"Victory Over Blindness"

He slowed up, the cart stepped in front
of him and he walked around back Of it
and went his way A friend who saw tits
asked him how he did it.
"Wher the cart stopped" explained Sir
Arthur II knew that the horse was i'm
mediately in front of me, for I could
hear him breathing. smelt the smell Of
coal-so l knew it was a coal cart and
therefore a long one, SO 1 made good
wide detour and here 1 am. Will the aid
of my hearing and smell learnt what
your sense of sight told you. We ar
rived at the same conclusions by differ
cnt methods"
A heavy stick is not the thing for the
blind to carry. A thin one does much
better as "feeler" Sir Arthur stud ed
the idea Of using dogs as an aid to blind
men, but reports it as not practical; be-
sides, the dog on string conveys the
idea of the blind beggar. and that IS
something to be avoided. The public
must be impressed with the fact that loss
of sight has not fatal effect on intelh-
gence and ability. Then is the blind man
with nOrmallooking eyes to go about
bearing no indication that he cannot sect
Yes; ard if he finds himself in busy sur
roundings he may indicate his handicap
by closing his eyes.
Sir Arthur comments on a curious fall
lacy about the blind: the notion that as
soon as the sense Of sight is lost very
fine sense of touch is evolved. This, he
says. is not the case; the sensitiveness Of
touch develops slowly. Some adopts at
the Braille system of reading embossed
characters have remarkable sensitiveness.
One man whom the author knew could
read Brailie through four thicknesses' OF
handkerchief. Another fallacy about the
blind is the current belief that they do
not IN .oy smoking.
A blind mans handwriting deteriorates

is practically unreliable unless he Is very
careful and thinks of every letter; "but
now, thank goodness, / can rattle away
on a typewriter. am perhaps buster in
these days than | have ever been in my
life, but write more letters with my own
hand than ever did before"
What book this is! 1t conveys more
to the reader about the state of blindness
than he could learn by reading a dozen
scientific trcatises. 1t must bring to the
friends Of the blind happy realization
that much of their pity has been wasted;
that the blind are not the most grievousIy
afflicted of earth, for, although blindness
is handicap, and a great one, it is not
insuperGble. Here is one man who has
leaped the barrier and then has put in
the greatest work of his useful life in
teaching thousands of other men to fol-
low him.

A NEW AND WONDERFUL VARIE-
TY OF CORN

DR.. Frederick 5. De Lue, Boston
oculist has received a medal from
the Horticultural Society Of Massa,
chusetts for having developed the
highest grade Of sweet corn, a va
riety he has named Golden Giant.
The award is extraordinary in that
the conservative Massachusetts so
ciety has made no award for corn in
the last sixty-seven years. This was
because Of the minor defects found
by it's experts in all specimens pre-
sented DR. De Lues variety is
deemed nearest the ideal both in
physical form and in nutritive val
ues
Many years ago DR., De Lue became
interested in plant life because of its
relationship with the life Of the or
binary human being.
Corn admittedly excels in nutrition
and DR. De Lue concentrated his eff
forts on the native American corn
So for more than seventeen years
he worked toward the ideal corn.
His efforts were successful when the
Golden Giant was perfected.
The new variety is remarkable IN
that It natures from two to four
weeks earlier than any other sweet
corn, is grown with vastly less labor
and has from sixteen to twenty-five
rows )f ine. healthy and large ker
nels.

New-York tribune., 1919-06-29
BY Katharine Wright

Years ago when we were cub in
Boston, our city editor said: "Jack
Rose is running y motion picture con-
Germ out on the Fels. Go and get the
dope on it."
Now, "Baldy" had named his movie
factory the Humanology Film Pro-
ducing Company and was endeavoring
to live up to the title. We had never
met gunman before, and his subdued
manner upset every one of our pre-
conceived notions of these desperate
characters. He was courtesy itself,
and after a while we found ourselves
eating a New England boiled dinner
with Mr.. Rose and Arthur Ashley, the
leading man, and Miss Carlotta de Fe-
lice, dark and beautiful, and said to
be related to the Aosta family.

scene or two, that we made our first
acquaintance with movie" director.

Menace Of the Quack
E1posed in Ne,U Film

Authorities have declared that the
quack doctor is by far the most dan
gerous criminal in existence, and
open Your Eyes," the government
film drama at the Central Theatre,
was taken under the auspices of the,
United States government, with the
sanction of the United States Public
Health Service, Tor the express pur-
pose of exposing this malefactor and
his trade
1t has been pointed out that while
a community can take measures to
safeguard itself from other types of
criminals, the quack is menace par
ticularly hard to reach because of the
prevailing public ignorance conc erning
him and his practices. For this reason
the quack lives and grows rich with i'm
punity on the misery of youth. The
general public knows of his existence
only through his own advertising
Only recently stringent laws have
been passed which have made welcome
inroads in his practice.
How the quack, at once a thief and
a murderer, has been directly respon-
sible for the spread of disease is
shown in open Your Eyes" which
also depicts the results of his ac-
tivities.
