Seeks to Aid Needy Blind
MRS. MATHER FINDS

To save the blind from being
crowded back into their former
isolation by the rigors Of the
i depression is an immediate OBJ
jective of Mrs. Winifred Holt
Mather, who has devoted her life to
leading the sightless from dark places
of retirement. ~u
Mrs. Mather, just returned to WASH
ington from an European tour In the
interest of the blind, feels hard times
are forcing many self-supporting
workers to return to total dependency
in spite Of definite progress toward
overcoming their handicap.
Mrs. Mather, who founded the
Pioneer Lighthouse for the Blind in
New York more than IS years ego and
later helped establish similar institu-
tions in many parts Of the world, is
stopping at the Mayaower Hotel with
her husband, Rufus Graves Mather. for
before taking up her work again.
Dependents Suffer First
In any community in hard times"
Mrs. Mather said, "the dependent
classes are first to suffer, and of all
those hurt by misfortune, the cry of
the blind IS most pathetic.
"The tendency in the world Of busi-
ness Is always to push aside the least
able Even carefully rehabilitated blind
workers are as whole about third
slower in performing manual tasks
than the seeing worker, although there
are individual cases where the blind
employe is much quicker.
Unemployment Is bad enough. even
for the seeing, but unemployment plus
blindness is a twofold cruelty. These
latter unfortunates must sit In idle
darkness, without the distraction of the
passing show. Their thoughts race or,
like squirrels in rotary cages, getting
nowhere and accomplishing only despair
The me-bOund and INDECENT among
the blind feel it most.
Their very blindness is not so grave
handicap as the attitude of the pub
lie toward them. It has been our work
to bring blind people out of themselves
and encourage them to enjoy the work
and recreation of their more fortunate
fellows"
Unnecessary Blindness Drops.
The object of the Lighthouses is first
to prevent unnecessary blindness-a
been made, particularly in the United
States.
Mr.. Mather pointed out the number
Of children blinded by preventable dis
eases is only one-third of what it was
Is years ago, about 712 per cent, as
against Is per cent.

MYSTERY DEEPENS
IN BROWN DEATH
Conflicting Clues PiIing Up
in Philadelphia Mans
Shooting.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PALMYRA, N. j., January ia
tangled skein of contradictory evidence
continued to pile up today before in
vestigators Of the fatal shooting 6f
Bradway Brown, young Philadelphia
business executive, making the case
more than ever q puzzling enigma.
Brown, socially prominent oficial of
Q printing company, was found dead in
his home last Monday night. A pistol
containing four exploded cartridges lay
near his body.
Indications, Investigators and phyd-
clans agreed, were that the victim had
been shot outside his home, probably
IN front Of his garage, but there the
agreement ended.
Hold to Murder Theory.
Three physicians connected with the
case inclined to theory Of murder and
one OF them. DR.. Daniel F. Remer,
Burlington County physician, said, I'VE
cannot conceive Of any way Brown
could have fired those two shots into
himself" DR.. Remer insisted Brown
would not have been able to walk into
the house, wounded as he was.
Police. however, refused to admit the
evidence pointed conclusively to mur-
der and persisted in their opinion the
case Smacked strongly of suicide.
Newly discovered facts which, friends
of the dead man said. refuted the
suicide theory, included the information
that q few hours before his death
Brown learned he was promoted to
sales manager Of his company with an
increase In salary. "He was so happy
and excited about It," his associates
said, he couldn't keep still"
Planned to Give Party
It also was learned he had reserved
a table for an entertainment sched-
uled for the night after his death and
to which he had invited 10 friends.
Out in the garage, in which Browns
automobile was found the night of
his death with its lights ON and the
motor still warm, police yesterday dis
covered bullet buried in the wood
Of speed boat. It was Of the same
caliber as those which caused his death.
The discovery served only to further
complicate the mystery, for police Of
fered no explanation of why a man.
if contemplating suicide. should fire &
useless shot into the boat.

