German Wdr
Blind Work
(By CARL d. GRoAT)

(By United Press Correspondent
Berlin, Jan. 29.--German industrial
captains are STRIVING to make useful
workers of the Teuton warblind and
war-maimed. They have succeeded to
such an extent that today consid
cradle number are engaged in the
hitherto supposedly impossible WORK
of running machines which before the
war only men with all their faculties
operated.
The Simens-Schuckett works here
were the pioneers in trying to salvage
manpower.
Today these works believe that they
have given an answer to any idea that
the war-blind or the war-maimed, ex-
cept in extraordinary cases, need be
objects Of charity and pity
Working on their drills. presses,
and boring machines are men totally
blinded, and in some cases with an
arm missing.
Utilization of such cripples has been
made possible through application of
special machinery The Siemens-
Schubert works began their expert
ment in human salyaging back in
1915 before the stream of MANNED
and blinded had began to pour back
so extensively as later.
At that time, people scoffed at the
experiment. "Of course" they said,
you can't have blind man operate
a drill or lathe. You may put him
to work Gaming chairs or making
brushes, but on this highly technical
work it is quite an impossibility"
-Schuckert leaders paid no
attention 10 this talk, but went ahead
10 develop machines upon which such
men couldt operate with safety. Spe-
cal attachments were contrived, 50
that there was no danger to the oper-
ator. In fact it was found that with
some kinls of drills, blind man
could operate pair And the blind
man seemed often times to take a
greater interest in his work than a
man with al his Faculties. Perhaps,
because he had pride in being indie
pendent rather than object of charity
for the rest of his days.
For instance, certain lathes were
equipped with bells which told the
blind operator when the material in
the lathe had been sufficient turned.
On this machine and on drills and the
like there were special guards which
prevented the workman from catching
his hands in the mechanism.
Then, too, the works made allow
ances for a mans previous occupa-
tiOn.
As an example, it was found that
men formerly engaged in locomotive
work became i'll when confined to op-

Chicago courts can only convict so
per cent of those charged with muir
der. Eighty per cent of those charg-
ed with other crimes are convicted.
The only reason ! can see for this is
the jury. The jury, when a murder
case faces them become worried over
the probable long imprisonment and
in order to shorten it they fail to re-
turn conviction for the culprit
"A remedy for this is do awya with
capital punishment and fix the SEN
tence for all such cases at life inn
prisonment. When ] sentence a man
to hang now it is because it is the
only sure way to prevent a recurrence
Of the crime AS it is now, if muir
derer is sentenced to life imprison-
ment the term is rarely served. After
a few years the case comes up before
a pardon board, and the defendant is
released, So when | say do away with
capital punishment, include the par
don board. Then when murderer is
sentenced to life imprisonment life
it will be. A person with murder in
his heart will think twice before he
commits crime if he knows life inn

GO. o.oPERATION AMONG MEk-
CHANTS.

Probably no organization has
been more persistently mlsrepfe-
sented and maligned than the ke-
fail Merchants association. IN
snite of the fact that all its meet
mos have been open and are all
wavs publicly advertised, It has
often been asserted that the mem
bers of the association get togeth-
er to fix prices and otherwise plot
against the public. AS a matter
of fact. the local association has
confined it's efforts chiefly 10
credit matters, with a view TO
keeping the merchants out OF the
clutches of the dead-beat who Is
one of the factors serving to m
crease the cost Of doing business.
If is certain that il the merchant
gets no bad accounts he can do
business on a smaller margin ana
thereby sell goods for less than ne
can if he is compelled to wipe a
Tot of bad accounts from his books
every year. The efforts OF the
association to give every customer
his proper credit rating are
therefore. to be commended as
means Of benefitting the public.
But there are otheF matters, be
sides credit which come within
the scope Of the activities OF a
merchants organization which is
properly functioning. In numer-
Gus ways merchants may cooper
ate to the mutual advantage OF
themselves and their customers.
For example. the Dollar Day cam
paign which was conducted dur
ing the past year was a means OF
bringing more trade to Chickasha.
Undoubtedly these sales swelled
the total volume of business done
by the retailers of the city and
there are other ways Of promoting
the same end. Indeed, herein is
The principal benefit which may
be expected to accrue from CO.
operation among the merchants:
il should be the constant effort OF
the merchants to bring more bust
ness to Chiclasha and there are
various means by which this re-
suit can be accomplished The
trade excursion trip which was
conducted last spring unquestion-
ably gave the retail stores OF the
city much valuable advertising.
The extent of the business bene-
fits resulting from an organlza-
ton of merchants is measured
only by the decree in which they
enter into hearty cooperation for
the advancement Of common in
terests. The only reason why
larger results have not been
achieved by the local association
in the past is because there has
been to little interest manifested
by the members. AS a rule only a
handful of men have attended the
meetings and it has been extreme
lv difficult to get concerted ac-
ton on any matter. Every brsi-
ness firm in the city should be a
member Of the association and
should have a Representatives al
every meeting, To refuse to co
operate in such a movement Is tC
stand in the way of the Legitimate
extension Of the trade interests o
the city. In the territory within
radius of thirty or forty mile
Of Chicllasha there are thousand
of dollars worth Of business whicl
could be attracted here if tn
proper effort were made and thi
can be done only by cooperation
It is to be hoped that the new OF
ficers Of the local association vii
have the active assistance of ever
merchant in making the organize
ton accomplish its mission.
