outstanding mastery of the braillt
system.
Old Process Abandoned
About ten years ago Mrs. Anna
belle Brown, now a member of the
Cincinnati league, became inter
ested in braille and introduced the
project to the local group. At that
time a perforated slate and a
stylus were the tools used. The
process was tedious and discourag-
ing, and only few members mas
tered the system.
With the invention of machines
the work became less difficult and
actually interesting. More and more
members joined the group. Some
bought their own machines to sup
plement those already purchased by
the league.
The fun really begins when we
start on novel," Mrs. Griffith ex-
planned, because braille at its best
is slow reading, the blind prefer de-
tective stories and fast moving
novels
Given to State Library
The same thriller you would take
to bed with you would require si1
or seven volumes in braille. Thurs
day, Mrs. Griffith received the six
volume bound copy of the leagues
transcription of Zane Greys For
lorn River"
Other novels completed by the
group include The Hidden City
by Philip Gibbs, Harry Garrard's
Crime" by E. Philip Oppenheim and
"A Fortune to Share" by Wash
Young
These books have been contributed
to the braille division of the Indi-
ana state library, which circulates
them among the blind in Indian
apolis and the state.
Proof Read by Blind
The books transcribed by the
league are proof-read by a blinc
woman, Mrs. E. L. Parson, who
writes corrections on the margin Of
the pages. Her husband, who car
see with extremely strong glasses
reads the printed pages as she
fingers the sheets of braille, detect
ing the slightest error
Mrs. Burford is the only mem
Der who has transcribed an entire
book At present she is working or
her second novel, which she is copy
ing during her spare time at home
Miss Hereth, who is employed, re-
turns from work at night to spend
hours at her machine.
Demand Is Great
Because production of braille
books has never been commercial
lied, the demand for hand tran
scription is great. The league re-
ceives the paper from the local Rec
Cross and sends the completed
sheets to Washington for shell
lacking and binding The backs Of
the sheets are shellacked to make
the dots firm.
At Christmas time while doing
charity work, Mrs. Henderson came
in contact with a blind woman, who
reads braille. The woman's most
priced gift was short story, which
Mrs. Henderson prepared for her.

F STREET WIDENING
PLAN IS OUTLINED
H. A. Caemmerer Advocates
Remodeling of Old Patent
Office Building.

The remodeling Of the south side of
the old Patent Office building. so that
F street, one of the main thorough
fares Of the city, and Ninth street may
be widened fully Is feet, was advo-
Gated today by H. A. Caemmerer, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Fine Arts Com
mission.
If anything is to be done TO improve
F street in that locality to cope with
minor traffic conditions, Mr.. Caem-
merer asserted, the south entrance of
the old Patent Office building should
be torn down and eemodeled to permit
the widening OF the thoroughfare be-
tween Seventh and Ninth streets.
The commission recently sent back to
the District Building plans for widen
ing F street, but Mr.. Caemmerer ex-
planned this would have provided for
only about 31a feet on the north side
of F street adjoining the old Patent
Office structure. Further, it would have
been sacrificing q row Of oak trees Of
fairly good size without commensu-
rate benefit to traffic.
Mr.. Caemmerer made it clear that
should his suggestions for remodeling
along these lines be finally adopted
that provision would have to be made
for steps and adequate entrance way
into the building. As it Is, the recent
ly submitted District government plan
is now slated to go back to the Co.
ordinating Committee for study.
G. street, which runs at the north
end of the old Patent Office building,
is not affected in the street widening
program, at least for the present, said
Mr.. Caemmerer. His remodeling plan,
he contends, would give fully Is addi-
tional feet on F street.

BRIDGE CONTRACT
T0BE MADE Jan. 15
Calvert Street Span Bids Will
Be Advertised About
December Is.

