SCOOPS COLUMN
By SCOOP-HIMSELF

This column is liable to be short
again this week, and through no
fault of Scoops. If he keeps on Civ
ing excuses people will think he is
getting lazy, but here is the real
dope. The boss editor says this stuff
isn't as valuable as some red hot
political articles, and when there isn't
much space, it has to be cut down.
Scoop has tried to convince him
that this is the best part of the paper
and that any number of people have
told him so, but it just won't sink in.
He never did believe in true story
magazines and Scoop supposes that
is one reason for his gross mistake
Now don't believe this, because he
often adds a lot of his own comment
here that Scoop gets credit for.)

EYESIGHT OF CHILDREN
SHOULD BE SAFEGUARDED
Much Interest Aroused in Class
es for Sight Saving in Baltimore

Through the stirring appeal made
by Miss Helen Keller, at the recent
annual meeting of the Maryland So
ciety for the Prevention of Blindness,
in Baltimore City, for the protection
and safeguarding of the eyesight OF
young children, much interest has
been aroused in the sightseeing
classes that have been established
for children with defective eyesight.
Nobody could hear Miss Keller,
DR.. R. II. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health said, without
wanting to help in every way possible
to prevent the tragedy of blindness.
Blind, deaf and dumb, as the result OF
an illness in babyhood, Helen Keller,
by almost superhuman effort has
overcome these handicaps. She sees
and hears through the tips of her
sensitive fingers She has learned to
articulate and all of her great talents
are devoted to the improvement OF
the conditions of those already blind
and to the prevention of needless
blindness through ignorance or care
Iessness or neglect.
SCHOOLS for the blind have been es
tablished for many years, but the
idea of conserving the sight of all
children with partial or defective Wis
ion by having special classes for them
in connection with the regular cours-
es in the public and parochial schools
is comparatively new. In 1913 there
were only two such classes in the
United States. Ten years later the
number had increased to 181. Now
there are more than 800 classes OF
that sort throughout this country.
"In proportion to the population,
the Maryland Society for the Proven
ton of Blindness estimates that we
should have 30 sight saving classes
in Maryland approximately IA in the
counties and Is in Baltimore City.
So far, only two have been estab-
lished and both of those are in Balti-
more City. Since classes Of this sort
require not only special equipment
but special training on the part OF
the teachers, their growth is neces-
sarily slow But as a result OF the
interest that is being taken by some
of the service organizations, we can
expect more rapid development in the
near future. Within the last year,
through scholarships provided by the
Lions Club, three Maryland teachers
have had special training at Columbia
University for sight saving work.
"The special classes in the schools
are not the only ways by which
children's eyesight may be safeguard
ed. By observing the habits of their
children when handling their books
or toys, parents may often discover
eve conditions that need the attention
of oculists-that is, of physicians who
have had special training in the care
of the eyes. 1t frequently happens
that children who have been regarded
as dull or stupid in their school work
are found to have some trouble with
the eyes. Correction Of the condition
under the advice of a properly quail
fled physician is often followed not
only by improvement Of the child's
general health but by marked prog
ress in his school work"

There Is A Santa

Since last night Scoop and many
more of the townspeople believe there
is Santa Claus. In fact he was in
Oakland last night, little early for
Christmas, but just in time for the
Christmas spirit
After the appearance of Whitley
Kaufman and his orchestra here last
night, Scoop not only believes in San
ia Claus. but is inclined toward mira
cles, faith healing, predestination, and
whatnot. But he did actually appear,
and it was surely some hot music
1t was Whitey's first, and probably
his last appearance in Oakland

A most low-down trick, if there
ever was one, is that of stealing
bulbs from the curb Christmas trees
along Second and Alder streets in
Oakland. One who has so far for
gotten the spirit of Christmas ex-
pressed by these colored lights and
decorated trees, to do such stuff,
would kick a baby in the face, and
then gleefully clap his hands in huge
enjoyment. The one bright light in
this dark spot is the fact that it is
believed that the guilty parties are
not from Oakland, or even from
Maryland, but from West Virginia.
Carl Frame, editor and manager of
Mt. Lake News, Incorporated, and
Beyond the County" gives Scoop a
little dig this week. Now Scoop is
going to put detective Col. Bell on his

him in few weeks worth printing in

Appointment of Consultants
Marks New Departure in Pro-
viding Corps of Specialists.
OTHERS ARE DESIGNATED
FOR IMPORTANT POSTS
Col. Laurence Martin Outlines Steps
at Opening Meeting of National
Geological Society.