Mr.. Mather said doctors and nurses
are leading the way in prevention work,
but that "the health Of any community
Is In direct proportion to the co-opera-
ton Of an instructed public with regard
to disease prevention programs.
The Mathers are voluntary workers,
contributing time and money to the
Lighthouses, many of which they have
endowed with substantial financial
corner stones"
Have Toured Europe.
They were received by kings, queens
and presidents during the past year
while sowing seeds of helpful work
among the blind" in England, Sweden,
Norway. Denmark, CZechOSl0vaka,
Hungary and Austria.
In addition to preventive work, the
Lighthouses seek to help the blind to
help themselves, to succor and relieve
the i'll, aged and needy blind, to give
work, recreation and vacations and to
provide this service regardless of race
or creed.
1--WE are in Washington" Mrs
Mather said, primarily to rest. We
feel the Capital of the United States
Is becoming more and more the
greatest of all Nations, and We hope
by stopping here to feel the pulse of
the world and gather new ideas for
the work which still lies ahead OF us"

| that government. There is no ques-
tion but that the person who is ad-
dieted to alcohol is not as capable
of performing a task as he who is
not. AS human beings and members
of social order, everyone is obli-
gated to preserve the order of which
he is a part. For people to function
as social beings II means that each
one must conduct his life so that
even though it is not a benefit II
will not be detriment. If person
gives him or herself to the use of
alcohol, society as a whole has to
suffer. First of all because the indi-
vidual who drinks lessons his own
value to the social order. Second,
his example encourages the liquor
traffic and sets afresh the trap
which will inevitably catch his fell
lowmen. ...
If these were the only damages,
they would be sufficient in themsel-
yes to condemn alcohol. But the end
to which alcohol works is not to de-
stroy governments as such, neither
social orders as such. but the foun-
dation upon which these lie name
ly, THE INDIVIDUAL. Scripture
says, "And fear not them which kill |
the body. but are not able TO kill the
soul; but rather fear him which is
able to destroy both soul and body |
in hell" We who have lived in a
great portion of our lives and have
seen many homes wrecked and lives /
destroyed by alcohol, should con-
slider our young people of today and
make sure that they will not be de-
prited of a happy home, a sound
body and a healthy soul
Our purpose in writing this article
Is twofold-first. it is to encourage
every citizen within reach of our
pen to fulfill his duty on MGy q by
casting his or her vote: second, 1t is
TO encourage everyone to weigh the
issue carefully, and after much
thought and prayer to do that which
he or she feels God would approve.

fear him which is able to destroy

We can not be led to believe tha
a truly aroused public conscience
will say, "Yes!" But the fact re
mains that those who are clamorinl
for the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment are but paving the way for the
return of the old saloon.
fs The 18th Amendment
Section l. After one year from
the ratification of this article the
manufacture, sale or transportation
of Intoxicating liquors within, the
importation thereof into, or the ex-
portation thereof from the United
States and all territory subject to
the jurisdiction thereof for beverage
purposes is hereby prohibited.
Section 2. The Congress and the
several States shall have concurrent
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation.
Section 3. This article shall be
imperative unless it shall have been
ratified as an amendment to the
Constitution by the Legislatures of
the several states. as provided by
the Constitution. within seven years
from the date of the submission
hereof to the Congress. (M-S4).
The issue that is before us at this
time is one that can not be evaded,
because everyone is involved in one
of three ways. if not in all three.
First, because it is a political issue;
second, because it is a social issue;
third, because it is moral issue.
Those who consider the question
only from a political standpoint
have weighed it on the basis of dol
lars and cents. If this is a fair
ground for the repeal of the 18th
Amendment, it follows that such
action would improve both the social
and the moral condition of the peo-
pie of the United States. Our gov
ernment leaders who claim that the
revenue from the legalized alcohol
will defray a large per cent of the
governments expense, would do
well to remember that every penny
spent for alcohol is taken from the
market of commodities which help
the individual rather than robbing
him.
Further, it should be remembered
that governments strength and eff
ficiency lie within the citizens OF ]
