Thrills By Touch
In Finger Reading

Louisville, Sept. PA. P. by Main
-Labor1ous as finger reading NAV
appear. it possesses all the delights
and charms that sight reading gives
and perhaps it has even an added
thrill because greater concentration
is possible, in the opinion of Miss
Rosanna McKann, secretary for the
American Printing House for the
Blind. Miss McKann is actively on.
gagged in the work at the printing
plant here, which is the largest es.
adjustment of its kind in the world
The embossed book, according to
Miss McKann, is the cornerstone Of
the education of the blind. The
books of the American Printing
House for the Blind go to libraries
throughout this country, to the
Philippines, Hawaii and other dis
tant parts of the world.
The federal government yearly
gives $4,000 toward the upkeep Of
the printing institution In addition
to text | .oks, the printing house
turns out the best in literature and
music, with a considerable supply Of
current fiction.
Through the cooperation of the
American Bible Society and other
organizations, the Bible is made
available to the blind in several
kinds of embossed print. The en-
bossed books are necessarily larc,
and cumbersome. The New Tesla
ment in Revised Braille consists Of
seven IL by IA inch volumes. The
Revised Braille will become after
time the one universal uniform sys-
TEN in use by all blind readers, ac-
cording to Miss McKann, who has
made an extensive study Of all sys-
TENS.
The production of embossed books
is a costly process, Miss McKann
says, because of the unusual labor
involved and the comparatively small
number of copies required.

being $500 or 1921, who said that as
she made copy of the bill there
were found errors in multiplying and

lift off the feeling of heaviness. they
stop sour risings or heart burn. they
actually assist in the digestion of food
the most invaluable aids to health to

mouths of SaXville gossips. Moreover,
her parents approved of Kenneth and,
being an ease-loving creature, Vic
toria preferred approval to disap-
proval. But Kenneth knew that she
had never let her heart get the best
of her head SO far as he was con-
cerned
But with another man it might
be different. Several years ago Vic.
toria had been fascinated by Sam
Travers. She had had the good sense
to conceal this fascination when the
lad got himself into trouble and left
town. But now that he had returned
to Saxville-handsome and dashtng-
accompanied by good clothes and an
expensive motor car-would it not
be quite natural for Victoria to yielo
once more to his charms?
The One Important Thing
Kenneth Lang had meant what he
said when he told his mother if Vic
tial confessions of devotion she
that Victoria was not the kind of a
girl Ito do this-even If she cared
for him. Her recent silence had
proven to him that she had become
absorbed in some one else-probablS
Sam Travers. He hoped she had.
Anyway, he was not going to worry
unnecessarily about her. Matters
would adjust themselves. All he
cared about at present was Ruth. II
she loved him, nothing else in the
world mattered--except that his
mother should not know how far the
AFFAIR had gone until he and Ruth
had had their talk together.
After that he would accompany his
parent to Saxville. Here he would
SEQ Victoria, would tell her the truth,
and ask her to be frank with him. II,
as he suspected, she was in love with
Sam Travers, she would be only too
glad to tell him--Kenneth Lang
that she cared for, him only as 8
friend.
81 will be sister 10 your she
would say with her loud laugh.
After all, she was pretty good
sort. Too good to be thrown away
on a man like Travers. Yet--if she
wanted him-she ought to be allo ed
