HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December g.
The film colony. which saw all recon-
Citation rumors downed with the filing
of a divorce complaint by Mary Pick
ford against Douglas Fairbanks late
Friday was speculating today on the
future courses of the famous screen
couple who for nearly 13 years had
been termed "Hollywood's ideally mar
ried pair"
A train, leaving Pasadena 10 minutes
behind schedule because of Miss Pick
ford's efforts to avoid publicity for her
departure, was bearing her to New
York.
In the metropolis where as a child
she began stage and film career that
brought her worldwide fame and pop
ularity Mary is to discuss plans for
her possible appearance in a play.
Plans Deferred.
Beyond that she had no statement
to make as she said good-by to a large
group of friends, including Douglas
brother, Robert Fairbanks. Plans for
her further appearances in films are

Picture making in England, golf with
the Prince of Wales, Winter sports at
st. Moritz-these were interests that
absorbed Fairbanks but did not appeal
to Mary.
In London a representative of the
athletic star said he would continue
his ''dignified silence regarding the
separation and divorce.
Arrival of Douglas Fairbanks jr.,
divorced last Spring by Joan Crawford
and since then with his father in Eu-
rope, was coincidental with Miss Pick
fords departure. The son, himself a
film star, said he brought no message
from his father and that he had rot
seen Miss Pickford before she filed the
divorce suit.
No Contest Seen.
Friends of the couple were OF the
opinion Fairbanks will not return to
Hollywood until after Miss Pickford's
divorce is granted and that there will
be no contest of the action.
Aside from Mary's acquisition Of
Pickfair in the property settlement,
there is no further disposition of the
couples property.

THEIR WORK BOON
TO THE SIGHTLESS
Chicago Women Help Blind
to Be Independent.

Inc story of how tifty-four Jew
ish women of Chicago for five weary
have been transcribing printed books
OF the sighted into the dotted lit
erature of the blind came to
light when they met quietly mt a
luncheon, says the Chicago Daily
News.
While these good scribes were
patiently printing in BrailIe 1902
volumes of 254 titles of books for the
last half decade their work was pub
licly unmentioned and done in oh
security in order that the Chicago
public library might have on it's
shelves this literature which would
otherwise not have been available to
the blind not only of this state but
Of the entire country.
Edward M. Peterson, CHIEF of the
department of books for the blind at
the public library, could no longer
Withstand the temptation TO tell the
story and gave it to the public.
The work was founded by Johanna
lodge No. 3 of the United Order of
True Sisters. Cooperating at present
with this lodge in the work are the
Council of Jewish Women, Jewish
Juniors. Sholom Sinai and the North
Shore Temple Sisterhood.
The 81 translators bring weekly
into the public library their work.
which is proof read by three blind
proof readers. The library then
binds the volumes and puts them in
to circulation. More than 10000
pages of Brai1le have been printed
in this manner on Braille typewriters,
which the library provides.
The transcribers first learned to
read Braille proficiently. They did
this work at their homes. 1t is litera-
ture of interest to blind college stu
dents and adult blind readers. They
are books of kind not provided by
publishers of literature for the blind.
1t is mostly of such a character as
will assist the sightless to become in
dependent in their work.
In the Chicago public library there
are 1927 volumes OF book for the
blind and 1924 titles. These ara ~
Braille and Moon type 1t is one of
the five great libraries of literature
for this class of handicapped persons

the pyramid of Sen Worset I, at I.isht,
forty miles south of Cairo, where the
museum expedition resumed operations
year ago after an absence of six
years ut Thebes. Se'n-Worset, the Sec
ond king Of the early Twelfth dynasty,
personally directed the building Of the
tomb and it was during the search, for
the burial places of the ladies Of the
royal family that the Psychologists
found the caisson pits.
Work was begun in the outer court
at the west side Of the huge mound.
although we failed at first to find
any pits" writes Mr.. Lansing, ut Is
fortunate that we did not give up
clearing this part of the court. Had
we d0ne-so we might have missed what
was from an archaeological point of
view at least, the most interesting dis
covery of the season." Describing the
method used by some ancient Egyp-
tian genius in penetrating beyond a
treacherous substratum of loose sand,
which had handicapped the digging of
the tombs. Mr.. Lansing says:
'They cut through the hard upper
stratum to the sand level, making the,
cutting sufficiently large to allow for
brick lining to the pit. a block of
limestone was then cut to the same
dimensions as the pit. This was hol-
lowed out to the size Of the intended
shaft and then lowered into the pit
until it rested on the sand. On the
rim of the caisson was built brick
wall. When this wall had been con-
structed to the level of the ground the
digging of the pit was recommended.
AS each basketful of sand was re-
moved, the stone caisson, and with it.
the brick wall which rested on it, set
tied slightly. Gradually the stone sank
through the sand, and as it sank
courses of brickwork were added to
the wall above"
Work Described in Inscription.
Discovery of inscriptions on huge
stones used for the sub-casing of the
giant pyramid brought forth other not
able facts which enabled the archeolo-
gists TO piece together vivid picture
Of the manner in which the stone was
brought from the quarries at Tura, on
the opposite bank of the Nile some
twenty miles distant from Lisht. and
deposited at the foot of the pyramid
under construction.
The transportation of these heavy
stones, says Mr.. Lansing. was chiefly
a matter of man power. The problem
was to keep the masons supplied with
material to prevent any interruption
of their labors. This was accom-
pIished by taking advantage of the
flooding of the Nile, which reduced the
distance the blocks Of stone had to be
dragged. Mr.. Lansing gives a picture
of the assembling of the stones on the
east bank for the arrival Of the flood,
followed by massed concentration on
the task of loading the barges, towing
them to Lisht and unloading them
there.

short, or medium length, is matter
chiefly of personal preference. There
are certain times, however, when
long needle best meets requirements
as in darning. The needle may be
coarse or fine, with lengths varying &C.
cordingly. but it is always longer than
the regulation needle. Milliners' nee
dies are somewhat longer than ordi-
nary sewing needles In each in
stance the needle is intended to carry
the thread distance exceeding that
of an ordinary stitch In darning 1t
would be across an open space. In
milliner's work not only are stitches
frequently long, but also the needle is
often run under folds of silk or trim
ming so that the thread is concealed.
In order to do this the needle must be
long. but not awkwardly long as are
upholsterers' needles, mattress needles,
and many others used in special work.
