BLIND, BUT ACTS
 AS GUIDE DAILY
Lansing Man Escorts Visitors
 Through Capitol

Lansing. July 27 (UP)-Through the sight" of a blind man 400 peo-
 rle, from all parts of the world, daily see the Michigan State Capitol and capital city.
 l E. J. Thomas. who was blinded in
 munitions explosion during the World War; guides visitors through the Capitol dome. With unerring ac- curacy he points out items of inter- est, relates the history of the build- ing, the city and the state, and an- swers both by word and gesture every question put to him.
 "Over there," says the blind guide, pointing east directly down Michigan avenue, "where the two smokestacks loom in the distance, is Michigan State College. To your right you see big white structure [ with no windows in this side. That is the Masonic Temple" His fin- ger always points straight at the object mentioned.
 Here to your left you see stone , building with large clock on it. Look carefully and you will see that the hands indicate it is now
 o:45.' While the listeners marvel at tho accuracy of the time calcu- lation an observing person may see that the hand of the guide is on his watch, which is so constructed that he can feel the time.
 Likes His Job
 Thomas gets tremendous kick" out of his job. He chuckIed mer-
 rily while relating his experience earlier in the day with stout mat ron. You should go up that mar
 row stairway just in front of you,' Thomas told the woman. Tt is 9 wonderful reducing exercise She
 promptly handed him half dollar
 with the request that he explain how he knew she needed reducing.
 You wouldn't notice, perhaps, that a fleshy person breathes quite differently from other people," he
 replied You don't need to notice
 it, because you can determine that fact with your eyes. Well, I am just as interested in those things as you are, but I have to find these things out in different ways" A pointing finger accompanies word of mouth as the guide answers the many questions put to him by visitors as to the identity of various buildings and fields.
 What is that group of buildings with the white roofs over there?" (The reporter indicates with a point of his finger which of course the guide cannot see.)
 That" he replies without hesi- tation, "is the industrial school. They used to call it the reform school, then new governor changed 1t to the industrial school, and now, under our present gover- nor, it ts the Boys Vocational School" ,.s

the Boys club are entirely free from any sort of markings. while waste paper and other articles are always consigned to their proper containers instead of tossed into shelteed cor ners. Let any boy transgress, and immediately a dozen will inform him of the error of his ways and either make him see the light or. if persuasion fails. report him to the club officials.
 The boys also do most of the work around the building, and have been taking a large part in the summer cleaning which is now being brought to completion. They have washed the windows, the walls. the tiles in the shower room and lavatories, and the pictures on the walls, oiled the floors. and done the repaintinS of the lower parts of the sym walls.

 A letter of commendation from Probation Officer Edward C. Con- molly was printed in the last issue of the magazine issued by the Ma tional Federation of Boys Clubs. This letter is as follows: 
 Prevention Is better than cure.'
 Tt has been found that. over s5 per cent of all criminals begin to so wrong as juvenile delinquents They are most frequently the pro- duct of home neglect, bad compan- ionship or poor neighborhoods. In other words, the lack of construc- tive influence is the biggest factor in making criminals. The Boys club of New Britain. under its present able management. supplies such a constructive influence and gives the growing youth most in need of such training the correct environment. recreation and work to prepare him for futue citizenship. feel the club is entitled to the heaty good will and support of the citizens of New Britain.

The next president of the United States will be an underprivileged boy such as the New Britain Boys club is helping, Superintendent Dwight Skinner of the local organization points out, Both Herbert Hoover and Alfred F..

 Despite the cramped quarters of the New Britain club the boys have a large number of benefits. There are games and puzzles with which the younger boys can while away idle moments, library with hun dreds of boys books, a gymnasium with organized competition in about dozen different branches of sport in addition to the regular physical training work. a pool room. and classes in several fields of vocational work
 The greatest success of the New Britain club, however, lies in the spirit instilled in the boys rather than in it's physical equipment. Play CTS on the basketball teams and the rooters which follow them about on their numerous road trips have had opportunities to inspect other boys clubs, but, while they frequently see clubs with larger buildings and more equipment. they have never yet found another club with the ex- cellent spirit. harmony, really sym pathetic and helpful attitude on the part of the leaders which they en- joy in the New Britain institution.

