PREVALENCE In u. S.
! OF BLINDNESS ALARMS

New York-(A. P.)-The need for
more modern legislation dealing with
the prevention of blindness and the
conservation of vision, and for a
greater number of state and local or
ganizations devoted to these causes,
is emphasized in the annual report of
Lewis H. Carris, field secretary of the
National Committee for the Preven-
tion of Blindness, made public today
at the headquarters of the committee
in this city.
Mr.. Carris' findings are based on a
survey of the blindness situation in
the eastern half of the United States
conducted during the past year.
Special attention was given to condi-
tions in Indiana, Illinois, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Ala
bama, and New York, in which states
the National Committee co-Qperated
with local agencies in conducting
educational campaigns.
"The most effective work for the
prevention of blindness and for the
conservation of vision.' Mr.. Carris'
report says, 'scan be accomplished
through the aggressive work of state
and local organizations. There should
be a volunteer organization for the
prevention of blindness in every state
and territory, and such organizations
should be closely affiliated with the
National Committee A survey of the
field shows that California, Kentucky,
Illinois, and New York are at pre-
sent the only states having volunteer
for the prevention of
though number of orner
states have associations for the blind
doing some preventive work"
Declaring 1t is apparent that
very considerable part of the activi-
ties for the prevention of blindness
must ultimately become government
tai, and in consequence there must be
basic state legislation providing for
such action" the report of the Nation
al Committee calls attention to the
need for the following types of laws
In the field of indirect preventive
school medical inspection
laws, laws providing for the establish
nent of conservation of vision classes,
factory laws providing for the safe
of vision, laws governing
he sale of wood alcohol and laws |
governing the practice of midwives.
In the field of direct preventive
egisIation, laws for the prevention of
)abies' eye disease, commonly called /
ophthalmia moratorium; laws pro-
yiding for the control and elimina-
ion of trachoma and other contagi- |

.tions for work in the field of pre-

without the realms of politics.
Donald Callahan, senator from
Shoshone county, loomed UP in one
group lanked on either side by E.
V. Boughton, senator from Kootenai
county; Richard W. Katerndahl, re-

LIND-MOSCOW line
near COMPLETION
NEW w. w. P. LINE WILL AFFORD
MOSCOW TWO SUPPLY SOURCES
ELIMINATE INTERRUPTIONS.

Interruptions of MoScOw'S light and
power service will be eliminated with
the completion of about mile and
a half of the MoscowLind high power
line, which is now under construction,
and is completed through to Pullman,
with the exception of the short dis
tance on the other side of Colfax,
which is held up because of the re-
fusal of owners of the land through
which the line must pass to grant a
right t-of-way. The matter has been
taken into court and the hearing will
be held January s, at Colfax.
The line from Lind to Moscow is
an additional high power line, built
to serve the section through which it
passes, but at the same time will give
Moscow and other Palouse country
towns the benefit of two sources of
supply.
The new line, according to G. r..
Beckman, district manager, stationed
at this place, has been completed be-
tween Colfax and Pullman, and will
be built to Moscow within the next
go or 80 days. Moscow, however,
will have the advantage of the two
sources of supply as soon as the
line is completed to Colfax In case
of break in the old line above Pa
louise Junction, it will be possible to
feed from Colfax up to Palouse juno
ton, thus supplying the communities
on this side of Palouse Junction.
The new line carries a 10000 volt
age and will only be used to supply
Moscow and other towns on the old
line in case of breaks in the line,
which have been. somewhat frequent
during the winZ months of late. In
case of break on the new line, it
will be possible, in turn, to feed from
the old line, thus assuring an unin-
terrupted service on both lines.
The Lind line will be supplied from
the Long Lake plant, the Washington
Water Power company having recently
taken over the 110,0O0-voit line OF
about one hundred miles, down
through central Washington from
Long Lake to Lind.

