LIFTS HANDICAP FROM DEAF
knowledge Of Zip Reading Restores
Afflicted to Their Place In tie
Industrial World.

Deafness is tribulation, but Its eff
fects are more psychological than
physical. Deaf men as a rule have less
difficulty in getting jobs than baye
men with more obvious handicaps. The
real handicap in, deafness is that 1t is
more calculated to inspire impotence
than sympathy, and as consequence,
deaf men grow suspicious, irritable
and complaining. The deaf man Is
trial to himself and to the world. and
he walks quite alone. Communication
is the one thing, that can restore him
to normal contracts.
In order to effect this the Modern
Hospital advocates lip reading as his
immediate necessity and salvation If
he is to maintain wholesome place
in the world Of industry.
A popularity Of speech reading ts
that person who can hear, cannot
learn it.
There is wide variety Of industrial
conditions which contribute to deaf
ness. Because of these hazards. the
industrially employed form an extern
.sive problem. Without training they
are not only liable to discomfort and
unpopularity, but they are source of
risk because of their inability to under
stand orders. From two points of view
the deaf have great need for a
knowledge of lip reading, and should
learn. it at all costs. It fits them for
| an Independent, useful career In In
dustry, and in many ways re-estab-
fishes an intimate connection with nor.
NAL life.

Sailors, superstltions.

Time was when sailors would not
think of sailing without a charm or
pocket piece of some kind to ward off
bad luck. Wind beads were a favor
tie and in nearly every port were
maidens to sell them. -
Tattoos were considered essential
for bon voyage, especially the butter
fly on the shoulder predominated for
good luck. A pig tattooed on the foot
was assurance the man would never
drown, and sailors say not a man is
known to have drowned IL he possesse
ed this significance Of charm against
fate. - t
And so the old sailor, by the hour,
could spin yarns and point to strange
fate inexplicabie disaster always laid
at the door of superstition.
