with her little feet.
This little girl attends kindergarten
No. 8. She is IL years old and has not

measles and whooping cough robbed her
of these powers when she was an infant.
A visitor In the kindergarten was
amazed when he saw her leap to her feet
as the piano sounded patriotic strains.
He saw her eyes glow with understand
ing and emotion. He was told that this
bright-eyed child-she has been called
"Polyanna" because of her happy smile
is one of the brightest pupils in her
class She understands the teacher $
gestures and Obeys them with the same
promptness of other boys and girls who
can hear the words which accompany the
gestures.
She smiles and dances and keeps per
feet time with the rhythm of music.
Such an occurrence is not phenomenal
to teachers in institutions for the deaf.
Deaf persons feel the beat of music,
experienced teachers Of the deaf say.
vibrations from a musical instrument
beat against their bodies and register
in their chests and nerves. Their ear
drums d not work at all. 1t is said
to be of the paradoxes of deafness.

CHARGES NAVY
HELD UP PLANS
Nine Months Getting Action
on Suggestion, Sims Says.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE navy
department delayed action for months on
important recommendations for improve
1nents in the naval forces in the war zone,
admiral Sims charged today before a
senate committee investigating the navy's
conduct Of the war. He charged that his
request for planning section of his staff
was not executed until nine months after
he had forwarded the suggestion to the
authorities in Washington.
The efficiency of our cooperation with
the allies was seriously impeded during
the critical first months of the war by
this hesitancy and failure by the depart
ment to act nthe information and rec
concentrations made to it" Sims asserted
Throughout the first months Of the
war" Sims said, "the department showsd
a tendency to demand the fullest and
most complete explanations of every re-
quest made to them and Of every de-
tail Of the operations of our forces be-
Tore they would approve such requests
or sanction such operations"
1t was easier,' Sims said, "to CO.
operate with the allies than it was to get
action from our own department"
