MOVIES FOR BLIND POSSIBLE, BELIEF
 OF INVENTORS
Are movies for the blind possible?

Are movies for the blind possible?
 An inventor is now working at the Chicago Rothacker film laboratories on a pan whereby the blind ecould at least approximate the sensation or "seeing" motion pictures. This lnVen- tor already has several important scientific discoveries to his credit ana his new cause was such a worthy one that watterson R. Rothacker assign ed him a corner of the laboratory as a workshop and instructed the 1abora- tory technical staff to be or any as- sistance possible.
 The fundamental principle Of the sought for invention Is new ma terial which would be super-sensi- tive to light. The inventor says he Is making progress toward perfect ing this new material. The blind person would sit in darkened room with a strip of this material drawn tightly over the palm of his hand. machine motion pictures would be projected onto this material just. as onto a theatre screen at present. This material, being so ultra-sensitive to light, would have the effect of ac- centuating the light and shadows, as 1t were, to the point where the blind person could feel the movements, or play, of the lights and shadows.
 The inventor, of course, does not claim that blind persons ever will be able to experience the full beauty of a motion picture. but that they will be able to follow the action of a pho todrama. He says that the invention he Is striving for should seem no more impossible than movies themselves or the photograph would have been con- sidered 100 years ago.

WOMAN VOTE AND
 LABOR ARE CHIEF
 FACTORS IN OHIO
Attitude of Both Elements Will Determine Makeup of Tickets; No Indication of Unaninity.
By WILLIAM J.~HUSKE,

Cleveland, Aug. 7-Labor, restive and sullen, and the woman vote. an unknown quality, are the chief factors as voters of both parties prepare to nominate candidates for the United States senatorial and governor in the state wide primaries in President Harding's home state tomorrow.
 The attitude of these two elements, 1t is conceded, will largely determine the make up of the tickets, but thus far there has been no indication that they will vote as a unit for any cand1- dates. The immense field entered for the Republican nomination for gover- nor, for which there are nine cand1- dates and divisions along other lines, has prevented a qualification of this vote although the union labor vote in inc contests for the senatorial con tests will be cast against Senator AtIee Pomerene and Congressman Simon D. F'ess, political observers say. It is not believed, however, that iapor can defeat either veteran legislator and all prophets unite in predicting their nomination.
 As to the governorshfp, however, 1t Is claimed that the effect of the coal and the railroad strikes has been to align the labor element pretty strong Iy against Col. Carmi A. Thompson, with every other active candidate falling heir to some of this support. Thompson, @ Cleveland business man, Is making his campaign upon support of the administration of President Harding and a promise to use busi- ness methods in conducting the af- fairs of the government
 In addition to Thompson these Re- publtcans are seeking the nomination for the governorship tomorrow:
 Congressman Charles L. Knight, Of Akron. ,
 Secretary of State, Harvey Smith. Lof Columbus.
 State Senator, Arthur H. Day, Of Cleveland.
 G. Homer Durand, of Coshocton. Rupert R. Beetham. of Cad1Z. sneaker of the Ohio House of Repre- sentatives.
 Daniel W. Williams of Jackson; Harry Clay Smith of Cleveland and J. w. Durneu, of Columbus.

Another Noblenan
 Feels Pinch of
 Strenuous Times

London, Aug. The Duke of Northumberland is hard up, as are many other members of the old mo- bility in these days of excessive taxa tion, and is compelled to retrench like many untitled folk in order to make both ends meet.
 He has sold many of his northern properties, including several large ho- tels. To a wealthy Paris art dealer he recently rented his magnificent mansion on the Thames, near Kew. It is one of the biggest residences in the country.
 And still the duke feels the neces- sity of cutting down expenses. He has decided to close. Alnwick Castle, which has been the Northumberland d home of the Percys since early in the 1 4th century. He will retain only a few rooms in the castle for use when he and the duchess are in the north. The rest of the place will be shut up. The shooting on the estate is to be let

