BLIND WARNED OF DANGER
Mysterious Sense Tells the Sightless
When There Are Obstacles Which
They Must Avoid.

Blind men whom I met told me that
as time passed would sense obstrue-
tions as l approached them. They give
back an echo too faint for common
ears. hut audible 10 the delicate hear
ing of the blind.
There is. too, mysterious some
thing which warns a blind man of his
danger, hut which he cannot under
stand Some think ii is an ever-so-
delicate pressure of the air. There Is
really no knowing what it IS, but If,
for instance, you were to take ten
tray and hold ii two feet from a
blind mans face he would shrink
away, knowing it was there, but not
knowing how he knew.
| am too young I'm the business OF
blindness TO avoid collisions with such
objects. but I begin to feel the sense
growing in me. and with time it will
develop.
Also. the crossing Of streets was
problem, because the blind walker just
naturally bears away 10 the left. II
he was in an open space he would
90 round in a circle as hunters do
who are lost in a forest. But in the
city he merely misses the opposite walk
and wanders about in midstreet until
some kind pedestrian sets him right

PILGRIM WORTHY OF HONOR
Elder Brewster Gave Up Much When
He Abandoned His Home for a
Great Principle.

Gone Is the ancient pear tree, and
no trace remains Of the mulberry tree
planted by Cardinal Wolsey under the
welcome shade of which Sir Edwyn
Sandys sat In the long summer days
OF 1916 az Scroohv manor, but Pilgrims
in England in 1920 need not neglect
20 raise their hats 10 the memory Of
Elder Brewster at his one-time home,
because special arrangements have
been made for escorting parties TO
the haunts of Pilgrim Fathers during
the terccntenary year. All the Fathers
made great sacrifices. but one will be
tempted 20 think that William Brew
ster made perhaps more than most
when one sees the ruins OF his pala-
tial home he left. Traces Of the mOat
still exist, and some of the great
carved beams can be found i'm stables

the house can be realized when it is
remembered that IL was large enough
to shelter Margaret Tudor and her en-
tire rctinuc on her royal procession to

MUSIC IN COST OF LIVING
Inhabitants of Densely Populated
Flats in New York City Begin
to Take Alarm.

Opening windows on the first warm
days of the year bring a warning that
this will probably be the most musical
season New York has ever seen, says
the Evening Star of that city. The
apartment-hOuse court has always
been cosmopolitan in its musical tastes
and prone to prodigality in its volume
of more or less musical sounds in
summer, and this time ii appears that
not only are all the young men home
from the army but that the high cost
Of everything has also made the apart
ments more densely inhabited and
more continuously so than ever before.
The magnets are lacking that once
drew folk away from home in the eve
ming. Beer is negligible as a corner
attraction. The movies are more eX-
pensive and more tiresome. Soda
bears war tax paid by the dispenser
and also charged to the consumer.
Home has become a rather forced
haven for all and music is being over
worked in an attempt TO relieve its
tedium.
This season we have with us, appar-
emily, not only the monograph and
the player piano-those resources of
the musical and unmusical alike-bnt
there is also an apparent return of the
child who practices on the piano.

Refrigerator As a BreadbOx

A good refrigerator is a home ne

much of a necessity in the home today,

In the up-to-date home a refrigera-

milk at healthful temperature and

Illuminated Traffic Cop.

With view to solving the difficult
ties that beset motorists and traffic
officers on Boston streets after night
fall the officers of the First motor
corps are conducting experiments
throughout the city to make a traffic
handler visible to drivers as well as
TO pedestrians.
An experiment demonstrated that
with the help of three light bulbs,
which burn continuously, white bands
crossed on his breast and long white
gauntlets. a traffic officer can be seen
by motorists even at the busiest and
darkest of corners.
One of the lights is placed on the
traffic guards hat and the other two
on his shoulders. They are fed by
batteries in the pocket of his over
coat. Both red and white lights have
been tried. So far the red lights seem
TO be more satisfactOry.-Boston

Alrnlanes VIII Aid MINING.

It is predicted that the airplane and
the dirigible will prove great slim
illus to the mining industry in pre-
Senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known TO be rich with ore and
which are Mt the present time inacces-
sible. There are many such places
known TO exist, but the cost of build
ing roadway TO them would be 50
great as to be prohibitive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the
mining stations for the United States
bureau of mines. BY this means a
regular communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to

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

One Of the many experiments of the
Royal Drawing society has been 10
teach people 10 draw by touch. The
pupil IS blindfoIded and feels a simple
shape, like a hammer of a spade, and
draws 1t with his eyes open. An adj
vanced pupil has drawn the head Of a
classical bust and the mask of Bee
thoyen.
These experiments fired Mr.. G. +.
Albeit, the director of the society, with
the idea of drawing by the blind. He
has devised n medium which looks like
the frosted stuff on n 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 n
blind pupil.
Mr.. Albeit does not claim for it more
than that a blind man can draw the
plan or a design of something he
wishes TO record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to go into
ecstasies 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 case, ii would
increase his means of communicating
with the outside world.
A great boon, If the method is prac-
ticable, would be that it would enable
the blind to write and to read writ
ing.-Manchester Guardian.

AT THE REPUBLIC TODAY

he chose Matt Moore for the part
which called for a sympathetic un-
derstandng of this well known OBJ
lection. He selected the bachelor ac-
tor because of his known objections
to matrimony prompted by the ex-
periences of his brothers.
Should motion picture players ever
really (not 'reel-ly') get married?
moi" was the emphatic answer OF
Matt Moore when asked that ques-
ton. They should not I've worked
with nearly every star in the bust
ness. and yet / don't ever expect to
get married. I've seen some horrible
examples of matrimonial failure right
in my own family, and consequently

evolent Order of Benedicts or ex-
Benedicts. My brother Joe married
Grace Cunnard, the serial star. He
went to France a year and a half
ago, and they have rot been living
together since. owen married Mary
Pickford and only recently they were
divorced. Tom married Alice Joyce
and they, too. have been parted by
the law. And to cap the climax Alice
has just recently gone outside the
profession for a new husband, mar
rying the son of a New York hotel
owner. Well, I guess that ought to
explain my attitude on the subject
of matrimony."
