Manufacturing establishments were
Systematically destroyed in all terri
tory where there was severe fighting.
Many have been rebuilt, but it will
take a longer time to restore them
completely. About so per cent are
working now, and the reason for so
large a percentage is that as Lille,
Tourcoing and Roubaix, where the
largest number are, were inside Ger
man territory until the last, the Ger
mans did not have time to destroy
the factories there, although a great
deal of machinery was taken away.
Some has been got back from Ger

The coal mines in Lens were damaged
more by flooding than by anything
else, hut just before we were there
they had completed the pumping out
outfit and the mines were dry and
were beginning to get out coal.
We were told the roads were in
very bad condition and that we should
suffer all sorts of discomforts. From
AN American standpoint, average con-
dition of roads was rather better than
the better class of roads in this coun-
try; and the hotels, though some were
of more or less temporary nature,
were perfectly comfortable, and we
had no difficulty in getting all the
good, wholesome food we wanted.
While prices were high, they were
much more reasonable than in Paris.
Paris Looks Normal
General business in Paris has as
sumed what appears to be a normal
condition. Hotels, restaurants and
stores are all operating as usual. The
streets are filled with people, and we
were surprised that we did not see
more wounded soldiers. The pre-
dominating color of dress is black, but
with that exception you would not
realize there had ever been a war.
Hotel accommodations are exactly as
they were before the war, and though
the price for rooms is far in excess
of what it was formerly, it is still,
taking into account the rate of ex-
change, rather below the price for
the same accommodations in New
York. The price of food in more ex-
pensive restaurants is very much
higher, tut you can get all the food
you want of the very best quality.
They still have war bread, which is
quite brown but fairly good. Sugar
and butter are rare, yet one could al
ways obtain an extra amount if he

much as the reduction in exchange.

Law AS TO 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,
1t was held recently by Judge John T.
Pendleton in the motion division Of
Superior court at Atlanta, Ga.
Judge Pendleton's decision cleared
a legal point raised only once before
in the United States. 50 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
a locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, against the Locomo-
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association, a 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-$1 ,5O0-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-

Hezekiah. few months later,
boarded a Pullman at the same mid
Western town. making II run toward
the West. And there was NJ. l.. vas
crisply, daintily, demurely lovely as
ever.
Hezekiah had thought he liked
fair or red-haired girls. and that he
admired the buxom type. NJ. L. v.
was Of the slight, dark type. You
might have called her Japanese, be-
cause her eyes were a little almond
shaped and her complexion was clear
and pale, and her hair was smooth
and dark. Straightway Hezekiah re-
vised all his former meditations on
the subject Of his ideal.
Hezekiah felt detected. He was
quite sure that he would have to make
NJ. L. VS. acquaintance some time,
some way.
But II she were young woman Of
vealth-and she was obviously a
person Of much education, for she
had been reading "Rabindranath Ia.

If he were a doctor or lawyer or

Hezekiah seldom came to quick con-

ones.
In business he had the reputation
of being as slow as any man in the
field, and as sure. It was the sort Of
slowness that fascinates you with its
security and stability.
