HEARING TESTS
INAUCURATED IN
CITY'S SCHOOLS
Pupils at rs Are First to
Don Earphones, Listen
to Fading Numbers.

Audiometer tests for hearing
we're inaugurated in the Indianap-
oils public schools Monday. when
pupils at school No. rs, College
avenue and Thirtieth street, donned
the earphones.
Similar examinations will be af-
forded to pupils in all grade schools
in the city, according to w. A.
Hacker, assistant superintendent of
schools in charge of special classes.
The tests, which are not COM
pulsory, are being given by DR..
Ralph S. Chappell
DR.. Chappell states that he ex-
poets to spend the rest of the school
year in making the tests.
Forty Listen at Once
Forty children may take the test
at one time. They wear earphones
which are connected to an electric
talking machine.
A record Is played in which a
woman's voice, and then a mans,
is heard The voices give numbers,
and gradually diminish in volume.
Each pupil writes on sheet of
paper the numbers he hears. DR..
Chappell can determine the acute
ness of each pupils hearing by no.
ting the place he begins to write
down mistaken numbers.
In other cities where the audio-
meter tests have been taken, 4 to
1917 per cent of the pupils have
been found to be tending toward
deafness.
Lip Reading Is Help
DR.. Chappell stated that less than
8 per cent of the pupils at school
No. 76 we're deficient in hearing.
Pupils found to be beyond a GER
tain degree of deafness will be
taught lip reading, in order that
their eyes may supplement their
ears Hacker said.
Many children who now are con-
sidered dull really are only slightly
deaf" Hacker said. They require
two to three times as much atten-
ton as do the same number of nor
NAL children, and cost the taxpay-
ers lot of money in needless tu-
ition.
I'VE can institute classes that
will give these pupils better edu-
cation at less expense.
I'm many cases, partially deaf pu-
pills who can read lips have been
able to work side by side with nor
NAL pupils at almost no disadvan-
tage."

BY ALICE ROBE,

TT is a relief after so many
l. tragedies to find one child in
a famous painting whose story
has a happy ending.
THE Age of Innocence" is
named well, for the little girl,
with her hands clasped to her
breast, her eyes fascinated by
butterfly, breathes the very es-
sence of innocence.
Her dress is white and the rib
bon in her brown hair is pink.
She was just as charming as Sir
Joshua Reynolds painted her, Sit
ting under the birch trees on the
lawn.
Her name is Theophila Gwatkin
and she was the grandniece of the
famous artist. He loved her not
only for her small self, but be-
cause of her mother, Theophila
Palmer, who was his favorite
niece.
The famous painter was bach
elor and he adored children. He
gave his sister no peace until she
permitted Offie," as Sh Joshua
called her, 10 make her h.me with
him.
So, from the time she was Is
until she married Robert Gwat-
kin, little Ofhe's father, she was
Sir Joshua's constant companion.
She posed for him many times,
the Strawberry Girl being one OF
the best known paintings. But
she was really, with her sister
Mary, the boss of his home.
THINK of letting a 13-year-
Il old girl take charge of your
house! The result was happy if
not formal. Sir Joshua always
was giving dinner parties at
which the most important peo-
pie of the time sat down TO
table the like of which many of
them never had seen.
The china was nicked, nothing
matched, the food was not very

new MAJESTIC
TO BE- USED AT
COOKING SCHOOL

Housewives who attend the free
gas cooking school at the Ten
Thousand club this week will be
given the opportunity to learn the
many time and food saving fea-
lures of the new Majestic electric
refrigerator.
Miss Elmer Martin, instructor in
charge of the school, has selected
a Majestic refrigerator for demon
tration use because of its many
practical features that any house
wife will find advantageous. The
refrigerator comes from the local
I. V. Hardware store, the company
being the valley distributors.
Among the many advantages of
the Majestic are its convenient ar
rangement Of shelves and freezing
unit, the rust-proof shelves, its
splendid insulation, its quick
freezing capacity. its noiseless op-
Grafton and the flat shelf top
which allows room for storage.
Large and small ice cube trays
afford facilities for those delicious
frozen desserts and salads which
the housewife delights in pre-
pairing.
Some of the recipes that will be
entered in the prize contest will
have their origin In electric refrig-
Grafton. Miss Martin will demon
strate as well some delectable
frozen dishes which may be made
IN any electric refrigerator at her
lecture tomorrow morning III the

Mother Love Is
Theme OF Play

Mother love, unexpectedly devel-
oping in a woman member OF
gang of international crooks, forms
the basis for THE False Madonna,
which plays tonight only at Fox
Imperial theatre, with Kay Fran
els in the leading role, supported
by William Boyd and Conway
Tearle.
Throughout the clever machina-
tions of the chief of the gang, the
woman is induced to pose as the
mother of a young lad heir to a
large fortune. Her associations
with him develop into the real love
that a mother has for her child
and she is terror stricken when thf
boys guardian discovers her de.
ception.
Harried by the gang chief an6
by her own emotions, the woman's
anxiety is further complicated BY
love for the guardian.
The death of the youth brings
about a situation which enables
the story to end satisfactorily, with
the woman and the guardian find
ing way out Of their difficulties
together.

Seek Work For
Local LabOrerrs

Several local men who have fam
lilies to support are in need of en-
ployment, according to those in
charge of the local unemployment
office, and residents are asked to
make Jobs for them.
City and county officials and
all welfare organizations are CO.
operating in an effort to provide
work for those who need it,, said
w. N. Cunningham of the United
States employment service, and 1t
is time for the private citizen to
redouble efforts TO relieve the sit
uation."
Members of the local unemploy-
ment committee explain that while
the movement of unemployed
transients through the valley has
dropped off considerably during
the last four or five days, they
feel that it is due to cold weather
in the north and not a true indi-
cation of the movement through
the valley.
Residents who have work Of any
type they wish to have done, arc
asked TO telephone 85 and someone
will be sent at once, said Cum
