Pittenger Praises Times Ex-

Afflicted,

Use OF radio in training the deaf

ple Of the school by The Times with
Che cooperation Of the Capitol Radio

Pittenger expressed pleasure over
the results and indicated the expert
nlcuts would be continued. During
the experiment children most OF them
rated totally deaf or nearly so, heard
music from a local dance orchestra
Some OF them heard announcements
although the latter were more diff
cult.
Il don't believe there Is such
thing as restoring hearing TO q person
totally deaf" Ptttenger said. but
most children considered deaf have a
latent hearing, although it is not us
able. do believe it is possible TO de
velop this hearing to such an extent
Il may become useful.

Explains st. Louis Methods

PittenGer told of experiments in de-
veloping the hearing OF the almost
totally deaf at the Central Institute
at st. Louis as showing that hearing
may be developed. Pupils are given
chalk and a blackboard. An in
strument sounds a musical note be-
hind them. They are instructed to
draw a line on the board when the
note sounds. He said after repeated
trials many children who did not hear
at first were able to hear the sound.
Later they would be able to dis
tinguish between a long note and two
short ones.
The younger children at the school
now are being given instruction in
pitch. They place their hands on a
piano and endeavor to distinguish be-
tween low notes and high ones. The
opinion was expressed that radio also
would be valuable in this connection
and that the children who had train
ing in pitch probably would be better
able to appreciate the sounds of the
music.

Sc DevelOpes Sense

Radio may become valuable in this
connections Constant listening TO the
intensified sound waves coming over
the receivers should serve to develop
hearing The children VIII try to hear
over the radio"
Some schools for the deaf use a
device Into which the instructor
speaks while the children listen by
means Of head phones. The opinion
was expressed that radio. so far as
listening to speech is concerned. prob
ably differs little from this system.
It was pointed out, however, that
many children at the school could dis
tinguish music vino could not hear
announcements. The radio possesses
this feature which is not possessed by
speaking instruments.

EXPECT BIC CROPS
Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
Seeding Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil 10
in Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly ia.
vcrable, the farmers OF Western Can.
ada, with the exception probably of
a portion of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than 70: some years past. In some
p2":s Of Manitoba there were floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated, and left the land in good shape
for quick work and speedy germlna-
tion. In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With a
generous quantity of snow, which after
melting left needed moisture, and an.
other snowstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an ideal condition
created. From all parts Of Alberta
there came the best of reports as to
rainfall aud snow moisture, leaving the
ground In the condition required for
the prospects Of a good crop.
Spring, as in most other parts of the
continent, was backward, but nOtwith-
standing this, as has been said, farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
n a for some years. In fact seeding
was practically commenced about the
= of April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when it is
known that several hundred miles far
ther south 1t was mo- possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand on the 10th Of May
state that wheat Is up above the
ground In a great many places, oats
being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
he demand has fallen off. One fea-
ture Of the demand for farm help is
that farmers are now employing help
by he year, at of course smaller wages
than those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
the year Is evidence that farmers are
not relying solely upon wheat growing.
but are going out into other branches,
such as dalrying. stock raising, etc.
The prospects in all portions Of West
ern Canada were never brighter than
at present. Information regarding the
condition Of the crops at any time will
be sent on request made to any Cana
dian government agent.-Advertise-
ment.

NEEDS OF The HOUR

E9ssp
What the railroads need Is a night
Waterman to arouse public attention
tO@the necessity for railway expansion
In the construction of new lines, more
locomotives. freight cars and terminal
facilities. Ii is deplOrahle that there
has been a decrease OF over 2,200 miles
Of road in the United States since 1916,
that there were more locomotives re-
tired than installed In 1922, that the
replacement of new for old freight
cars has not averaged over eighty per
cent a year, and that passenger equip
ment is equally behind in the matter
Of new cars.
In the face Of these handicaps, the
railways are being managed so eff
GENTLY that they are handling a greater
volume OF traffic than was ever known
for~the first three months Of the year.
Under such conditions car shortages
are inevitable. Railway managers,
however, are not discouraged, but on
faith are ordering new equipment and
other facilities at an unprecedented
rate. That faith must rest 81 the be-
lie that a few radical politicians am
not fool the people ali the time.
The Federal Constitution gives the
railways the right to earn a fair re-
turn upon the fair value Of their prop
erty devoted TO transportation. The
LaFollette Federal Valuation Act has
dried up the old cry of Water! Wa
ter" and gives assurance to the pub
lie Of a valuation based on law and
facts. In cooperation with the State
Railroad Commissions. the Interstate
Commerce Commission has lately
found the value of the railways as Of
December 81. 1927. to he S19.4l2. 2O1,-
600. and has fixed 5%% as a fair re.
turn thereon. This should result in a
net operating income of Sl.l16,O00.H H0.
The railways can earn this return II
the radicals will stop tearing up their
rails and give them a trial.
Rates and wages have reached an
equitable standard which, IL main
tanned, will yield satisfactory and pro-
gressive results. If wages go up. so
must rates; and II rates 60 down, so
must wages.
Present rates do not restrict traffic
and are not out Of proportion to the
value Of the goods transported. When
prices, wages and fuel costs approach
pre-war levels, II will he time TO talk
OF readjusting rates and wages. Team
work between the public, the railways
and their employees is the transporta-
tion need of the hour.
The foregoing facts call for serious
consideration and should make an a-
peal to all thinking persons.-Adver
tiSement. .

Cane Beetle Destroying S~ugar-Cane.
One of the most destructive Of all
insects to the farmer In Australia is
the zane beetle, which is still playing
navoc on the Sugar-"ane farms.
Recently, at Norham, in North
Queensland, a sugar-cane farmer gave
a contract to a nan to catch beetles
at IS cents a quart, and the beetle
catcher made 80 in three days. An
other man caught 1,G47 quarts of bee
ties in % days.
The high prices paid in order to de-
stroy these beetles give us an idea OF
the amount of destruction wrought by
the hordes Of these insects. -,

William Knowles Cooper.

william Knowles Cooper. general
secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, occupied the pulpit
of the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church yesterday morning and even
ing in the absence of the pastor. the
Rev. DR.. Earle Wiley, who is attend
ing the international convention of
the Disciples of Christ at Colorado
Springs. Col.
Two Conversions" was Mr.. Coopers
subject at the morning service. He
discussed the conversion of the
Apostle Paul as recorded in the book
of Acts, and the conversion of an
American business man as described
in Il recent magazine article. and drew
comparisons and lessons from the two
cases.
At the evening service Mr.. Cooper
spoke on conditions in Europe. as OBJ
served on hts recent journey through
fourteen countries of that continent Iii
central and eastern Europe the agri-
cultural workers, he said. We're more
prosperous than they had ever been,
hut the condition of the salaried, pro-
fessional and student classes was de-
plorable.
As an illustration of bad economic
conditions and deprecated currency,
he remarked that the railroad fare
from Warsaw to Berlin cost him S1.60
in American money, and that a room
and board in Austria cost 60 cents a
day. In Austria. where, the proper
tion of adult mea to adult women is
one to six, most of the work in the
fields was done by women.
