I Aw AS TO COLOR BLINDNESS
oo.s Not Mean Loss Of Sight, Accord
ina to Ruling Made by Georgia
Superior Court.

Color blindness does not mean total

pcnIieton in the motion division of
Supcrior court at Atlanta. Gu.
Jud:e PendIeton's decision cleared
LEGAL point raised only once before
in the United States. so far as Is shown
by court records. This was In Ne
hraska, 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
locomotive engineer for the Atlanta
Joint Terminals, against the Locomo-
tive Engineer Mutual Insurance and
Accident association, branch of
the brotherhood of Locomotive En-
sinecrs.
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-Sl, J0O-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.

Gated that about 800 were dead at
Barranca Grande and Chicothle.
In many villages in the Jalapa dis
trict of Vera Cruz all houses and
property were destroyed. according
to the advices of the war depart

Government officials expressed
hope that, because Of poor commu,
nication and consequent possibility
Of exaggerated reports, it would be
found when the final check up is
made that the death toll may not be
as large as the present advices indt-
cate They admitted, however. there
can be little doubt the devastation is
widespread Floods and fires added
to the suffering in many districts.

The whole side of the hill on which
the town was located, collapsed, it
