BLEND SOLDIERS
GET TREATMENT
GOVERNMENT CARING FOR MEN
BLINDED IN FIGHTING IN "a
.a'@ THE 4WORED WAR

BALTIMOR Seventy one of tn,
! 200 men of the American fighting
forces who were blinded in the wal
now are sheltered, treated or educated
in the Red Cross Institute for The
Blind, at Baltimore The institution
has been designated as a United
States general hospital and is calico
Evergreen" Colonel James Bordley
| director Of the institute said that al
the Americans blinded in the wal
would be brought here for course
of training as this was the only train
ing school for the blind maintained by
the government He described the
morale of the blinded men as Won
derful.
The men are first treated in the
hospital, says Colonel Bordley in a
statement, after which they are
taught to use a typewriter and read
and write Braille raised type for the
blind. Then they receive special
training to develop the sense of touch.
After this fundamental hand train
ing, the men are given special edu-
cation to fit them for the calling in
which they are interested and are
qualified successfully to follow" says
the statement.
"Thus, those with inclination and
the inherent ability are trained for
such occupations as stenographers,
managers. lin connection with this
latter occupation, plans have been al
ready made to open chain of retail
stores, each of which will have
blind soldier as manager.)

and a natural aptitude for out-of-
door life, will be trained for chicken
raising, bee-keeping, truck gardening
and such like occupations. Those of
such calibre and mentality that fits
them for industrial life are trained,
not merely in shop practice, but for
some particular job that they can fill
and in which they will feel happy.
"Men with high quality of edu
cation and ability that fits them for
life will be given such
special education as will enable them
to follow their chosen career-such
a law, massage, literature.
"Men who know say that the blind
man is handicapped over the sighted,
30 per cent. The men are being
given 80 per cent and more education
al training than their sighted fellow
workers, thereby minimizing this
handicap.
"While man is being prepared for
this future career the position for
which he is being fitted is being Sc

OF SOLDIERS
RECOMMENDED BY GOVERNOR

BOISE.-Governor Davis in his
message recommended that returning
soldiers be given employment, not
only their old places back but that
they be considered whenever jobs
were open. So far, however, such
little consideration has been given re-
turning soldiers in official circles as
to cause considerable comment here.
Several legislative positions, and
departmental as well, have been filled
with married women whose husbands
are making good salaries, one of them
holding a responsible position in a
Boise bank.
Quite few capable young soldiers
have been turned down. There is a
move on foot to bring about change.
1t is pointed out that the example set
to private employers is not whole

FRUIT TREES ON HIGHWAYS.

The suggestion has been made that an organized effort should be made to see that the highways are bordered not only with shade providing and at tractive trees but with fruit trees. The idea of this apparently is that those who ride through the country during certain seasons of the year may gather and eat. but there is lit tie reason to believe that the idea will be acted upon favorably.
 By setting out of fruit trees along the highways there can be no ques- ton but what there would be a large increase in the amount of fruit raised, and the knowledge that such fruit was to be had would mean that many more would be attracted to the country but those who have expert snced the visitation of fruit gatherers know full well that the trees would aot last long and that it would cause 10 surprise to see them disappear the first year they bore. limb by limb ol sven fruit, trunk, roots and all.
 And it is equally certain that those Tor whom the fruit would be intended would get precious little of it. There are those who would seize upon the opportunity to make an organized rait upon such trees for the purpose o disposing of the fruit in the marke

LOSSES COULD BE AVOIDED.

The strike of the teamsters for the produce dealers in New York is an other instance where there is a dis regard for everybody else except those directly concerned, and simply em phasizes the fact that the day cannot come too soon when disputes of that kind are settled in a sensible manner and in accord with the facts.
 By the refusal to handle the goods it has been necessary to have the car loads of porishable goods of various kinds sent elsewhere. But even then it has not been possible to overcome the decay of large quantities of fruit which become dead loss because it is impossible to get it distributed, and because the people are not able to get it, such as is offered to them at once rises in price. On the other hand in asmuch as New York is the center for a large trade in this line it is not al- ways possible to divert the goods con- signed to it because other cities get ting their consignments are not able to take care of such q large amount ir addition and there is thus trouble fo1 the shippers who are obliged 10 un- derso d serious curtailment O. inter ruption in their business.

 Under a great tree on the most beautiful of Lendon's commons in old fashioned London May weather sat such a battle scared soldier. his face bandaged completely but for one eye and his mouth. the bandage held in place by hooks attached to his upper lip-obviously a case of the saddest kind of disfgurement. He smoked a pipe and read book.

