Paris - The visagraph, perfect ed in America, and the photoelec- trograph, recently perfected by g French inventor here, are destined to be of considerable value to the blind, according to the headquart- CTS of the Braille Press here.
 The object of both machines. it is stated, is to supersede the fa- miliar Braille method, which So far has been found the only prac- tical means by which the blind can be assisted in reading. The new devices supplement the Braille method in certaip cases, but do not ever completely replace it.

It has. for many years, been printing and distributin litera- ture and music in Braille. free of charge, to the war and civilian blind of various European coun- tries in their own language.

A very interesting talk was given on sports and It's significance Tn every day life by Judge Martin E. Gormley of this borough at the annual banquet of the bowling league of Torrington Lodge of Elks held last night in the Elks home in Torrington.
 Judge Gormley, who was not ed athlete himself during his col lege days, pointed out that there was a more material benefit to sports than just the mere compe-- tition. The greatest benefit of all he believed was that which was brought about through the friend ships, contacts and acquaintance ship that are bound to follow.
 There was no time in the history of the world that close personal contacts with ones fellow man was so essential as it is today. With the great distress that is all about us, it is relief and a relaxation for men to get together where they not only engage in sports put where they get an insight into the other fellows problems.

TO CHECK
I LAW SUITS
MADE

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
5 ON.SO.-Administrative ma
chinery with authority to inform
industry as to what combinations
and agreements may be made le-
gally that raw materials may be
conserved and production kept on
an economic basis, was advocated
today before the institute Of pub
lie affairs at the University Of
Virginia by c. B. Ames, vice pres
ident Of the Texas company.
"The Antitrust Laws and the
Oil Industry" was the subject OF
Ames' address. He declared:
"The difficulty is that the
industry cannot tell in advance
what its rights are. 1t is not
sure whether it can make an
agreement to carry out the rec
OmmendatiOnS Of the Federal
Oil Conservation Board because
the powers of the Board are
not defined, and such an agree
lment might possibly be un-
lawful.
COMPANIES ATTACKED
"In the case Of the national
code of marketing practices,
the industry thought 1t was
safe in agreeing with the Fed
eral Trade Commission to OBJ
serve that code, yet Is Of the
companies which had accepted
the code have been attacked in
! Texas in q suit seeking millions
! Of dollars in penalties and for.
[ feiture Of their right to do
business in the State"
Ames pointed out that under
the present system Of admins
tration the validity or invalidity
Of the acts cannot be ascertained
except at the end Of law suit.
The remedy, he said, was to re-
move this difficulty by providing
administrative machinery which
can function in advance.
