PREPARING FOR BLIND
NESS

RASIL KING. the well-known novel
- list, is slowly going blind. Com
plete darkness will soon settle down
on him, yet he Is cheerfue and smiI-
ing Even without sight" he says,
life Is filled with splendid colnpensa-
lions" "a
Gould you say as much, IL you knew
you would soon be blind? What would
you do, II you had only six months
more In which to see? Would you lose
hope and pass the time raving ut your
cruel fate, or would you spend the re-
mining days of sight in preparing
yourself to do without vision?
Our eyes are our most important
sense organs. Through them we learn
more about the world around us than
by any other means. Yet they are
not indispensable to either useful or
a happy life.
When one OF our senses goes, the
others can be trained to take their
place. This is especially true Of those
who become blind In adult life. II they
use the last days Of vision to educate
themselves to get along without 1t.
The first thing to do, for those who
are losing their sight, is to make up
their minds to train their bodies to
get along without eyes. If they allow
themselves to become dependent on
others, they will probably remain de-
pendent the rest Of their lives.
The blind person must learn TO go

on Il concrete walk or on an open
road. He must learn TO tell whether
he is in narrow hallway or large
room, whether he is walking on a
level or surface sloping up or down.
He must learn to see with his fingers,
He must become acquainted by touch
with the furniture. the ordinary house
hold implements, his clothes and other
belongings which he has heretofore
recognized by sight He must learn
an orderly arrangement of all his be-
longings so that when he lays an ar
ticle down he will know where to find
it again. He must learn to keep his
person and his clothes neat and clean.
If possible he should stick to his old
occupation. If not. he must learn
some new kind of work which he can
do without his eyes. But some kind
of work he must have. Blindness is
bad enough, but blindness and idleness
is unbearable
Most states have special schools for
the blind, where they are taught suit

Indiscriminate or Unwise
Loans Barred However,
Say Officials.

DALLAS, Aug. 22.-The eleventh
district federal reserve bank is ready
TO lend as much money to its member
banks in the drouth area as will be
considered necessary by these banks to
tide over the farmers and other bank
clients, and to assure n continuation
of business activities along sound and
conservative lines.
This statement was issued Saturday

has been called for 10 O'Clock Tues

, far a. he knew no set program had
been arranged. The gathering was
called by W. NJ. Massie, of Fort
Worth, who is chairman of the public
relations committee, and has the
sanction of Francis WEIGH of Taylor,
president of the Bankers Association.
BANKS NOT ALARMED.
William A. Philpott, jr., secretary
Of the Texas Bankers association,
which has headquarters in Dallas,
has repeatedly made plain that the
banks of the state are not alarmed
-iover conditions in south and central
Texas, il is pointed out, and the
! meeting is primarily to devise the best
means of carrying over obligations OF
bank patrons, to obviate a sudden
shortage among farmers and mer-
chants.
Besides the seven members of the
public relations committee of the as
sociation and the state officers, Mr..
Philpott said he did not look for
more than five or six additional bank
ers and financial experts 70 Tuesdays
meeting. Lynn p. Tally, governor
and Colonel c. G. Walsh, agent Of the
Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, have
been invited TO attend the gathering,
but their presence will be to outline
the policy of the Federal bank in dis
position of loans to member banks.
NO FLOOD OF LOANS.
The Federal Reserve system is
amply able 20 care for just such con-
ditions and in the past always has
don. So" Mr.. Tally declared. Il do
not care to arouse unfavorable com
ment. but would like TO add that
we are not going 10 make indiscrimi-
nate OF unwise loans
Conditions do not warrant pour