DUCHESS T0RLONIA WINS HER DIVORCE
Supreme Court Finds No Error
 in Judgment

Hartford, July 2S R>-The Duch- tss Torlonia. formerly Elsie Moore of Greenwich, has won her fight to divorce Duke Mario Torlonia ot Rome. the supreme court finding no error in judgment of the superior court ruling granting her the de- cree.
 The decision also established the precedent In this state that a wife separated from her husband for cause may establish a domicile for the purpose of divorce, even though the husband be domiciled in another state or country.
 Beginning in 1925. 21 years after she married the duke at ar interna- tional affair in Greenwich. the duch- css fled with her three children from Rome to this country on a visitors passport claiming her husband had been unfaithful.
 She returned to Italy alone several months later and signed separa- tion agreement which provided for the dukes future and also that she return to Italy the following Janu- ary with her children. Instead she came back to Greenwich and had her citizenship restored by the |. S district court of New Haven under circumstances questioned by the dukes counsel, Philo C. Calhoun o1 Bridgeport.
 Calhoun raised the point that the duchess had no ground for divorce in Connecticut because under the Italian law adultery is not recogniz. ed as a criminal or social offense unless the husband keeps or main. tainx | woman in his own household or lives in a notorious manner with her elsewhere.
 Finding that the evidence ampl, supported the charge of adultery tho supreme court said that it va, a well established rule that the court of the state of the domicile oI the petitioner may grant a divorce for any cause allowed by its law. without regard to the place where the oftense was committed or wheth, CT such offense constituted ground. for divorce in the state or countr! in which 1t was committed. l Under the evidence submitted th' supreme court concluded that whel the duchess left the duke in June 1925 to return to this country, sh did 70 with the intention of resum ing her residence here. which sh had abandoned in 1907 after he marriage to the middle-aged duke.
 The decision yesterday at the sam time advanced the rights in Con necticut that A woman separate, from her husband for cause, ma establish . domicile in this state fo the purpose of divorce even thoug the husband be domiciled in anothe state or country.
 The principle that the wife ma facquire a separate domicile unde the circumstances of the case of tn
 duchess is especially logical and ar
 propriate in state where "the la has long recognized the wife as hay

mise that tralneQ nurse QoeS not, like Topsy just grow but that her professional development and poise is the result of closely supervised study and practice.
 You may ask. have trained nurses always had all this theoreti- cal instruction and is it necessary?' No! They did not. It was not until 1860 that the first training school was started in London, and not until 13 years later were they first start ed in this country. Then the prac- tice of medicine itself was not ad- of that time were not called upon to carry out the many technical procedures required of her by the medical profession as We know it. For many years a nurses training consisted largely of the experience shc gained by waiting upon patients and doing considerable homework in the hospital. But as the practice of medicine advanced, training schools found it necessary to enlarge their curriculum to enable the nurse to cope with the orders of the mod ern physician and surgeon. The training of a nurse today Is com- parable to that which one receives in any other branch Of higher edu- cation.
 Life or Duty
 Thus far we have followed the nurse while she is on duty and have seen nothing of her life while off duty. Practically all training schools are devotng a good deal of time to the recreation and social entertain ment of their students. Even the small. well organized training school has pleasant living and social quar- ters and many have housemothers 1 to look after the welfare of the girls while basketball, tennis, dances, music. glee club and many little parties the girls are constantly get ting up among themselves. form a constant source of wholesome enter tainment while off duty.
 l But what is the effect of training on the health of the student nurse First of all, the health of the girl is pretty we'll known by observation and physical examination before she is admitted into the school second, during her training she is in an en- vironment that offers prompt atten- ton to any acute physical abnor- mality. But most important of all she is under rather rigid discipline regarding her hours of rising and retiring, attendance at meals and hours of duty, and this regularity of living at the early adult age brings about just what one might expect good health. Many schools make it a practice to keep record of the stu dents weight each month. Seldom it is that girl fails to show a marked gain during the first year and normal increase each succeed ing year of her student life.
 Indeed, it is this discipline that 1 develop in her the quiet manner courtesy. honor and judgment we find in well trained nurse.
 "The fields of nursing today arc many and all are calling for more and more graduates to fill the places. They are school nursing visiting nursing, industrial nursing 1 Red Cross positions, anesthetizing hospital floor and operating room supervising. At no time in the his- tory of nursing has there been such a variety of pecializations for g I graduate nurse to choose from.
 Tn addition to fitting her with q splendid vocation for life, nurses training develops self-reliance and character, and fits the young woman to be a better home-maker."
