LESS BLINDNESS IN COUNTRY
Figures Reveal a Gratifying Decrease
Of Terrible Affliction Throughout
the United States.

Imagine, II you can, a city Of 10000
inhabitants, where every single soul is
totally blind; where doctor, lawyer,
chief, along with the rich
man, poor man, beggarman and thief,
are all in the same boat-sightless!
America has the makings of just
such a city. There are more than 12O,-
600 totally blind people in the United
States and many times that number
partly blind The terrible part Of it.
Is that more than 81 per cent of blind
ness is classed as preventable, large
portion being the result Of eyestrain.
. It IS encouraging to note, however,
that blindness in America has de-
creased. more than 20 per cent since
glasses have become more common.
Every other country has a far greater
percentage of blindness, and they show
q yearly increase. Three Of every ten
Americans wear glasses. Statistics
prove that seven of each ten have
enough eyestrain to warrant the wear
ing of correcting lenses. When we
realize. the relation of good vision to
health and happiness. 1t is hard to un-
derstand why so many people neglect
their eyes until they are permanently
injured. In the first draft Of Ameri-
can soldiers in 1917 bad sight caused
nearly three times rs many reflections
as any other physical defect. At the
time of the draft 2,510,7O6 men were
examined and 21.69 per cent were re-
..ected because of grossly defective
vision.-Illustrated World

there seems to be no doubt in the
minds of the Washington o1tlcials
that the effect Of the American pol
icies at Lausanne is tending slowly
to beat down the ugly secrecy and IN
trigue in European diplomacy.
When in the early stages OF inc
conflict, Richard Washourn Child the
American spokesman at Lausanne
made a statement to the negotlators
,of the United States strong stand tol
the principle Of the "open door" ano
against all secret treaties and agree
aments, the dispatches reported con-
sternation among the powers
This was one of the most lmpor-
.tant steps taken by the United States
at Lausanne. 1t showed that Secre-
tary of State Hughes intends to tign!
for the "open door" Of equality II
economic and commercial oppor-
tunity. =.
:. But that was not the only reaction
If ere to Cnild's announcement OF AM
erican policy on tbs point at Lau-
same. Observers here point out that
athe Old World system OF secre'
treaties and agreements is getting tc
be less and less profitable. Fewer and
fewer of such pacts ar ever taking
effect, thanks to the United States
Against Secret Diplomacy
The war against secret diplomacy
became popular when former Pres,
ident Wilson announced his policy OF
"open covenants, openly arrived at
during the World War. Now, with
Hughes vigorously prosecuting th>$
fight in Asia, Europe and all owe
the world, it is believed here thai
this principle may become an estab-
lished and recognized part OF the
law of nations in the near future.
The "open door, and secret
treaty declaration of this Govern
ment to the Lausanne Conference I'm
doubte idly did mark a divergence in
the policies Of the United States and
the great Allied powers, for this
stand of the United States certainly
struck at some of the plans of the
powers of Turkey. Another diver
gance in policy will be that the Unit
ed States will have separate treaty
with Nationalist Turkey and will not
be a signatory to the general treaty
of peace between the Allies, Greece
and Turkey to be worked out at Lau-
same to replace the Treaty of Sew
res. The United States will not be a
part to the treaty of peace because
it was not at war with Turkey.
However, the United States un'
doubtedly will be found working in
cooperation with the Allies on a
great majority of the problems at
Lausanne, such as the questions OF
the freedom of the Straits and o1

BRUSHES FOR HOUSEHOLD
Glasses, Which Are Brist'e, Hair,
and Fiber. =

There are two classes of brushes,
those with backs and those with
out. These come in bristle, in hair and
in fiber. 1t is fiber and bristles that
are of special interest in discussing
household needs.
The backless brush has the ad-
vantage of being usable in any posi-
tion and thereby being at least twice
as long-lived as the brush whose only
working surface is one side. These
brushes are maryelously made and the
bristles, hair, fiber, or fabric (mops)
are so fastened in as to make falling
bristle almost an impossibility. These
brushes come in every department Of
house life: toilet, bath, pantry, laun-
dry, clothes. kitchen, halls and walls.
The Russian pony, gives the best horse
hair, and the wild boar gives the most
and best bristles. The test for the
bristle is that it will not break If
bent back and Mil spring into place
again. The haig and. 3bristle when
burned give a characteristic hair odor.
The fiber, brush, though cheaper
brush, is adapted to things for which
the bristle brush is not adapted. The
fiber makes a good scrubbing brush,
but the bristle would not be stiff
enough. Many fbers are made to look
like bristle, but the bristle test will
save you from a rash purchase. The
bristle brush is expensive and so is
the brush of camel or badger hair
from which painting and shaving
brushes are made.

