demand for the products was largely
artificial and knowledge of that fact
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 it Is
good finger and mind exercise and
gives the blind man, who finds it vir-
tually impossible to write legibly with
pen or pencil, means of written COM
munication. Typewriting, when mas
red witt stenography and the dicta-
phone, aEso may be made means OF
livelihood.
The elective courses as planned at
Evergreen are ciassed as professional,
commercial, industrial, agricultural
and home work. The professional
work, except for massage, piano tuning
and bookbinding. will be under the di-
rcction of the federal board of voca-
!, tional education. An industrial survey
+ has been made, enabling the govern
ment to classify industry properly and
determine the physical requirements
| necessary for the various types of
work. When an occupation seemingly
suitable for the blind is found time

These pictures are TO be the text books

diers.
| To fit men for commercial work
courses are being developed in bust
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 froT
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 a building
adjoining the Garrett estate. 1t has es-
/ tabI:sned a library room with raised
print copies of entertaining literature,
| has provided volunteer teachers, and
has opened a house in Baltimore where
any member of patients family may
stay. II 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 a month.
If the hospital period of convaleseence
is not long enough to prepare them
for self-support supplementary educa-
ton is provided by the federal vOca-
tional board.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Meteorolo
gists of the Weather Bureau who are
cooperating with the Navy Department
in preparations for the transatlantic
fight regard it as probable that in 60
ing overseas the three naval seaplanes

1000 feet They believe the planes
will not have to fly as high as would

derive the greatest possible assistance

Wind is the one element of para

according to Professor Charles +.
Marvin, chief Of the Weather Bureau.
Extensive reports as to weather con-
ditons have been gathered by the
bureau, and q friendly cooperation ex-

Canada and Great Britain and aviators
of other nations preparing to make the

AS far as storms go, the naval avia-
tors have little to fear. When North
America and the Atlantic are clear of
great atmospheric disturbances, it is
almost sure that an airplane could
travel over the whole breath of the
ocean, from west to east, without en-
countering a storm. The reason for
that is the eastward drift of the at
mosphere, credited sometimes to the
revolution of the EARTH"
Since compasses have been found to
lose much Of their precision on air
planes, experts of the weather bureau
believe they will be almost useless on
Trans Atlantic flights. The oscillation
OF the plane itself is a large deterrent
factor, and others are the attraction of
the motor or machine material for the
needle, and the impracticability of
making corrections while making flights
at high speeds.

OMAHA, Neb., May 3.-The German

suit attacking the new Nebraska law,
requiring all religious services and
school exercises to be conducted in the
English language, asking the court for
an injunction to prevent the Governor

The Missouri Synod of Luthcrans,
nearly all of whose pastors are native
Germans, was the plaintiff. Leaders
of the Church contend the law of con-
