City Cleaning Outlet
 Of Storm Water Sewers

A force of men has been sent 10 take up the task of cleaning debris from the outlet of the storm water sewerage system on the Nibberts tract on Stanley street, and when their work is completed. the system will be piped several hundred feet to the north. bringing the outlet beyond the dumping grounds.
 Mayor Paonessa and City Engineer P. A. Merian have found that the system is now operating less than 50 per cent due to the fact that the dumped materials at the vibberts tract have backed into the main. It is the opinion of the two officials that the cleaning up which was be- gun today will save the expense of an extensive auxiliary system which has been under consideration.

Winchester, Mass, April 2t.-Ra- dio comes to the aid of the blind in q new device he "Nisagraph." per- fected here by Robert F. Naumburg, a Massachusetts Institute of Tech noiogy graduate.
 The "Nisagraph" makes it possible for blind persons to read ordinary books. Therefore they have had 10 dc pend on the BraillC system of raised letters.
 The photo electric cell. which makes tclerlsion and several other electrical marNcis possible, is part of the equipment for Naumburg' $ device.
 The reader uses a "feoler,' somc- what like pencil, 10 cover the print cd page. An electric signal tells the reader whether he is on black or white. \ guide consisting of several grooves denotes the top, middle, or bottom of the black letters
 The pho,o-clectrlc cell is mounted on pantarraph, which in effect magnfias the size Of letters four times.
 Signals from the device, and the readers knowledge of the feel er's' position with respect to the printed lines. enable him 10 recon struct mentally the letters, words, or sentences he is tracing.
 Toivo Laminan. blind student at Tufts College. Mcdford Mass, worked with Naumburg on the in Nention. Laminan readily mastered the reading method.
 The Boston Committee for the Blind also co-operated with Naum- burg. and officials Of the committee believe the device in every way practical. With the "Nisagraph" ar ranged to transmit its signals to the fingers through buzzcr vibrations rather than carphoncs or loud speaker, it could be used hy persons both bllnl and deaf.

 Chairman Bannan and the other commissioners discussed in an in- formal manner the work before them, the keynote of their remarks being the desirability of fairness and courtesy on the part of the mem- hers of the department in their deal- ings with the public. Violators of the traffic and parking laws should not be abused by officers. but should be treated in gentlemanly manner, Chairman Bannan said.
 There are times when a police man must be rough, and that is up to himself" he said. Some police men, of course. are unpopular. but oellVe mat as rule the old feel ing of animosity towards policemen has died out" The use of profanity when reprimanding violators of the laws was classified as an evidence of inability 10 control ones temper, an undesirable quality in a policeman, in the opinion of the chairman.

Title to Donors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, November 21.--The At
lanta Chapter, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, yesterday unanimously
adopted the recommendation of Us
executive committee that the revision
ary interest in that portion of Stone
Mountain on which the Stone Noun
tain Memorial is being carved be re-
turned to the donors, Sam H. Venable
and associates.
The revisionary interest was recently
decided to the Atlanta Chapter by Mr..
Venable, Mrs. Walter Gordon Rope and
Mrs. C. v. Orme, joint owners of Stone
Mountain, on the grounds that the
Stone Mountain Monumental ASSocia-
ton in which the title was vested had
failed to carry out certain Stipulations
of contract when the property was
decided to it.
It was claimed that the association
had not completed the central group
of the monument within the time
specified and that the title had re-
verted to the Venables.
The recommendation as adopted de-
clares that the Atlanta Chapter ode
sireS to surrender its full claim to the
property through the revisionary deed
and that the chapter will disclaim any
title to the property.
The board of trustees of the chapter,
composed of go prominent women, was
authorized to return the property to
the grantors.
On october 80 the chapter author
lied the trustees to bring proceedings
with the Venables to recover title to
the property. Members of the chapter
said yesterdays action would rescind
its previous decision to bring suit for
recovery of the title.
Mr.. Venable last night declined to
comment on the action of the chapter.
