 She wrote a statement of her life with Mrs Macy.
 Tt is true," the statement said, My teacher is now practically blind. I read to her every day and make notes for her in Braille. She knew Braille when she was at school. When she taught me she wrote out many letters, punching them on Braille tablets.
 "But since then dot writing has undergone changes. About half the letters are different. It was not difficult to teach Mrs Macy the new letters and we have fun when she makes mistakes, using the old letters. She will never read Braille rapidly. She never did.

was not acceptable. The present project for the establishment of Zionism in Palestine is a natural one. In return for the support of the Jewish legion in the Messapa- tania campaign in the World War, the British government promised to return Palestine to the Jews after it was recovered from the Turks.
 Great Britain has a Protectorate over Palestine on authority of the League of Nations. There are about million people in Palestine, the area of which is about like the state of New Hampshire. Of these about 750,000 are Arabs and 250,- 900 Jews. There are many difficult problems, but progress is being steadily achieved. Under the Jew ish leadership great improvements are being made in the reclamation of the land, the building of modern cities and institutions. The Jewish improvements are alike for the benefits of the Arabs and other races. This is being appreciated over against the abuse of the Arab peasants by the Arab landlords who in the past have kept them on starvation wages.

Rabbi William P. Greenfield, in a forum on Zionism painted the picture at the YMCA yesterday of the dispersion" of the Jewish peo- pie, and their desire flor a home land. The Jew, wanderer, on the face of the earth, is one of the few persons who has no national home.
 The rabbi pointed out that the peoples of other nations and races are not confined to live in their homelands, but practically all other peoples do have a homeland. In answer to question he said that there was no clash between Zion- ism and Americanism. It was per- fectly natural and normal for the loyal Jewish people in America or other countries to be interested in the reclamation of Palestine for the Jews.
 The persecution of the Jews, he said, has extended all down through history. Various efforts have been made to establish Jew ish homeland. One such was in Spain, but this was routed out by the inquisition.
 The British government offered a section of land in Africa, but this

 Urray, Scotland, Mar 19-Isolated in the wilds of great mountain Deer forest, blind Helen Keller is teaching the Braille method to Mrs Anne Sullivan Macy, who took charge of Miss Keller in girlhood and taught the blind, deaf and mute girl how to read and speak.
 Mrs Macy is threatened with complete blindness. But the patient instruction given by Mis- Keller has given her eyes such complete rest that there is hope her sight may be saved.
 Snow lay four feet deep and the towering mountain peaks were lost in a binding shroud as through sleet, hail and rain driven by a March gale the correspondent made his way through the desolate, in- hospitable Scots countryside to- ward Mis- Kellers little farm. At Muir of- ord, the nearest little village, there are but a score ot people, who make their living by blending whiskey and are doing well since repeal of prohibition in the United States.
 The lights of Miss Keller's farm house cleaned a welcome as the correspondent rugged over the moorland, where red deer were gathering in hundreds, terrified by the fury of the gale.
 Two shaggy collies parked. In side were Miss Keller, Mrs Macy and a third inseparable companion, Mrs Poly Thompson. They gave the correspondent a real highland welcome as they ushered him into the kitchen where fire roared in the hearth.
 Mrs Thomson told me that Miss Keller herself fed the chickens and cattle, holding out to them unsee- ingly carrots and turnips.
