BELIEVED HIM TO BE
BLIND IN BOTH EYES
Ex-Service Man Adjudged Eligible for
Restraining When Power of Sug-

Among blinded ex-service men there
was a curious case of a negro who
seemed to be blind in both eyes. Nei'
Their eye could perceive five fingers at
any distance. He had faint light per
ception and there was hope for restora'
tion of sight in one eye.
The man was adjudged eligible for
retaining under the federal board for
vocational education and was about to
be assigned to the Maryland workshop
for the blind, when another physician
managed to persuade the negro that he
could see.
The physicians report reads as fol-
lows:
He was suffering from psyche neu.
rosis hysteria giving rise to marked
blepharospasm and photophobia and
amaurosis. All physical findings mega
tive. Treatment by suggestion com
pletely cured up all symptoms and l
discharged this man cured.
All OF which sounding language
mesns in everyday talk, that here was

thought so hard that he made other
people think so. When the doctor
made him think he saw, he saw.

islature Passes Bill.

New Orleans, May l4--If the legis.
lature passes bill of acceptance, Lou.
isiana will have acquired veritabe
emiper of the wild, stretching along
the Gulf of Mexico for distance OF
rs miles and comprising an area of SOC
square miles.
The bill of acceptance is only a for
mality and the state conservation de.
partment already has begun to out
line the work necessary to keep the
tract safe for the creatures of the
wild.
The property consists of Marsh is
land with $4,000 acres of land pur-
chased by Mrs. Russell Sage and given
to the state as a game refuge and a
tract of $4,000 acres in Vermillion and
Cameron parishes on the coast given

McIlhenny interests Of 10000 acres.
Lying between the game farm and the
Rockefeller tract in what is known as
the grand chenier tract OF 5000 which
the state expects TO acquire in the near

This will give Louisiana what is be.
lieved here to be the greatest wild life
refuge in the world. The great domain
ia patrolled by agents of the conserys-
ton commission and ON it all sorts Of
game are protected and propogated.
Edward A. McIlhenny, wealthy salt
mine owner, has given great tracts OF
land as well as large sums Of money to
aid in the work
