THE MINDS OF DEAF PEOPLE

THE MINDS OF DEAF PEOPLE VISUALIZE BY "PICTURE."- "l cannot claim to have any scien. tific knowledge of the subject" writes correspondent of q London newspaper, but I have the expert ence of many years intercourse with hundreds of deaf people. those who were born deaf, or became deaf at so early an age that they had not yet learned to speak. Dumbness is, of course, rare, and the only reason totally deaf people cannot form words is because they have never heard them. am cer- tain that these people think in pie tures.' They visualize the objects and scenes they are thinking of, and do not give them any names, until taught them. As an example of this: Some time ago wrote to deaf woman, who had received the ordinary education provided for deaf children, suggesting sh, might make some cushion covers for a Sale of Work She Is over fifty. of good intelligence. and has a comfortable home. A few days la ter she brought me the note asking what the words cushion covers meant. explained to her by manu- al signs what these words repre- sented, and she understood and made some nice ones. Up to that time she had never known what these objects were called, or the name of 'cushion,' although hay ing the same in her own rooms and using them. It Is this lack of v0- cabulary in those who have been deaf since before they were old enough to acquire language, that makes total deafness the terribly isolating affliction it is."

How Chief Executive of
 Nation Might Be Chosen

Should any other third candidate for the Presidency poll enough votes to carry state or two, 1t is quite pos sible neither of the nominees of the two main parties would receive an electoral majority, 266 votes, required to elect. The Constitution provides that in case no party has majority in the electoral college the house of representatives shall choose Chief Executive from among the three high est candidates in the general election. The vote would be by states, each state being entitled to one vote. If there should be deadlock when March 4 arrives, the Vice President Elect would become President, just as in the death or disability of the President. If there should not be a majority in the electoral college for any of the candidates for the Vice Presidency. the senate would elect the Vice President from the two lead ing candidates for that office, each senator being entitled to one vote. The Vice President thus elected then would become President.-Kansas City Star.

How Lumber Is Preserved"

A new and improved contrivance for saturating the tissue of logs with chemical fluids to render the wood proof against insect attack and decay, or to color it, is the invention Of George Lau, of Jamaica, N. Y.
 This machine can impregnate log throughout it's length with a preserv- ing or coloring liquid. The liquid is forced at high pressure into the hood which holds one end of the log. This drives the sap out and impregnates the entire log from bark to bark Sunday Magazine of the Philadelphia Record.

One pound of avoirdupois is hard to remove by exercise, says Arthur II. Steinhaus, physiologist, Chicago. He cites these comparisons to prove his point:
 ''In order to wear off a single pound of fat by exercise, the average sized individual must either fence eight hours or wrestle five and One-half hours; walk IA miles at the rate of two miles per hour or play football hard for four and fonr-Gfths hours push up from the floor STA times or climb to the top of Washington monu- ment AS times; shovel 57 tons of sand into wheelbarrow or play ping-pong 17A s."-Modern Medicine.

for sale at less than new costs of construction, regardless of how lew these costs may fall. Therefore little building of any kind is to be expected. Conse- puently most of the basic in- dustries will operate at low capacity and severe unemploy- ment will be continuous. Bus mess cycles in such a period will be suppressed cycles.
 The vigorous efforts to re- duce taxes will do well if they succeed in making cuts equal to the new taxes necessary to feed the unemployed. Some shifting to other forms of tax ation may occur. Public debts will increase and some of the government units will find it impossible to meet their obl- gations. It will be years be- fore taxpayers get these debts paid.
 Adjusting a price level down requires much more time than adjusting it up. It is not diffi- cult to adjust public and pri- vate debts to a higher level, but it is difficult to reduce them. To adjust debts it mere ly requires that the usual pur- chases be made at a new price level with the usual percentage of credit transactions. To ad- just debts down means the slow process of bankruptcy. Bank ruptcy acts like a house of cards-each bankruptcy starts another.
 Bank deposits will decline because of the reduced amount of business and the lower pric- es at which business is done, and the tendency to use cash rather than checks. This latter movement is encouraged by fear of banks, lack of banks, lower interest payments on de- posits, charges for checks, tax es on checks, and high postage rates. Many further bank fail- ures will occur.
 Because of severe unemploy- ment some workers are work ing for extremely low wages, but it is not to be expected that the general wage level will de- cline to the price level. The longtime tendency is for wages
 
 to rise as the output per work CT increases. Whenever the debts are liquidated so that business can proceed, wages will be far above pre-war.
 Interest rates will be much below pre-war for safe securi- ties, but a large part of the
 business will be on such pre-
 carious basis that for some
 years rates for agriculture and
 industry may be high. Interest
 payments on bank deposits
 will be decidedly reduced Il will be impossible for life-in. surance companies, universl-

