national headquarters. The total
membership which the auxiliary plans
to reach during 1929 is approximately
$1,000 larger than the present mem
bership. This rate of gain has been
maintained by the auxiliary for the
past several years.
Every department of the auxiliary has
been called on to contribute to the ma
tional membership increase with gains
varying from to Is per cent of the
present department membership. The
department quotas have been based
on the ratio between the auxiliary MEM
bership and the Legion membership
in the different departments, the
departments In which the auxiliary
membership equals large percentage
of the Legion membership having been
called on to make a smaller percentage
of increase than those in which there
is a wider difference between the aux
iliary and the Legion enrolment.

the impression that they were changed.
These same rates were recommended for
the reason. as reviousIy stated, that they
cover the actual labor charges. A few
months ago a bill was introduced by the
Honorable lst Member for Christiansted
Town authorizing The Municipal Commit
tee to fix the fees, that bill passed the
Council but did not meet with the approx
al Of the Governor because he old not
thj0k the Municipal Committee was the
proper source from which the fees for
removal service should come INTO being.
If remember correctly the Honorable
Member in one Of his remarks or The bill
stated that the Council is the proper body
to fix the rates. Ii the Council want to
fix the rate at one, five or ten cents The
Governor might approve. 50 there is no

All Next Week-The Vitaphone, the
voice Of the screen and the most i'm
portant development in talking pic
lures in a generation will be intro
duced to Delaware audiences for the
first time with its debut as a perman-
ent attraction at the Arcadia Theatre,
Wilmington. Al Jolson's picture "The
Jazz Singer, one Of the most success
ful made with the Vitaphone and in
itself drama Of engrossing realism
will be the screen attraction. Thous-
ands Of dollars were spent BY the
Stanley Company of America to sup
ply the delicate recording and ampli-
flying apparatus necessary for Vita
phone and in its placement the exhibi-
tors have added a real theatrical at
traction. AL Jolson has in '"The Jazz
Singer" his first photoplay and a tri-
umph that brings not only the com
edian but his scrooning voice to the
screen. The Vitaphone will reproduce
his famous Nanny Songs and others
in the course Of the performance an
added feature is the presence of JOS
eph Rosenblatt, the famous cantor,
who has also recorded for the Vita
phone in this picture.

story, "Freckles." AS publishers com
pute that at least five persons read

count those in Libraries and large fam

"Freckles." Dealing with the adven-
lures Of one-armed orphan boy set

bert, famous screen star, who, like a
modern Diogenes of the cinema, is al
ways on the lookout for an honest
role to play. The honesty of its
character is one of the principal rea-
sons for his joy in Count Vronsky, his
new role in "Love." 'The honest
character always makes the biggest
success on either screen or stage"
says Gilbert. "By this | don't mean
a character that won't lie or steal
the honesty refer to is that honesty
which makes the character echo hu-
man nature with fidelity. Attempts
to make character a sort of super
man, for instance, fail in this dram
attic honesty-and supermen are there
fore not convincing on the screen.
Hence they fail to enlist sympathy.
When character is so human that
each member in the audience recog-
nizes this humanity, then and then
only j. born sympathy for the char
acter."

Instruction of Blind
Makes Good PROGRESS

DR.. E. Park Lewis cites an amaz-
ing exhibition in the New York Insti
tuition for the Blind. Blind children
of twelve or thirteen years were
given Il number of three figures al
random and were directed to multiply
this by another number of three fig.
ures such Us ~ and 62S. They did
problems like this aloud and in con.
cert without their raised point states
as accurately and as rapidly as one OF
the sighted observers could have done
1t with pencil aud paper.
The blind must as far as possible
dc all the things they have been do
ing. Writing is more easily accom-
nlished than one would imagine.
Doctor Lewis describes a practical
method.
A rubber band is passed around a
pad where the writing should begin.
Two other light bands are passed
vertically around the pad at about
half an inch from each edge Of the
paper As each line is completed the
horizontal band is slipped down an
inch BY keeping the finger on the
band an even and legible writing can
be produced with title practice