SELLING OUR AIRPLANES,

While the sena.e is busy with the army appropriation bill. there can be no surprise over the criticism that was indulged iif regarding the way in which the surplus supplies of war ma terial are being disposed of. There arc apparently instances where sales are refused because the bids are not what they should be. as in the case where a great quantity of meat was offered to dealers, but there are others where the war department seems to have almost given the things away regardless of what they cost or are worth.
 How little regard seems to have been shown for the fellow who is pay | ing the tax is indicated in the case of the airplanes. There were $20,O00, 900 worth of these machines that were sold for $20e0o00 These machines were not obsolete but recently built and on hand at time when much i greater interest than ever exists in 1 aviation, and when much better l price it would seem could have been secured. There were HOO standard | plans of the J-1 type that cost the government s5.0OO each that went for s200 apiece. There were 1916 of the J-4 that cost 5000 apiece that went for s400 each, while 460S airplane mo- tors that cost $2200 apiece went al S400 each.
 How our departments business methods vary from those used by Canada is shown by the fact that the surplus aircraft across the border arc being offered through advertisements | at $2500 each. The machines cost from 5000 to $4000 more than our planes but they are being offered at more than six times as much as the highes price secured for the best of ours which looks as if those who purchased our machines stand in to make {
 handsome profit off the governmen loss.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
spIendid Showing for consoIidstion.


 MT. Editor: A statement that Lux makes Tn his letter this morning in re- gard to the cost of running the schools now as compared with the district management is grossly misleading, and is so clearly from a lack of the true facts that it seems best to I,try and correct it.
 If Lux will refer to his tax bills previous to consolidation he will find school tax collected by the district for three to three and half mills ac- cerding to the district in which he lived. He will also find that the town collected for schools and paid the dis tricts an amount equal to three or three and a half mills, making a total or six. six and a half or. seven mills for schools.
 Lux is remembering the district tsz and forgetting the town tax. During consolidation the teachers. salaries have been raised very decidedly and | in two districts at least from 50 to 100 per cent, and every other item of ex- pense has increased enormously. and I still there is only slight increase in l the tax rate. This is a splendid show l ing for consolidation

DELAYING SIGNING.

It is to be hoped that the designa- ton of representatives by the German government to sign the peace treaty, which it was agreed several days ago by the same government should b. signed. will put an end to tho delay that has been. experienced in conc,ud- ing this natter.
 Inasmuch as it has been decided that the terms must be accepsed Il i; important that the dose shoul1 be taken even though it may 3e un- pleasant. The rsct that the govern ment has au- locized the step should relieve those wra actually s'gn of :Ee responsibility ;hat might othe wise accrue to them, cnd there shouil be the consolation that the signing of the peace treaty is far preferable to the plunging of the nation and the world into the war.
 Apparently Germany has been has tened in it's action by the realization that if it did not proceed to comply with it's announcement to the effect that it would sign, that the allies would set a time before which it would be necessary to aftiX the necessary signatures, or steps would be taken tc move forward the divisions that are waiting to be sent into Germany There could be no indefinite delay 1T regard to the concluding details, anG it would be advantageous to proven a military movement now even as i was when word was given that tht terms would be accepted.
 It is characteristic of Germany tC delay and haggle in an effort to dodge the inevitable. It shows that certain influences in that country are offering the utmost resistance but squirm a: 1t may, Germany must face tht music.

4 HEARTLEss HOAX.


 That the navy department is justi- fled in it's belief that the letter which has been received by the mother of one of the sailors lost on the United States collier Cyclops. which disap- peared while on its way from the West Indies to this country, is hoax will be generally believed. For some reason there are those who persist in causing undue misery to those who lost members of their family when that ship went down as it probably did in some unexplained manner. Their loss is bad enough and the eff forts to create the belief that the ship is still afioat and in a German port would be of little consequence if it did not carry with it the infer ence that those who were aboard are still alive. This latest communication even declares that one of the crew is in this country which not only pro longs the suspense of his mother but does the same for all others who are mourning the loss of their dear ones on the same ship.
 The navy department has done it's utmost to find some trace of the lost collier without success. After the signing of the armistice it was hoped that some inkling might be gained from Germany regarding the fate of the vessel but it was learned that it was not in Germany's possession and that it knew nothing about it. Had it sunk it it would have been only too glad to have made the announcement and certainly if there were any ot the crew alive they would hasten to inform their relatives and the world
 It is unfortunate that those who are responsible for such practical jokes as this appears to be cannot be located and given the punishment that they so richly deserve.
