EFFORT TO LOCATE
 WOOD ALCOHOL VlcIIMs

In view of the increase recently noticed in the cases of blindness re- sulting from the drinking of wood al- cohol, denatured alcohol and medieat- ed alcohol by those ignorant of it's dangers, the state board of education
 of the blind has sent inquiries to all the hospitals in this state in an en-
 deavor to locate victims of the poison
 who have lost their sight. The secre-
 tary of the board said that this branch
 of the state service is ready to render
 any assistance that it can to persons
 who have been blinded hy any means
 whatsoever. To outline what proceed
 ure the board would take in case of this sort would not he feasible. Each case would need to be studied and the very best course selected for that par- ticular case.
 The secretary pointed out that an adult who suddenly finds himself with out sight is usually thrown into a state of despondency from which it is not an easy thing to arouse him. His
 mental attitude toward life and tow ard his affiiction needs to be rendered more nearly normal and wholesome l If the physical needs of the victim had been cared for the board woue turn it's attention to winning tn, l friendly interest of the man. Thi. 1 might be accomplished in one way ol 1 another. Cases would differ. Gent ral- 1 ly, it is a good thing for an adult wht has lost his sight to SC among othel l people who have been blind for |; l longer reried. There he usually learni l to find himself. He comes to realiz, 1 that in a way his hands can be mad,
 to serve as his eyes, and fairly ac | eeptably, too.

ACCIDENT TEXT BOOKS
 FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Connecticut leads all other eastern states in the number of automobiles owned on the basis of population and with the exception of Iowa, Kansas ands one other western state, where many farm implements are registered as motor vehicles this state leads the country. the percentage of automo-
 piles being about Il per cent. In other words more than one out of every ten persons itl the state is an automobile owner.
 Owing to the large number of auto mobile accidents in the state, Com missioner Of Motor Vehicles k. B. Stoeckel has arranged with the state
 board of education for the publication
 of Primer on Accident Prevention"
 to be circulated in the schools in this state, and following the opening of
 the spring term it is expected to have
 grammar schools throughout Connec- ticut using the text book now being prepared, which will pay particular
 attention to the danger of automobile accidents.
 "A primer similar to that we have in mind has been published in the w st," Mr. Stoecl1el said. but it is our intention to emphasize the danger from automobiles and the need for | e'ebi . " Fl NNCIlt 1IOAuSItlS. GAl UOOhS already published on accidents tell of the decrease of the more common ac- cidents. give instruction on how to remove cinder from ones eya but neglect to mention the increasing l number of serious automobile acci- 1 dents, the majority of them preventa. | b'e. The little book which is now in 1 the works we expect will play a much 1 better purpose and will accomplish a very real good"
 l Mir. Stoeekel has been co-operatins 1 with the state board of education in preparing material to be used in the new text book. Miss Minnie Bigelow 1 or Essex having been selected to pre- pare it for publication Miss BigeloW l has had considerable experience in l grammar school work and the new text book will be written in simple language. Aside from playing up the necessity for caution and prevention
 of accidents it will include a summary
 of the state automobile laws, traffit regulations and the rules of the
 road which all motorists are SUD-
 posed to know but many do not.
 The new accident text book will b,
 used principally in the seventh ant
 eighth grades of grammar schools. I
 Is expected to be ready for distribu
 tion. following the Easter vacation while the state board of education i. hopes that schools throughout tn
 state will be using it at the openin, of the fall term next year. The meth ,, cd of distribution has not been ar 1. ranged but it is expected that tn new text books will be supplied b , the board to any schools desiring t use them.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov, Tightness of
money rates. together with acute
weakness of stocks, hogs and foreign
exchange did a good deal today to
bring about material setbacks in the
value of corn. Prices closed nervous,
&c to 31sc net lower, with Deem
Der S1.30& to $l.30k and May
$1.241a to $1.24%. Oats lost 5c to
Is c and provisions lie to Csc.
Corn showed a downward tendency
as soon as the market opened. but the
initial impulse seemed due mostly to
predictions of excessive low tempera-
ture for this season of the year. Such
weather conditions We're looked upon
as likely to facilitate the crop move
ment and as therefore bearish, on
the opening decline shorts covered
freely and a reaction carried the
market to above yesterdays finish,
but then the tension in regard to
money as well as the decentralization
of the stock market and of sterling.
besides new breaks in the price of
hogs proved too depressing to be
withstood by holders of corn. Values
now gave way rapidly and numerous
automatic stop-loss orders to sell
were forced into operation Just be-
fore the close.
Talk of export business failed to
uphold oats after corn plunged down
grade.