MOORE WILL RETAIN
some DAVIS OFFICIALS

The temporary retention by G. G.
Moore, Idaho's new governor, OF
several of the heads Of departments
under the Davis administration, was
officially announced in a statement
issued Tuesday by the new chief exc
cutive says the Idaho Statesman.
1t has been predicted by many
officials who are in close touch with
the situation that this would be the
governors action, but not until Tues
day did Governor Moore commit him
self and make the announcement. He
did not, however, announce which
officials of the Davis regime had
pointments.
The governor did say that some Of
the department heads had been in
formed by letter, while it was also
learned Tuesday that some have been
given their appointments verbally.
Governor Moores statement regard
ing his action in temporarily naming
some of the Davis appointive officials
follows:
Appointments Indefinite.
The matter of appointments is
still undecided until I have the OPP
portunity of giving it further con-
sideration In some instances it has
been necessary for the continuation
of the states business without inter-
ruption to make temporary appoint
ments of cabinet heads. I am not
prepared at this time to state just
which of these will be retained tenn
porarily, or for how long time.
The business of the state must be
carried on without interruption to the
people, and for that reason some tenn
porary combinations in office have
been made. l expect to get to the
question of permanent appointments
as soon as possible. Many of these
will Of course, be dependent upon
whatever changes the legislature may
detide to make

SERMON At CHRISTIAN
TABERNACLE


The Rev. Newberry who has been
holding meetings for the past week
at the Christian church gave his
concluding sermon Sunday evening
and departed for his home in Mis-
souri,
He spoke from the text "How
sl.all we escape if we neglect SO
great salvation" The author of the
Epistle of the Hebrews warns his
readers not to return to Judaism
since Jesus is superior to the pro
phets, Moses or even the Angles.
Jesus holds an unchanging ever
lasting priesthood. The new cove
nant. written on tie hearts of the
people is superior to the old cove
nent. If his readers return to the
Mosaic Law after once tasting of
the good things of life" they put
Christ to an open shame and cru
city the Son of God afresh.
The speaker empasized The Great
Salvation" 1t is great since God
forgivess sin and holds us blameless.
1T is extended to all the world,
."whosoeyer will"
We must not neglect this salvation
Neglect is degeneration. As plants
return to their wild and useless
state when neglected. as Drum
mond points out in his Natural
Law in the Spiritual World" so al
so the mind and soul is atrophied
and shrivelled by neglect. We must
develope the soul for Heaven while
we are on en-th Or we shall not be
prepared to enter heaven at death
Neglect is loss. The farmer who
neglects his fields, the business
man who neglects to advertise his
wares, the church worker who neg
lects his spirited duties were illus
trations given by the preacher.
God will not overlook sin. He
punished rebellious Israel and kept
them out of the promised land.
Moses was likewise punished for his
presumption. So now If we neglect
Christ and his salvation there is no
escape for us. 1t means our eter-
nal loss and condemnation.

WHO'S TO sIAMra

The editor while in Denver re-
Gently, called at the State Histori
cal building to look over back files
of the Chieftain. This office il not
in possession of the files for the
first ten years of the Chieftains ex-
istance. He was delighted to know
that these ten years Of issue were
preserved at the Historical building
But what was his chagrin to be
told that, while the Historical
Building had these files indexed as
in their possession, yet they were
not accessible to the public. The
Librarian told us that these files
with hundreds of Others were piled
in the basement of the building
since there was no shelf room avail
able. They had asked again and
again for an appropriation to pro-
vide more shelf room but had been
turned down. At one time. all these
files, now stored away. had been
catalogued and indexed> only to
discover that there was no room in
the archives of the building for
them. Space that could be used
was filled with old machinery. Our
informant strongly hinted that poll
ties had much to do with the in
adequante room provided for news

ments of public interest 1t is a
shame that valuable matter stored
at the state museum is not acces.
ible to the public for lack of few
hundred dollars to provide shelf
room when thousands of dollars are
spent where the public would bene-
fit much less. OF what value Is it
to us and hundreds of other edi-
tors to know that the files of his
paper are preserved If they can new
er be examined. We desired to refer
to this old file for editorial men
tion but must now forego that pri-
velege and right, till somebody at
the State Capital wakes up and sets
things in order at the State Hist
orical Building.
