But Superintendent Hooper of the

"Willetta was miserable for years

quite deficient, while the proper
thing would have teen to develop
her senses of smelling and feeling,

SPECULATIONIN /,
MARKS HEAVY
Buying Of German Money
Reaches Unprecedented Point
In u. S., Say Bankers

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Specula-
ton in the German mark in the Unit
ed States since the armistice has
reached an unprecedented point, ac-
cording to international bankers
here.
Thousands of persons in all walks
of life. hoping to get rich quick, 1t
was stated, have invested heavily in
German currency, which recently col
lapsed to a point below one cent for
the first time in financial history.
The buying first started in the
midsummer of 1919, when the mark
whose pre-war value was 23.8 cents
was selling at T 3-4 to 8 cents apiece.
New York appeared to be the dis
tributing center. Banks and foreign
exchange houses were flooded with
orders from small investors. Small
foreign exchange houses sprang up
on prominent corners, cigar stores
and other business houses began ID
do flourishing business in the mark
While the wave of mark buying
was at its height, peddlers hawked
The German paper on the streets and
one distributor is known to have
made a house to house canvas.
Bankers said this buying contin-
ued as the value of the mark declin-
ed, when the German industrial re-
covery failed to materialize as quick
~ as the "get rich quick" investors
had expectAd. Some weeks ago when

low levels, many of the small invest
ors as we'll as others began to cash
in" and they are believed to have
taken thousands of dollars in losses.
Many of the spectators, however,
bankers assert are holding their
marks for new rise and are buying
the currency at the new low rates and
euualizing their losses. But the wave
of buying has been greatly checked,
thew declared.
While bankers are reluctant to dis
cuss the probable outcome of these
speculations, they declare, however,
that only REIMBURSEMENT of repara'
tions payments, improvement in Ger
manv's economic situation, or the eX-
tension of commercial credits to Ger
man manufacturers for raw materials
will bring above an Improvement IN

Blind and Deaf, She Sees By
Smelling and Hears By
', Feeling.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE
most marvellous girl in the world is
Just beginning to do marvels for 9th
er girAs and for boys, too.
She is Wi1etta Higgins, whose
eyes are blind and whose ears are
deaf, burt who sees by smelling and
hears by feeling.
Winetta is 16 and an inmate of
the Wisconsin School for the Blind
here
Before WilleGta became totally
blind and deaf she was far from a
marvel; frankly, her teachers
thought her stupid and indolent.
Often they lost patience with her,
They Just couldn't get things
through her head" At 10 years of
age she had got only so far as the
second grade and was really a prob
lem for her grandmother, VINO was
rearing her with her two sisters and
one brother.
Then teacher, little more in
cliaed to investigation than the 9TH
ers, found by some simple tests that
Willetta couldn't see well or hear
well. She was brought to the at
tention of a field agent for the
School for the Blind, who took her
to the institution.
For several years, despite the
most sympathetic attention and
scientific methods of the officials
and teachers at the school, Wiiletta
didn't improve much. Her dispos;-
ton, if anything, grew worse.
Two years ago she became deaf;
q year ago she became blind. For a
week she was more morose, If any
thing, than before Then one day
suddenly came an awakening - the
result of her sudden perception of
her powers of smelling and feeling.
Excels Helen Keller.
Today Willetta huggins, through
the development Of her powers of
smelling and feeling, has become
more marvellous than even Helen
Keller.
maybe it is the gift of Gcd in
return for the loss ct roy sight and
hearing" is Willetta's only explana-
ton.
Some have been skeptical. They
thought the girl still had some pow
ers of vision. To convince them she
was given yarn of six colors, in six
separate envelopes, and locked in a
bank vault at Chippewa Falls. In
this blackness she opened the en-
velopes, smelled the yarn, wrote the
color of each strand on an envelope,
and put the yarn of that color in it's
respective envelope. When the vault
was opened it was found she had
made no mistake.
She can hear by feeling vibrations.
If she talks over the telephone, she
merely places the tip of her finger
on the receiver diaphragm. If she
is listening to someone converse, she
rests her fingly lightly on the per-
sons throat, shoulder or chest.
