Washington, June 4.-The Su-
preme Court Monday refused to inter-
fere with the practice Of white COM
munities in agreeing to bar Negroes
from buying their property when It
rendered the decision in the case Of
Corrigan x. Buckley, ct. al.
In acting upon a case where the
owners on fashionable Washington
street had determined among them
selves never to permit q Negro to
occupy, use, lease or purchase any
Of their property, the court. in an
opinion read by Justice Sandford,
declined to pass upon the validity Of
such arrangement on the ground that
the controversy presented no ques-
tion within its Jurisdiction. II dis
missed the case, leaving in force o
decision of the lower courts here
which held such agreements were
constitutional and valid.
Mrs. Curtis Contestant.
The validity of the covenant be-
tween the white property owners was
attacked by Mrs. Helen Curtis who
had agreed to purchase from one Of
the owners before the owner had de-
termined she was Of Negro blood.
Mrs. Curtis contended 1t was in vio-
lation Of the fifth, thirteenth and

Justice Sanford declared the court

"On January 80 my father shot my
mother through he heart and blood
came out of her mouth. He put her
in sack and took her away. The

CHAMBER GOLD
To ME RGER

Merger OF the washington Cham

OF Trade, to fiji the need for q
single, large. influential organiza,
ton in the District, was advocated
by w. b. Moses at a meeting Of
the board of directors OF the cham.
Der in the Homer Building, last
night.
Mr.. Moses declared that Inn
portant District legislation is being
sacrificed yearly because Of the
large number Of local organizati ons
which send diverse or duplicated
recommendation to Capitol Hill,
bewildering and Irritating the legis
lators.
The proposed annalgamation, he
declared, would create strong and
respected body, powerful enough to
present a united front to Congress
for the sake Of the District.
The suggestion, however, met the
same fate as have all propositions
for merger OF the chamber and the
board for the past several years.
The directors did not act upon
the question, after Martin A. Leese,
president Of the chamber, critacized
the idea. holding that numerous
organizations are necessary and de-
sirable.

A telephone receiver held to the
ear by a form that fits into the
lower outer cavity of the ear has
been developed for the use of the
hard of hearing.
The new receiver is exceedingly
small, weighing only six-tenths of
all ounce with the connecting cord
which is but little more conspicuous
than an eye-glass ribbon. This
comfortable device in combination
with a transmitter and batteries
gives sound of sufficient loudness to
break through the wall of silence"
around a person whose hearing is
impaired. 1t is made possible
through use of the newly discovered
magnetic alloy "permalloy."
The outfit, of which the receiver
is part, is technically known as an
audiphone. 1t was developed for
the Western Electric Company in
the Bell Telephone laboratories as
a by-product of fundamental rel
searches into the field of sound
which are constantly being made. 1t

a stack of half dozen fifty cent

GREATER INTEREST SHOWN IN NATIONAL
MOVEMENT FOR PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS

Six thousand men and women be-
came actively interested in the move
ment for the prevention of blindness
and conservation of vision within the
last year, it is announced by the Ma
tional Committee for the Prevention
of Blindness in its eleventh annual re-
port. The membership of the COM
mittee was increased from 10000 to
more than 10000 men and women dur
ing the last year, according to Lewis
H. Carris. managing director.
"The committee has learned" lie
clared Mr.. Carris, "that it is not only
possible to prevent actual blindness,
but to prevent the development of
eye defects which, though they do not
render individuals blind, reduce their
social and economic efficiency"
The committee conducted during
the year what is believed to be Amer
ica's first preschool eye clinic. the re-
port of which reveals that so per cent
of the children attending this clinic,
all under seven years of age, had
some eye ailment.
1T should not be assumed from this
experience, however, that so per cent
of all preschool children have eye
ailments" Mr.. Carris said. "The
committees survey of the condition
of the eyes of 100000 school children
shows that approximately IL per cent
one out of every eighth child-have
such seriously defective vision as to
be handicapped in their school work;
there is at present no reason to be-
lieve that defective vision is any
more extensive among children not
yet old enough to 90 to school"
Striking evidence of the success of
the movement for the prevention of
blindness is disclosed in the fact that
registration of schools for the blind
during the last year shows that only
11.5 per cent of the pupils had been
blinded by ophthalmia neonatorum,
commonly known as babies sore eyes,
whereas when the committee was
first organized IL years ago, % per
cent of the children in the schools for
the blind had lost their sight through
this one cause. The rate of blindness
from this cause during the last year
is lowest on record.
The committee reports the addition
of 20 sightseeing classes for public
school children with such seriously de-
fective vision that they would several
years ago have been classed as blind.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-10-15

