Give Sightless
Equal Chance

The members OF this first group were
paid during their apprenticeship Is
cents an hour. and. after four weeks
instruction, were, given places In the
shops. Later, the hourly rate Of pay
for trained workers was changed to a
piecework plan and this proved more
interesting and stimulating to the
worker. At the factory 1t was said
that a skilled blind worker earned
from So to "a day at piecework.
More startling than the work in the
coil-winding rooms is the handling of
various kinds Of machinery by the
sightless. At the notching machines
they put In metal plates and stamp
them with the desired notches. Blind
men also stack these plates, or punch

also are employed by the company. In

Marked independence is shown by
the sightless employees. in handling
their work and in moving about the
factory and grounds. The effect upon
them of being self-supporting and en-

which must pass the same tests Of In

Dead Woman Tells Of Procuring
Iron With Which Husband
) Killed Her.
Like STORY OF OLDEN TIMES
Supernatural Comes Again to Play
Recognized Part in Affairs Of Men
In Country Which Calls Itself
Civilized.

Washington, d. CA man Is ac-
cused Of beating his wife to death,
and is brought before q high tribunal
for trial. Judge and jurors and audi
ence sit and listen In respectful ST.
lence while the ghost of the dead wom-
an testifes that she herself procured
the iron bar with which she was killed,
that she had intended to kill her hus-
band with 1t, and that he had great
protocation to kill her.
This sounds like a story of olden
TIMES. 1t might have happened in any
Of the great ages of superstition
when men believed In the supernatural
even more than they did In the nat
urnl.
Civilization is supposed to have freed
NAB from these. ancient fears, but 1t
has not done so. The fear Is still
latent in US, waiting for a chance to
express itself. For example, the in
cidhnt related above happened, not in
the middle ages oriih q fairy taley but
In the Supreme court of the District
Of Columbia a few days ago. The dead
woman's mother testified that she had
gone to several mediums, had con-
verSed with the ghost Of her daughter
and had so gotten the daughters
story Of what happened. Still more
astonishing, she testified that an as
sistant United States attorney had ad-
vtsed her to consult mediums. When
you take this in connection with the
fact that the Supreme court evidently
listened to the ghost conversation as
part Of the testimony, you cannot blink
at the conclusion that a-ghost has been
admitted to, court OF justice In the
United States. The supernatural has
come again to play a formal and rec
ognized part in the affairs Of men in
country which calls itself civilized
splrItuaIlsm Involved.
OF course, the whole question of
spiritualism is here involved. There
are many Intelligent and sincere peo-
pie who believe that the existence Of
ghosts who can communicate with us
has been proved.
Out in the West there is a certain
placer deposit of gold which has been
the grave Of many fortunes. One man
after another has tried to get this
gold, and all have failed. Finally,
along came an inventor with most
ingenious and expensive plan for get
ting the gold, He had absolute faith
In 1t. 1t appeared that ne was in com.
munication with the ghost of his dead
sister, and that she had impaired this
plan to him, and had told him It was
sure to succeed. He spent every cent
he owned and could borrow on the
plan and lost 1t all. The ghost was
wrong.
Here is another example of a med
dlesome ghost who sought to make
trouble. A young and attractive widow
was invited by an older woman who
lived in the same boarding house to
join her in some .ouija board excur-
sIons to the land of the dead. They
Immediately got into communication
with the spirit of the young woman's
dead husband. He proceeded to crit
icize her goings and comings at great
length. He objected to the man she
went with. He told her that such and
such man was immoral, that an
other ate cocaine, that third had a
wife living In Australia. He advised
