Blind Boy Wins
 School Honors

Honolulu, Aug. A - Scholastic leadership at the University Of Hawaii for the college year which has just closed goes to a blind boy, Henry B1indt. third year student in the college of arts and sciences.
 Besides attaining an average grade of 93 in all his subjects during the year, thus leadiT the entire student body in scholarship, Bindt took an active part in college activities, being elected president of the student body for the ensuing year, president of the literary club, and president of his class. He was also one of the few students to be chosen as chatter mem bers of the newly organized student honor society.
 Bindt does his studying by the aid of readers and a dictaphone, using also text books printed in the Ameri- can Braille system of raised letter writing. He takes no lecture notes, depending entirely on his memory, which his instructors say is remark ably developed.
 The honor system was adopted at the University of Hawaii during the last year largely as a result of Bindt's efforts in featuring to students and faculty on the advantages of the system. The blind boy received his early schooling in the California School for the Blind at Berkeley, California.

Cripple Creek Stages A Real
 Comeback

Cripple Creek, Colo, Aug. 24.-Ihe Cripple Creek Camp. once the great into it's own again, after period or comparative inactivity since 1918, with the reopening of many old work ings and the discovery of new veins of rich ore.
 Rich surface" strikes, recently made in the camp, are drawing scores of prospectors to the camp, and, with new machinery being installed in nu- merous underground mines, Cripple Creek is staging a real come back as a gold-producing centre.
 Finding rich gold ore at grass roots at the same time that new veins were 900 feet below the earth's surface is one of the freak developments of the new prosperity in the camp.
 ssStumb1es'' On Gold
 Sol Cain, one of the pioneer pros pectors of Cripple Creek, literally 'stubbed his toe" on a body of ore of great extent and value, less than a dozen feet below the surface, at a point over which countless feet have trodden for 30 years-since the precious yellow metal was first locat- ed in the shadow of Pike's Peak here. Cain is taking ore from his shallow shaft valued as high as $500 of gold to the ton and has a real gold mine in the making.
 Other important strikes have been made rercently at or near the surface, and mining men are declaring at the day of the grass root minet has returned.
 The famous Portland mine, x from which millions of dollars worth of ore have been taken in the past, has To- cated an immense body of ore at a depth of 2,600 feet, the lowest pro- ducing level in the state of Colorado, and ore is being taken from this new vein which has settled for as high as $10,000 to the ton at the mill.
 All Producing Again
 Practically every active mine in the Cripple Creek field is producing gold ore running two, three and four ounces or better to the ton-at a time when one ounce gold is considered profitable production.
 From the early nineties, when gold was first discovered in the Cripple Creek regnon, until Americas entry into the World War, the fame of this camp spread until Cripple Creek was a name to conjure with among min ing men throughout the entire world. Huge fortunes had been extracted from the nearby hills, but war prices for powder, steel, coal, labor yellow dust from mother earth made gold mining highly improbable, with the price of gold standing still at S20.67 per ounce.
 As a consequence many mines here were forced to close; miners drifted away to other employments and the greatest gold camp in the world' took on Q look of desolation.
 With better mining conditions now prevailing and fabulous finds being made on every side in old and new properties, the faith of those who stuck to the camp through the dark days of depression and decline is be- ing vindicated, and today Cripple Creek is making rapid strides toward 8 new goal of prosperity that is at tracting widespread attention among mining men and capitalists through out the country. Mines are reopen ing; prospectors are again dotting the hillsides, and the great gold camp has taken on new lease of life.

FAIRFIELD

More than 15O students will enter the Fairfield High school this year. The present building was originally planned to hold 150 students but the enrolment will now be over $50.

 An addition has been planned for some time on the old building, and bids will soon be in order. The new addition would not be finished until next summer and something has to be done to take care of the entering freshman class. Many children who live in Bridgeport near the Fairfiel line will go to the Fairfield High school by choice, and this adds many more to the list. The children who live out of town have to pay a sum of money before they will be allowed to enter the schools in Fairfield.

Masoras To Honor
 Washia gtor1 With
 Handsome Temple

With the turning of the first sod on beautiful spot on the outskirts of ; Alexandria, Va, overlooking the na- ] tiona1 capitol. work has begun on a which will be a fitting companion piece to the Lincoln emorial at Washington.
 The edifice, a stately temple in- | spired by Greek and Roman archi- | lecture, is being erected by the com bined efforts of all the Masons and Masonic orders in the United States, and will be a. tribute to Washington, the man and Mason. It will be 200 feet from portico to observation plat form on the top, and will be surround ed by an extensive landScaped gar den to be known as George Wash ington park. It is expected that the memorial will be completed in from four to five years. The cost will be approximately $2,5o0,000.
 Constructed of snowy marble and ture will tower high above the river and will stand out from a background of densely verdured hillsides, a fit ting tribute, visible for miles, and tion's s11nes Mount Vernon.
 Every Masaon has been asked to con- tribute a dollar toward the fund, and alrsady mor~s than s700.000 has been c11ected. Additional pledges @ bring sonic orders and individuals contri- 'uting S300 toward the fund will be Ie~eed upon the charter roll to be kept among the temple archives.
 The building, according to archi- tects, will be after the style of hero memorials placed at harbor entrances of ancient Greek and Roman cities.
 The first floor will be given over largely to a memorial hall, the com rnanding feature of which will be a heroic statue of Washington. How ever, the memorial as a whole will be dedicated also to the memories of oth- CT great Masons of the country.
 Such men as Paul Revere, repre- eenting ssachusetts; De Witt Clin- ton, New York; Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania; Henry Clay, Lewis and Clark, Blair, Randolph and many others have been suggested to be re- membered thus as prominent history making Masons.

 American Buyers Visitors

Deauvi1le, Aug. 24-American fash ion buyers almost without exception are week-ending in Deauvil1e to com pare the styles as they are worn in the Casino, the worlds greatest fash ion exhibition, with the new models now being exhibited in the Paris openings.
 Long Gowns Are Prevailing Mode
 Ankle length gowns are almost the rule. Short dancing frocks have prac- tfca1ly disappeared. The sleeveless gown is equally compulsory, greatly to the disadvantage of a number of matrons who are not greatly f1attered by the new exhibition of their per- sons, but who nevertheless are bow ing to the dictates of the Deauville mode.

A1exandropo1, Armenia, Aug. 24.- Especial correspondencel - Several veterans of the World War, are among refugees in ruined Armenian farm villages of this district, according to workers of the Near East Relief.
 They return to their native homes from the States in 1920, hoping to find mothers or, in some cases, wives and children from whom they had been cut off by the outbreak of world war in 1914. They came, each with a thousand dollars or so, prepared to take back to the safety of America such immediate relatives as they could find.
 Bat they aT wene caught in anGtheF 1920. and lost all, barely escaping with their lives.
 The majority were able to rescue

For this reason, the refugee 'tvets' saying that they count their return take their troubles philosophically, journey from America as fortunate since they have found their people A Chicago youth, whose name is withheld. was not so fortunate. His wife and two children were killed and of eleven men in his fathers family. only five are left. Twelve hundred dollars which he brought back were taken by invaders.
