THEY'RE USING
NUMBERS NOW
When You Go Into the Drug Store
Don't Forget to Call For What
You Want in the Newest
Fashion.

Seventy-six, eighty-four. ninety-two
1t sounds like football signals for
Thanksgiving game, but it isn't.
IT'S merely the new way of doing
things at one of the local drug
stores where all the fancy drinks and
dishes have lost their perfectly good
identity and catchy names for a
number
TITS easier for the boys to remem-
Der the numbers and much quicker,
'the boss said in answer to the why
fore of the change. and they do it
that way in cities" one of the boys
piped up.
So the pharmacist and drug men
have gone on the Shakespearean
theory that rose or sundae by other
names would smell or taste as sweet
and have given their fancy dishes a
plain old arabic number.
The boys didn't take the idea very
much at first, because it seemed a
pretty big job to learn the new code
especially in hot weather. but two of
them got the numbers" of thirty-five
dishes in five minutes the first night
and started using them across the
fountain.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
EnuIish Idea Is That Art May Help the Sightess to Communicate
 With Outside World.

One of the many experiments of the Royal Drawing society has been to teach people to draw by touch. The pupil Is blindfoIded and feels a simple shape. like a hammer of a spade. and draws it with his eyes open. An ad- vanced pupil has drawn the head of a classical bust and the mask of Bee thOyen.
 These experiments fired Mir. c. R.. Ablett. the director of the society, with the idea of drawing by the blind. He has devised medium which looks like the frosted stun on a matchbox made liquid. by which the draughtsman can follow by touch what he has drawn and correct or add to his work. So far there have been no experiments with a blind pupil.
 MT. Ahlett does not claim for 1t more than that a blind man can draw the plan or design of something he wishes to record and explain. A blind gardener has been known to % into rrsras!cs over the unfolding shapes of a plant. and the drawing Of these shapes. known to him by touch would undoubtedly give him a form of es- thetic pleasure. In any ease, it would Increase his means of communicating with the outside world.
 A great boon, if the method Is Drnc- tfcabrs would be that ir would enable The blind Co write and Co read writ iu.-ManrhoStrr Guardian.

 The experiment of converting the small herring Into the canned sardine was tried out in this factory, built for that purpose by Julius Woitr.

 From it's birth, in this small factory, sardinp canning has developed to ul- most the chief industry on the Maine coast, employing thousands of skilled workers each season, and has placed Passport on the map as one of the most important fishing ports iu the country.