Slight Increase In
 Last Weeks Coal
 Receipts; Still Low

Washington, Aug. IA slight in crease in the production of coal was obtained last week, the Geological Survey has announced.
 Production for the week was esti- mated at 4,25O,000 tons. as compared with 39330O0 tons the previous week.
 The increase, said the Survey, is d1e to improved car supply and not due to the reopening of any mines that have been closed down since the strike.
 While above the preceding week S figures, the production last week still shows a decline of 100000 tons from the weekly production prior to the shopmen's strike, showing that the rail strike is crippling production vistually 25 per cent

RUSSIA'S DEATH TOLL OVER
ESTIMATED

It Is possible that the Russian
PEASANTS lifelong experience in ex-
listing under serious deprivations has
enabled him to get through the de-
plorable conditions OF the past win
ter of Bolshevist rule in many in
stances where otherwise he would
have persisted. Anyhow the crafty
ing news comes that the death toll
is far less than was supposed pos
sible last fall.
Then It was estimated that from
FIVE to fifteen million of the inha BIZ
tants Of the Volga valley must starve
before spring. 1t now appears that
the great majority OF them have
managed, what with American relief
and the fact that the peasant stom-
ach has been able to dispose of the
substitutes eaten for bread, to sur
vive, though there have been horri-
BILE conditions in some of the viii
lagos farthest from transportation
facilities and there are we'll sub
stantiatcd reports Of cannibalism
being resorted to in some cases. 1t
is probable that many of the peasants
were cunning enough to conceal
some Of their store of grain from the
soviet authorities.

SMOKERS-AT1ENTlON

Here are some suggestions from
2. T. Coolidge, Sec'y. of the Maine
Forestry Association, which it is a
pleasure to endorse:
THE season when forest fires are
most prevalent in Maine has arrived.
Already there have been serious fires
in Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and southern Maine. The same con-
dition will prevail all through Maine,
as the woods become dry, before the
green leaves are fully out. The sea-
son is beginning with just as dry
weather as we had last year. During
the last twenty years 5000 or $4,000
acres, on an average, have been
burned over in Maine every year.
These burned lands will yield no
more than a desert, for the next
generation or two. They will afford
no chances for logging operations, no
pulpwood or saWlogs for manufac-
ture, no camp supplies to be sold by
the stores, no business, no jobs.
What are we going to do to improve
these conditions?
You can do something to show
your loyalty to the best interests of
the State by being eternally careful
with the use of smoking materials
and matches, as we'll as with camp
fires, in or about the woods. Don't
throw lighted matches or cigars or
cigarettes from an automobile to the
side OF the road. Put them out, or
drop them in some puddle, so that
there will he no danger of their blow
ing into the dry leaves. To drop
lighted matches or smoking material
on the floor is dangerous enough.
but it cannot be done in the woods
when the old leaves are at all dry,
without starting a fire.
IF YOU see someone careless with
fire, explain the danger, and get his
cooperation in taking care. You can
do something for the material benefit
of your state by helping the Forest
Commissioner in his work of pre-
venting and eXtinguishing fires.
How much aid can Wo contribute to
reduce the area burned oycr~ every
year?
Governor Baxter has proclaimed
the week of May to the 14th as for
est protection week. Care with fire
is needed all the time. He has also
proclaimed May S as Arbor Day.
This is equally az good a day for
planting trees as April %, which was
proclaimed by President Harding to
be the National Arbor Day. May
is a good time, and not too late, to
plant trees in our northern climate.
and it is never too late to be careful
with fire in the woods"

The fighting now going on around
Pekin is the seventh attempt in ten
years to settle Chinese political diff
fercnccs by an appeal to arms. In
these ten years China has been drift

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe Of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Hair that loses It's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray. dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack OF sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of 9TH
err ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly, that nobody. can possibly tell
it has been applied. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY
morning the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, 1T
also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance of abund-
