Languages for the Blind.

One Of the earliest systems whereby
the blind might read originated in Peru,
where the alphabet was formed by knots
on length Of string. In the sixteenth
century francesca Lucas. Spaniard,
engraved characters on wood for the
blind. and in 1910 an arrangement Of
movable metal type was used In France.
This plan failed through lack Of funds,
and the blind had to revert to the
wooden letters and pins stuck In cush-
ions. Other devices for the blind were
DR.. Pinseauxs frame with small han
die into which metal letters could be
inserted, and German scheme with
letters cut in cardboard. Then Valentin
Hauy realized the possibilities Of en-
bossed paper. It was at his school that
Louis Braille was a pupil, and he saw
the superiority of the point system over
the many others, including Calls moon
type, that were causing confusion. His
method is now worldwide. The Koran
has been transcribed into Braille, and
the system adapted to Chinese and
Arabic.

Bill Will REGULATE
SMALL LOANS IN D. c.
INTEREST RATE
ZPER CENT
A MONTH

The so-called Gilbert bill, ito
regulate small loans in the Dis
trit Of Columbia" reputedly in
the interest Of the small bor-
rover" in temporary need Of $500
or less, is to be espoused during
this Congress by Representative
Frank l.. Bowman, West Virginia,
. member Of the House District
Committee.
Reintroducing the Gilbert bill,
Bowman became its champion.
Gilbert being no longer a mem
Der. Of the House. 1t received
favorable report from committee
last session. but faxed of action.
Senator Capper, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, will
advocate a bill along the same
lines in the upper chamber.
Interest Rate Fixed
Representative Bowman said
the bill was not designed to bring
about the return of paWnshops in
the District. However, he ex-
planned, the small borrower today
finds it difficult to raise quick
funds in times Of stress. The
measure would allow a maximum
interest rate Of 3la per cent pei.
month, but forbids extras, such
as fees, commissions and duph-
cation Of charges. All small loan
firms would be licensed and post
. bond for the proper carrying on
Of their business.
Representative Bowman cited
the previous committee report
which said that the measure '.ic
designed for the benefit of a
large class Of respectable borrow
erS who have not sufficient bank
ing prestige to obtain loans st
the regular banking institutions.
tt is not primarily intended for
those who make q practice
borrowing from pawn shops: IT
is intended for the respectable
wage Garner who finds himself
in necessity for a short while by
reason of unexpected causes, not
provided in his family budget.
Such borrower wants only a
small amount for a short time.
Sage Foundation Plan
Explaining that banks find it
expensive to carry such small
loans at only per cent, the old
report says that the result Of
the situation is that this great
class is left without credit facili,
ties and becomes prey to the
so-called loan shark, who,
through fees, excessive interest,
and duplication Of charges EFFORTS
without conscience
Similar legislation, it Is said,
has been working satisfactorily in
16 States and the plan was de-
vised by the Russell Sage Foln-
datiofl some time ago. The Bow
man bin was referred to the Dis
tTict Committee, which will hold
its first meeting Of this session
tomorrow.
