rotunda portico of the east front oc
the Capitol and facing 100000 per-
sons, who stood uncovered in the bril-
liant sunshine, bound himself to the
nations service by two oaths OF

The first he gave when the vener-
able Chief Justice Of the United
States extended TO him the Bible
upon which George Washington swore
faithful intent 1most 132 years ago

The second was his own. springins

BLIND TYPIST
MAKES RECORD on
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Blind Stenographer Is Speeder on
Typewriter - New York
Lighthouse Hears the
President.

New York. - When President Hard
ing addressed the blind men and wo-
men at the New York Lighthouse for
the Blind, II East Fifty-ninth street,
the notes of his address were taken by
a blind stenographer, Miss Grace f.
Keator, and were transcribed by her
on a typtwriter in the Lighthouse Of
flee.
Miss Keator has record of ninety
words minute better, it is said,
than that of the majority of sighted
stenographers She takes dictation on
stereotype machine, and with her fin
gers reads the abbreviated dotted
characters which ase a contraction of
the reading type used by the blind, and
then transcribes them on her type
writer. Miss Keator Is the official
stenographer of the New York Light
house, and the Office work is heavy In
that organization which handles 3,529
cases of the blind in one year.
All of Miss Keator's business letters
are written by her on a regular type
writer, but for personal correspond
ents she used the special writingframe
devised for the blind. This instru-
ment consists of two metal blades OF
equal size, usually no more than one
foot long, hinged together at one end
In one blade there are cut two or more
rows of cells of the required point
space, and in the other is a grooved
bed, or base with writing pits drilled
into It. so that one blade fits over the
other. Between these blades, the paper
is inserted. The blade with the cell
openings Is place above, and into II
are impressed. dith the aid of small
pointed stylus, dots in the desired
number and position.
Type for the blind has never beer
standardized. There are three kinds
in use today. New York point, Ameri
can Braille, and English Braille, grade
L, and the last is becoming the stand
ardized type for the blind In this coun
try. Miss Keator is proficient In thu
use Of these three types. Miss Keato
lost her sight at the end of her Hig
School course. Immeditely she sc
about to prepare herself, once more
to be self-supporting. She attende
an institution for the instruction g
the blind, an dthere she became train
cd as a switchboard operator a plan
ist, and q secretary.
As the President and Mrs, Hardin
were leaving the New York Light
house, after their brief call there, tn
o President stopped at the desk of Mis-
. Keator, shook hands with her, an
then dictated this message OF greetin
= to the pupils and workers at the Ligh