The summer, approximately 100 dif-
frreut automobiles brought guests
from other states into Minnesota to
partake of it's wonderful recreation
al facilities, while every train
brought large numbers in addition.
Allowing tor all duplication, this
means that more than 100000 visit
ors from other states spent $helr
summer vacations in Minnesota.
And what did they do while they
were here? For one thing they spent
lot of money. To see just how
much money the average tourist does
spend in Minnesota, the Ten Thous-
and Lakes Association sent ques-
tionaires to large number of visit
ors registered on its books during the
summer.
MANY of these visitors replied that
thew spent as much as $1,000 and
some even more. The replies show
ed that the average for every man,
woman and child was approximately
$50. In other words, every single
person who comes to see Minnesota S
lakes, while he is here, spends 500
in Minnesota stores, hotels, garages
and resorts.

industries in Minnesota, it would ap-

Another man got so much enjoy

He spent $4,000 in the erection OF

Then he turned to these friends, the
same emOtionless, inscrutable dark and
silent Indian that he had always been.
This parting was nothing to him. He
had stayed to pay a debt, and now he
was going home.
He shook hands with the men, swept
dark fleeting glance over Nell, and
rested his strange eyes upon Mercedes
beautiful and agitated face. It must
have been a. moment of intense feeling
for the Spanish girl. Sic owed it to
him that, she had life and love and
happiness. She held out those speak
ing slender hands. But Yaqui did not
touch them. Turning away, he mount
ed the broncho and rode down the
trail toward the river.

"Home!" whispered Ladd; and Dick
knew the ranger had felt the resurging

They climbed while the others re-
turned to the. house. When they
reached the summit of the hill Yaqui
was riding up the far bank Of the river.
"He will turn to look-to wave good
by?" asked Nell.
Dear he is an Indian" replied Gale.
From the height they watched him
ride through the mosquitoes, up over the
river bank to enter the cactus. His
mount showed dark against the green
and white, and for long time he was
plainly in sight. The sun hung red
in a golden sky. The last the watch.

across a ridge and stood silhouetted
against the gold of desert sky-a wild,
lonely, beautiful picture. Then he was
gone.
Strangely it came to Gale then that
he was glad. Yaqu had returned to
his own-the great spaces, the desola-
tion, the solitude-to the trails he had
trOdden when child trails haunted
now by ghosts of his people, and ever
by his gods. Gale realized that in the
Yaqui he had known the spirit Of the
desert, that this spirit had claimed NJ

Miss Embrey Experi- ments Under Direction of Governor General Wood One to Ten Pounds Gain Made.

Manila. P. I. April 13-Oae hun dred and ten lepers on Culion Island gained from one to ten pounds each in three weeks under the influence of foods chosen by Miss Hartley Elm brey, food chemist of the Rockefeller Foundation. Miss En1brey who came to the Philippines several months ago for the purpose of studying the lation and of improving the diet, has Culion where 5000 1epers are con fined.
 At the suggestion of Governor General Wood, Miss Enibrey expert mented with 200 lepers of the colony on Culion. 150 adults and 50 children. The lepers under treatment were separated from the other 1epers given uniform food of mungo or fish for proteine. vegetables and rice or corn for cah'bO Ohydrates. The chi1- dren were given one glass of milk each day.
 E'Thirty-fve per cent of the adults and 80 per cent of the children gained in weight said Miss Enfbrey. We used an outdoor kitchen, cook d the foods ourselves and served them. The best thing about it was that the food we used was not expensive. The colony needs money and proper su- pervision- Without these hot much can be hoped for"

Tumulty Explains
 "Wilson Message

Washington. April 1S-Joseph R. rumulty, former secretary to ex- President Wilson. explained yester- day some of the mystery that sur rounded his delivery of a so-ca1led ..Milson Message" to the National Democratic Club banquet in New York last Saturday night which wit messed the launching or what some political observers termed a Cox boom." The message aroused a null titude of comment in Democratic po- htica1 circles, friends of MT. Wilson asserting that he had no spokes- man, and casting doubt on the au- thent1clty of the message which was presented to the banquet along with a lot of telegrans from prominent personages. MT. Wilson sent no telegram said Tunulty today. EThe message read at the banquet came merely as a casual conversation I had with MT. Wilson Friday in which he said he would support any candidate who stood for justice to all He sim ply gave a casual message to me in a casual manner and it had nothing to do with any individual or political situation.''

Dayton. O.. April 1s = Ldeutenant John A. Macready,- McCook Field altitude record of 40, 800 feet last Sep teInber, is engaged in making scientif- fc preparations for another history making fight which cost him his life.
 In setting the record he went as go, with the Le Pere plane equipped as it then was. In other words, he reached an altitude where the atmos- pheric pressure was only three pounds charger refused to function properly in that rarefed strata of air.
 A supercharger of greater capacity and efficiency has been constructed, and upon its efficiency he believes it will be possible to reach 55, 1000 feet. At any rate, that is the altitude he hopes to reach in safety, if his plane, motor and body hold together and do what is expected of them under con ditions existing at that tremendous altitude.
 A number of things may happen. For one thing the supercharger may plane may crumple, and the pilots body may explode.
 Body May Blow Up.
 Macready is going to make the at tempt fully equipped to meet any of the first three emergencies. How ever, should his body go to pieces, as is the case when an animal is placed in a beu-jar and all air remov- ed, Macready would be but another martyr to the science of avia- tion.
 Although he realizes that certain danger exist in the realm of air which have never been penetrated before, Macready is calmly proceeding witr his plans. On the occasion of his eight-naile ascent the world was as founded, and so was he. He had merely set out for a joyride to see how high he could go. At 10000 feet he became groggy; he suffered intensely from the cold and experienced a puffy feeling due to the thin atmosphere. And then. his supercharger refused to function properly. In other words
