A happy reunion took place at the
union stoctyards. Hers island. Pitts.
burgh. ar exchange declares, late the
other evening. when Mrs. P. ]. Riley
of Fox Chase road. O'Hara township,
rescued her four stolen cows, awaiting
their doom at the hands of the exc
cutioner.
During heavy rainstorm the other
afternoon the animals were stolen
from the pasture and driven to the
stockyards and sold. County detec-
tives traced the cows, but among the
hundreds of other "bossies" were un.
able to identify them. Mrs. Riley was
sent for. AS she stepped into the big
pen stampede among the animals for
time threatened serious conse-
quences. When 1t had subsidized, the
detectives who were with Mrs. Riley
were amazed to see four of the cows
rushing toward the woman. Brushing
their heads against her shoulder, the
animals zooed and mooed soft express
sions OF relief. Overjoyed, Mrs. Riley
grasped each around the neck In turn,
stroking their glossy coats and petting
them.
When their mistress left the big
stock pen, the cows followed her as
obediently as well-trained dogs, and
when last seen we're vending their
way TO their home on Fox Chase road
with their mistress.

LAW AS no COLOR BLINDNESS
Does Not Mean Loss OF Sight, Accord
Ing TO Ruling Made by Georgia
Superior Court

Color blindness does not mean total
loss of sight In the meaning Of the law,
it was held recently by Judge john t.
Pendleton in the motion division of
Superior court at Atlanta. Gave
Judge Pendletonls decision cleared
legal point raised only once before
In the United States, so far as is shown
by court records. This was in Ne
braska. where both the lower court
and the State Supreme court held that
color blindness means total blindness.
The question was raised in suit
brought by George L. Fallin, who'was
locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, against the Locomo-
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association branch of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-.
gineers.
Engineer Fallin, IT. was set out, be-
came color blind while engaged In his
line of duty and was discharged from
his position. He then applied TO the
engineers association for his insur-
ance-S1, 500-for the loss of his eye
sight, as stipulated in the policy. The
association. however declined to pay
the amount on the ground that color
blindness did not come within the
terms of the policy concerning blind
ness. Fallin then brought suit in the
courts through his counsel, City Attor-
ney James L. Mayson.

One OF the most important ogerings
Of the current season at the ArmOry

24th is the first presentation here Of
Neil Iwoney's delightful dramatiza-
tion OF Gene Stratton-POrter's charm
ing story "Freckles."
g's s.> &c. sese. that thara have haan more
readers Of this story than any other
book published in a decade fair
estimate is in the millions-make the
dramatization of the utmost import
ance to the dramatic world.
'Freckles" as song play is
stronger than "Freckles" as a story
The characters live, love and have ad-
veuture-One can see and hear, there
is nothing left to the imagination. The
Amusement Company, un-
der whose management the present
tour is conducted. has made the pro-
duction of "Freckles" exceedingly
elaborate. and has assembled a COM
pany of unusual excellence for the
of this charming song
play.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles and other
are by the Viennese Com
poser, Anatol Friedland, and are a
novelty from a musical point Of view.
The Woodland Fantasy played during
he play is a masterpiece. This is not