while there are now a total of 234
sightseeing classes in the United
States" the managing director of the
National Committee said, there
should be at least $1,000" The report
announced the establishment of
courses for the training of teachers
for sightseeing classes at the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati, at Peabody College,
Nashville, Tennessee, at the State
Normal School, Ypsilanti, Michigan,
and at New York University.
The committee has distributed dur
ing the last year without charge close
to half million book marks, book
plates, bulletins, folders and posters,
all dealing with the prevention of
blindness and the general conserva-
ton of vision. Through radio talks,
other lectures, and through the use of

came once. Gee, Miss Mary, it's a
great game"
She contemplated. when does Mr..
Potter pitch again?"
Warmth pulsed through the boy,
and he had difficulty to suppress a
happy chuckle. DAY after tomorrow,
think" he stated
When the day came Gene wan
dered before the grandstand, his eyes
guardedly but diligently searching.
Finally they lighted up, and he
abruptly ceased his wandering, and
went about the serious job of mas
coting.
Mccarthy had practically decided
to start some other hurled than Jim,
but the staff was oyerworked. and
Jim got the call. Gene watched him
as he toiled, and from his point of
vantage kept an eye on the girl who
had no desire to be fan. Jim was
not working smoothly; was depressed
and almost Indifferent. But the Sox
pounded in six runs in the second,
and the game progressed.
1t happened in the eighth. A base
on balls, an intended sacrifice con-
verified into hit, and Jim began look
,, ing toward the bench. Gene, faith
full always, gave Mccarthy black
stare that would have knocked him
from his seat had he seen it. He
mustn't pull Jim today!
The distracted hurler saw the sig
nal to continue and laboriously
turned to his duty. The batter
walked.
The fans were yelling: Take him
out!" a cry not withheld SO much of
late when Jim showed signs of weak
ening.
"Shutup!" growled the mascot. He
glued his gaze upon the diamond.
Then he was suddenly transformed,
and Mortified! The batter had lined
| a terrific drive into Jim's bare hand,
but the thing that riled the boy was
what his eyes told. Jim, his idol,
had grooved the pitch! He was
and just when Mary was here to see!
That she couldn't know did not ease
his hurt; his idol was coward.
| The next instant he darted close to
the baseline, and cupping his hands,
called to him friend: "You let him
hit it! You are yellow!"
On the hill Jim Potter was in tor
ment. Gene had gone back on him!
He had but on friend, and he had
seen through him at last. He sensed
the heat soaring his cheeks. Shame.
Self-pity. Why, if Gene no longer
loved and respected him, there was
nothing to hold him here. Nothing
| but this one game to finish. Passion
surged up where fear usually pre-
vailed; he felt great sweep of it.
His last game-it didn't matter If he
| ulu lOSe-ue u give Gil dll Iue uOOhs
in his repertory, If batters got passes
until night
His head flung up defiantly, his
pitching hand smarting fearfully from
contact with the liner, he prepared
to pitch. The batter saw the ball
coming through the heart TO the plate
and swung wickedly.
"Strike one!" drop had cut six
inches under the mace.
"Wow!" shrilled Blake on first
Blake was experienced, and he knew
that delivery was real. He looked
at the grin on the catcher's face as
he returned the sphere, and Blake
shouted wildly: "All right, old man
twist one around his neck!"
Jim didn't hear. His emotions haC
deadened him to his surroundings
