GIRL ATHLETES BACK

Bringing another large contingent
of returning vacationists, who have
been in England and through Europe
on pleasure and business, the Maure-
tania and Saxonia of the Cunard fleet
arrived here yesterday. The former
ship had an unusually large passen-
ger list of 1876 on board. including a
number of men prominent in business
and international politics. Due to
turbine trouble, which developed while
at sea, the Mauretania will be forced
TO postpone her record speed trip of
making England in five days, which
, was scheduled for Tuesday Instead
this big liner and the others of the
Cunard fleet will be kept busy bring
ing back the large number of home
coming Americans who are thronging
into the European ports and awaiting
ships to take them to this country.
It was estimated that more than 10,-
coo European travellers passed through
the port yesterday. either returning from
or headed out for Europe. This marked
one of the heaviest days experienced hv
shipping men in what has been a record
breaking summer as far as European
Il affic is concerned.

was any startling amount of rehabiiita-
ton being done throughout Europe.
Il was very much surprised both in

is no doubt that a very real danger over

DELAWARE REPORTS
139 BLIND PERSONS

Special to The Evening Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-There
we're 139 blind persons in Delaware
at the time Of the taking Of the four
teenth census in 1920, it was an
nounced today by the Bureau Of
Census. There was 62.S per 100000
population which is somewhat above
the average for the United States.
There were practically twice as
many blind males as females. the
figures being; Males, 81, females, AS.
The total number Of blind white per
sons was los. and Negro, 81.
At the same time the Census Bu-
reau announced that there were 52,-
612 blind persons in the United
States in 1920. In 1910 the number
was 57,272. Although this decrease
Of 4.635. il is said, may be in some
degree the result OF a change in the
method Of reporting the blind. II
probably indicates at least in part
an actual decrease in the amount OF
preventable blindness. consequent
upon the improvement in medical
knowledge and the education OF the
public regarding the possibility and
duty Of preventing blindness.
According to the fourteenth cen
sus there are 49.S, or nearly so blind
persons to 10000 population. or an
average OF one blind person to every
1900 population.
