
medical survey board. When they are
discharged they cease to be soldiers
and receive a pension of 500 month.
If the hospital period of convalesccnce
is not long enough to prepare them
for self-support supplementary educa-
tion is provided by the federal voca-
tional board.
