was reported last night by the local

that $500. 900 ought to be raised in
Washington without great diff.

1t was pointed out by the com.
mittee, which is headed by Frank
J. Hogan, a member of the Law
School faculty and Washington at
torney. that there are approximate.
ly 200 graduates of Georgetown
residing in Washington.
The first thing the committee will
do is to organize teams, each
headed by a captain. selected from
among the alumni in accordance

Spectacles are doomed to pass out
of existence and eye defects and
blindness will be unheard of in the
course Of years. according to
Melania Lipinska. famous Polish
blind physician, who Is touring
America, gathering information with
which she hopes to tighten the
burdens of the blind.
THE plague of eye diseases which
has touched practically every Amer
lean family is the direct result of
the ignorance of the present genera
ton. 1t Is not the officials. as laws
do not govern civilization-it is the
internal and mental development
which is necessary in abolishing eye
defects" she said.
TELLS OF REMEDIES.
Proper diet. exercise. and educa.
ton were the cures outlined by DR..
Lipinska for erasing the evil. San
cases where blindness exists and
where the optical nerve has not
been destroyed, can be cured by
these methods" she said.
She divided the blind into two
classes. saying persons born blind
need different treatment from those
who develop blindness during the
later years OF life.
She encouraged laws governing
marriage, declaring that it was
only a matter Of time before per.
sons anticipating matrimony will bt
compelled to undergo rigid exami
nations. "All blind births are 9
direct result of illness of the par
ents There Is absolutely no ex
ceptions," she said.
METHODS OF BIRTH.
DIR. Lipinska outlined a method
of treatment at birth which woult
alleviate the fear Of developing
blindness in later life. Blindness
developed in later life Is a resul
of defects in the spinal column ol
of the digestive organs and blooc
circulation. A child at brit
should be examined, when all spina
defects should be corrected. Thi
would alleviate one-half Of tn,
blindness and eye diseases of thu
present day.

FINANCE
AND
BUSINESS
b D. @ FORBES.

Many business men and many
friends of business are on the
wrong track.
Pessimism is so unpopular and
optimism so popular in this
wonderful land that business
leaders and others feel that the
best thing to do is to paint ultra
bright pictures of the present
situation and of the future.
This is an unwise course to
follow at this time.
You must have noticed that al
most every time you pick up a
Sswspaper or a business periodi-
cal, dazzling, optimistic headlines
meet your eyes. Schwab is re-
ported as predicting the biggest
business ever; President Mitch
ell, Of the largest bank in Ameri-
ca, returns from Europe with a
cheerful description of condi-
tions there; the Federal Reserve
Board gives a glowing account
Of the boomy conditions through
out our own country; the White
House, the Department of Com
merce and other Washington in
stitutions and departments all
indulge In enthusiastic superla-
tives over the lovely state of
business affairs.
With what result?
Why, the farmers have become
convinced that it is time for
them to receive a more generous
share of the wonderful business
bountifulness they read so much
about, and they accordingly de-
mand prompt and sweeping re-
duction Of railway rates, the set
ting aside of uncounted millions
OF money for them at cheap
rates. and other action calculated
to help agriculture and hurt
business.
Many Washington politicians
reason that, since business is
becoming boomy so tremend-
ously as it is now, as strong
as the Rock of Gibraltar, no
harm will be done if heavily
increased taxes are levied upon
surpluses and profits and other
tax measures conjured up to
compel capital" to pay a
heavier share of the national
burden.
Then, depend on it, that be-
fore very long leaders are go
ing to demand that the workers
receive better participation in
all this delightful prosperity
they are constantly hearing and
reading about.
Consumers of many varieties
Of merchandise are going to
raise a howl when they are
told they must pay increased
prices, for they will protest
that, since everything has been
going along so swimmingly,
there is no excuse for corpora
tions and other suppliers tag
ging something on the price,
and they add to incite another
buyers strike"
The popular notion in this
country is that it is always
best to be optimistic. Usually,
1t is well and wise to be op-
timistic, because the long,
broad trend is for our young,
rich industrious country to go
forward and upward.
But there are times when it
Is dangerous not to place un-
pleasant facts before them.
This is such a time.
If / could feel for one moment
that the business position were
absolutely impregnable, capable
Of withstanding any and every
conceivable assault, then / would
say let the agrarian interests
dictate slashing reductions in
railway rates; let the farmers
bloc pass whatever drastic legis-
lation it has a mind to; let Con-

