Miss LoveIia HiIty Teaches In
School Fer Blind At Topeka.

School Fer Blind At Topeka.
Mrs. +. NJ. NOrthcraft has received
basket which she ordered some-
time ago from young boy in the
school for the blind at Topeka.
Miss Lovelia Hilty, herself blind,
who formerly lived In Enterprise
now teaches in the Topeka school,
and spoke before the State Fedora
tion of Women at Hutchinson,
where Mrs. Northcraft heard her.
She is anxious to interest people in
the work Of the school and Its pupils
and urges others not to have such
depressing sympathy for those who
are blind. Mrs. Northcraft quoted
Miss Hilty as saying that many
times the blind are hindered in their
of useful life by
the blighting sympathy which pities
them but does nothing to help them
help themselves. There are many
things which blind people can do
and the newly organized school in
Topeka is for the purpose of teach
ing them to do these things. Miss
Hilty herself is an accomplished
violinist.
The basket Mrs. Northcraft pur-
chased is an example of the attrac-
i've weaving done at the school and
hose more advanced In the art

the case, an engineering company be-
ing practically the same as the infan-
try, with the exception that the mer

true in economy. says the bureau of
engineering of the department of the
interior, and in view of a possible
coal shortage this winter, the house
holder will have to be very econom-
zeal in its use.
The engineering bureau has COM
piled few facts on coal and its use
to aid the public until coal returns to
normal production The main point
Of the bureaus papers is the need for
economy in burning coal.
1t has been stated by good author
j.y, the paper said, that 25 per cent
of the coal wasted in home heating
can be saved. The main point in
economy is cleanliness of the plant,
as SCOT is an insulator against trans
ference Of heat and must be kept
out of the furnace and pipes.
