MATERNITY BILL MEANS
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
YEARLY FOR NEW MEXICO

The New Mexico delegation in con-
gress are heartily supporting the
Sheppard Towner maternity bill,
which provides for instruction in the
hygiene OF maternity and infancy.
There is strong opposition to the bill,
lead by Senator Reed, of Missouri.
and Senator King, of Utah. Senator
Bursum states that the bill provides
that each state receives $1,000 an
nually from the federal government
unconditional on any appreciation
from its own treasury. In addition
each state will receive the proportion
of SlOOO00 which its population bears
to the total population of the United
States. The measure stands first in
tie executive program of the enfran-
chise women of America.

William B. Crawford, who was a
sailor in the world war now resid-
ing at Roswell with his wife, was to-
tally disabled in an explosion which
occurred aboard the ship upon which
he served. Crawford was awarded
compensation for total disability by
the bureau of war risk, for some time /;
this compensation was cut off recent
ly, because Crawford was unable to
furnish the names of witnesses to
the accident. Through the efforts of
Senator Bursum, however, the bureau
of war risk re-opened the case and
admitted such evidence as was
abailable, and restored the award to
the injured man.

CONTRACTS LET FOR
SIX FEDERAL AID
ROADS FOR 1881 1868

Conracts for six federal aid roads
were awarded by the state highway
commission on Wednesday and Thurs
day. The new roads will be located
in five counties, and will have a to-
tai length OF 20994S miles. The ag-
gregate cost be 1881 ,96S49, which is
nearly $4,000 less than the projects
were estimated to cost, several months
ago. Two important factors enter IN
to this great reduction. One is that
the construction costs have dropped
sharply; the other that contractors
count New Mexico contracts highly
desirable and are willing to make low
bids in order to land them. 1t is said
that the state highway commission
pays much more promptly than most
OF the other states.
There were 90 bids received on the
SIX projects. So many interested per-
sons attended the reading OF the bids
that 1t was necessary to use the SUI
preme court room in order to have
space enough. Contractors were pre-
sent from several states, and two OF
the contracts were awarded to firms
that have not done any federal aid
work in the state One went to a
concern that built the first completed
federal aid project in the state. but
has not had any contracts recent

tending across the county from west

ed the contract on No IS, which is
the longest single federal aid project

Pueblo and Santa Fe, is the firm that
secured No s., in San Juan county.

Z Blind GIRLS NOW |
EFFICIENT TYP|STS.

Hope Soon to Compete With
Normal Persons
AT MT. AIRY INSTITUTION

blindness deafness and dumbness
have been handicaps, but have not kept
Kathryne Frick. Of Harrisburg, and
Grace Pearl, of Philadelphia, from be-
coming efficient typists.
For eleven years they have studied at
the Pennsylvania Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb at Mount Airy, and
they hope soon to be able to compete
with normal persons in the World OF
business and pleasure.
Only three of the 533 students at the
institution are blind, one small boy and
these two young women. Both the lat
ter learned articulation by feeling Of the
teachers lips and throat when words
were spoken. They learned the shapes
of letters from a sand paper alphabet,
on their fingers. As they grew older
they were both eager to learn tipping
so that was included in their training.
Now they do all their work on the type
writer. They make few mistakes for
their touch has grown sure and steady.
Miss Frick and Miss Pearl are two
examples Of the work done at the in
stitution.
"In SO far as possible" said Lyman
Steed, principal Of the advanced de-
partment, 1--WE try to fit these pupils
so they can compete with normal per-
sons in the business world. Twelve
years training is allowed those who
start with us in kindergarten, and they
are taught elementary studies that are
included in public school courses, ex-
cept. of course. In different way.
Their recreation is much the same rs
beautiful esthetic dancers among the
Uir1g Tnnniu and p,nItGal nf
baseball are favorite games with the
girls, while the boys have an athletic
association. They maintain their own
teams in baseball. basketball, football
and track work.
Both girls and boys are not only
taught to speak, read and write and
given the usual grade school training
They are taught some trndc so they car
be useful citizens. Carpentry and cabi.
netmaking, tailoring and shoemakini
have been the most popular trades II
the last few years. Printing, brick
laying, baking, painting. weaving
laundrying. farming are also taught tn,
boys. The girls are taught dressmak
ing, sewing, millinery, cooking ant
housekeeping.
Through questionnaires which W,
sent out to pupils who have completed
the institution courses in the last tel
years we have found our men graduate
in such trades as machinist, farmer
silk mill worker, laborer, coal miner
factory workers, craftsmen, auto re
pairman and electrician. Very few ar
unemployed.

ported they were married and keepin
