BRITISH SEE
 MENTION FOR
 BLIND TO WORK

London, Jan. 10. An invention enabling armless men to wash, shave and feed themselves and to perform other remarkable feats such as type writing, has just been demonstrated at the Ministry of Pensions.
 The appliance, which can be fixed to any table, is worked by the feet. A knob is held between the toes and this is attached to levers connected with two arms which are suspended over the table. These arms can be moved about and made to pick up all sorts of articles,
 The inventor, a Scotch gas-fftter, in demonstrating his device washed his face with the substitute hands. He drank from a cup, used a knife and fork readily in > cutting up food, and fed himself, put a cigarette in his mouth, opened an ordinary match box, extracted the match and lighted the cigarette.
 He turned over the pages of a led ger and made entries in it, drew a design on paper with a pencil and cut the drawing out with a pair of Scis- sors. He demonstrated that he could do typewriting, and worked a sub stitute for a sewing machine.
 Another appliance was shown for writing with a fountain pen. The country is showing great interest in this invention in view of the possi- bilities it offers to the many armIess soldiers to engage in numerous occu- pations

K. Of c. Ready To Assist Soldiers
 Find Baggage

New York, Jan. 10.-An adjunct bureau has been established by Will liam J. Muiligan, chairman of the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities, in connection with the Lost Baggage Bureau at 461 Fourth Avenue to assist the relatives and kin of soldiers who died in France, Belgium and Germany, to reclaim their personal property. Ac- cording to MT. Mulligan, the Lost free to all former service men their country, have on more than one oc- who died either in hospitals from wounds or were killed in action.
 In many instances there is no way to identify their relatives or next of kin and as result barrack bags, trunks, boxes, and other pieces are lying abandoned. MT. Mullfgan says that there is no reason why the fami- lies of men who died heroically for their country should not have theil interest in such property looked after.
 Plans are all in readiness for this new bureau. The name, rank, Seria number, company, organization, di- vision and time and place of the death of soldiers are solicited by this department in order that the worl may operate without unnecessary de lay. Despite the work of the Knight. there are yet over 90,0O0 pieces O. lost baggage in storage on the gov ernment piers at Hoboken, N. J.

BRONZE HORSES
 AGAIN APPEAR
 BEFORE CHURCH

A
 Venice, Jan. 18.-The four bronze horses which adorned the facade of St. Marks cathedral have again been put in place after an absence of more than two years due to their transfer to Rome where they had been kept to avoid capture by the Austrians or destruction by air bombs.
 The horses are regarded as the finest specimens of ancient bronzes and, according to tradition, graced the triumphal arch of Nero. In the reign of Constantine, they were taken by that emperor to Constantinople. There they stood until 1904 when they were brought to Venice and placed on St. Marks cathedral. There the. horses remained for almost six centuries.
 Napoleon, after he had conquered Venice, took them to Paris to adorn the arch of Triumph in the Place du Carrousel. After his defeat at Water loo they were returned to their or iginaI place in St. Marks, where they remained undisturbed for century.
 The horses stand five feet in height and are the only ones in existence representing an ancient chariot quad riga.

be sent to join the deportees over seas. Legislation may be necessary to accomplish this, but officials felt that by sending those people away the nation would be freed from fur ther trouble breeding by t..ose par ticular strains of blood and thought. Officials also said that much of the ground for possible reprisals would be removed if the families were finally sent to join their leaders. It was said that, should the dependents left here become destitute a false attitude might be propagated against the gov ernment's action in deporting the aliens.
 While the government makes no provision for the families of persons sent to federal prisons, it was ex- pected that deportation was a differ ent matter and that because of it's possible effect in Russia and other foreign countries it was worth while for the government to care for per- sons left here unprovided for as a re- suit of deportation proceedings.
