Blind Man Speedy
Conqueringg Jigsavs
By Sense of Touch
Says Average Man De-
pends Too Much on Col.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May If a jigsaw
puzzle fan Is slow at getting the pieces
together, it is because he depends too
much on color and picture and works
without a system.
The author of that opinion is STAN
ley Wartenburg. The basis of the opin-
ion is Wartenburg's experience of a
year in putting jigsaw puzzles together
without the aid of eyes. He has been
blind since he had measles at the age
Of 4.
His sensitive fingers find wanted
pieces more rapidly than the average
eye. He became fan when other
members Of his family tired and aban-
doned a puzzle midway. Wartenburg
finished it and found a thrill compar-
able to the satisfied feeling he had al
ways experienced after solution of an
interlocking ring or key puzzles.
Since then jigsaw puzzle of $50 or
300 pieces has furnished his recreation
almost every night. During the day he
is busy as industrial adviser to broom
and mop makers in the Bourne work.
shop for blind men, which is main
tanned by the New York Association for
the Blind
Wartenburg's jigsaw system is me-
thodical First, he turns all the pieces
either face down or face up by feeling
for the glossy paper side He sorts
out the edge pieces and puts them to-
gether. He sorts and Classics the re-
naming pieces according to the nature
Of their curves or projections.
The rest is a search for forms, the
fingers OF his left hand roaming over
the edges of the pieces already placed
in the puzzle, and his right hand seek
ing the mate pieces from among the
classified groups
"A picture" he said, sis likely to
confuse the issue"

AUTO SAFETY BILL
IS RE|NTRODUCED
Capper Backs Plan Requiring
Drivers to Show Finan.
ciaI Responsibility.

The bill to promote safety in Wash
convicted of serious traffic offenses to
show financial responsibility was intro
duced in the Senate today by Senator
Capper. Republican. Of Kansas. A SIM
liar bill passed the House in the last
Congress, but failed to get through the
Senate, and must therefore go through
both houses again.
The purpose of the bill is to afford
a check upon reckless drivers and to
assure the public that a motorist who
has proved negligent will make restitu-
tion for injuries or damages Follow
ing conviction of certain major traffic
violations, motorists would have to show
financial responsibility before having
their permits to drive restored
The measure also would allow the
Commissioners to restore driving per-
mits to persons paying judgments in
installments. A motorist who had been
required to show financial responsible
ity under this bill, could be relieved of
that requirement by the Commissioners
after three years, if within that time
he has complied with the traffic laws.
The bill has the Endorsement of the
American Automobile Association, the
American Motorists Association, WASH
ington Chamber of Commerce, Wash
ington Board of Trade, Federation of
Citizens Associations and the North
east Washington Citizens Association.
It has also been Endorsed by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association,
the Petworth Citizens Association and
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association
The principle on which the bill is
based is favored by the United States
Chamber of Commerce.

At night, those who are able usually
get together and exchange stories
tales Of their experiences told with all
the bravado and exaggeration inherent
in youth.
They are tales Of nomadic existences
and roamings that would rival the
travelogues of a Burton Holmes, stories
of crossing the continent on endless
freight trains, or on the blinds of Pull
mans, in trucks and private automo-
biles; CT being stranded in the deserts
of the West, or on the streets of metro
politan cities without food or money;
of odd jobs here and there, or of pan
handling on street corners.
Each boy tries to outdo the other,
yet between the lines may be traced a
skein of truth. AS they squat Indian
fashion around campfire and tell and
retell their yarns, one is impressed that
here is a new and graphic picture Of
modern youth, not the jazz-mad, gin
guzzling type of few years back, but
youth that has wandered aimlesSly over
the country searching vainly for some
thing to do.
Now, lifted out Of their ruts and
given job, they have suddenly taken
on new spirit. Color has come back
to pale faces and new, strange sparkle
has lighted their eyes. They have been
given chance.

Mrs. Coffin has addressed the follow

Of the association:
With reduced income, the National
Recreation Association is being asked
to meet an emergency service made
necessary by the widespread unemploy-
ment condition. The association has
adjusted its program to the needs Of
the day and is doing fine work through
out the country in helping to keep up
the morale of the unemployed
1T is giving the services of it's staff
to communities everywhere to help work
out constructive relief programs of
wholesome activities for the idle time
of jobless workers and their families.
Adults and children with endless time
on their hands and depressed with the
sense of not being wanted and with no
money to buy commercial recreation,
must find recreation in public centers
If they are to get it at all.
"The problem is further accentuated
by thousands of boys and girls gradu-
ating from schools and colleges with
no prospect of employment. Young
people in this group, restless and with
out the stabilizing influence of a job,
are beginning to migrate from one town
to another. This development presents
grave possibilities of danger
This situation must be met and the
regular service of the association must
go on, too. To stop now would deprive
thousands of boys and girls of an outlet
for their boundless energy and start

the country far more than the associa-

BAR HITS
RETIREMENT PLAN
30-Year Rule Would Deprive
Government of Able Men,
Congress Told.