Appointment of two research con-
sultants in science at the Library of
Congress was announced at the opening
meeting of the National Geological So
ciety at the Wardman Park Hotel this
morning by Col. Lawrence Martin, head
of the division of maps.
They are Prof. Albert C. Lane of
Tufts College and Prof Albert Perry
Brigham of Colgate University, both
members Of the society.
This represents, Col. Martin said, a
new departure for the National Library
in providing corps of specialists who
will have no administrative duties, but
viii be engaged purely as consultants for
those with research problems.
Others Are Appointed.
He also announced the appointment
of Prof. Charles S. Lane as specialist
in church history, DR.. Victor S. Clark
specialist In economics, Prof. William A.
Hammond specialist in philosophy, Dr.
Mark A. de Wolfe Howe specialist in
English literature and Prof. Henry N.
Fowler In classical literature.
These are provided for in a grant
from the General Education Board. The
appointment of specialists in biblio-
graphy and in Hispanic literature was
announced some time ago by Librarian
Herbert Putnam. A corresponding in
novation, Col. Martin said, was the es-
adjustment at the library of chairs"
with endoWmentS. There are already
four such chairS-in music, American
history, fine arts and aeronautics.
The grant from the General Educa-
ton Board, Col. Martin said, was in
tended to demonstrate the utility of
such consultantS and if the service
proves to be effective, it will require a
permanent provision for a staff of ap-
proximately is.

SIX FROM CARNEGIE
HERE FOR FUNERAL
.OF CAPTAIN OF SHIP
Commander of Non-MagnetiC
Craft Killed When Vessel
Is Blown Up.
FIRST FULL ACCOUNT
OF TRAGEDY is GIVEN
James P. Ault's Body Recovered
From Water After Explosion
Hurls Him in Sea.

Four members of the crew and two
OF the technical staff of the Inflated
survey yacht Carnegie, non-magnetic
vessel of the department of research in
terrestrial magnetism of the Carnegie
Institution here, which blew UP in Apia
Harbor, Western Samoa, on the after
noon of November 20, arrived in the
Capital today to attend the funeral
services for Capt. James P. Ault, who
was killed in the explosion.
The institution issued a statement
this morning stating that "the cause
OF the explosion, which almost entirely
destroyed the Carnegie, has not been
doubtedly partially due to the ignition
OF gasoline vapor during the loading of
gasoline.
Body Rescued.
"The explosion threw Capt Ault. COM
mander of the Carnegie, from the quar-
ter deck into the water, from where he
was rescued by Fritz Lyngdorf, steward;
Elmer Unander, second watch officer,
and F. M. Soule of the scientific staff.
The explosion also killed Anthony Kolar,
cabin boy.
Five members of the crew also were
injured, one of whom has completely
recovered and returned to San Fran
cisco with the other survivors. The
other four injured are still in Samoa,
but are expected to recover.
"Salvaging operations on the Carnegie
are now in progress at Samoa under
the direction of w. G. Parkinson, second
in command of the Carnegie"
Those who returned to Washington
today gave the first complete account
of the wrecking of the Carnegie. They
are: Lyngdorf, the steward; Unanderm,
the second watch officer; Henry Jentoft,
third watch officer; Oscar Backgren,
cook; s. L. Seaton and w. E. Scott of
the scientific staff.
Contained No Metal.
The Carnegie was a ship built entirely
OF wood, put together with wooden
dowells and pegs, and contained no
metal in its general construction. It
was designed especially for the study
OF terrestrial magnetism on the seas.
and was practically impervious to
magnetism itself.
1t sailed on its last journey from
Washington.
All of the survivors Of the Carnegie
who are in Washington will attend the
funeral services for Capt. Ault tomor-
row afternoon at Wesley M. E. Church.
Burial VIII be In Fort Lincoln Cemetery.
Capt. Ault lived in Washington when
not on jauntS for scientific information
for the Carnegie Institution. He had
been with the institution for IS years
and at the time of his death was chief
