ed the progress of the work
of the University of Arizona
in developing an area of
what is known as tight" or

that they had a considerable
area of this type of land
within their district and were
interested in developing it
into satisfactory condition.
After inspecting the pro-
gress of the work on the To-
cal demonstration they
were of the opinion that the
methods being used were
bringing this soil into condi-
ton and would also handle
their problem.

In the control of rabbits,
it is essential that tender
green alfalfa be-used;; and
also that this feed be placed
in or near the rabbit run
ways for several nights so
that they may become &C
customed to eating it. After
this prebaiting has been
done, alkaloid strynine is
busted over fresh alfalfa
and it is placed in the rab-
hit trails as was done before.
Complete directions for the
use of poison are given out
with all poisons. Poison
grain for the control of
mall rodents such as kan
garoO rats and ground squir-
rels is also available for dis
tribution.
Caution should be exercis-
ed in placing the poisoned
alfalfa, keeping it out of the

NEW DEVICE BOON
FOR THE SICHTLESS

A newly perfected device which
converts printed words into large
raised lines on aluminium foil so
that bind persons may read by touch
was demonstrated by the inventor,
Robert i. Naumburg Of Cambridge,
Mass. The new printing visagraph,
as 1t is called, rapidly produces en-
larged, embossed letters on a wide
roll of thin aluminium foil These let
tiers may be felt by the finger Of the
blind person in the same way that
he reads Braille or other embossed
type. The outstanding advantage of
the product of the printing visagraph
over the old embossed types is that
1t will enable the blind to have ac-
cess to books printed in ink. This
will increase their present range Of
reading about 1000 times. The New
York public library contains about
5000 books in Braille and more than
100000 books printed in ink.
The visagraph. Mr. Naumburg ex-
planned, is especially useful to the
blind student at school, college or in
postgraduate work. and to the blind
professional person, whether a de-
tor. lawyer. writer, teacher. or engi-
neer. 1t is very telpful to the stu
dent Of foreign birth, as hardly any
literature is available in foreign lam
guages in embossed type.
Mr.. Naumburg was assisted in the
demonstration by Miss Edith Miner,
a student ut Perkins Institute for the
Blind at WATERFOWL. Mass. After less
than one month of practice on the
visagraph, she was able to read from
a book printed in ink with surpris-
ing fiuency. A month ago she did
not know the shapes of the alpha
bet printed in ink, having always
read Braille, which does not resem-
Bile the printed alphabet.
Adults who lose their sight, Mr..
Naumburg explained. will welcome
the printing visagraph, which enables
them to visualize with their finger
tips the letters whose shapes they
will remember.
The printed letters are magnified
in height and width, so that they
are about the size of Braille char
acters, with which most of the blind

HATS OF ALL SIZES
APPROVED BY PARIS

There is nothing monotonous about
hat fashions this summer. Sizes
range from mere skull caps to cape
lines, with brims foot wide. There
is as much variety in shapes as in
sizes and more materials involved than
there is room to list. Soft. fabriclike
straws. crocheted or mesh straws are
being used for new versions of the
beret, and to make crowns for some
of the brimmed hats. The familiar
panama, baku, milan, leghorn and
other well knowns are making all mar
ner of brimmed hats. Stitching is
used to give body to cotton and linen
hats and to decorate brimmed sports
hats of jersey and felt.
Among the small hats Agnes French
colonial creations and Suzanne Tai
bots derby-brimmed hats are Of par
ticular interest. Agnes has taken the
various headgears and hair dresses of
the Moroccans, the klgerians, the
Cambodians and translated them in a
collection of peaked and wrapped and
draped turbans and berets that are
enormously smart. Furthermore. she
has taken over the brilliant and exotic
colorings that distinguish the original
models.

Three Colors for Scarf;
Worn With White Sports

There are all sorts of attractive
scarfs, many of them made of red.

clothes accessories in those colors, any

There are, for instance, searfs made
in triangles of the three colors. oddly

the three colors in wide stripes. others
with the center portion of the scarf
white, the ends striped red and blue.
These scarfs. striped and triangles

Electric Eve Aid. Blind

Electric eyes now are being used
to 'see" for blind persons in guiding
them about their homes by giving
them n sense of direction as they
move about. The electric eye, or
photoelectric cell, is made up like
hashlight with a small buzzer con-
nected to its battery, according to
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Con-
venient electric lights are then placed
about passages and Railways. par
ticularly at turns.
The blind person turns the cleo
trio eye about much as a person hav-
ing his sight would direct a flash
light. When the device points to a
light source, contact is made and the
buzzer sounds. AS long as the buzzer
is sounding the blind user knows he
is on the right path.

Horowitz of Chicago, and

will note that all of the play
ers mentioned IN this discussion
are of prominent educational
centers. That does not mean
there isn't many a brilliant
player lettering around the
,campuses and dormitories OF
some of the lesser universities.
There undoubtedly are plenty,
but their efficiency doesn't come
to the surface because their
teams do not play in the upper
brackets of intercollegiate foot
ball.

any place you might put him
in the line. For versatility he
can't be equalled in any ma
tionality you could mention.
When it comes to GOODNESS and
smartness in knowing where
plays are going and how to be
on top of them, Horowitz stands
out. He can't be left out OF
any all-Jewish line.
Jewish backfield men of high
caliber this year are not nearly