The Federal Bar Association, 1t was
revealed today, was among the organ
izations of Government employees which
registered vigorous protest against
the proposed compulsory retirement OF
Federal employees after 80 years OF
service during recent hearings on the
independent Offices appropriation bill
before the deficiencies subcommittee OF
the House Appropriations Committee.
William r. Valance, president of the
association, told the subcommittee the
proposal would deprive the Government
of the services Of many Of its most
skillful and efficient officers and en-
ployes, and would cause serious in
justice to persons Immediately affected
and members of their families depend
ent on them.
Combination Plan.
Any necessary reduction in person.
mel, he said, would be accomplished
more satisfactorily by combination Of
voluntary retirements after 80 years
service and separations from the serv-
ice upon the basis Of general efficiency.
1T seems to me, from the stand
point of the Government alone" said
Mr.. Valance, you would be laying on
the shelf many Of the Governments
most valuable trained personnel. In
your own work here, for instance, who
are the men who are leaders? Men
who have had but years experience
certainly are not in a position to head
your committees and conduct the af-
fairs of the House or Senate. You re-
quire experienced men, trained in the
administration of the Government, II
it is to be successful"
Retirement Every Two Years
"And yet" replied Representative
Buchanan, chairman Of the Appropria-
tions Committee, I'VE are retired every
two years"
well, I do not advocate that" re-
sponded Mr.. Valance. You have a
good many men here who have been
here more than 80 years"
But they are retired every two
years and then they get another COM
mission" MIR. Buchanan declared.

AKRON DISASTER

The cause Of the Akron disaster will

inquiry.
In his summation Of the case, Pen
noyer said:
Il believe the evidence shows that
the officers and men of the Akron were
we'll trained and skilled in the opera
ton Of his type of craft and they per-
formed their duties to the full limit
of their abilities. In the light of hind
sight, some may say that a certain
course of procedure might have saved
the ship.
Question Of Responsibility.
1T may be accepted in the case Of
the loss Of any craft at a certain place
at a certain time that any change of
action on the part of any individual
directly or indirectly connected with
the movement of such craft might have
averted such loss. In this sense, and
in this sense only, can allegation of
direct or indirect individual RESPONSE
bility for the loss of the Akron and
the loss of life consequent thereon be
supported.
IF any action taken can In the light
of hindsight be termed errors of judg-
ment, clearly they were without neg
ligence or culpability This disaster is
part of the price which must inevitably
be paid in the development of any new
and hazardous art.
LAS some one has said, the minds Of
men have projected a fleet of such
craft in the air and some day it must
fly there"
Lieut. c. j. Mcguire, counsel for the
judge advocate, in his summation told
the court information on weather con-
ditions and dissemination of such in
formation on airships was inadequate
Communications on varying weather
conditions while an airship is in flight
was described by him as also made
Quate.
Important Lesson Learned.
One important lesson has been
learned from the tragedy OF the Akron,
Mcguire said, and that is that all
thunderstorms should be avoided.
The judge advocate told the court
that although the wreckage of the
Akron had apparently been accurately
located, salvage operations were i'm
practicable and any material that had
been salvaged was of little or no value
In spite OF all the testimony the
court has heard" said Pennoyer, lit
would appear that the cause must ever
remain in the realm of conjecture No
eye witnesses can testify to what hap-
pened and even the testimony of the
three survivors is conflicting and diff
flcult to piece together"

 What was the reason. girls and boys, for making such an awful noise? I am the one who makes the thunder. Whats it all about? ?" Well" Scouty said, "we're Tiny mites. We travel round to see new sights, and when we met your helpers, who found out that you lived here.
 Wee Rattle said that we could meet you and we thought 'twould be a treat. Then Rumble told US that there wouldn't be a thing to fear"

Wagner, to Be Pirate Coach,
In His 2l Campaigns Became
National Leagues S'Createst"

best beloved player left behind him
a record OF personal worth and pro-
fessional service never equaled by
another player in the old circuit. In
his Fl years of continuous playing
he served but one f1ag-that first
lifted by Barney Dreyfuss In Louis
vile and later transferred to Pitts
burgh.
Wagner played in more games,
scored more runs, made more hits
and stole more bases than any other
National League player in the his
tory OF that organization. In addi-
ton to those achievements, he
batted 300 or higher through II
consecutive pennant races, the span
extending unbroken from 1897 to
1914. The Dutchman's record
showed a greater total of hits and
runs than ever was scored by an
other National League player.
Playing his first National League
game with Louisville in 1897,
Wagner, when he permanently re-
tired, had taken part in 2,792 cham
pionship contests, scoring 1,76G runs
and collecting 3,430 hits, Of which
2,438 were singles, $40 doubles, 252
triples and 100 hons runs. During
that long period he stole a total of
720 bases, still a National League
record. 1t was not until 1914 that
Wagner for the first time dropped,
below the 800 mark in batting, his
average for that season being .252,
his lowest mark. The records gave
him q lifetime batting average of
.32l. As q shortstop he never has
been excelled.
