ENGLAND SEEKING TO SHOW HER TAXES TOP
Taxation Almost Three Times As
 Heavy As In U. $.

Heavy AS In u. D.
 LONDON, Oct. 13.-(By Associated Press. )-At current rates of exchange taxation in Great Britain is almost three times as heavy per capital as in the United States, according to of ficial figures compiled in London. The latest figures drawn up show that in Britain the taxation is s72.44 a head, in the United States $25.70, in France s24.39 and in Italy $11.S1.
 In issuing these comparisons, the British have challenged as com plete misrepresentation of their own official figures the scale which M. Dimnet of France presented to the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass, recently. He was quoted as saving that Prime Minister Baldwin had given figures showing the taxa tion in France was $SS~~a head, in Great Britain S83 and in the United States BPS a head.
 Heretofore figures given by Mir. Baldwin and the British treasury as to taxation a head in various coun tries have always been in the respec- tive currencleS of such countries, 1t is said. The latest are:
 Great Britain Gs23-2D, f15.1s.1.
 United States (1923-2D, s25.7O.
 France (1923). 441.5 francs.
 Italy 1922-23), 275.3 lire.
 The British suppose M. Dimnet may have arrived at the figures he gave by conversion into dollars at par exchange, which they hold to be wholly misleading.

How can a person who is both deaf and blind find enjoyment in the theatre? This question arises after seeing a deaf and blind woman seat ed in a box during the presentation of a play It was at a special per formance for the blind, given by the Selwyns. the arrangements having been made with the Matilda Ziegler Magazine for the Blind The play was "The Fool" and the perform ance took place at the Times Square theatre in New York.
 In that remarkable audience of at- tentive listeners who could hear but could not see, none of them knew of the presence of one woman there who could neither see nor hear. The woman was Miss Katherine McGirr, of 522 West Fifty-third street, New York She is employed by the Zieg- Ter magazine to transcr!be by type writer the letters of the blind that come to the magazine and which are written by the blind on a special machine, similar to typewriter, In the raised characters of New York Point and Revised Braille. which the blind can read by passing the tips of the fingers over them.
 Throughout the performance Miss McGirr revealed marked interest while during the tense, dramatic passages she showed restless eAClte- ment, very much the same as would any ordinary spectator. She was perfectly familiar with the charac- ters as they appeared on the stage, what they were saying and what they were doing, and was conscious of the fact when the actors were moving from one position to another And she also knew when the curtain rose and when it fell without being told. Yet she neither saw nor heard !
 Accompanying Miss McGirr was a member of the staff of the magazine who had told her the story of the play before going in the theater. They sat together in a box, Miss McGirr holding the fingers of the young lady's right han& in the palm of her left hand, which was placed above them.
 As each act was in progress, the young lady. by using the sign Ian cuage of the deaf and dumb alpha rapidly gave the gist of the dia-- bet, described each situation and

logue and what was, taking place in the scene. Through the sensi- tized touch of the blind and deaf woman, she followed the spelling out of the rapid word conversation unerringly. At the comedy scenes she would laugh moderately, for she can speak and talk fluently.
 The impression the play made on Miss McGirr was one of complete understanding, she said, when dis cussing the play and the various characters later, as regular theatre goers often do, expressing her liking for some of the roles and a strong dislike for others.
 few days after this special per- formance, the reporter interviewed intimate idea of how theatrical per formance could be enjoyed by one who did not see or hear.
 Interviewing a defective person de- prived of sight and hearing is a novelty and difficult for the unin- itiated. It had been explained that Miss McGirr could carry on a con- versation with anybody; that all the the other person had to do was to spell out the words in script or Roman letters on the palm of her hand as rapidly t-s the person could write them under these conditions. Both methods were employed and of ten before the writing of a word was finished Miss McGirr would speak 1t. She would repeat each word as 1t was written.
 Not being able to hear and see performance, why should you prefer the theatre, since you would know no more of the play than you would by having it explained to you wheth-

have occasion to return. Without being told who he was and by talk ing hold of his hand Miss McGirr greeted him correctly by name.
 Somebody suggested that Miss Nc Girr could give the names of several tunes she knew by placing her hand on the piano. Onward, Christian Soldiers" was played and Miss Me Girr repeated the words of the hymn in unison with the music. She iden- tified the Wedding March" from Lohengrin, Marching Through Geor- gia,' "Maryland. My Maryland,'' and Nearer My God to Thee" in success sion. What was more astonishing' when the pianist would stop in the middle sof one piece and jump into the tune of another, Miss McGirr would name each correctly.
 When typewriting Miss McGirr uses a few fingers only, as she IS not familiar with the touch system.
 Miss McGirr has been blind and deaf since she was seven years old.