Outwardly she was serene
always. To herself she confessed
that she was afraid. Afraid of
being alone with him; afraid of
that passion which she knew was
still surging within him. She had
borne a very great deal. She had
suffered for years wearily, and for
a little while, upon his amazing
and unexpected return, intolerably.
The remembrance of that suf-
fering frightened her. During the
last six weeks, before accident had
once NOR plunged him headlong
into her life, she had gradually be-.
come numbed; had shut all
thought Of what had passed de-
liberately away from her. And
she did not want the old pain, the
old wild passion re-awakened now.

know happiness. And peace could

constant contact with Dan-if she
gave him even the smallest oppor-
tunity of letting loose the pent up
emotion within him.
With this knowledge ever before
her, she avoided him as much as
hospitality would permit. This was
not so easy when he was able to
hobble downstairs with Sally on
one side and the manservant on
the other. Still less was it easy
when the support of a cane was
all he found necessary.
He was no longer a prisoner.
There was the possibility of COM
ing upon him at any moment.

radeship. With Sally to keep one
amused it was impossible to suffer
from ennui, even with a bandaged
head, Jared knee, and a sprained

CHAPTER XVII.

TOR one week Dan Revell was
r confined to his room. The
injuries to his head were suf-
ficiently bad to make quiet and
bed necessary. A Jared knee and
badly sprained ankle made him
prisoner in his own apartments
long after the bandages were re-
moved from about his temples.
After the first week he was a
fortnight crippled, so that his en-
tire time was spent between his
bedroom and the cool, spacious
sitting room opening out of it.
During those three slow-passing
weeks Sally, with serene detemina-
ton, constituted herself Ms. nurse.
She declared, in reply to protests,
that her dogs had caused the &C.
cident. incidentally she adored
nursing. Added to which she re-

garded trained nurses as beneath
contempt.
She accepted the assistance of
Billy's manservant rather grudg-
ingly until Dan was no longer
really helpless. Then she re-
linquished the hurt guest to that
worthy and efficient individuals
skilled ministrations, and there
after assumed the role of enter
tainer-in-chief.
AS a matter of fact no other
member of the household appeared
over desirous of sharing her place
with her. Billy had put in an un-
comfortable appearance in RevelPs
room twice, when he was fully con-
valescent, and sent messages as to
his welfare at correct intervals.
Fancy delayed a personal visit
until Dan was comfortably estab-
lished in his sitting room. She
came serenely, yet unwillingly, in
to his presence, and was both re-
lieved and irritated to find Sally
in charge.
The latter was a shrewd young
person, and did not fail to discover
that Fancy was by no means as
much at her ease as she would
h. CLA Il xxrkx,
in those rare moments of idleness
when she had time for wondering,
and finally dismissed the subject
from her mind as being of no i'm
portance.
Dan Revell did not possess her
penetration. To him Fancy ap-
peared astonishingly and discon-
certingly calm and unperturbed.
He could find no flicker of en-
barrassment in her clear gaze, no
tremor in the cool, light, brief
clasp of her smooth ringed fingers.
She neither fingered over her
visit, nor hurried to get away.
She commiserated with him on his
misfortune, commented on the
strangeness Of Chance in bringing
him to their very doors at the
time of his accident, and assured
him graciously and very sweetly
that all should be done to speed
his recovery and make him COM
Portable.
Her attitude amazed and
startled him. II chagrined him
also. Her utter coolness was like
. a blow in the face, from which
he did not find it at all easy to
recover. He was baffled, non
plussed, completely at loss.
Yet he was not without a certain
feeling of relief. Her matter-of-
fact greeting had turned some
what awkward and impossible sit
uation into a very ordinary one.
He admired her manner of effect
ing this, while, manlike, he re-
sented il. He resented, too, her
failure to .evince keener distress
and anxiety. He might have
been the merest acquaintance, in
stead
There he stopped short, stirring
restlessly. In his perplexity he
waxed a trifle sullen. His hand
some face remained dark and
brooding long after she had, with
the smooth excuse that Billy was
waiting to drive with her, taken
herself leisurely out of his room.
Thereafter she had paid him a
daily visit, generally choosing the
ten minutes Immediately before
dinner, making her appearance
fresh from the hands of her maid,
and contriving always that Sally
should be n the room at the same
time.