Contract for construction OF the new
Calvert Street Bridge over Rock Creek
will be awarded by the District Com
missioners about January IS II present
plans are carried out.
The engineering firm OF Mod
Masters & Case, commissioned to draft
plans for the span, notified Engineer
Commissioner Gotwals yesterday de-
tailed drawings for the structure would
be placed in his hands by Decem-
Der IS
Maj. Gotwals said bids for the project
would be advertised at once. upon
completion of the plans. and that 81
days would be granted for submission
of offers.
Congress made available in the ap-
preparation act for this year a sum Of
S575 900, out of gasoline tax funds, for
starting construction of the bridge, sub
ject to approval by Director Douglas of
the Bureau of the Budget, which has
been given. The limit of cost was fixed
at $l250000.
Indications are the additional S675.-
is contained ir the 1885 budget eSti-
mates.
While the old span is being replaced,
traffic will be carried on treStle to be
erected for the purpose. The cost OF
this is estimated at some S50,000. En-
gineers say this will be cheaper than
to build one side of the bridge at a
time, to permit continuation of traffic,
because of the masonry type Of con-
struction adopted.

gestion is something never knew. Fear
of owls is the only reason I can think
of which would send the starlingS into
the city each dusk to roost, miles from
their feeding grounds.
Huge sWarms of the birds feed in
the fields near Blue Plains and along
the Potomac, eating seeds and poke
berries. They eat nothing in the city,
only sleeping here.
"One instance 1 recall seems the ex-
ception rather than the rule. A startling
had a sparrow on the sidewalk, holding
the huttering victim under its feet
while other Starlings crowded around
and literally ate the smaller bird alive.
But I'm afraid that Notwithstanding
all this, we would run into serious op-
position if We attempted to shoot the
birds. Perhaps the death Of few OF
them would serve eviction notice on
the others. I don't know"
Success Temporary.
Only once Mr. Lanham saw success
in his grasp. He tried to kill two birds
with one stone, in a way Of speaking,
by trimming small branches from the
Pennsylvania avenue sycamores, thus
eliminating plant pest which was
especially bad that year and at the
same time removing twigs on which
the starlings roasted.
The scheme worked. One section OF
Pennsylvania avenue, where the star
lings had been the only answer to the
overtime parking problem, was rid Of
the pests But they went to adjoin-
ing buildings, and next year the twigs
grew back
Once again few motorists parked
overtime on that part of the Avenue.
The shotgun seems the only answer
and Mr.. Lanham was ready to admit
that this might have an echo as well
as a recoil.

seemed to enjoy it. They even moved
nearer the smudge to warm themselves
After that I tried stringing wire
lined with bits of tin just over the ia
vorite Lodges. The starlings filled the
Lodges as usual and then roasted on
the wire also, as if grateful for the ad-
ditional accommodation.
Smoke Bombs Fail.
Smoke bombs hurled into the trees
only sent them wheeling in brief circles
back to their original roosts. They
are ready any night to keep that up
until morning. just as they reacted to
roman candles fired among them.
II understand that the owl is the
Starlings worst enemy. One night at
the Office I saw through the window a
great light-colored bird swoop to the
ledge, scoop up handful Of starlings
and disappear. In a few minutes it
was back again, scooping additional
victims.
After that night I never saw the
owl again. Whether it died Of indi-

Complimenting the Office Of National
Parks, Buildings and Reservations Of
the Interior Department on "the salts
factory designs submitted" for new
bridges in Rock Greek Park to replace
those recently swept away by flood
waters, the Fine Arts Commission today
forwarded a communication to Arno B.
Cammerer, parks director, on the
subject.
Charles Moore, chairman of the COM
mission, signed the letter, following
commission consideration of several de-
signs for the bridges submitted by Mr..
Cammerer.
Mr.. Moore wrote:

Many Bring Friends.

This year they seem more numerous
than ever. The new Commissioners,
like those who went before them, are
anxious to abate the nuisance. They
directed that two other committeeman
serve under Mr.. Lanham, one to be
appointed by the chief of the Health
Department and the other by the SAM
tary Engineers office.
1t was suggested that the three men
confer with Department of Agriculture
experts as to the best means of solving
the problem. The committee Is ex-
pected to function next week.
Mr.. Lanham is not wholly optimistic.
Washington appears to be the chosen
city of the starlings. Even if Mr.. Lam
ham and his assistants could succeed
in routing the birds from the District
Building and the SycamoreS along
Pennsylvania avenue, the starlingS
could scarcely be expected to overlook
theaterS of the vicinity.

cats from the toy stock OF a DEPART

swarmed in as usual at dusk At first
they moved over, to give the cats room
and after they got used to them had
to rescue the cats.
Then I tried smudge pots. I had
the men light smudges from old rags,
crankcase oil and old rubber.
"The smoke drifted into the District
Building and there were complaints.
Once I set smudge on theater
facade, and a ventilator intake swept
the smoke inside. No one in the build