Deflation or Reflation?

The price level must be raised to the debt level or the debt level must be lowered to the price level. This is a matter of grim reality that cannot be cured by psychology, confi- dence, or government lending.
 We must choose between de- flation or reflation. No count ry likes to change it's monetary system, nor does any country like to go through wholesale bankruptcies and continue to have millions of unemployed.
 Our choice is not between two desirable things. It is be- tween two undesirable things. Merely raising the well-known objections to either procedure does not commend the other.
 The question is, Which is worse?
 Effects of Continued Deflation
 If we wish to go through with deflation, we may as we'll proceed with the bankruptcies, foreclosures, and public de- l faults and get them over with. Merely postponing by lending some money or attempting to hold up the price of this or that will accomplish very little. If deflation is completed, the following are some of the in- numerable adjustments yet to be made:
 At the new price levels pub lie and private debts are nearly equal to the national wealth, These debts will have to be re- duced. The only plan thus far proposed for reducing them is bankruptcy and private adjust ment. This will probably re- quire three or four years fol the major adjustment and generation to complete the pro cess. While the more serious part of this is taking place bankrupt homes, farms, ano other properties will always be

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE

delegation from the Farmers National Committee for
Action demanded of President Roosevelt March that he
heed the demands of the farmers He too busy with
the banking crisis to consider the crisis of the farmers
The United Farmers League was of the most
getc bodies in the organization of the National Committee
National Conference in Washington D. c. Dec to 10. 1t
feels duty bound however, to offer it's criticism of incorrect
statements or actions by the National Committee.
part of the document presented Roosevelt not
give crorec united front reply to Rooseves program
This section of the statement (Which printed in full
page one) reads as follows:
''YOu have asked for time powers and have
exercised them in your proclamation today declar-
ing universal bank holiday and embargo gold
exports.
Therefore we confidently look to you for ac-
ton"
We think the confidence of the committee is entirely
misplaced for three reasons.
In the first place the holiday" proclamation of the
president made under orders from the bankers and not
IN order to bring relief to the workers farmers This
proclamation, therefore drafted at Wall Streets orders is
basis for confidence that Roosevelt will these war
powers" for the farmers.
In the second place Roosevelt will grant us relief only
when he is forced to by the farmers themselves The United
Farmers League does not confidently look to you Gr.
Rooseve for action until the farmers of the country have
banged their fist down that he trernbes in his
the mighty.
In conclusion should like to point out that the threat
of using war powers which Roosevelt made in his inaug
ura address, far from being basis for confidence the
part of the workers and farmers is threat that he will
use brutal force than Hoover did to make them
accept Wall Streets program of ruin and misery for the
working people.
The United Farmers League is organizing the farmers
to meet this threat of Rooseves and relief from
him by militant action. .~

Crush Workers
(BY ]. a

Bethel, Mimi, Feb. 24.-When
Mckinley got shot the militant
labor movement hal just started
in this country. The shot of Czol-
gocz set it back 25 years. The
capitalist press used big headlines
for g week to chlcrofotm the peo-
pies minds against Socialism, ar
archism and the foreigners. This
capitalist propaganda had a big
effect in the labor movement.
Zangara who trle1 to kill Roose-
welt was Republican. killing like
this is the result Of a crazed hys-
terra.
The capitalists can kill a labor
leader without any risk at all of
being punished. For instance
Frank Little was hanged from a
trestle In Butte, Montana, during
the last war.
I think the capitalist machinery
will be busy now hammering the
militant working class movement
while the belly filled man in the
White House is busy making laws
